COBISS.SI-ID: 56992354“The Eighteenth Brumaire of Jacques Derrida” was a lecture given by Jernej Habjan at the international colloquium titled (Mis)readings of Marx in Continental Philosophy, which took place on 11 November 2014 in Ljubljana. The colloquium was organized by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, the ZRC SAZU Research Center, and the Philosophy Research Initiative at the University of Western Sydney; the latter also contributed most of the funding. The colloquium took place on the occasion of the publication of the collective volume of the same title, which appeared in Fall 2014 with Palgrave Macmillan. At the colloquium, Habjan, who also coedited the volume with Jessica Whyte, presented a paper on the relevance of deconstructive philosophy for the contemporary theorization of ideology. He located the limit of this relevance in the spontaneous antistatism of deconstructionism, which in this respect coincides with contemporary neoliberalism.

COBISS.SI-ID: 37927981In response to a recent OECD report on Slovenia, which proposes the socalled greening of the economy and a corresponding tax reform, Aleksandar Kešeljević assesses these suggestions by comparatively analyzing the Slovenian green economy and its tax system. Kešeljević demonstrates that the relatively low level of household debt in Slovenia allows for considerable investments in energy sanitation of householdowned buildings and that this dimension of greening should also be considered in the process of implementing the property tax.

From the stand point of modalities of ideological practices, Lidija Šumah has tried to re-conceptualize the classical psychoanalytical theory of fetishism and thus set the problem of “ideological prosopopoeia” in the context of classical discussions of fetishism.
