Snježana Kordić

Snježana Kordić is a linguist whose research interests include language politics, social lingistics, ideology of language purity, history and the birth of nations.  Besides these topics, she has researched numerous grammatical themes.  She received her doctorate in Zagreb, Croatia and has lived in Germany where for fifteen years she taught at universities in Bochum, Munster, Berlin and Frankfurt. She has participated in numerous symposiums, conferences, and congresses around the world.  In 2001 she argued for the survival foundational scientific principles in linguistics in Croatia by starting a discussion with Croatian Language purists in a Zagreb Journal called Republika in order to point out the many contradictions present in Croatian Language Purism.  In 2003 the discussion was moved into a newly formed Zagreb journal called Književna Republika and has lasted nine years.  The over 500 pages of writing from those marathon discussions were preparation for her newest book Language and Nationalism (Jezik i nacionalizam).  In Zagreb she has previously publish two books about linguistic themes which enjoyed positive reviews around the world, and as such were translated into German and distributed in Germany. Internationally she has publish grammar and textbooks for English and German speaking readers.  All the books she has published internationally have experience multiple rounds of publishing.  In addition she has published over 150 other (social)linguistic works in various, often international, philological journals and anthologies.

Kurs: Jezik i ideologija
Voditeljica: Snježana Kordić

Zašto jezik kao malo koja druga tema diže ljude na noge, uzrujava i čini spremnima za sukobe? On je stalni izvor konflikta u Bosni i Hercegovini, Hrvatskoj, Srbiji i Crnoj Gori - danas kao i prije deset godina, dvadeset, četrdeset. Proširilo se uvjerenje među starima i mladima, među obrazovanima i neobrazovanima, kroz sve slojeve društva od političara pa do željezničara, da je njihov jezik ugrožen od strane onog drugog naroda. I da je time doveden u pitanje opstanak vlastitog naroda i svakog pojedinca. Istovremeno se rasprostranilo i mišljenje da nacija ne može postojati ako nema zaseban jezik koji ne dijeli ni s jednom drugom nacijom. Premda takvo mišljenje nije točno i opovrgavaju ga primjeri brojnih nacija, ipak se u domaćoj sredini rijetko koji pojedinac usudi ukazivati na takve primjere. Političari, mediji i većina intelektualaca napravili su atmosferu u kojoj razumna i smirena diskusija o jeziku kao da nije moguća. Pokušaji objektivnog pristupa temi jezika doživljavaju se kao napadi i dočekuju se erupcijom emocija. Nacionalne elite koriste jezično pitanje kao tinjajuću vatru koju u svakom trenutku mogu pretvoriti u požar.

U takvoj situaciji jedino upoznavanje s činjenicama i prenošenje tih znanja u šire slojeve stanovništva može skinuti s teme jezika njen veliki potencijal za konflikte. S tim ciljem će se ovaj kurs bazirati na spoznajama znanosti o jeziku, i pružiti uvid u temeljne sociolingvističke pojmove, koji se vrlo često spominju u javnom prostoru a da se ključne stvari o njima ne znaju. Rasvijetlit će i osnovne događaje vezane uz jezik, za koje su mnogi čuli ali samo u verziji korisnoj za nacionalnu mitologiju. Izbor sadržaja kursa uzima u obzir još jedno izrazito svojstvo domaće sredine: naime, karakteristično je da, čim se počne nešto raspravljati o jeziku, vrlo brzo se u raspravi pojave riječi narod, nacija, identitet, kultura, povijest. Pritom dominira neupućen, laički i populistički pogled na te pojmove. Zato će i oni na kursu biti značajne teme. Tako da će kurs u pravom smislu riječi biti interdisciplinaran jer pored lingvističkih spoznaja koristit će saznanja iz sociologije, antropologije, psihologije i historiografije.

Ubleha za idiote

  • Cilj (dugoročni)

    Najšupljija priča koju treba uvaliti donatoru; totalna ubleha (v.). I, da bi sve bilo pošteno, naglasi se da je cilj neostvariv premda je to očevidno.   Korišten sa odobrenjem iz Ubleha za idiote od Nebojše Šavija-Valha i Ranka Milanović-Blank, ALBUM br. 20, 2004, Sarajevo.
