“Punk is a Symptom”: Intersections of Philosophy and Alternative Culture in the 80’s Slovenia

Sažetak
All over Former Yugoslavia the eighties were marked by an appearance of a great number of new alternative culture movements, while at the same time significant new ideas were introduced in the field of philosophy and theory in general. The proposed paper focuses on a particular example of dialogue between theory and culture in this period: on the three special issues of the journal Problemi in 1981, 1982 and 1983 that were dedicated to the punk movement, i.e. the so-called Punk Problemi. It begins by analyzing the editorial to the first of these three issues, and its alleged “agreement” with the thesis that punk should be viewed as a symptom. The discrepancy between the critics of punk and the viewpoint of the editorship of the Problemi and their contributors is further explored through the analysis of the articles published in the three special editions. Finally the Punk Problemi are juxtaposed to developments in theory in the early eighties, especially the works on the theory of ideology, i.e. Mladen Dolar’s texts on fascism.
