STATE AS A FRATERNAL COMMUNITY: Desire for Community without Community
ANKICA ČAKARDIĆ
Abstract
It can be presumed that the state as a fraternal community arises as the result of the formation of the system of the modern state, liberalism and neoliberalism. By emphasizing the imporatance of separating the private (societal-economic) from the public (state-political), the basis for a threefold possibility of female alienation is established. The first alienation is made evident by her queer emergence from the sphere of the private (a free market society) and the second one comes with her artificial entrance into the public sphere, where she assumes the established models of behaviour of a patriarchally structured society/state. Finally, women in the sphere of the families are placed in a pre-private area which is not as yet a part of the private sector of society. With the creation of a modern superstate as an internationally globalized public community, the possibility for the threefold alienation of women is set into place. Seeing as the private, state and superstate communities jointly reproduce alienation, it becomes more than necessary to search for a solution to alienation similar to Nietzsche's bizarre aspiration of Community without community. Critiques of the value system as well as a general critique of the structure of the modern state are vital steps in the proposition of the possibility of a non-patriarchal community.
