Television Beyond and Across the Iron Curtain
From the mid-1950s onwards, the rise of television as a mass medium took place in many East and West European countries. As the most influential mass medium of the Cold War, television triggered new practices of consumption and media production, and of communication and exchange on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This volume leans on the long-neglected fact that, even during the Cold War era, television could easily become a cross-border matter. As such, it brings together transnational perspectives on convergence zones, observations, collaborations, circulations and interdependencies between Eastern and Western television. In particular, the authors provide empirical ground to include socia...
A History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe
A History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe is a two-volume project, authored by an international team of researchers, and offering the first-ever synthetic overview of the history of modern political thought in East Central Europe. Covering twenty national cultures and languages, the ensuing work goes beyond the conventional nation-centered narrative and offers a novel vision especially sensitive to the cross-cultural entanglement of discourses. Devising a regional perspective, the authors avoid projecting the Western European analytical and conceptual schemes on the whole continent, and develop instead new concepts, patterns of periodization and interpretative models. At t...
Osebnosti slovenske humanistike in družboslovja
V monografiji Osebnosti slovenske humanistike in družboslovja so se avtorji biografskih študij posvetili osebnostim različnih časovnih obdobij, ki so v okviru akademskih sredin bolj ali manj vidno, bolj ali manj odmevno ter bolj ali manj pomembno pojasnjevale in s tem sooblikovale družbeno stvarnost slovenskega prostora. V času hipnih in površnih odčitavanj stvarnosti, ki jih narekuje prehod družb v digitalnost, se zdi še zlasti smiselno izpostaviti naravo dela humanističnih in družboslovnih znanstvenikov, ki terja polno in počasno predanost načelom sistematičnosti, osredotočenosti, analitičnosti ter ločevanja bistvenega od množice motilcev pri motrenju hitro spreminjajočih se družbenih okoliščin. Kot je v recenziji zapisal zaslužni profesor ljubljanske univerze Boris A. Novak, meče tako knjiga novo luč na velikansko vednost in radovednost znanstvenic in znanstvenikov, ki so bistveno prispevali k višini in mednarodni relevantnosti slovenske humanistike in družboslovja v dramatičnem 20. stoletju ter našem napornem času, zato opravlja knjiga tudi pedagoško vlogo vzgajanja novih generacij raziskovalk in raziskovalcev.
Highlights in Anglo-American Drama
This volume represents perspectives on a number of aspects of modern Anglo-American drama and dramatists written by scholars from ex-Yugoslav republics, resulting from long years of common interest and cooperation in the field between the corresponding English Departments in the region. The volume was inspired by the Word across Cultures conference, organised by the Institute of Foreign Languages of the University of Montenegro in Podgorica, Montenegro, in July 2014. The researchers who participated in the conference’s literature section were testament to the growing interest in drama among regional literature scholars. The book will appeal to both an academic and non-academic readership. ...
Collectivistic Religions
Collectivistic Religions draws upon empirical studies of Christianity in Europe to address questions of religion and collective identity, religion and nationalism, religion and public life, and religion and conflict. It moves beyond the attempts to tackle such questions in terms of 'choice' and 'religious nationalism' by introducing the notion of 'collectivistic religions' to contemporary debates surrounding public religions. Using a comparison of several case studies, this book challenges the modernist bias in understanding of collectivistic religions as reducible to national identities. A significant contribution to both the study of religious change in contemporary Europe and the theoretical debates that surround religion and secularization, it will be of key interest to scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, political science, religious studies, and geography.
