Guest: Renata Salecl
Host: Filip Balunović
In the 25th episode of "Sound of Thought", the guest is Renata Salecl, a Slovenian philosopher from the University of Ljubljana and Birkbeck University in London. The immediate reason for the conversation is the Serbian edition of her book "The Passion for Ignorance" (2020), published by the Faculty of Media and Communications in Belgrade (2024). In this podcast, we dig into the realm of psychoanalysis, a central area of interest for our guest. Firstly, we explore what anxiety is, how it functions, and how it is influenced by certain social and ideological constructs. Starting from the book "On Anxiety", which Salecl published in 2004, her examination of this concept extends through her most famous book "The Tyranny of Choice", which analyzes and criticizes contemporary consumerist society. In this segment, we delve into the so-called "ideology of choice", which constrains us in the modern era rather than opening horizons and enabling genuine choice. Finally, we discuss the "passion for ignorance", debating the function of ignoring and denying, as well as alienation and the various dimensions of influence that contemporary society has on our psychological state.

Anksiozni subjekt potreban je savremenoj kapitalističkoj ideologiji
U 25. epizodi “Zvuka misli” gošća je Renata Salecl, slovenačka filozofkinja sa Univerziteta u Ljubljani i Birkbeck Univerziteta u Londonu. Neposredan povod za razgovor je srpsko izdanje njene knjige „Strast za neznanjem“ (2020), koja je izašla u izdanju Fakulteta za medije i komunikacije u Beogradu (2024). U ovom podcastu, krećemo se u ključu psihoanalize, centralnog područja interesovanja naše gošće. Pitamo se, najpre, šta je to anksioznost, kako ona funnkcioniše i kako na nju utiču određene društvene i ideološke postavke. Od knjige „O anksioznosti“, koju Salecl objavljuje još 2004. godine, njeno razmatranje ovog pojma proteže se i kroz njenu najpoznatiju knjigu „Tiranija izbora“, u kojoj je po sredi analiza i kritika savremenog konzumerističkog društva. U ovom segmentu, bavimo se takozvanom „ideologijom izbora“, koja nas u savremenom dobu sputava, pre nego što nam otvara horizonte i omogućava suštinski izbor. Na kraju, dolazimo i do „strasti za neznanjem“, u kom polemišemo o funkciji ignorisanja, odnosno poricanja, ali i o otuđenosti i različitim dimenzijama uticaja koje savremeno društvo ima na naše psihološko stanje.
