Barikade 2
Boris Buden je proveo rat kao prevoditelj za mnoge strane novinare i delegacije. Bio je redoviti dopisnik Arkzina. Ovdje su sabrani njegovi prilozi iz tog lista. Oni sadrže analize raspada socijalističke Jugoslavije i osvrte na odvijanje Domovinskog rata u Hrvatskoj i rata u BiH. Impregnirani su internacionalističko-kozmopolitskom visinom i idealnim kriterijima, pri kojima Hrvatska, gurnuta u ovako prljavi rat kombinatorikom velikih sila, nema nikakve šanse ni opravdanja.

About the author
Boris Buden
35 books7 followersBoris Buden is a philosopher, translator and cultural theorist. His essays and articles cover the topics of philosophy, politics, cultural and art criticism.
He studied classical and modern philosophy in Klagenfurt, Zagreb, Ljubljana, and received his PhD in Cultural Theory from the Humboldt University, Berlin. Since 1984 he has worked as a free-lance journalist and writer. Buden regularly publishes essays in German, English and French on philosophical, political, and cultural subjects pertaining to the former Yugoslavia, western Europe and the United States of America in such journals as Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse und Gesellschaftskritik, Literatur und Kritik, and the Vienna cultural magazine Springerin. In addition to his activities as a journalist Buden has made a name as a translator of Freud into Croatian. As an activist in the Yugoslavian peace movement he founded in 1993 the journal Arkzin, a cultural-political and social-critical publication devoted to international literature, art, pop culture and the new media. In addition, he is the founder and chief editor of Bastard Publishing Co. In 1998 it published the first Croatian new edition of the Communist Manifesto with a foreword by Slavoj Žižek. Buden's political activism has born fruit as a volume of essays that appeared as Barricades I and Barricades II.
Central to Buden's writing is the concept of a culturally-politically divided Europe: post-communist eastern Europe is regarded as an outsider and "bastard" of the European Union. In its exclusion, however, Buden sees the chance to define anew the universal appeal of west-European culture, for "this universal is not being reconfigured along the dividing line drawn between cultural identities, and even less upon the bulwark of multiculturalism which only freezes the existing relations, but rather it is being expressed on the barricades upon which, after all that has happened, it was born in a political and historical sense." (Based on source).
Buden is a permanent fellow at the European Institute for Progressive Cultural Policies (EIPCP) in Vienna and he teaches cultural theory at the Faculty of Art and Design, Bauhaus University, Weimar. He lives in Berlin.

BARIKADE 2 je zbirka novinskih tekstova Borisa Budena u kojima on, iz pozicije nezavisnog intelektualca, nastanjenog u Beču, secira hrvatsko društvo i kulturu, uz pristup i neposredno iskustvo zapadnoevropske percepcije događaja u bivšoj Jugoslaviji.
Tekstovi su briljantni, teško je zamisliti ovakav kontinuitet visokog nivoa rukopisa, doslednosti misli, pa i integriteta u nekom savremenom mediju.
Buden je pisao tekstove za časopise koji svakako nisu dnevna novina, međutim, pisao ih je tako da traju, pa čak i kada se bave događajima koje istorija nije zabeležila kao važne, on ih opisuje u dovoljnoj meri da se iz ovog rukopisa mogu razumeti.
Stoga, BARIKADE 2 nije samo vrhunsko čitalačko iskustvo iz kog se mnogo može naučiti već i jedan solidan putokaz za dalje istraživanje ovog perioda i potragu za dokumentima o događajima koji su ovde obrađeni.
BARIKADE 2 skupljaju tekstove koje govore o trenutku, ali ih je Buden učinio trajnim.
