Kolektivna trauma put ka teorijskoj konvergenciji / Collective Trauma the Road to Theoretical Convergence

Abstract

Social sciences are focused on analyzing the behavior of individuals, both as members of broader communities and networks, as well as examining wider aspects of social relationships, from personal and intimate to public and political. Contemporary analyses in social sciences also aim to investigate issues of identity, modern citizenship, migration, diversity, new technologies and the changes they provoke, as well as exploring the uncertain consequences of globalization processes. Today, the task of both sociology and social and political theory is to find new answers to the state of the epoch in which we find ourselves. This means addressing problems arising from the realm of human existence, whose solutions vary depending on the historical circumstances and cultures in which these issues arise. In this article, I attempt to outline possible responses to the aforementioned questions.
