Secondary title: |
Neoliberalism through the prism of the pedagogy of the oppressed |
Secondary abstract: |
Neoliberalism is a political and economic concept which has been established in Slovenia in the last twenty years. This thesis is questioning whether neoliberalism, despite its discursive freedom, is a mechanism of oppression. It presents the main ideas on which neoliberalism is grounded and where it shows its oppressive nature. The intention of this thesis is presenting how neoliberalism is reducing sovereignty of the state, how it helps capitalistic ideas to expand into the most intimate levels of individual and his/hers social relations, and the role of media and advertising in the oppressive nature of neoliberalism. This theoretical thesis is based on the concepts of oppression by Freire and Frankl. Two authors conceptualize oppression, its mechanisms, and they give description of human behavior in oppressive inter human relations. Freire's theory also points out four main mechanisms of opression, named Antidialogical actions, which are used as the basis of questioning neoliberalism and its oppressive nature. The first antidialogical action is conquest which is exposing myths on which neoliberalism stands. The second mechanism shows its tendency in 'Divide and rule' strategy, and the third action problematizes the role of manipulation. The last antidialogical action is cultural invasion which deals with accepting and integrating invasive societal, political and economic interpretations and resulting life styles based on individualism, consumerism and materialism. The final question of the thesis is how neoliberalism oppresses us today. This diploma thesis connects oppression and neoliberalism, presents how this political and economic doctrine uses mechanisms of oppression for its implementation and uses them for prevailing against other alternative concepts of politics, economy, state and society. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Neoliberalizem je politično-ekonomski koncept, ki se je uveljavil v Sloveniji v zadnjih dvajsetih letih. Diplomsko delo pa se sprašuje, če in na kakšen način je neoliberalizem, kljub svoji diskurzivni svobodi, mehanizem zatiranja. Zato prikaže glavne ideje na katerih temelji neoliberalizem in kako se skozi neoliberalizem kažejo mehanizmi zatiranja. Namen naloge je prikazati, kako neoliberalizem zmanjšuje vlogo države preko zmanjševanja njene suverenosti, kako se z njegovo pomočjo razširjajo meje kapitalizma tudi v najbolj intimne sfere posameznika in njegovih socialnih odnosov, ter predstaviti vidik medijev in oglaševanja kot neoliberalističnega orodja zatiranja. Teoretsko diplomsko delo za pod drobnogled vzame koncepta zatiranja, kot jih predstavita Freire in Frankl. Avtorja uspeta konceptualizirati zatiranje, njegove mehanizme in opisati človeško delovanje v odnosih, ki so zatiralski. Freirova teorija tudi izpostavi štiri glavne mehanizme zatiranja, antidialoške akcije, po katerih to diplomsko delo problematizira neoliberalizem. Prva, prevlada, izpostavlja mite na katerih stoji kultura zatiranja (v tem primeru neoliberalizem), druga izpostavlja stremljenje k strategiji ''deli in vladaj'', tretja antidialoška akcija predstavlja neoliberalizem in njegovo uporabo manipulacije, četrta pa je kulturna invazija, v kateri se problematizira sprejemanje in integracija invazivnih družbenih, političnih in ekonomskih interpretacij ter povezanih življenjskih stilov, ki sedaj temeljijo na individualizmu, potrošništvu in materializmu. V zaključku se diplomsko delo sprašuje tudi o problemu, kako nas danes neoliberalizem zatira. Diplomska naloga povezuje zatiranje in neoliberalizem ter kako le ta uporablja mehanizme zatiranja za svojo implementacijo, predvsem pa za vzdrževanje prevlade nad možnimi alternativnimi koncepti politike, ekonomije, družbe in države. |
