POLITICAL-SCIENCE ANTIBARBARUS II. ON THE PROSECUTION-LOVING - DISCOURSE OF “PURE” POLITICAL SCIENCE
Dragutin Lalović
; Fakultet političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska
Sažetak
The author takes issue with the quasi-scientific ideological manifesto that M.
Kasapović presented to the political-science community in her “revisionist
text”, as she herself characterized it, entitled “Leaving the Plural? The End
of Internal Colonisation of Croatian Political Science?” (2007). “Leaving
the Plural?” is the introductory and pivotal text in a collection encompassing
works by a group of political scientists, which proffers a peculiar view on “the
history and state of Croatian political science”. In the first part of this article,
published in the 2009 issue of Annals of the Croatian Political Science Association,
the author’s minute analysis unequivocally demonstrated that M.
Kasapović’s belligerent manifesto, which does not meet even the minimal
professional standards, is an arrogant amalgam of inequity and incomprehension,
as well as an implacable attack on the Faculty of Political Science, its
professors and its entire history. Here in the second part of the article the author
first provides a brief review of a text which is part of M. Kasapović’s
recent scientific production, with the aim of showing that the failure to meet
the requirements of standard political-science discourse in “Leaving the Plural?”
was not an exception. In the final section, the author reflects on the
meaning and purpose of the accusations and personal slander contained in M.
Kasapović’s defamatory text “Drifting Duo” (2008). In his judgement, the latter
text disregards the basic rules of academic communication and is in itself
a barbarisation of Croatian political science.
