Go Girls!
Go Girls! When Slovenian Women Left Home is not about researching and writing only about female emigration, some kind of "women's migration", but is among other things focused on understanding the complexity, multi-facetedness and of course the multi-gendered aspect of migrations. This can only be done by focusing on a missing but constitutive part of migration processes - the migration of women. Therefore, to "make visible" that which was, as the title of one of the most famous feminist books says, "hidden from history", or in the words of the best-known Slovenian researcher of "women's history", to "write women" into the body of knowledge on migration and into knowledge in general. This "writing of women", must not be just a matter of supplementing and placing into context previously overlooked events, phenomena, and occurrences, but in fact must be a project of critically sifting through the entire body of migration studies and thereby reproducing gender-determined knowledge.

Reality and Truth in Literature
This study provides a critical survey of views on reality and truth in the realm of philosophy and literary theory. Its aim is to show how important it is to focus our critical attention on literature itself as a way of conveying a general view of totality of things, with special attention to human life and death, effort and suffering, success and failure. A work of literature and art does not characterize experience and knowledge as such, but rather the response of concrete characters to the problems of human existence and fate. The monograph deals with pre-modern philosophical reflection on reality and truth, with post-modern ways of representation of reality in myth, history, biography, autobiography and fiction, and with sublime perceptions of beauty, love and forgiveness. The views of the writers show that there are important differences in presenting reality and truth in relation to material and historical facts. But the most important distinction is in dealing with dimensions of true life of human persons in their ineffable feelings and ideas.
No Neighbors’ Lands in Postwar Europe
This book focuses on the social voids that were the result of occupation, genocide, mass killings, and population movements in Europe during and after the Second World War. Historians, sociologists, and anthropologists adopt comparative perspectives on those who now lived in ‘cleansed’ borderlands. Its contributors explore local subjectivities of social change through the concept of ‘No Neighbors’ Lands’: How does it feel to wear the dress of your murdered neighbor? How does one get used to friends, colleagues, and neighbors no longer being part of everyday life? How is moral, social, and legal order reinstated after one part of the community participated in the ethnic cleansing of another? How is order restored psychologically in the wake of neighbors watching others being slaughtered by external enemies? This book sheds light on how destroyed European communities, once multi-ethnic and multi-religious, experienced postwar reconstruction, attempted to come to terms with what had happened, and negotiated remembrance.

Post-Socialist Translation Practices
The book Post-Socialist Translation Practices explores how Communism and Socialism, through their hegemonic pressure, found expression in translation practice from the moment of Socialist revolution to the present day. Based on extensive archival research in the archives of the Communist Party and on the interviews with translators and editors of the period the book attempts to outline the typical and defining features of the Socialist translatorial behaviour by re-reading more than 200 translations of children's literature and juvenile fiction published in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Despite the variety of different forms of censorship that the translators in all Socialist states were subject to, the book argues that Socialist translation in different cultural and linguistic environments, especially where the Soviet model tried to impose itself, purged the translated texts of the same or similar elements, in particular of the religious presence. The book also traces how ideologically manipulated translations are still uncritically reprinted and widely circulated today.
Great Immortality
Winner of the Excellence Award for Collaborative Research granted by the European Society of Comparative Literature (ESCL) In Great Immortality, twenty scholars from considerably different cultural backgrounds explore the ways in which certain poets, writers, and artists in Europe have become major figures of cultural memory. Through individual case studies, many of the contributors expand and challenge the concepts of cultural sainthood and canonization as developed by Marijan Dović and Jón Karl Helgason in National Poets, Cultural Saints: Canonization and Commemorative Cults of Writers in Europe (Brill, 2017). Even though the major focus of the book is the nineteenth-century cults of nat...
The Effects of Historical German-Slovene Language Contact on the Slovene Language
Slovene has been in contact with German for approximately a millennium and a half. During this time, this contact has been realized through geographical proximity, social contact with German (through the church, education, etc.), German enclaves in Slovene ethnic territory, and widespread bilingualism in Slovenia.

Jeziki, identitete, pripadnosti med središči in obrobji
Zbornik se sooča s temeljnimi vprašanji (samo)razumevanja narodov, etničnih in jezikovnih skupnosti v daljši historični perspektivi, in sicer od konca srednjega veka pa do današnjega časa. Problemsko segajo prispevki tudi po reartikulaciji omenjenih tematskih polj, ki bistveno sooblikujejo našo vizijo prihodnosti. Mednarodni simpozij je bil zamišljen kot srečanje in dopolnjevanje spoznanj ter izkušenj številnih avtorjev različnih humanističnih in družboslovnih ved. S svojimi prispevki v zborniku sodelujejo Igor Grdina, France Bernik, Janko Kos, Emidio Campi, Jan Andrea Bernhard, Erich Bryner, Marko Kerševan, Jonatan Vinkler, Kozma Ahačič, Miroslav Hroch, Peter Zajac, Oto Luthar, Wolf Moskovich, Heidemarie Uhl, András Gerő, Roman Holec, Rudolf Chmel, Stane Granda, Michal Stehlík, Marta Verginella, Kornelijus Platelis, Andrej Rozman, Tatjana Čepelevska in Nadežda N.
