Jernej Mlekuž GO-GO GIRLS? No, no. The girls who have left the area of present-day Slovenia for cen- turies have not, at least in large numbers, worked as go-go dancers. Well, at any rate, to researchers of “Slovenian emigration”, as this nationally constitu- tive subject, dedicated to “Slovenian manners and matters”, is unfortunately labelled, Slovenian emigrant go-go girls are unknown. We probably wouldn’t find many of them in other unsavoury profes- sions which Slovenian emigrant women (and of course also men) were warned about by church men. Three such men, discussed among other mat- ters by Marjan Drnovšek in the chapter entitled “History and Concealment” – in a sort of kaleidoscopic exploration of the history of the emigration of women from the territory of present-day Slovenia and the history of Slov- enian emigrant women – issued a warning in a booklet entitled Če greš na tuje (If You Go Abroad), published in 1934, in a special chapter entitled “For Slovenian Girls”: “Slovenian girls, stay at home! But if you do leave, do not bring shame to your homeland and your nation.” And how were “Slovenian girls” supposed to avoid this shame? How else but through faith, church at- tendance, reading religious periodicals, staying in contact with their parents, and avoiding contact with men. In short, by avoiding immoral acts which would infect their soul and their blood: “Protect yourself against immorality! […] Think of the terrible diseases with which you can poison your blood as the consequence of such a life.”1 1 It was and is not only the Catholic Church that alluded to and continues to allude to such “immoral acts”. Marjan Tomšič, a modern Slovenian writer, in his novel Grenko morje. Ro- man o aleksandrinkah (The Bitter Sea. A Novel about Alexandrian Women) (2002), and particularly in his collection of short stories Južni veter. Zgodbe slovenskih Egipčank (South- ern Wind. Stories of Slovenian Egyptian Women) (2006), in which he describes the lives of Slovenian nannies, maids, servants, and nursemaids in Egypt (these emigrant women from Primorska in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries were eventually referred to as aleksandrinke, or Alexandrian Women), shows these women as morally fall- 9 MIGRACIJE_19_OK.indd 9 10.12.2009 10:38:30 The Catholic Church undoubtedly took the emigration of Slovenian women very seriously, and the inverse would likely hold to a great degree: (too) many Slovenian emigrant women took the church sermons and teach- ings very seriously. Too seriously! As Marina Lukšič-Hacin writes in the chapter entitled “Concealment and Patriarchy” – in a kind of critical theory of gender dichotomy – in the new, emigrant environment, many emigrant women remained faithful to the Catholic teachings of their original envi- ronment, in which men and women were assigned clear and unmistakable roles: “Man is an idea, woman is matter; man is a head, woman is a heart.” Divisions into biological and social, nature and culture, private and public, emotional and rational, body and mind, which defined and restricted women to the “home”, often remained unshaken in the “wider world”. Furthermore, catchphrases like “housewife, wife, and mother” some- times came to their fullest expression only in the “wider world”. In the chapter entitled “Patriarchy and Representation”, a study of how the stere- otypical patriarchal view of women can be taken to extremes, Jernej Mlekuž writes about how the Slovenian political emigrant community in Argentina, in their struggle against the communist regime in the homeland, zealously and haughtily flaunted the ideologised image of woman as “housewife, wife, and mother”. In the primary print medium of the Slovenian political emi- grant community, Svobodna Slovenija (Free Slovenia), the following words are brandished in an article entitled “To Our Mothers”: “We, who are not and do not want to be communists, have totally different views of women and mothers. We see women as mothers within the circle of the family and with a child in her lap. Housewife, wife, and mother. Three roles that the Creator ensconced in women’s hearts.” But let’s not create the wrong impression.

    Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J. King Johann Heinrich Zimmermann (1741-1805) a navigué sur le Discovery lors du troisième voyage de James Cook au Pacifique (1776-1780) et a écrit un compte du voyage, Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook (Mannheim, 1781). En 1782 il a été invité par William Bolts à participer à un voyage à la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique partant de Trieste sous les couleurs autrichiennes impériales. Ce voyage était conçu comme réponse autrichienne aux voyages de Cook, un voyage impérial de découverte autour du monde qui devait comprendre l'exploitation des possibilités commerciales du commerce des fourrures sur la côte nord- ouest et le commerce avec la Chine et le Japon. Zimmermann a été rejoint à Trieste par trois de ses anciens compagnons de bord sous Cook -- George Dixon, George Gilpin et William Walker, chacun destiné à naviguer comme officier sur le navire impérial et royal Cobenzell. Les lettres et le journal de Zimmermann qui ont survécu fournissent une source valable à cette étude des origines du commerce maritime des fourrures sur la côte nord-ouest. On 24 July 1782, George Dixon wrote from Vienna to Heinrich Zimmermann, his former shipmate on the Discovery during James Cook’s 1776-1780 expedition to the North Pacific: Dear Harry, Yours I Rec‘d, and am glad you have Resolution, like the Honest Sailor which I allways have taken you for, and are willing to be doing sum thing both for your self and the Country.

