  • Reducing Old-Age Social Exclusion (Rosenet)
    COST Action CA 15122 Reducing Old-Age Social Exclusion (ROSEnet) 3rd Training School 2018 Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia 4th - 6th June 2018 The training school (TS) is organised within the framework provided by COST action ”ROSEnet” (www.rosenetcost.com), which aims to overcome fragmentation and critical gaps in conceptual innovation on old-age exclusion across the life course, in order to address the research-policy disconnect and tackle social exclusion amongst older people in Europe. Final programme of the 2018 Training School First of all, congratulations on being selected to join us at ROSEnet’s 3rd Training School, which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia from 4th to 6th June 2018 at Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ljubljana. We look very much forward to meeting you in Ljubljana in a couple of weeks! As stated in the preliminary programme you received when you first apply, this Training School will focus on conceptual and methodological aspects of research on social exclusion. This school will include not only lectures on ongoing research on old-age social exclusion being carried out in the different Working Groups around which ROSEnet’s work is organized but also ample opportunities to share your own research with us. Most of the lectures and discussions will focus on the conceptual elements of exclusion, leading to different operationalisations and methodological approaches from qualitative to quantitative and mixed methods research designs. It is not unccomon for COST-Actions’ Training Schools to aim to build capacity amongst early- career investigators, which is why they sometimes offer some form of academic skill training.

  • Lietuvos Muzikologija 17.Indd
    Lietuvos muzikologija, t. 17, 2016 Gregor POMPE Gregor POMPE Slovenian “Early Modernism” – Methodological, Terminological, Historiographical and Axiological Dilemmas Slovėnijos „ankstyvasis modernizmas“ – metodologinės, terminologinės, istoriografinės ir aksiologinės dilemos Abstract The history of Slovenian music of the first decades after the First World War cannot be written without drawing certain parallels with the history of music in Central Europe. From this perspective, Slovenian composers in the period after 1918 followed the examples of the style that, according to Dahlhaus and Danuser, can be in German labelled as die Moderne (Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf ) and in Slovenian correspondingly as moderna, the closest English appropriation of the term being “early modernism”. Before the war, Slovenian early modernist composers published their compositions in the magazine Novi akordi, and after the war they maintained the same stylistic orientation. What had changed was the social position of these composers: they were no longer the daring, young and innovative artistic generation, instead taking their place as the main leaders of Slovenian music culture, and therefore increasingly becoming the guardians of conservatism, of the aesthetics of expression, rooted in the romantic convictions of the 19th century. The present text analyses the aesthetic viewpoints and compositions of Anton Lajovic, Janko Ravnik and Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, who either almost ceased to compose after 1926 or remained indebted to the early modernist

  • The Erosion of Naive Memory and Its Dangers Ales Debeljak The
    Balkan Fragments: The Erosion of Naive Memory and its Dangers Ales Debeljak Versió original en anglès Escriptor, professor de filosofia de la Universitat de Ljubljana. Versión original en inglés Escritor, profesor de filosofía de la Universidad de Ljubljana. Original version english The Yugoslav perspective has been an extremely important one in my personal and creative development. For example, my very first experience of a metropolis was of a Yugoslav one. I believe I can remember to this day that secondary-school excitement I had upon entering a new territory: like the full lips of a slightly vulgar but enormously sensual girl, the streets of Belgrade seduced me in the early 1980s with promises of romantic opportunities and flashing revelations of Balkan wisdom. I remember well that first ascent from the main railway station through the canyons of the faded palaces, which I was later told mimicked Sutjeska architecturally, all the way up to the wide Terazije. Along this boulevard I strolled, enjoying the gaily-coloured, relaxed manner of the passers-by past the Hotel Moskva. This was where, after his return from Britain, having spent decades there as an emigrant, the aged Milos Crnjanski lived until his death. I don’t know why I didn’t stay in the USA when, many years later, I myself followed the call of foreign shores, but perhaps it had to do with my being struck for the first time by the depressive force of the circumstance called exile presented in the pages of Crnjanski’s Roman o Londonu (A Novel of London). In the display window of the bookshop in the Albanija building, I quickly skimmed the titles of books not yet available in Slovene.

