3. Forms of address, performative prefixes, and the syntax-pragmatics interfaceTue Trinh, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Forms of address must be pronominal in English but can be either pronominal or nominal in Vietnamese. I propose to analyze this fact as a parametric difference: the two languages choose different ways to implement one and the same general preference principle. This principle is Rule I, which favors binding over coreference. For English, Rule I compares bound and free expressions. For Vietnamese, Rule I compares bound and free pronouns. The analysis crucially relies on the hypothesis that speech acts are represented in the syntax.
Keywords: performative hypothesis, binding theory, rule I, pronouns

5. 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Workshop: Central European Masculinities in a Comparative Perspective, Katowice, Poland, 15. 11. 2024Darko Ilin, 2024, unpublished conference contribution Abstract: This paper explores the representation of anti-social queer masculinities in Brane Mozetič's literary works at the turn of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.

7. Poučevanje medijske arheologije : od-učenje in ponovna predstava o zgodovinskem jazuEszter Polónyi, 2024, published scientific conference contribution abstract Abstract: The media archaeologist has been called an experimenter (Fickers and van den Oever), a circuit-bender (G Hertz and Jussi Parikka), a “thinkerer” (Ted Nelson, Lori Emerson, Erkki Huhtamo). With reluctance, sometimes media archaeologists self-designate as a “media/historians.” Rarely does the media archaeologist refer to themselves as “students” of media. However, several texts have appeared recently that suggest that media archaeology as a field is inherently pedagogic, in the sense that it presumes experiential, speculative, and embodied forms of knowledge acquisition (Fickers and van den Oever; Patrick Ellis and Colin Williamson, Wanda Strauven). This paper follows on the call by recent media archaeologists like Andreas Fickers and Annie van den Oever for a sensorially-engaged encounter with media artifacts. It suggests that, through such methods of experiment and re-enactment, media archaeology might represent a kind of un-learning of toxic subject positions embedded in media technologies themselves. Making the historical self into the field’s most important, but repressed, medium, the paper argues that media archaeology might be indispensable to historical writing because it presents historians and students of history with an opportunity to radically reimagine the self (Michel Foucault, Peter Galison, Claudia Rankine).

9. Dark matter line searches with the Cherenkov Telescope ArrayS. Abe, Saptashwa Bhattacharyya, Christopher Eckner, Judit Pérez Romero, Samo Stanič, Veronika Vodeb, Serguei Vorobiov, Gabrijela Zaharijas, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, Miha Živec, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Monochromatic gamma-ray signals constitute a potential smoking gun signature for annihilating
or decaying dark matter particles that could relatively easily be distinguished from astrophysical
or instrumental backgrounds. We provide an updated assessment of the sensitivity of
the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to such signals, based on observations of the Galactic
centre region as well as of selected dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that current limits
and detection prospects for dark matter masses above 300 GeV will be significantly improved,
by up to an order of magnitude in the multi-TeV range.
This demonstrates that CTA will set a new standard for gamma-ray astronomy also in this respect, as the world's largest and most sensitive high-energy gamma-ray observatory, in particular due to its exquisite energy resolution at TeV energies and the adopted observational strategy focussing
on regions with large dark matter densities.
Throughout our analysis, we use up-to-date instrument response functions, and we thoroughly
model the effect of instrumental systematic uncertainties in our statistical treatment. We further present results for other potential signatures with sharp spectral features, e.g. box-shaped spectra, that would likewise very clearly point to a particle dark matter origin.

10. Decolonizing literary studies : unveiling postcolonial narratives in post-Yugoslav academic curriculaSara Vukotić, Darko Ilin, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: This paper explores the presence and integration of postcolonial studies in literature education within the faculties of philology in the capitals of the former Yugoslav countries. Focusing on the emerging field of critical curriculum studies, the research delves into the nuanced landscape of literature education, particularly at higher levels, specifically emphasizing literary students’ specialized education. The study contextualizes postcolonial studies as a hybrid space for theoretical discourse, tracing its roots to anticolonial critique and contemporary Western theories. Drawing on the anticolonial heritage of socialist Yugoslavia and its involvement in the Non-Aligned Movement, the paper navigates the complexities of (post)colonial dynamics in the Balkans. This paper investigates the presence, or absence, of postcolonial theory in literature curricula within humanities faculties in the former Yugoslav countries’ capital cities. This research is based on the close interconnection of literature and postcolonial theory, whose origins lie within the literary representation of colonization relations. The primary objective is to discern the extent to which postcolonial studies are integrated into literary education and what implications this holds within the national context. Through an examination of course programs and content at various academic levels, the research aims to illuminate the role of postcolonial theory in shaping the narrative of literature education in the context of the former Yugoslavia.
