Memefest. Zašto da ne!
Critical Writing? Hmm.... teorija? Da! Da!
Gde je nestalo kritičko razmišljanje, pisanje? Gde je nestala teorijska produkcija?
Činjenica je da kritičko razmišljanje i pisanje, ali i teoretska produkcija, sve manje podržavaju institucije znanja – univerziteti, instituti, škole… Treba je konstatovati: današnja društvena pedagogija prepustila se duhu vremena koji z…
