Včasih sta se pogovarjali bolj na silo, drugič bolj po ovinkih. Na srečo vseh se nista veliko dogovorili. Strip kaže enega od takih dialogov. Ključne besede: Metelkova, bager, pogodba, legalno, red.

Kako delovati in osmišljati (svoj) svet v pogojih neoli­beralnega poblagovljenja časa, storitev, narave itd. v okolju, ki ga bistveno določajo dejavnosti kreativnih industrij in pospešen umik države, ki prodaja javno dobro in storitve. Ali lahko ugotovimo, da se v kulturni ekonomiji Metelkove zgolj podvaja nacionalni vzorec, ne razvija pa se nek avtonomni model. Pri tem je treba jasno razlikovati med neodvisno in avtonomno kulturo in spremljati vidike pojavnosti ene in druge v AKC Metelkova mesto. Temeljno vprašanje je, kako drugačen produkcijski odnos, ki je holističen na ome­jenem teritoriju, vključiti v vsakokratni pravni red tako, da ne bi določal pogojev drugačnega produkcijskega procesa. Ključne besede: avtonomija, avtentičnost, neodvi­snost, alternativa, subkultura. Neven Korda Andrič je univerzitetni diplomirani soci­olog, intermedijski umetnik, videast, in režiser.

Pri preučevanju različnih pristopov in pojmovanj neposredne demokracije, ki so se pojavljali v protestih, nastaja potreba po jasni zamejitvi polja neposredne demokracije. Izhodišče kakršnekoli razprave o tej tema­tiki mora biti usmerjeno v širjene temeljnih človekovih pravic, samo neposredno soodločanje pa moramo iskati in razvijati v posvetovalnih (deliberativnih) oblikah v po­sameznih skupnostih. AKC Metelkova mesto je primer skupnosti, ki razvija in uporablja določene elemente neposrednega soodločanja in zato je pomemben politi­čen eksperiment ter področje raziskovanja. Metelkova mesto je samonikel eksperiment neposrednega soodlo­čanja, ki nam kaže, da so načela neposredne demokra­cije dosegljiva realnost.

Occasionally, this dialogue was more stressed, and sometimes it was covered in layers of ambiguity. The discussions between the representatives of ACC Metelkova City and the authorities did not always end with a clear, precise and straightforward conclusion.

(tomaz.furlan@yahoo.com) 116–129 Neven korda andrič a view From my Balcony The article identifies the differences between that which produces normality and is destructive to the otherness, and that which deconstructs the former and produces the latter in the case of Autonomous Cultural Center Metelkova City. It also delves into the question how to act upon and make (our) world mea­ningful under the conditions of the present neoliberal market-oriented time and services, and in the era that is essentially characterized by the creative industries and hastened withdrawal of the state from the public sphere. Is it possible in this context to recognize the cultural economy of ACC Metelkova City as merely a duplication of the socially dominant production mode that in effect prevents any autonomous model to evolve? The premise of the article is that we have to clearly differentiate between independent culture and autonomous culture, and monitor both at ACC Metelkova City. The fundamental question is how to incorporate holistic relations of productions within a limited territory into a respective legal order that would not determine the conditions of different pro­duction processes itself. Keywords: autonomy, authentic, independent, alter­native, subculture Neven Korda Andrič holds a BA in social sciences. He is an inter-media artist, video maker and director.

In the context of very different approaches and conceptions of direct democra­cy that have appeared within the protest movement, the need for outlining the field of direct democracy arose as a matter of political necessity. The article argues that any discussion on this topic should be based on the per­spective of broadening the sphere of basic human rights. Thus we need to pursue and develop direct co-decision­-making through deliberative forms inside particular communities. ACC Metelkova City is an example of a political community that develops and applies certain elements of direct participation and represents an impor­tant political experiment, as well as object of research.
