Michelle Gadpaille Prevajalka: Amy Kennedy, dipl. ples. koreografinja ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This master’s thesis would not have been written without the inspiration and the support of a number of wonderful people – my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to all of them. First of all, I owe my deep and sincere appreciation and gratitude to my mentor Professor Vesna Vuk Godina for her guidance during my research and for expanding my horizons during my time studying. Without her encouragement, guidance, support, knowledge, help, patience and understanding, this thesis would not have been completed. She was a ceaseless source of enthusiasm, not only during this thesis project but also during my studies. I express my warmest gratitude to my co-mentor, Professor Josephus Platenkamp, for his help, suggestions and inspiring lectures during my Erasmus exchange at the Department of Anthropology in Münster. It is a pleasure to thank all of my friends for the wonderful time and beautiful moments we shared together and for always believing in me and supporting me. Thanks to Suzana, Saša, Sabina, and Bojana for sharing my student years. To Patricia, Aysha, and Gloria, for making my Erasmus exchange unforgettable, to all of the special people from the international seminars of Macedonian language, literature and culture in Ohrid in the years 2011, 2015 and 2016 – thank you for making those days some of the best in my life. To Macedonia, for making me see, experience and feel something completely different, for “giving” me new eyes. To Adriana, Mario, Natalija, Nina and Suzana, for our salsa, bachata and kizomba dancing nights and for our friendship - you really gave me the motivation and energy for writing this thesis. To Marija, Tina, Jana, Jasmina, Teja, Tjaša, Nikolina, Kristina, for our years of friendship. To Andjela, Nuša, Mitja, Žiga, Alja, for all the constructive debates and ideas. To Barbara, thank you for being not just my friend but my sister. To Mojca, thank you for all of the English advice, and for being my dearest co-worker in the theatre and an even better friend during these four years. Jakica, my dearest little cat, without your presence my nights of reading and writing would have been much more uninteresting and unloved. Thanks to all who helped in any way in the process of preparing this thesis. To Nenad, for our story. Thank you for being with me, for making me feel and see the world differently, for all our little special moments, for your support and love. Thank you for existing.

In loving memory of my grandma, who is one of the reasons that I am who I am today. For all of the wonderful years you were with me. POVZETEK Magistrsko delo se ukvarja z antropološko analizo slovenskega sistema sorodstvene terminologije. Prvi del naloge zajema teoretično obravnavo pojmov kulture, jezika in sorodstva ter povezave med njimi v antropološkem smislu, empirični del naloge pa analizira samo sorodstveno terminologijo slovenskega sorodstvenega sistema in njene spremembe skozi čas, pri tem pa upošteva zgodovinski, kulturni, socialni in topografski kontekst. Skozi analizo slovenskega sorodstvenega sistema skušamo prikazati tudi pomembne značilnosti slovenske kulture. Ključne besede: kultura, jezik, sorodstvo, slovenska sorodstvena terminologija, slovenska kultura ABSTRACT This master's thesis deals with the anthropological analysis of the Slovenian system of kinship terminology. In the first part of the thesis, we present the theoretical concepts of culture, language and kinship and the interconnectedness between them in an anthropological sense. The empirical part of the thesis analyzes Slovenian kinship terminology. We try to describe changes in the Slovenian system of kinship terminology over time, according to historical, cultural, social and topographical contexts. By analyzing the Slovenian kinship system, we also try to demonstrate some of the main characteristics of Slovenian culture.

    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.

  • Cultural Achievements of the Slovene Diaspora in Australia
    Between Europe and Australia Cultural Achievements of the Slovene Diaspora in Australia The first Slovene experiences of Australia, if one of the first documented visits of a Slovene to Australia is taken into consideration, go back into the colonial period. A certain Matija Kliner arrived to Australia sometime between 1857 and 1859, when he was working on the Austrian (Habsburg) military ship on its journey around the world. Rihard Poga~nik came to Australia in 1860, working as a navigation officer on one of the steamers owned by Lloyd's from Trieste (Trst). Anton Dolenc was during 1890 and 1891 on an Austrian military ship likewise making its way around the world and also stopped in Australia. He kept a diary about his journey on which he reported in the then Slovene papers. It is interesting, though, that none of these early Slovene visitors of Australia decided to stay for good, although the gold rush still swept the land and attracted many settlers from other European countries. According to some authors (Ogrin), the first Slovenes that actually migrated to Australia to settle there came in 191 0. The exact number of Slovenes that migrated before the Great War is difficult to ascertain, for they were citizens of the Austro­ Hungarian monarchy who declared themselves as Austrians. It is known that in Australia during the war broke out racial unrest against the migrants from South East Europe, i.e. including those from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy with Slovenes, who were, according to some data, under closer surveillance because of possible German affiliations and sympathies (Birsa).
