The Great War and Memory in Central and South-Eastern Europe
A new, nuanced and revelatory account of the war waged as a revenge campaign against culturally “inferior” peoples of the Balkans.
The Land Between
"This is a history of a space - a space between the Panonian plain in the East and the most northernmost bay in the Adriatic in the West, from the eastern Alps in the North and the Dinaridic mountain area in the South. It is also a history of all the different people who lived in this area. The authors show that the Slavs did not settle an empty space and simply replace the Celto-Roman inhabitants of earlier times; they are, on the contrary, presented as the result of reciprocal acculturation. The authors show that the Slovenes made more than two important appearances throughout the entire feudal era; the same holds for later periods, especially for the twentieth century. This book offers a concise and complete history of an area that finally became an integral part of Central Europe and the Balkans."--Pub. desc.
Jerusalem in Slavic Culture
V knjigi so zbrani prispevki z dveh mednarodnih konferenc, od katerih je eno organiziral ZRC SAZU septembra 1998 v Ljubljani. Zbornik je razdeljen na pet delov. V prvem z naslovom »Jeruzalem znotraj krščanske in občeslovanske tradicije« sodelujejo O. Belova, I. Kazovskaya, J. Krašovec, S. Tolstaya in E. Vereshchagin. V drugem »Jeruzalem in svet južnih Slovanov in Judov« so avtorji M. Frejdenberg, E. Holz, V. Nartnik, M. Nosić, D. Poniž, F. Premk, J. Rotar in Z. Šmitek.

The Memory of Guilt Revisited
The collapse of the communist states is regarded as the starting point of the new Europe. With this turning point, historical narratives have had to be rewritten in the post-socialist countries. Focusing on the little known case of Slovenia, this issue of zeitgeschichte offers a comprehensive survey of the transformations affecting collective memory and the writing of history in one post-communist country. The essays analyze the ways in which Slovenian society has grappled with traumatic historical events and thus give insight into the ongoing struggle over the interpretation of Slovenia's past. Given the proliferating illiberal tendencies in the political culture of numerous European countries, the strategies of historical revisionism described in this issue are likely to be of considerable interest not only to scholars interested specifically in the case of Slovenia.
Of Red Dragons and Evil Spirits
The collection of well-researched essays assesses the uses and misuses of history 25 years after the collapse of Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe. As opposed to the revival of national histories that seemed to be the prevailing historiographical approach of the 1990s, the last decade has seen a particular set of narratives equating Nazism and Communism. This provides opportunities to exonerate wartime collaboration, casting the nation as victim even when its government was allied with Germany. While the Jewish Holocaust is acknowledged, its meaning and significance are obfuscated. In their comparative analysis the authors are also interested in new practices of ?Europeanness?. Therefore the...
Ugrabljena ljubezen / Oteta ljubav / Abducted Love
Prispevki v knjigi tematizirajo ljubezen do domovine pri posameznikih in skupinah, ki ne ustrezajo prevladujočem pojmovanju domoljuba, zaradi česar se jim simbolno odvzame pravica do ljubezni do domovine. Avtorji obravnavajo ljubezen do domovin/e pri izseljencih, priseljencih, pripadnikih etničnih in spolnih manjšin, otrocih iz mešanih zakonov, anarhistih ter družbenih kritikih in aktivistih. Tako avtorji prispevkov kot njihovi akterji se zavzemajo za razumevanje in prakticiranje kritičnega domoljubja, za držo, ki jo najbolje povzemajo besede »misli s svojo glavo«
Historični seminar
Knjiga je zbornik štirinajstih izbranih besedil razprav, ki so jih v obliki predavanj na seminarju predstavili domači tuji avtorji. Zbornik je razdeljen na dva dela. Prvi je posvečen teoretskim vprašanjem zgodovinopisja, med katerimi so v ospredju odnos kulturne in totalne zgodovine, problem opredelitve pojma mikrozgodovine in spremembe v razumevanju historične antropologije. V drugem delu pa se avtorji lotevajo različnih konkretnih zgodovinskih tem ali dogajanj, pri čemer posebej izstopajo tiste, ki navadno niso deležne večje pozornosti zgodovinarjev, kakor npr. zgodovina loterije in iger na srečo ali spolno obnašanje neporočenih v kmečki družbi okrog leta 1800. Knjigo posebej bogati interdisciplinarno povezovanje, saj so svoje poglede na zgodovino prispevali tudi pisci s področja sociologije in etnologije.
To Walk with the Devil
Examining archival material and post-war scholarly and popular literature, Kranjc describes the often sharp divide between Communist-era interpretations of collaboration and those of their émigré anti-Communist opponents.
Understanding Multiculturalism
Multiculturalism has long been linked to calls for tolerance of cultural diversity, but today many observers are subjecting the concept to close scrutiny. After the political upheavals of 1968, the commitment to multiculturalism was perceived as a liberal manifesto, but in the post-9/11 era, it is under attack for its relativizing, particularist, and essentializing implications. The essays in this collection offer a nuanced analysis of the multifaceted cultural experience of Central Europe under the late Habsburg monarchy and beyond. The authors examine how culturally coded social spaces can be described and understood historically without adopting categories formerly employed to justify the definition and separation of groups into nations, ethnicities, or homogeneous cultures. As we consider the issues of multiculturalism today, this volume offers new approaches to understanding multiculturalism in Central Europe freed of the effects of politically exploited concepts of social spaces.
Jews and Anti-Semitism in the Balkans
Knjiga prinaša osem prispevkov z mednarodne konference Jews and Anti-semitism in the Balkans (Judje in antisemitizem na Balkanu), ki je potekala na Bledu od 20. do 24. oktobra 2002. Avtorji tematizirajo vrsto socialnih aspektov sodobnega antisemitizma. Večinoma se osredotočajo na detajlne zgodovinske orise in analize aktualne situacije Judov in javnega, državnega in stereotipnega antisemitizma znotraj nacionalnih okvirov držav na Balkanu. Zlasti podrobno je obdelan čas po padcu komunističnih režimov.
