Abstract
We have analised text of Igor Štiks and Srećko Horvat on 2009 students’ revolts on numerous Croatian universities. They understand those revolts as an ‘Event’ and argue that – after that ‘Event’ – nothing in Croatia will be the same. They say that students’ revolts managed to create a subject (students, workers, peasants) and that subject will change Croatian neo-liberal everyday life. We argued that no such subject was created, that students’ revolts did not result in any radicalisation of workers resistance, and that there is no occupying of factories in Croatia following the Argentinean model. But, we emphasize that students’ revolts do have one very worthy value – students succeeded to recognize their interests, to articulate them, to ask for them publicly and persist in their demands for a respectable period of time.
