Sažetak
The paper proceeds from a renewed reading of Viktor Tausk's writings in order to show that their significance exceeds the framework of the history of psychoanalysis. Tausk's insights into the influencing apparatus are interpreted within a broader theoretical horizon connecting psychoanalysis, Althusserian theory of ideological apparatuses and Lacanian analysis of fantasy, but within the more concrete context of Serbian society. Within this framework the apparatus is understood not merely as a technical or institutional mechanism, but as a structure that produces subjectivity, shapes desire, organizes fantasies and generates patterns of obedience. War traumas, desertion and "flight into illness," analyzed by Tausk, Ferenczi, Klein, Sugar, Fanon and Lacan, are not merely clinical phenomena, but also symptoms of the operation of a broader apparatus of power. State apparatuses not only produce psychic disorders, but institutionally recycle them, reproducing existing relations. Psychoanalysis therefore appears in a rift, functioning at once as part of the apparatus and as a subversive element. The analysis extends to contemporary political and social processes, particularly to the relation between militarization, state institutions and the production of the subject in semi-peripheral societies. In this sense, the return to Tausk does not represent merely a historical reconstruction of a forgotten author, but an attempt to understand the process of interpellation in which psychoanalysis, ideology and the political economy of the contemporary world are interwoven.
