Italian Humanist Photography from Fascism to the Cold War
Martina Caruso, scientific monograph

Abstract: Spanning four decades of radical political and social change in Italy, this interdisciplinary study explores photography’s relationship with Italian painting, film, literature, anthropological research and international photography. Evocative and powerful, Italian social documentary photography from the 1930s to the 1960s is a rich source of cultural history, reflecting a time of dramatic change. This book shows, through a wide range of images (some published for the first time) that to fully understand the photography of this period we must take a more expansive view than scholars have applied to date, considering issues of propaganda, aesthetics, religion, national identity and international influences. By setting Italian photography against a backdrop of social documentary and giving it a distinctive place in the global history of photography, this exciting volume of original research is of interest to art historians and scholars of Italian and visual culture studies.
Keywords: History of photography, documentary photography, social photography, humanist photography, painting, film, literature, anthropology, fascism, antifascism, Mussolini, resistance, partisans, masculinity, peasants, ruralism, religion, Catholicism, Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Eboli, propaganda, national identity, aesthetics, politics

From Minor Literature to Neoliberal Noir: The Detective Novels of Sergej Verc
Primož Mlačnik, 2022, original scientific article

Abstract: In this article, we analyze the politics of representation in the detective tetralogy (1991-2009) of the late Slovenian and Triestinian writer Sergej Verč. Addressing several aspects of Verč’s primary literary semiotic device of schizophrenia, we trace a simultaneous literary and chronological shift from minor literature to neoliberal noir. We expose the fundamental representational ambiguity by analyzing the detective triad (murder-victim-criminal), the fetishization of detective clues, the erotization of detection, and the underlying binary oppositions. Verč’s detective novels critique the Slovenian capitalist transition but also reproduce culturally conservative representations of gender, sexuality, and family.
Keywords: Slovenian Literature, Sergej Verč, Minor Literature, Neoliberal Noir, Trieste, De(mythologization), Schizophrenia, Politics of Representation, Detective Novels, Critique of Capitalism, Cultural Conservatism

Domesticated Slovenians in detective novels of Avgust Demšar
Primož Mlačnik, 2022, published scientific conference contribution abstract

Abstract: I investigate the politics of representation in the detective novels of Avgust Demšar, a prolific Slovenian author of ten detective novels, by deconstructing their narratives and the detective triad. The novels Thin Ice(Tanek led), Europe(Evropa), Miloš, The Island(Otok) and The Church (Cerkev) are presented through the perspective of domestic noir. Demšar's novels criticise bigotry and negotiate with the detective genre's inherent culturally conservative topos, oriented towards re-establishing the social status quo. At the manifest narrative level, homophobia and repressive sexual morale are delegitimised through the character of a murderous homophobic mother and politically correct lesbian detectives Nika Lavrič and macho detective Miloš, and by an emphatic male detective Martin Vrenko. However, repressive sexual morale is affirmed on the level of relationships between men and women or criminals and victims. Unweddedness, non-heteronormativity, divorce or adultery, both categorical pairs share archetypal sins of the patriarchal Christian imaginarium. Therefore, the ambivalent méconnaissance between affirmation and negation of cultural conservatism offers a unique view into contemporary Slovenian society's norms, fears, and prevalent ideological ideas. The norm of the stable monogamous partnership and the fear of private matters becoming public function as the elusive protection against social evil.