  • Slovenska Moderna
    Slovenska moderna Modernus (=navaden, sodoben) Gospodarske, politične in kulturne razmere so na prelomu stoletja pognale številne Slovence v svet, s trebuhom za kruhom. Slovensko ozemlje pa so zasedali Nemci in s ponemčevanjem izrinjali slovenski jezik iz uporabe. Življenje je dobivalo vse bolj izrazite poteze kapitalistične zgodnje družbene ureditve z vsemi slabostmi za prebivalstvo. Zlasti se je to kazalo kot čedalje večja revščina širokih ljudskih slojev. Devetdeset procentov kapitala je bilo v lasti tujcev. Slovenci so se razdelili na klerikalce in liberalce tako, da niso več enotno nastopali proti tujcem. Klerikalci so bili proti narodni suverenosti, enakopravnosti in pravici za samoodločbo. Zagovarjali so absolutno avstrijsko monarhijo. Zaradi takih stališč so Slovenci konec prve svetovne vojne izgubili Koroško, Porabje in Primorsko. Kljub gospodarski nerazvitosti, jezikovni ogroženosti, gostilniški politiki in državni odvisnosti so Slovenci v obeh desetletjih napravili pomemben vzpon v književnosti in drugih umetnostih ter jezikoslovju in literarni zgodovini. Predstavniki Moderne Dragotin Kette, Josip Murn, Ivan Cankar, Oton Župančič in njihovi spremljevalci Izidor Cankar, Fran Saleški Finžgar, Alojz Gradnik in drugi so slovensko besedno umetnost dvignili na pomembno raven. Na razpolago so imeli leposlovne časopise Ljubljanski zvon, Dom in svet, Slovan, Rimski katolik, Čas, Katoliški obzornik, Vedi in Naši zapiski. Izraz moderna je bil od srednjega veka v rabi za vse, kar je današnje v primerjavi s preteklim. V 19. stoletju so ga uporabljali za nove literarne smeri, ki so prelamljale s tradicijo in so se zdele zares sodobne. To se je dogajalo zlasti ob koncu 19. stoletja, ko so nastopile nove književne smeri: naturalizem, nova romantika, dekadenca in simbolizem. Takrat so z imenom moderna označevali zlasti zadnje tri, ki so bile nasprotne pred tem prevladujočemu realizmu in naturalizmu.

  • Chapter 5 Jože Plečnik, the Regulation of Ljubljana
    CHAPTER 5 JOŽE PLEČNIK, THE REGULATION OF LJUBLJANA – CLASSICAL MODERNISM 1928-1939 B W Davies Chapter 5 CHAPTER 5 Jože Plečnik, The Regulation of Ljubljana – Classical Modernism 1928-1939 The other major developments in architectural work and town and city planning in Central Europe are not to be found in the efforts of a large number of people but in the work of one man whose architectural oeuvre enriched firstly Prague and then Ljubljana. He was Jože Plečnik; Plečnik is the central figure in a forgotten chapter in the development of international modernism. The Slovene architect Jože Plečnik has become the central personality of a so far largely ignored development taking place behind the façade of functionalist slogans of theoreticians and prominent creative personalities of international modernism including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Alvar Aalto.1 Plečnik had for years remained largely unrecognised even though one of his works, Church of the Sacred Heart, first drawn in 1922 (5.1), arriving at a final design in 1927, dominates a square in Vinohrady, Prague – a robust building which can stand alone or be seen as a focus for Plečnik’s work especially in the inventiveness in the use of historical, regional and even local elements in new, original wholes, ranging from minute details, to major planning projects.2 Plečnik’s return to Slovenia from the Czechoslovak Republic was by no means certain for two reasons: in 1920 Plečnik was invited by Tomáš Mašaryk, President of the new Czechoslovak Republic, to be architect in chief in the remodelling and restoration of Hradcany (Prague Castle).

  • Unesco's Tbilisi — World Book Capital 2021: Renewing the Book Stock of Public School Libraries Project Is Launched
    PRESS RELEASE 23 November, 2020 UNESCO'S TBILISI — WORLD BOOK CAPITAL 2021: RENEWING THE BOOK STOCK OF PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES PROJECT IS LAUNCHED The first stage for the Project of Renewing the Book Stock of Public School Libraries across Tbilisi has been launched within the framework of UNESCO "Tbilisi —World Book Capital 2021". The project is organised by Tbilisi City Hall, the Tbilisi Multifunctional Libraries Union, and the Georgian Publishers and Booksellers Association. At the first stage of the project the book stocks of 62 public school libraries will be renewed. Each school will receive a 900 GEL voucher which will be used to purchase books from more than 30 publishing houses and book distributing organisations operating in Georgia. The programme aims to fill Tbilisi public school libraries with the latest editions of books, bring school students closer to modern literature, and to improve literacy. The project will carry on to 2021 and, by the end of the year, all Public Schools Libraries in Tbilisi will have renewed their book stocks. “Tbilisi will officially receive the status of World Book Capital in April 2021. Until then, preparatory work is underway. Education has always been a priority of Tbilisi City Hall, so I am glad that we [the project organisers] are starting the project with activities planned specially for school students. By the end of 2021 the libraries of all Tbilisi public schools will be enriched with new books”, – said Deputy Mayor of Tbilisi Andria Basilaia. “Providing the public school libraries with new books is one of the main components of the project which will be implemented in several stages and will eventually cover all public schools.
