AB  - By examining debates on the Anthropocene era ignited by new materialist and posthumanist scholarship, this paper aims to discern how these perspectives can reframe the human-nature nexus. It also considers how various “developmentalist” approaches might assume the role traditionally held by the concept of human nature. The first section highlights concerns raised by posthumanist and neomaterialist scholars about the marginalized status of “nature”, life, and biology within dominant constructivist viewpoints. A central argument posits that notions like “denaturalization” and biopolitics amplify societal dominance over nature, pushing social theory towards an anthropocentric and potentially biologically indeterminate stance. Contrasting this, the second section delves into modern interpretations of the planet in social theory, inspired by the emergence of the Anthropocene. This lens reveals a dynamic, co-constitutive relationship, tilting less towards the unilateral commands of “nature” and more towards understanding the evolution of human life and societal structures within Earth’s expansive temporal and spatial realms. The third section further unpacks these developmental ideas by juxtaposing the theories of Bruno Latour and Tim Ingold. The paper contends that both approaches endeavor to illuminate the complex processes underpinning the evolution of life forms, underscoring the significance of culture. In conclusion, the intricate postnatural landscape of the Anthropocene necessitates a more integrated human-nature relationship. This calls for not only discarding dehumanizing facets of human nature, but also fostering a renewed sensibility – a deeper form of humanizing that acknowledges and celebrates our shared existence with other species and entities.

Takođe, u radu se razmatra kako različiti „razvojni“ pristupi mogu preuzeti ulogu koju je tradicionalno imao pojam ljudske prirode.

AB  - Recent results from Round 9 of the European Social Survey (ESS) indicate that Serbia differs from other European countries in terms of justice and fairness. Whereas the Serbian people’s dissatisfaction relating to unjust income distribution, unfair employment chances and political institutions may not be surprising, these findings still raise a dozen questions. Situated within contemporary discussions on normativity in sociology and survey methodology, this paper aims to reassess the moral grammar of these judgments. By endorsing tenets of pragmatic sociology and its principal aim to recognize the plural modes of valuation and criticism and reflective capacities of social actors to judge and evaluate, this paper develops around few major points. First, we underline how most major approaches to axiology remain stuck in a co-determinist framework, thereby renewing a number of dualisms. Instead, we opt for a relational approach and further present how the theoretical model of Boltanski and Thevénot enables the locating of different assessments of worth. After setting our methodological framework against the “externalist” epistemology, we explore our key assumption that the above-mentioned high rates come as a problem of a feasible “truce” between the domestic regime and the civic polity, ruled by proclaimed legality, representativeness and impersonal character. We trace the problem of incorporating multiple arrangements as a problem of generality, by relating these to two layers of information acquired through the ESS. One involves the analysis of the domestic polity covering the household situation in terms of organization and unveiling the specific worth given to care and protection. Another layer is derived from regression analysis which affirms that the absence of fairness in civic polity correlates with a higher degree of worth given to the domestic one, but also that the latter situation depicts a deeper ontological puzzle about making a mild transition to the assumed “horizontality” of civic matters.

