Brezmejnost mej Od sprememb si zmeraj želimo osvežitev in letoš- nje niso nič drugačne. Seveda pa Vilenica kljub Te besede pišem na dan, ko je začela padati še ena premikom, kljub mejam ostaja tisto, kar je bila od meja, Vilenici najbližja: slovensko-hrvaška. Hrvaška samega začetka: stičišče literatur, kultur, osebnih stopa v Evropsko unijo. Na meji bomo še kazali govoric in osebnih zgodb. Tudi vaše. Prisluhnimo dokumente, ne pa več prtljage. Postajamo vse bolj si, v festivalskih dneh in v vseh, ki sledijo. neomejeni, se zdi. Vendar nam je, kakor je na spomladanski tiskovni konferenci našega festivala Andrej Blatnik duhovito pripomnila naša odlična sodelavka Vesna predsednik žirije Vilenice Humar, odgovorna urednica Primorskih novic, Nemčija včasih gledala potne liste, zdaj pa nam gleda proračune – in naša omejenost ni izginila, le spremenila se je. Še več, zdi se, da pravzaprav prora- čunov niti ne želi gledati Nemčija, temveč nekakšni globalni finančni polipi, ki so si v Nemčiji, povečini kar v Frankfurtu, tik častitljivega knjižnega sejma, postavili varovane ebenovinaste stolpe finančnega sijaja. Sijaja, ki ga lošči, vpije jug Evrope, znoj imi- grantov in delavcev za drobiž.

Kakšne so torej naše nove meje? Literatura se jih od nekdaj trudi prestopati, ne glede na to, kakšne so – od nekdaj je glas proti moči in dominaciji. Zato meje niso le omejitev, ampak tudi izziv. Navdih. Včasih dobesedno. Bližina meje pisanju spreminja motive, teme in jezik, kliče po prestopu v drugost ali vsaj po bližanju čezmejnemu. Vse to literaturi ni tuje vse od njenih začetkov, še več domovinske pravice pa v njej pridobiva v časih, ko se politične meje, opisane na začetku, spreminjajo, tako način bivanja sodobnega človeka kot tudi njegova identi- teta pa postajata vse bolj globalna.

Na stičišču kultur ne nastajajo le konflikti, temveč se tudi zaplajajo novi načini življenja, nove govori- ce, nove zgodbe. Prav prisluškovanju teh zgodb se je odločila slediti letošnja festivalska tema in mor- da ni naključje, da se je Vilenica s prvim delom svojega programa premaknila še bližje stičiščem različnih zgodovinskih in duhovnih meja in zlasti bližje morju, kjer je mejo zmeraj težko utrditi, pa če se s kopnega še tako trudimo. 4 · · 5

The Limitlessness of Borders new ways of life, new languages, and new stories to prosper. Listening to such stories has therefore been I am writing these words on the day of another the central motif around which this year’s festival border’s demise: the Slovene-Croatian border, the topic revolves. And it might not be a fluke that the one closest to Vilenica. Croatia is becoming part of very first part of its this year’s program brought the European Union. When crossing the border, our Vilenica even closer to a junction between the most travel documents may still be subject to control, but diverse of historical and spiritual borders, and even no more our luggage. We are becoming less and less closer to the sea, where borders are extremely difficult limited, I presume. Yet – as our esteemed associate to reinforce – especially from land – may one try as Vesna Humar from the Primorske Novice news- hard as they can. paper was so kind to wittily remind us during our festival’s spring press conference – Germany may have We always hope that change will facilitate something ceased checking our passports, but they have switched constructive and fresh. Of course, such a mindset to checking our budgets. Thus, our limitedness has remains the same this year as well. Yet, in spite of all not vanished. It has just evolved. Furthermore, it the shifts and borders, Vilenica shall remain the same appears as if it is not necessarily Germany that desires as it has been from the very start: a meeting place to monitor our budget, but moreover some sort of of literatures, cultures, individual perspectives, and global financial polyps, which have set up their base personal stories. Including yours. Let us listen to each in Germany. And they erected their tightly-guarded other during the days of the Vilenica Festival, and ivory towers of financial splendour predominantly in continue following this approach during the days that Frankfurt – just across the street from the venerable are to follow. book fair. The polished splendour is soaked in by Eu- rope’s South; the sweat of immigrants and labourers, Andrej Blatnik who labour for leftovers. President of the Vilenica jury

What are, then, our new borders like? Literature has always aspired to overcome them, no matter their nature. Literature has forever been the voice against power and domination. Therefore, borders are not just limits. They are also a challenge. Inspiration. Occasionally even literally. The vicinity to a border changes the motives, topics, and the narrative of writing. It calls for crossing over into otherness, or at least progressing closer to something that is transboundary. Literature has known this from the very beginning and it keeps gaining more and more of a right of residence in times when political borders – as hinted at before – are changing, while the way of life of the modern citizen, as well as their identity, become more and more global.

Junctions between different cultures are not just venues of conflict. They are also fertile ground for 6 · table of contents kazalo · 7

Lani je zmagala na natečaju Powers/Irish Times za najboljšo kratko zgodbo.
