Samoviđenje angažmana – jedan segment autobiografije kao istorijskog izvora

Abstract

Engagement is an important component of autobiography as a historical source. How we remember what we are also depends on how we remember what we did as intellectuals. We shall discuss the ideological and moral side of engagement, the change in the content of engagement after the collapse of socialism, and criticism of the conversion of intellectuals. This paper is also a self-reflective attempt at the writer’s self-perception of professional engagement in scholarly and journalistic contributions and practical activity. Self-reflexive awareness of engagement is not a prisoner of correct hegemonic terms that turn the authentic into a socially acceptable autobiographical past.
