It was held from 2013 to 2015 on the ‘interstitial territory’ of three European, more precisely European Union, countries (Italy, Slovenia and Croatia). Carried out by three leading in- stitutions, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rije- ka, Croatia, the Municipal Museum in Idrija, Slovenia, and Tri- este Contemporanea, in Italy,1 the topic of the project was a 1 Curators: Sabina critical historical connection between them – smuggling. The Salamon, Marija Terpin territory under consideration was economically, legally and Mlinar and Giuliana Carbi. politically disjointed for about half of the twentieth century, which meant that quite often ordinary contact was strictly for- bidden, controlled, prevented, and punished. Still, contact and exchange persisted, immediately after it was forbidden. In the following introduction, I will elaborate on the topic of border-crossing in the physical sense, and then define bor- der crossing in alternative ways. First I explore the idea of ‘porous territory,’ a territorial history treated as non-existent, obscured, yet not forgotten, one that urged re-naming in order to handle any real and present narratives at all. In the follow- ing section I will try to provide another interpretation of smug- gling, a reading of the politically subconscious present, expe- rienced not only in the smuggling of objects of desire, such as jeans (as well as goods that are far less legal), but also of smug- gling as a form of transgression. I refer to the notion of break- ing the physical body, and its regulation by the state as a kind of macro-body. I will proceed to relate notions of contamina- tion to the idea smuggling, and finally I examine the narrative of the smuggler as anti-hero. So, let us see what is the point of the border and its various crossings. Given potential future use of this project and reader, as its editor I found it useful to underscore three points in the or- ganisation of chapters and subsequent reading offered in sep- arate bibliographies at the end of the book. The first is the smuggling of ideas that can ‘contaminate’ politics and cultural discourses, which arrive as a by-product of smuggled goods, the second is the notion of hidden geographies, secret, illegal 17 or mythical, and the third is the ideal of the desirable Other, blamed yet wanted, the anti-hero smuggler. So, this reader is divided into three sections, entitled, “Smuggling Ideas”, “Territory Smuggled” and “To Smuggle vs. To Be Smuggled.” Mythogeographies 2 A term coined by Phil In order to better define the border under our consideration, Smith and explained in his I would like to introduce the neologism ‘mythogeography’ Manifesto, http://www.the idioticon.com/uploads/ which refers to shifting multiple and simultaneous interpre- 1/4/0/0/14002490/mytho tations of space.

  • The Founder of the Ljubljana Festival Is the City of Ljubljana the Patron
    The Founder of the Ljubljana Festival is the City of Ljubljana The Patron of the 2019 Ljubljana Festival is the Mayor of the City of Ljubljana, Mr Zoran Janković. PRESS RELEASE Ljubljana, May 2019 LJUBLJANA FESTIVAL – CULTURAL HUB AT THE HEART OF YOUR SUMMER CULTURAL EXPERIENCE Every summer the Ljubljana Festival makes an important contribution to the cultural life of Ljubljana with a carefully selected programme covering a wide variety of genres. Today’s press conference in the Red Hall at Ljubljana Town Hall served to present this year’s 67th Ljubljana Festival, which will run from July until September. Once again the festival will feature ballet and opera performances, musicals, chamber and symphonic concerts, the International Fine Arts Colony, workshops for children and young people, the Ljubljana Festival on the Ljubljanica, and much more. Even before the official start of the festival, you will have the unique opportunity to hear Verdi’s Requiem conducted by the great Plácido Domingo, in his first appearance as a conductor in Slovenia. This pre-festival event will be followed at beginning of July by the most eagerly awaited cultural event of the year: the opening of the 67th Ljubljana Festival, which gets under way with Aida, one of the best known and most frequently performed operas not only of Verdi's oeuvre, but in the entire history of opera. Director Dražen Siriščević’s imaginative staging will make the most of the outdoor setting and the opera will include an appearance by thoroughbred Lipizzaner horses from the stud farm in Lipica. The events of the Ljubljana Festival take place throughout the summer and Slovenia’s capital will continue to welcome some of the biggest names in music – performers of worldwide renown – right up until September.

