1. Politics of sexuality in Slovenian crime fiction from »moderna« and Ljuba Prenner to the 21st CenturyPrimož Mlačnik, 2024, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: The first part of the lecture will weave together two
short theoretical introductions regarding the
relationship between sexuality and crime fiction,
focusing on the poetics of the genre(s) and, second,
the Western politics of sexuality. In the second part,
the lecture will present the historically contextualised
subject of sexuality or rather intimacy in Slovenian
literature in the period of »moderna« and two short
analyses of one of the first Slovenian crime stories,
Požigalec (1910; The Arsonist) and the first Slovenian
crime novel Neznani storilec: malomeščanska
kriminalna povest (1939; Unknown Perpetrator: a
provincial crime tale). In the context of politics of
sexuality, the lecture will lay bare a few distinctive
socio-historical representational patterns –
ideological themes found in stories of (women) writers
from »moderna« and contemporary Slovenian crime
fiction – that persist well into the 21st Century. Ključne besede: poetics of crime fiction, politics of sexuality, Slovenian crime fiction Objavljeno v RUNG: 10.09.2024; Ogledov: 613; Prenosov: 0 Gradivo ima več datotek! Več... |

3. Italian Humanist Photography from Fascism to the Cold WarMartina Caruso, znanstvena monografija Opis: 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. Ključne besede: 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 Objavljeno v RUNG: 16.01.2023; Ogledov: 2587; Prenosov: 0 Gradivo ima več datotek!

4. From Minor Literature to Neoliberal Noir: The Detective Novels of Sergej VercPrimož Mlačnik, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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. Ključne besede: Slovenian Literature, Sergej Verč, Minor Literature, Neoliberal Noir, Trieste, De(mythologization), Schizophrenia, Politics of
Representation, Detective Novels, Critique of
Capitalism, Cultural Conservatism Objavljeno v RUNG: 15.12.2022; Ogledov: 2230; Prenosov: 24 Celotno besedilo (641,12 KB) |
5. Domesticated Slovenians in detective novels of Avgust DemšarPrimož Mlačnik, 2022, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: 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. Ključne besede: domestic noir, detective novels, politics of representation, cultural conservatism Objavljeno v RUNG: 07.07.2022; Ogledov: 2478; Prenosov: 9 Povezava na celotno besedilo Gradivo ima več datotek! Več... |
