1. What kind of man does that: anti-social queer masculinities in Brane Mozetič’s early prose : lecture at the Second International Workshop: Central European Masculinities in a Comparative Perspective, Katowice, Poland, 15. 11. 2024Darko Ilin, 2024, unpublished conference contribution Abstract: This paper explores the representation of anti-social queer masculinities in Brane Mozetič's literary works at the turn of the millennium, focusing on the short story collection Passion (1993) and the novels Angels (1996) and The Lost Story (2001). Situated in post-Yugoslav and post-socialist Slovenia, Mozetič’s narratives are examined to uncover how they interact with and possibly appropriate emerging models of masculinity found in queer transgressive fiction from global literary centers. The study investigates the distinct adaptations and circulations of these models within the semi-peripheral context of Central Europe, with a particular focus on Slovenia. By analyzing the depiction of queer masculinities in relation to themes of anti-social behavior and societal marginalization, drawing from both theoretical frameworks (such as those of Hocquenghem and Bersani) and literary traditions, this paper aims to elucidate how Mozetič’s work reflects and diverges from broader literary and cultural movements during a period of democratization, transition, and Westernization. The analysis seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the representation of anti-social queer masculinities in a post-socialist Central European context, highlighting the cultural exchanges and influences that shape contemporary queer literature in the region.

5. Timekeeper outside the canon : Roksanda Njeguš’s prose in the Serbian literary systemDarko Ilin, 2024, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: This paper will discuss the work of Roksanda Njeguš (1915–2009) in the context of Serbian literature. Roksanda Njeguš was a translator from Slovenian and Italian
into Serbo-Croatian, a writer, and a cultural worker. She published a book of literary
reportage Normirac u srcu (1949) and the novels Kidanje (1959), Stolice na kiši (1978),
and Otpisani iz ružičaste zone (1998). This paper aims to outline one possible line of interpretation of the author’s oeuvre regarding the broader political and cultural context
of its creation. The author’s narrative focus is women’s experience during the National Liberation Struggle, and her last novel is dedicated to the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Therefore, this work will attempt to view her novels as a literary chronicle of Socialist
Yugoslavia through the female experience of struggle. By analysing her novels, this paper will critically reevaluate the author’s marginal position in the canon of the Serbian
literary system. Keywords: Serbian literature, gender perspective, socialist Yugoslavia Published in RUNG: 23.10.2024; Views: 302; Downloads: 1 Link to file This document has many files! More... |

10. Match my epistolary freak : sexual desire in the electronic collection Pisma/LettersDarko Ilin, 2024, published scientific conference contribution abstract Abstract: The lecture will focus on the exploration of sexuality as reflected in the letters of Slovene women writers at the turn of the century. This event will delve into the rich correspondences found in the PISMA/LETTERS electronic collection, a project that has brought to light the intimate and personal writings of these authors. The lecture will begin with an introduction to the project, providing an overview of the electronic collection's origins and the subsequent publication that emerged from it. We will then explore the unique characteristics of the letter as a medium, discussing its materiality and drawing parallels with contemporary
modes of communication. The central focus of the lecture will be an in-depth analysis of the erotic elements within these letters. By examining how sexual desire is narrated across different contexts, we will uncover the subtle ways in which these women expressed their desires and navigated the societal
constraints of their time. This exploration promises to offer a fascinating glimpse into the personal lives and inner worlds of Slovene women writers, revealing the complexity and richness of their experiences Keywords: sexual desire, letters, Pisma Published in RUNG: 09.09.2024; Views: 477; Downloads: 2 Link to file This document has many files!
