se zaustavi na lociranju ovih ‘negativnih’
i ‘pozitivnih’ strana perifernog neoliberalizma.
Koncept budućnosti moguće
je otkrivati upravo ovde, jer periferna
područja predstavljaju – lenjinističkim
rečnikom rečeno – najslabiju kariku suvremenog
kapitalističkog sistema. Istraživanje
budućnosti se stoga može i mora sastojati
od pronalaženja mesta preloma – slabe ili
najslabije karike u lancu neoliberalizma.

Chto Delat, PARTIZANSKI SONGSPIEL.
BEOGRADSKA PRIČA, Avgust 2009.
Video Partizanski Songspiel. Beogradska priča
moskovsko-petrogradske grupe Šta da
se radi (Chto Delat) snimljen je nedavno
u Beogradu, sa uporištem u konkretnom
istorijskom događaju, ali i političkom
narativu primenljivom u širem kontekstu
neo-liberalne periferije i specifično u
post-konfliktnom prostoru bivše Jugoslavije.
Partizanski Songspiel polazi od
analize konkretne situacije. U pitanju
je politička opresija gradskih vlasti nad
romima smeštenim u okolini luksuznog
naselja Belvil, uoči letnje Univerzijade,
2009. godine. Istovremeno, po sredi je
univerzalna politička poruka, utemeljena
na ideji klasne borbe. Pozicije opresora
i opresovanih oštro su polarizovane: u
ovom slučaju to su gradske vlasti, ratni
profiteri i biznis tajkuni protivu grupe
obespravljenih – radnika, NGO aktivista,
ratnih invalida i drugih identitarnih grupa.
‘Horizont istorijske svesti’ predstavljen je
kroz glasove hora poginulih partizana koji
komentarišu dijalog između grupe opresora
i opresovanih i pozivaju na ujedinjenje
u borbi za društvenu pravdu. Poruka
ove inscenirane drame leži u zahtevu za
prevazilaženjem antagonizama prisutnih
u sferi ‘politika identiteta’ i potrebi za
iznalaženjem nove univerzalne politike
otpora koja će ujediniti opresovane grupe
est. On the other hand, it is possible to
find precisely in the peripheral areas
some vernacular strategies for countering
those destructive effects, since there are
a lot of ‘grey’ areas of activity that escape
governmental, police or juridical ordering.
But those ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ sides
of peripheral neo-liberalism cannot be
the end of an exploration of future possibilities.
The concept of the future can be
discovered there because peripheral areas
represent – in terms that invoke Leninist
theory – the weakest link in the contemporary
capitalist system. The exploration of
the future, therefore, can and must consist
in finding the loci of break – the weak(est)
links in the neo-liberal chain.

Chto Delat, PARTISAN SONGSPIEL, BEL-
GRADE STORY, August 2009
The video Partisan Songspiel, Belgrade Story
by the Moscow-Belgrade group What is to
be done / Chto Delat was shot not long ago
in Belgrade, drawing on a concrete historical
event, as well as a political narrative
applicable in the broader context of a neoliberal
periphery and specifically in the
post-conflict space of ex-Yugoslavia. Partisan
Songspiel takes off from an analysis of
a concrete situation. At issue is city hall’s
political oppression of the Roma located in
the surroundings of the luxury settlement
of Belvil on the eve of the summer University
Games of 2009. At the same time, it is
a universal political message, based on the
idea of the class struggle. The positions
of oppressor and oppressed are sharply
polarised: in this case, the city hall, war
profiteers and business tycoons against
the class of the disenfranchised – working
class people, NGO activists, war invalids
and other identity groups. The horizon
of historical consciousness is presented
through the voices of the choir of dead
