Pritom smo SC promatrali kao cjelinu, pri čemu je kultura jedan od segmenata u većoj strukturi, koju možemo nazvati pogonom; zanimalo nas u kojoj vezi su bile, jesu i mogu biti kulturna proizvodnja i studentski servisi (zapošljavanje, prehrana, smještaj). Smatramo da je upravo takav pogled na SC ono što nedostaje u posljednjih 20 godina i da se jedino kroz takvu prizmu može govoriti o očuvanju SC-a i kulture koju proizvodi kao javnog dobra.

Project For Student Centre as a Common Good focuses on the institution’s transition. In order to explore the potential strategies of resistance against the dominant discourse, which sees the transition from the concept of social ownership to the neoliberal capitalist model as the only possible future and, subsequently, against the quite probable privatization of SC, we have extended our research launched for UrbanFestival12. In our analysis, we have focused on the crucial years of 1991 and 2000, tracking the way in which the structures and conceptual-programmatic changes of the time have influenced the present-day situation. Thereby we have approached SC as a whole and culture as one of the many segments composing the larger structure, which may be considered as a machinery. Our aim has been to establish in what context the “student services” (jobs, alimentary subsidies, lodging) could be or actually are connected with cultural production. We are of the opinion that this sort of perspective on SC is what has been missing for the past 20 years and that it is only through this prism that one may speak of the preservation of SC and culture that it produces as a common good. This perspective has not been missing accidentally, but rather as a screen for disassembling SC as it was established in the socialist period, according to the same pattern that can be recognized in the systematic and intentional destruction of factories.