    How Euler Did It by Ed Sandifer Estimating π February 2009 On Friday, June 7, 1779, Leonhard Euler sent a paper [E705] to the regular twice-weekly meeting of the St. Petersburg Academy. Euler, blind and disillusioned with the corruption of Domaschneff, the President of the Academy, seldom attended the meetings himself, so he sent one of his assistants, Nicolas Fuss, to read the paper to the ten members of the Academy who attended the meeting. The paper bore the cumbersome title "Investigatio quarundam serierum quae ad rationem peripheriae circuli ad diametrum vero proxime definiendam maxime sunt accommodatae" (Investigation of certain series which are designed to approximate the true ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter very closely." Up to this point, Euler had shown relatively little interest in the value of π, though he had standardized its notation, using the symbol π to denote the ratio of a circumference to a diameter consistently since 1736, and he found π in a great many places outside circles. In a paper he wrote in 1737, [E74] Euler surveyed the history of calculating the value of π. He mentioned Archimedes, Machin, de Lagny, Leibniz and Sharp. The main result in E74 was to discover a number of arctangent identities along the lines of ! 1 1 1 = 4 arctan " arctan + arctan 4 5 70 99 and to propose using the Taylor series expansion for the arctangent function, which converges fairly rapidly for small values, to approximate π. Euler also spent some time in that paper finding ways to approximate the logarithms of trigonometric functions, important at the time in navigation tables.

    Ob približevanju poletju 2021 nisem bil optimist, saj epidemija še ni popustila. Poleg zdravstvenih ukrepov nas je prizadel tudi zgodovinsko velik, večmilijonski izpad prihodkov v občinskem proračunu. A na Goriškem se ne damo. Ponovno smo se združili kulturna in umetniška društva, ustanove, organizacije, zavodi, posamezniki. Zelo sem zadovoljen, da sodeluje tudi podeželje. Na pomoč so pristopila lokalna turistična društva, krajevne skupnosti, ansambli, pevski zbori, gostinci in celo podjetja. Tako se bo poletje v mestni občini odvijalo z bogatim dogajanjem.

La Grande Guerra si è conclusa, ma i trattati per la pace non diminuiscono le disparità economiche preesistenti tra gli Stati. La storiografia dell’epoca riconosce che proprio in quei patti vi è la genesi del secondo conflitto mondiale. Nonostante da più parti si invochi la pace e si confidi nelle capacità diplomatiche per risolvere le crisi tra gli stati, sul territorio europeo tutte le nazioni rafforzano e completano i propri sistemi difensivi di confine. Inoltre, coscienti che l’arma aerea, già usata durante il primo conflitto, potrebbe trasformare le città in campi di battaglia, si impongono provvedimenti per la protezione collettiva della popolazione civile delle grandi città e dei centri vitali. La guerra chimica è definita “arte demoniaca dei veleni sottili e silenziosi” (Djalma Juretigh 1932).

Apart from its indispensable role in everyday life, its long-term impact on society and the environment increasingly calls for attention. Functional, quality and professional transport management determines the development path both of the region and the State. Hence the project ‘Expert guidelines for the regulation of regional public transport’ is an excellent foundation for the regulation and establishment of quality public passenger transport on the principles of sustainable mobility by 2027. At the Municipality of Ljubljana we have set out a long-term programme for public transport and designed activities needed for its implementation. What are the most important projects through which we wish to achieve greater efficiency and safety in public transport, and the use of alternative fuels, as well as encourage cycling and walking? · By closing the city centre to traffic, newly re-designed public spaces such as Prešeren Square (Prešernov trg) and the Three Bridges (Tromostovje), Ciril-Metod Square (Ciril Metodov trg), Breg, Krakovo Embankment (Krakovski nasip), Špica and Trnovo Quay (Trnovski pristan) are intended for pedestrians and cyclists.
