Synthesis and fragmentation in social theory: a progressive solution

by John Holmwood

Postmodern claims for the lack of general coherence in social life and therefore in social research are merely a... more Postmodern claims for the lack of general coherence in social life and therefore in social research are merely a version of recurrent attempts to accept incoherence as adequate in explanations. Incoherence, however, is less sharply distinguishedfrom the synthetic and generalizing theories that it is held to have replaced than its proponents and critics suppose. Generalizing approaches, in fact, were built around contradictions
that contributed to their instability and facilitated postmodern fragmentation. In this paper we demonstrate the central contradictions in social theory, showing their common occurrence in apparently opposed positions. Both postmodernism and what it seeks to replace are features of a conservative and unproductive social science. We trace the
contradictory continuities through major modern schools of social theory in order to clear the ground for a progressive social science which accepts contradictions as problems that must be solved creatively in the practice of social research.

The identity of photography: Exploring realism in photojournalism

This article will discuss the many aspects of photojournalism that shape and manipulate the current status of photography. Its origin as a means of objective documentation will be critically analysed in relation to its uses in war photography, political agendas and propaganda. The theories of Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes, among others, will be drawn on to evaluate the extent to which photography is autonomous, changing and transforming depending on how it is employed. The conclusions drawn from the research show how photography has become a malleable artefact, capable of changing its identity in a post-modern context, and thus posing challenges for our concept of reality.

su ga na različite načine rješavali, tumačili, a ponekad i potpuno napuštali. Spomenutim umjetnicima svojstven je prije svega odmak od svake ekspresivnosti, odnosno od onih tendencija koje su u skulpturi vidjele prije svega skriveni život unutraπnje forme čije se granice podudaraju s tzv. unutarnjim i emocionalno izražajnim životom neke umjetničke osobnosti.

The majority of young Croatian sculptors at a certain point began to question the medium of sculpture as a means of artistic
expression. They solved and interpreted this medium in various ways, sometimes abandoning it altogether. The artists mentioned
in this article are specific in the first place because of their detachment from all expressivity, that is, from those tendencies that view sculpture primarily as the secret life of an inner form, the boundaries of which coincide with the so-called inner and
emotionally expressive life of some artistic personality
