We live in an era where the university system is undergoing great changes owing to developments in financing policies and research priorities, as well as changes in the society in which this system is embedded. This change toward a more market-oriented university, which also has immediate effects in academic peripheries such as the Balkans, the Middle East, or South-East Asia, is of great influence for the pedagogical practice of "less profitable" academic areas such as the Humanities: philosophy, languages, sociology, anthropology, history. Because of the absence of a historically grounded establishment of the Humanities, academic peripheries, usually accompanied by a weak civil society infrastructure, seem to offer the most fertile ground for rethinking the Humanities, their pedagogical practice, and their politics, as well as the greatest threats, such as the ongoing capitalization of research, and profitability as the norm of educational achievement. The sprawling presence of for-profit universities and in academic peripheries such as Albania and Kosovo is indicative of this problematic, as are consistent underfunding of universities and the relentless budget cuts in American and English, and to a lesser extent European, universities. Motivations for this ongoing attack on the university are often driven by a political system or a politics with an aggressive stance to critical thought.
In this essay I attempt to defend Badiou's conception of inaesthetics, drawn from the Handbook of Inaesthetics, from the pertinent criticisms of Rancière. In doing so, it is possible to delimit the intra-philosophical effects (truth effects) of artistic events (this combination being the domain of inaesthetics). Badiou can be defended from all of Rancière's objections, save the objection that inaesthetics asserts a 'propriety of art.' However, in granting this objection, it is possible to open a different question regarding Badiou's work: what is the status of Badiou's comments on art outside of the Handbook of Inaesthetics? Through a reading of Le siècle, I show that, for Badiou, the importance of art extends beyond inaesthetics to other domains of thought. Yet Badiou has yet to answer the question of how art and truth relate outside of the domain of inaesthetics. ; Peer reviewed ; Final article published
Danes živimo zelo hiter tempo življenja pri katerem pozabljamo nase in soljudi. Pozabljamo na potencial, ki ga skriva človek. Človek je najbolj prefinjen mehanizem, ki ga poznamo, vendar upravljanja le tega se še da naučiti. Uporabe se lahko naučimo skozi jogo. Joga je zelo širok pojem, zato smo ji posvetili celotno poglavje, kjer je podrobneje razložena. Tudi človeški viri so zelo kompleksna tematika. Vsi tipi organizacij se srečujejo z vprašanjem vodenja ljudi oziroma organizacije človeških virov. Na tem mestu smo videli priložnost povezave dveh kompleksnih tematik, ki sovpadata, saj se organizacije srečujejo z mnogimi vprašanji za katere joga ponuja rešitev. V nalogi na začetku opredelimo človeške vire, kjer obravnavamo neotipljivi kapital, človeka in znanje. Na to se posvetimo razlagi upravljanja s človeškimi viri, ki zajema načrtovanje, zaposlovanje in razvoj zaposlenih. V poglavju investicija v človeške vire predstavimo človeške vire kot kapital podjetja, medosebne odnose, dobro počutje zaposlenih, trajnostni razvoj in politiko podjetja. Tretje poglavje zajema opis joge, njeno psihologijo in filozofijo. Nadaljujemo z zgodovinsko razlago joge in njenih poti ter jogo pripeljemo vse v današnji čas, kjer prestavimo različice joge danes. Joga nam med drugim nudi pet podanih načel, ki so pravilna sprostitev, pravilni telesni položaji, pravilno dihanje, pravilna prehrana, meditacija in pozitivno razmišljanje. Primere prakse joge pa najdemo tudi v organizacijah, te smo podali, zraven opisa koristi joge v organizaciji. Na koncu smo naredili kvalitativno raziskavo s pomočjo intervjuja ter opisali sodelujoče organizacije pri raziskavi, podali smo izvedbo raziskave, predstavili rezultate, preverili hipoteze in zapisali ugotovitve. Investicija v človeške vire se nam zdi danes nujna za uspešno poslovanje organizacije. Investiranje v človeške vire mnoge organizacije še vedno smatrajo kot strošek, vendar na tam mestu lahko uporabimo rek »kdor ne investira, ne profilira«. Strošek ali investicija, se lahko vprašamo pri marsikaterem izdatku. Pomembno si je postaviti prioritete in se zavedati pomembnosti ljudi znotraj organizacije. V kolikor se zavedamo pomembnosti ljudi v organizaciji, bomo izdatek za človeške vire poimenovali investicija brez premisleka. Investicije so lahko različne, vendar mi priporočamo jogo, saj je tako široka in fleksibilna vsebina, ki se jo da aplicirati v katerokoli organizacijo. ; Today we live a very fast life and at this tempo we often forget ourselves and fellow humans. We are forgetting about the potential that lies within each and every one of us. Our body is the most sophisticated mechanism we know, but it's proper management is yet to be learned. Properly using our body can be learned thru yoga. Yoga is a very broad concept, so we have devoted an entire chapter to this topic, where it is explained in more detail. Human resources are also a very complex topic. All types of organizations face the issue of managing people or organizing human resources. At this point, we have seen the opportunity of linking two complex themes that coincide, as organizations are confronted with many issues for which yoga offers a solution. In the beginning of this research we define human resources, where we deal with an intangible capital, man power and knowledge. The next part is devoted to explananing the management of human resources, which covers the planning, employment and development of employees. In the chapter on investment in human resources, we present human resources as capital of a company, interpersonal relations, employee well-being, sustainable development and company policy. The third chapter covers the description of yoga, its psychology and philosophy. We continue with the historical overview of yoga and its paths, and continue to our present time, where we present different types of yoga used today. Yoga, among other things, offers us five principles, which are proper relaxation, proper bodily positions, proper breathing, proper diet, meditation and positive thinking. Examples of yoga practice can also be found in organizations, which we have outlined, besides describing the benefits of yoga in the organization. In the end, we made a thorough research with the help of an interview and described the participating organizations in the survey. We presented the results and data from our research, examined the hypotheses, and recorded the findings. We believe that investment in human resources is necessary for running a successful organization. Investing in human resources is still considered by many organizations as an expense, but in this case we can say no risk no reward. Cost or investment, is a debate in most of expenses. It is important to set priorities and be aware of the importance of people within the organization. If we are aware of the importance of people in the organization, we will call the expenditure for human resources an investment without consideration. Investments may be different, but we recommend yoga, as it is both a wide and flexible content that can be applied to any organization.