AB  - Predmet ove disertacije čini razmatranje svakodnevnih praksi kroz prostore stanovanja u Zemunu. Namesto prihvatanja holističkih okvira, samo istraživanje je izgrađeno na temeljima osobene ontološke matrice koja akcentuje lokalne kontingencije gde se praktični život odvija relaciono i procesualno, prvenstveno kroz formiranje ključnih odlika društvenog života kroz prostore stanovanja i njegovo odigravanje koje se zbiva kroz svakodnevne prakse. Počev od pretpostavke da se formiranjem prostora stanovanja u konkretnom slučaju Zemuna suštinski formiraju i zasebne stvarnosti i progresivno odvajaju kolektivi kroz rezidencijalne zone, ovo istraživanje stremi ka tome da rašlani vezu između društvenog života i prostora. Stanovanje je stoga preuzeto kao alternativni pristup urbanim prostorima. Promišljajući ih kao komplikovane i heterogene konfiguracije ono podvlači kako su kolektivi upućeni na različite stvarnosti i forme života, posebno kroz bitno drugačije oblike oblike prostornosti i prakse koje se mogu pratiti direktno kroz vezu sa stanovanjem. U tom smislu, primenom kombinovanog metoda koji uključuje statističku analizu, zatim analizu istoriografske građe i drugih sekundarnih izvora podataka poput propisa i urbanih planova, utvrđuju se bitne socijalne razlike između rezidencijalnih zona u Zemunu kakve su Staro jezgro, masovno izgrađena naselja, kao i izbeglička naselja. Uočavanje ovih razlika je uzeto kao osnov za izbor ukupno 15 domaćinstava gde su uočene socio-prostorne putanje izrazite. Drugi segment ovog istraživanja upravo korišćenjem etnografije pristupa komparativnom ispitivanju svakodnevice i prakse u datim slučajevima. Osim razmatranja celokupnog aranžmana u kom se obrazuje svakodnevica domaćinstava u datim slučajevima, nastoji se najpre prići bliže prostornosti u vidu smeštanja praksi, formiranja distinktivnih prostornih modusa i povrh svega, značenja koja akteri pridaju prostoru. Ono što je takođe ispitivano jeste izgled svakodnevice koji se zbiva putem tela i realizuje praksama poput čišćenja, kuvanja, nabavke, ali i postupaka koji direktno zahvataju telo poput odevanja. Utoliko, ova ispitivanja odvode ka, premda zbilja uslovnom zaključku, o postojanju dubokih socijalnih rascepa u formi života koja prate ona izražena kroz stanovanje
AB  - Subject of this dissertation consists of considering the everyday practices through the dwelling spaces of Zemun. Instead of adopting holistic framework, research itself is based upon unique ontological matrix that accentuates the local contingencies where practical life takes place relationally and processually, primarily through the formation of the principal features of social life through dwelling spaces and their enactment through everyday practices. Starting from an assumption that the formation of a dwelling space in the particular case of Zemun essentially forms distinct realities and progressive separation between the collectives through residential zones, aim of this research is to discern the connection between social life and space. Dwelling is thus taken as an alternative approach to urban spaces. Conceiving them as complicated and heterogeneous configurations that direct collectives to different realities and life forms, it underlines how the collectives are directed to different realities and forms of life, particularly through different forms of spatialities and practices that might be detected directly through link with dwelling. In this sense, using a combined method that includes statistical analysis, analysis of historiographic material and other secondary sources of data such as regulations and urban plans, significant social differences between residential zones in Zemun such as the Old Core, mass-built settlements, and refugee settlements are determined. Registering these differences was taken as the basis for selecting a total of 15 households where the observed socio-spatial trajectories are pronounced. Second segment of this research precisely revolves around employing the ethnography in order to access to the comparative examination of everyday life and practice in given cases. In addition to considering the overall arrangement that forms an everyday life of households in these cases, it seeks first to come closer to space in the form of placement of practices, the formation of distinctive spatial modes and, above all, the meanings that actors attach to space. What has also been examined is the appearance of everyday life that occurs through the body and is carried out by practices such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, as well as procedures that directly engulf the body like dressing. Overall, these examinations lead to, although a tentative conclusion, about the existence of profound social ruptures in life-forms that accompany those expressed through dwelling