  • Fondazione Internazionale Trieste Per Il Progresso E La Libertà Delle Scienze and SISSA Interdisciplinary Laboratory
    EUROPEAN CITY OF SCIENCE 2020 Freedom for Science, Science for Freedom 1 FREEDOM FOR SCIENCE, SCIENCE FOR FREEDOM Dear Dr. Tindemans I would like to express again the support of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research – MIUR – to the candidature of Trieste to host the Euro Science Open forum (ESOF) in 2020. The candidature is solid and the proposed PROESOF2020 program, with the specifc goal of promoting discussion and deepening European scientifc collaboration ahead of the opening of ESOF is an unprecedented initiative represents an added value to the Valeria Fedeli proposal. Minister of Instruction, University and Research The motto “Freedom for Science, Science for Freedom”, is a refection of our times. Not only does it apply to the modern age, but it also provides guidance in the face of rapidly changing societies resulting from technological advancements and innovations, and Trieste, for it’s very well known high concentration of national and international Scientifc Institutions, functioning both as institutes of higher education as well as science and technology parks for high level research, and for both geographic and historical reasons, could not be a more ftting city to be named the European City of Science. Euro Science Open Forum would surely gain extra visibility and play an unprecedented role in the integration of Europe and in the relations between Europe and the Far-East and the South Mediterranean, and we believe that, with all its outreach and scientifc opportunities, ESOF 2020 would represent a milestone in Italy’ events to promote the role of science in society in a European context.

CONFETRA F.V.G.-ASSOCIATION OF FORWARDERS FOR THE PORT OF TRIESTE/ASTRA F.V.G. 1.1 OUR HISTORY Dating back to 1898 is the founding of a “Consortium of Forwarding Agents interested in traffic between Trieste and Vienna”, that grouped together the most important Agents in Vienna, among which many are still active today in Austria and in Trieste. The association was indeed one of the first of its kind in Europe and the first in the Mediterranean Basin. 1906 were officially founded an Association of 26 Forwarding Agents with their HQ in Trieste, of which our Association today is the direct heir pursuing the same aspirations and objectives. We are, among others, cofounders of the FIATA (Fédération Internationale des Associations de Transitaires et Assimiliés). 1.2 YOUR REGIONAL CONTACT IN LOGISTICS AND FORWARDING Our Association represents the CONFETRA (Italian national Association of transport and logistic operators) and the FEDESPEDI (Italian Association of the International Forwarding Agencies) for the whole Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Milan Brglez Somentor: doc. dr. Andrej Rahten Zgodovina slovenske diplomacije; Od narodnega programa do mednarodnega priznanja Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 Medtem, ko pri nas ni bilo sledu organiziranosti, je bila pri njih (slovenski del delegacije na Pariški mirovni konferenci leta 1918, op.a.) organizacija dela izvedena do podrobnosti. Imeli so svojega zgodovinarja, geografa, kartografa, statistika, risarja, pisarniške uradnike in tipkarice; iz Ljubljane so pripeljali celo pisarniškega slugo. Skupaj jih je bilo deset. To osebje je bilo nameščeno v posebnem delu hotela in oskrbljeno z vsem potrebnim za delo. V pisarnah, ki so bile vzor reda in snage, se je delalo po ves dan, dostikrat tudi v pozne nočne ure. Nihče ni stal križem rok. Tipkanje strojev ni prenehalo od jutra do mraka (Vrečar 2002, 88). Zgodovina slovenske diplomacije; od narodnega programa do mednarodnega priznanja Zgodovina slovenske diplomacije; od narodnega programa do mednarodnega priznanja je poizkus opredelitve razvoja in značilnosti slovenskih diplomatskih aktivnosti v času pred nastankom lastne, neodvisne države. Kljub temu da je rojstvo diplomacije trdno povezano z nastankom državnosti, pa zgodovina slovenske diplomacije zasleduje vse tiste politične prakse predstavnikov slovenskega naroda v mnogonarodnih tvorbah, ki so najbolj značilne poznanim diplomatskim praksam. Zgodovina Slovencev vsebuje bogato politično tradicijo. Vse od narodnega programa naprej se kaže težnja Slovencev po večji samostojnosti znotraj mnogonarodnih tvorb. V kasnejših obdobjih se težnja po samostojnosti kaže tudi na področju zunanje politike.
