A partial coping with passivity in the public sphere

With an approach that strictly distinguishes between collective and individual operation in a public space, Bojana Cvejić and Ana Vujanović open the discussion of public sphere performative acts and test the connections between ideological performative acts by group formations and individuals with social order and the possibility of changing them. The broadly set starting points also expose the loosely addressed issuesthat can be used as guidelines in further research: the application of theses in the field of collective operation upon the individualistic social system and a precise confrontation with the pluralism found in the neo-liberal democracy, the intertwining operation of ideology in performative acts with the power that mobilises the performative acts, and the connection between the individualistic and group tendencies in designing and redesigning the public sphere.
