Journal De-artikulacija (part I & part II)/
Platform 0, for theory, arts, protests and politics
Publishing of De-artikulacija (the name is more appropriate giving the time of de-coloniality), became possible after the generous invitation to take part at the 15th Biennial of Art: DE/RE/CONSTRUCTION: space, time, memories in Pančevo, Serbia. The invitation came by the selectors of the visual segment: Nikola Dedić and Aneta Stojnić. De-artikulacija is published in an English-Serbian edition and not English-Slovenian, as the bilingual concept is one of the main points of the entire platform. This invitation made possible to conclude the project of publishing Re-artikulacija, since, when earlier in the year 2012 we decided to stop the project it was left as an unfinished job. We were already from 2011 on working on the number for 2012 and the logic was that each of the editors Gržinić and Leban gets texts on the conceived topic and concept for the respective number. (…)
Re-artikulacija deeds are the the power of alliances. In 2007 this was a revolutionary move. What we did is to connect particular important struggles in Slovenia, the LGBTQ community, specifically the Ljubljana lesbian core scene around ŠKUC-LL with artistic practices and the generations of young writers coming from Zagreb, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Skopje and Priština. We included in the whole story the positions of activists, artists and theorists from Vienna and Austria, Germany, Spain, Great Britain, Latin America and Asia and Australia. We as well activated the relations with former Eastern European spaces and the powerful new generations of young theoreticians that contested the middle of the road produced stereotype that the pertinent analyses are produced in the West only. Extremely important is that we put forward discussions of decoloniality vs. post-colonialism that showed the power of the Black Diaspora in Europe when reflecting on colonialism and coloniality; we disclosed formats of fascism and discrimination of the LGBTQ population along the discrimination of the Roma community, migrants, and asylum seekers (editor Marina Gržinić)
