Katerina "Katarina" [1] Kolozova ( /koʊˈlɒzoʊvə/; Macedonian: Катерина (Катарина) Колозова; born on October 20,1969 is a Macedonian academic, author and philosopher.
She is a director of and professor of gender studies and philosophy at the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, [2] Skopje and a professor of the University American College Skopje, both in Skopje, North Macedonia. [3] [4] She has been associated with speculative realism [5] and has written about the non-philosophy of François Laruelle and the works of Karl Marx. [6] She has been a member of the Organisation Non-Philosophique Internationale (International Organization of Non-Philosophy), [7] with headquarters in Paris, France, since it was founded. [8] She is a board member of The New Centre for Research & Practice of Grand Rapids, Michigan. [9] Since 2021, Kolozova has been appointed Visiting Faculty at the Center for Philosophical Technologies [10] at Arizona State University. She was a visiting scholar at the Department of Rhetoric at the University of California-Berkeley. Kolozova was a visiting professor at the University of Sarajevo and the University of Sofia. [11] She is a visiting professor at the Political Studies Department of the Faculty of Media and Communications Singidunum University in Belgrade. [12] In February 2022 (updated in February 2023), Kolozova was ranked #14 of the 25 most influential women in philosophy according to Academic Influence in the past 10 years. [13]
Her teaching career started at her Alma Mater Ss Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje (ISPPI) as a graduate level Assistant professor in gender and communications studies (first appointment in the academic year of 1999-2000. She defended her PhD The Hellens and Death when she was only 28 years old (April 1998). [14]
She defended her PhD at the Faculty of Philosophy Skopje Ss Cyril and Methodius University in 1998, while her doctoral research entailed co-supervised work abroad with Jean Pierre Vernant in Paris (EHESS: Centre Louis Gernet) for which she earned a scholarship from the French Ministry of foreign affairs, ISH Ljubljana co-supervised by Svetlana Slapasak. [15] [16] The international dimension of her PhD research entailed a year-long fellowship at the Gender Studies Department at the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest (now in Vienna), in the form of "Doctoral Support Program" for which she earned a full scholarship and a stipend from CEU. [17][ circular reference] In 2009, Kolozova was a visiting/scholar (post-doc with a Fulbright scholarship) at UC-Berkeley working under the peer supervision of Judith Butler [18]
Kolozova is one of the public figures who strive to improve the relations between Bulgaria and North Macedonia. [19] She is a member of the Friendship Club between the two countries. [20] Kolozova maintains North Macedonia lacks political will to improve the relationships between the two states, [21] but the Bulgarian side attaches too much importance to issue of the common history as a condition for improving the relations. [22] [23] Her understandings on that issue, aren't well received in North Macedonia. [24] [25]
Her monograph Cut of the Real: Subjectivity in Poststructuralist Philosophy published with Columbia University Press, 2014 (2nd edition 2018) [26] is a provocation to the poststructuralist paradigm in feminist philosophy, seeking to vindicate the relevance of the notions of the "One" (versus subjectivity understood as flux of multiplicity of subject and identity positions), the Real (versus discursive construct treated as fiction), arguing for repositioning of third wave feminism, or at least aspects of it, in a new form of realism, often associated with speculative realism. [27] [28] [29] The book has had some notable traction, which amounted to the invitation to Kolozova to author the chapter on Poststructuralism in the first in over 20 years Oxford Handbook of Feminist Philosophy (published in 2021).
