12. Awakening Lazarus: Forgotten Figures — Masses and Surplus?Gal Kirn, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The text aims to think through a figure largely forgotten in radical philosophy or communist theology discussions today: the Biblical figure(s) of Lazarus. The absence of this figure from current discussions might have to do with something that was pointed out by Balibar as the ongoing "fear of the masses," and with their political awakening that is usually interpreted as violence, failure, riotous noise and absence of political program/ organization. I will perform a close reading of two stories of 1 This text is an edited lecture that was presented at the conference in St. Pe-tersburg. I would like to thank participants of the conference for their comments, Na-thaniel Boyd and especially Dominic Martin for their additional reflections on the political theology of Lazarus, and lastly the peer reviewers for their close reading of lacu-nae of the earlier version of this text.

Riots are extraordinary events that have been recurring with increasing frequency and that occupy a highly controversial space in the political imagination. Despite their often negative portrayals, it is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the confrontation between authority and dissent. Recently, with the deepening crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tension, an “age of riots” has powerfully begun. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode and the hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, Nights of the Dispossessed brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to “sense,” chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings—evoking a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population.
Ključne besede: riots, uprisings, dissent, impossible memory on riots, form of riots, riotous art, art on riots, political theory of riots, surplus population, crowd

15. Post Colonial Dilettantes : The Aesthetics Of Anti-ImperialismRajat Sharma, 2018, magistrsko delo Opis: The thesis begins a discourse into a need of an Indian film theory by exploring and
analysing the plenitude of relevant western theories. In order to do so it lays down certain
concrete relationships between ideologies, terminologies and their effect; as in what
exactly post colonial means, why it is important to understand the impact of colonisation
on culture and thus on one of the most mass consumed medium in India; films. The thesis
explores the depths and complexity of the relationship of these two and the other
influences that sprout from it for example the intensity of colonisation as a cultural project
and its influence on the social reality of the people, artists, thinkers (and in our case
specifically filmmakers) , who in turn reflect on this culture through various mediums
including films. The thesis examines the western plethora of film theory in order to
accentuate the contrast between film and cinema in the west and east and thus the
subsequent need to bring forth a new ‘Eastern Film theory’.
Ključne besede: Post Colonialism, Cultural genocide, Cinematic Apparatus, Baudry, Political cinema, Brecht, Counter Cinema, Feminist film theory, Laura Mulvey, Douchet, Lacan, Anti Imperialism, Third Cinema, Solanas and Getino, Third Manifesto, Indian Cinema, Satyajit Ray, Consumerism
