THE NORMAL ABNORMAL

Temeljna preokupacija Daga Strpića jest teorijska paradigma razumijevanja modernoga – i to u smislu Marxova projekta kritike političke ekonomije. Žarišna točka njegove argumentacije jest teorija radne vrijednosti, čije bi kompleksno shvaćanje trebalo zadobiti status jezgre “opće teorije” modernoga društva. Marksistička politička ekonomija insistirala je na neposrednoj tržišnoj primjeni Marxove teorije vrijednosti i neizravno pokazala da je u tom operativnom smislu ta teorija neupotrebljiva. Međutim pritom je u doktrinarnim verzijama “ekonomike” izbačena i teorija vrijednosti i cjelokupni korpus Marxove kritike. Nasuprot poplavi ideologizirane praktičko-normativne razrade doktrine samoupravnog udruživanja rada, u vrijeme njezine neprikosnovene dominacije, Strpić je jasno razaznao da je riječ o magistralnom smjeru epohalne društvene, ekonomske i napose tehnologijske i komunikacijske transformacije koji je uočljiv u svjetskim relacijama. No za njega je bitno teorijsko pitanje bilo na temelju kakvih se zakonitosti procesi podruštvljivanja i udruživanja realno odvijaju. Glede toga danas je uputno upozoriti na paradigmatsku promjenu koju Negri vidi u tendencijskoj hegemoniji nematerijalnog rada iz koje proizlazi nužnost da se omeđi politički jezik prijelaza od modernosti k postmodernosti u analizama političke znanosti i filozofije.The central preoccupation of Dag Strpić is the theoretical paradigm of understanding modernity – specifically, in the sense of Marx’s project of political economy critique. The focal point of his line of argument is the theory of labour value: a complex perception thereof should acquire core status within the “general theory” of modern society. Marxist political economy insisted on an immediate market application of Marx’s value theory, and it showed indirectly that the theory was operatively inapplicable. At the same time, however, in doctrinaire versions of “economics” both the value theory and the entire corps of Marx’s critique were dropped out. In opposition to the profuse ideologized practical-normative elaboration of the doctrine of self-administrative association of labour, at the time of its uncontested domination, Strpić clearly discerned that we are dealing with the principal orientation of the epochal social, economic and, above all, technological and communicational transformation which can be observed in global relations. But for him the essential theoretical question had to do with the underlying principles of the actual unfolding of the processes of socialization and association. In this respect, it is fitting at present to point to the paradigmatic change which Negri perceives in the tendential hegemony of non-material labour, resulting in the necessity to circumscribe the political language of transfer from modernity to postmodernity in the analyses of political science and philosophy