Namesto prihvatanja holističkih okvira, samo istraživanje je izgrađeno na temeljima osobene ontološke matrice koja akcentuje lokalne kontingencije gde se praktični život odvija relaciono i procesualno, prvenstveno kroz formiranje ključnih odlika društvenog života kroz prostore stanovanja i njegovo odigravanje koje se zbiva kroz svakodnevne prakse. Počev od pretpostavke da se formiranjem prostora stanovanja u konkretnom slučaju Zemuna suštinski formiraju i zasebne stvarnosti i progresivno odvajaju kolektivi kroz rezidencijalne zone, ovo istraživanje stremi ka tome da rašlani vezu između društvenog života i prostora. Stanovanje je stoga preuzeto kao alternativni pristup urbanim prostorima. Promišljajući ih kao komplikovane i heterogene konfiguracije ono podvlači kako su kolektivi upućeni na različite stvarnosti i forme života, posebno kroz bitno drugačije oblike oblike prostornosti i prakse koje se mogu pratiti direktno kroz vezu sa stanovanjem. U tom smislu, primenom kombinovanog metoda koji uključuje statističku analizu, zatim analizu istoriografske građe i drugih sekundarnih izvora podataka poput propisa i urbanih planova, utvrđuju se bitne socijalne razlike između rezidencijalnih zona u Zemunu kakve su Staro jezgro, masovno izgrađena naselja, kao i izbeglička naselja. Uočavanje ovih razlika je uzeto kao osnov za izbor ukupno 15 domaćinstava gde su uočene socio-prostorne putanje izrazite. Drugi segment ovog istraživanja upravo korišćenjem etnografije pristupa komparativnom ispitivanju svakodnevice i prakse u datim slučajevima. Osim razmatranja celokupnog aranžmana u kom se obrazuje svakodnevica domaćinstava u datim slučajevima, nastoji se najpre prići bliže prostornosti u vidu smeštanja praksi, formiranja distinktivnih prostornih modusa i povrh svega, značenja koja akteri pridaju prostoru. Ono što je takođe ispitivano jeste izgled svakodnevice koji se zbiva putem tela i realizuje praksama poput čišćenja, kuvanja, nabavke, ali i postupaka koji direktno zahvataju telo poput odevanja. Utoliko, ova ispitivanja odvode ka, premda zbilja uslovnom zaključku, o postojanju dubokih socijalnih rascepa u formi života koja prate ona izražena kroz stanovanje, Subject of this dissertation consists of considering the everyday practices through the dwelling spaces of Zemun. Instead of adopting holistic framework, research itself is based upon unique ontological matrix that accentuates the local contingencies where practical life takes place relationally and processually, primarily through the formation of the principal features of social life through dwelling spaces and their enactment through everyday practices. Starting from an assumption that the formation of a dwelling space in the particular case of Zemun essentially forms distinct realities and progressive separation between the collectives through residential zones, aim of this research is to discern the connection between social life and space. Dwelling is thus taken as an alternative approach to urban spaces. Conceiving them as complicated and heterogeneous configurations that direct collectives to different realities and life forms, it underlines how the collectives are directed to different realities and forms of life, particularly through different forms of spatialities and practices that might be detected directly through link with dwelling. In this sense, using a combined method that includes statistical analysis, analysis of historiographic material and other secondary sources of data such as regulations and urban plans, significant social differences between residential zones in Zemun such as the Old Core, mass-built settlements, and refugee settlements are determined. Registering these differences was taken as the basis for selecting a total of 15 households where the observed socio-spatial trajectories are pronounced. Second segment of this research precisely revolves around employing the ethnography in order to access to the comparative examination of everyday life and practice in given cases. In addition to considering the overall arrangement that forms an everyday life of households in these cases, it seeks first to come closer to space in the form of placement of practices, the formation of distinctive spatial modes and, above all, the meanings that actors attach to space. What has also been examined is the appearance of everyday life that occurs through the body and is carried out by practices such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, as well as procedures that directly engulf the body like dressing. Overall, these examinations lead to, although a tentative conclusion, about the existence of profound social ruptures in life-forms that accompany those expressed through dwelling",

AB  - In the past quarter of century, sociology encountered several distinct attempts that assign themselves a task of ample reconstruction of disciplinary grounds. Analytical sociology grows among these, as a peculiar tangle of solutions filled with causalist language common to epistemology which preceded the relativist blow in the 1960s, focused on explaining the individual actions as, original" sense of sociologist's job and restoration of Merton's mid-range theory. By following Pierre Bourdieu's theory of scientific field and the Andrew Abbott's model of fractal distinctions, this paper seeks to discern the emergence of analytical sociology. Unlike the two, common" alternatives in science studies - constructivism and realism, these approaches offer richer ground for tracing of scientific flows, by focusing on amalgamations that form scientists' practices through divisions, conventions, acclamations and mutual evaluations. Their particular advantage also is in treatment of moral dimension of scientific endeavour. After offering a brief consideration of these standpoints, we proceed by discerning the crucial segments of analytical program - its theoretical sources, the key concept of mechanism supported with specific theory of causality that prioritizes rational choices of individuals and finally, simulation method and agent-based modeling. At the end, we seek to discern the moral dimensions of both the analytical sociology and its critiques: of mechanism, as spontaneous order of social reality emerging from voluntary acts and conscious choices and the way in which a sociologist, as a professional, should treat suchlike conformity.

AB  - Paper illuminates ethno-national identifications of Serbia's bureaucratic-political elite, assuming its (con) figurative principles and diverging forms oscillate between capacities for political mobilization while simultaneously reflecting latency of social order(s). The analysis rests on the data obtained in survey of Serbia's political elite conducted in 2015, by using Bourdieu's concept of (political) field and locating these (con) figurations of ethno-national identification as expression of particular (dis) positions and social relations. Prior to the analysis, insufficiencies contained in dominant conceptualizations of identity are exposed, followed by reassessment of theories of nation and ethnicity by highlighting blurred line discontinuity between ethnos/nation has, due to processes of historical (de) politicization. The analysis first detects objective structure of Serbia's bureaucratic-political field. Through construction of scale of ethno-national valence it is shown that detected divergent degrees of ethno-national attachment correspond to structure of bureaucratic-political field, conforming the particular positions of political groups. Divergent contents of ethno-national identification among political groups are extensively analyzed and interpreted as a reflection of fieldstructure and capacity for political mobilization. In conclusion, it is noted that (con) figurations of ethno-national identity among Serbian bureaucratic-political elite differentiate around ethnic, but converge around etatist dimensions, reflecting the opposing conceptions of "valid" political community.
