In his foreword, Fe\u0111a Gavrilovi\u0107<\/strong> emphasizes:<\/p>\n

“Some of the figures in Pu\u0161enjak’s portraits are more familiar to us than others, yet each represents narratives we encounter through the internet, television, or newspapers. In all this, we are not merely passive spectators. One of the biggest tricks of civil society, an illusion that sustains it despite its many contradictions and injustices, is the illusion of choice given to its subjects. This manifests in democratic elections, where a political option is legitimised by a relative majority of votes, as well as in the (supposed) freedom of the press. In narratives surrounding those in power, play along, like spectators in an amphitheater or viewers of a Western, picking our heroes and villains and rooting for them. By reading left- or right-leaning publications, listening to podcasts, and reading books, we adopt the arguments of a particular stance and build our own ideological identities. We then attempt to defend those views when political debates move from parliamentary halls to our local caf\u00e9s. Yet all these conflicts are illusory, for, ultimately, decisions are made by those who hold real power in society, that is, those who control capital (or \u2013 the means of generating it).”<\/p>\n
