Abstract

U radu je prikazano na koji je način seksualna revolucija iz druge polovine 20. stoljeća utjecala na suvremenu kulturno- političku scenu. Seksualna je revolucija bila velik i važan dio kulturne promjene koja se tada događala, a kao glavni cilj imala je osloboditi ljudsku seksualnost i promijeniti dotadašnje prevladavajuće mišljenje o seksu prema kojemu je seks bio predodređen samo za reproduktivnu funkciju. U radu su prikazana djela autora koji su, na tragu Freudove teorije, utjecali na širenje ideje o važnosti oslobođene seksualnosti- Wilhelma Reicha i Herberta Marcusea. Uz to, u radu je naglasak stavljen i na kontra- kulturne pokrete koji su uvelike promijenili kulturno ozračje 60ih godina. U takvom je ozračju omogućen nastanak gej emancipacijskog pokreta i jačanje feminističkog političkog aktivizma koji je bio podijeljen oko rasprava o zabrani pornografije i objektivizacije ženskog tijela. Sve je to, u različitoj mjeri, utjecalo na promjene u liberalnim, lijevim političkim opcijama koje danas sve više mjesta u svojim programima rezerviraju za identitetsku politiku.

Abstract (english)

The paper shows how the sexual revolution from the second half of the 20th century influenced the contemporary cultural-political scene. The sexual revolution was a large and important part of the cultural change that was taking place at the time, and its main goal was to liberate human sexuality and change the previously prevailing opinion about sex, according to which sex was predetermined only for reproductive function. The paper presents the works of authors who, following Freud's theory, influenced the spread of the idea of the importance of liberated sexuality - Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse. In addition, the paper emphasizes the countercultural movements that greatly changed the cultural atmosphere of the 60s. In such an atmosphere, the emergence of the gay emancipation movement and the strengthening of feminist political activism, which was divided over the debates on the prohibition of pornography and the objectification of the female body, were made possible. All of this, to varying degrees, influenced changes in liberal, left-wing political options, which today reserve even more space in their programs for identity politics.
