AB  - This paper investigates the development of Belgrade public transport system, and issues arising therefrom, through the lens of two concepts developed by scholars from the field of science, technology, and society: relevant social groups and sociotechnical imaginaries. Both concepts were conceived in order to explain and adequately theorize ways in which society and technology shape each other, with special emphasis on the political aspects of this process. Rather than trying to explain the entire history of the system, the paper will focus on several points of controversy during the 20th and 21st centuries. The main aim of the paper is to show, through these examples, that the proposed conceptual framework could be useful for understanding complex sociotechnical systems such as public transport.

AB  - The Culture series created by Scottish author Iain (M.) Banks con-sists of nine novels, one novella and a couple of short stories situated in the same fictional universe. The eponymous Culture is a space-faring (and space-dwelling) civilization, a conglomeration of several humanoid species and sentient machines, most intellectually powerful beings called The Minds. Technological advances made the Culture a post-scarcity society focused on the maximization of personal freedom. The character of its socio-political structure, however, is somewhat unclear. Based on the differences between its internal and external politics, scholars have mostly placed the Culture within the categories of Utopia and Empire. This is, as the present paper argues, a false dilemma since the Culture is simultaneously both and neither of those. The main argument is that the truly adequate label for the political complexities of the Culture civilization was coined only after the untimely death of the author himself – around 2015, when the far (or, some would say, radical) left activists on the Internet coined the phrase Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism. Using both writings of Marx and Engels on the features of communism and Ollman’s systematization of these features, I will try to show that this is indeed the case.
