Lutalački etos i duh romantike - razmatranja na tragu sociologije Maksa Vebera

Abstract

Prvi deo članka posvećen je glavnim kategorijama istorističke sociologije Maksa Vebera: etosu i duhu. Autori razmatraju koncepte kapitalističkog duha i protestantskog duha i, oslanjajući se na Veberov nezavršeni spis o muzici, tragaju za nedostajućim konceptom romantičarskog duha, koji bi se mogao povezati s lutalačkim etosom. U drugom delu članka oni odvajaju fenomen lutanja (kretanja bez smisla i cilja) od putovanja (kretanja ka određenom cilju) i analiziraju mogućnosti rekonstruisanja lutalačkog etosa u kontekstu romantike u usponu. Naposletku, oni se bave glavnom promenom kroz koju je lutanje prošlo u 18. i početkom 19. veka: od prezrene aktivnosti koju su upražnjavali samo društveni otpadnici (sa izuzetkom kalfi i trgovaca) do sredstva regeneracije.

First part of the article is devoted to the main categories of Max Weber's historicist sociology: ethos and spirit. The authors are examining his concepts of capitalist spirit and protestant spirit and, relaying especially on Weber's unfinished treatise on music, contemplating the missing concept of romantic spirit, which could be tied with wandering ethos. In the second part of article, they are separating the phenomena of wandering (moving without purpose or goal) from travelling (moving towards the determined end) and analysing the possibilities of re-constructing the wandering ethos in context of emerging early Romanticism. In the end they are dealing with the main change the wandering underwent in 18th Century and early 19th Century: from despised activity practiced by social outcasts only (with few exceptions such as journeymen and merchants) to the tool of regeneration.
