Opis: This study explores Slovenian bio-art through the lens of new materialism and feminist posthumanism, focusing on six prominent artists: Saša Spačal, Robertina Šebjanič, Špela Petrič, Doroteja Dolinšek, Zoran Srdič Janežič, and Maja Smrekar. Their work interrogates interspecies relationships, ecological entanglements, and technological mediation, offering critical insights into contemporary bio-media practices. Positioned within a robust institutional framework of long-standing associations and a national funding scheme, these artists have achieved international recognition while contributing significantly to the development of intermedia art globally. Exemplified by a selected artwork each, their artistic practices are situated within new materialist, media ecological and posthuman feminist theoretical discourses. The paper highlights how contemporary bio-artistic practices challenge anthropocentric narratives, foster multispecies ethics, and redefine both uman and non-human agency. The particular ecosystem of the globally entangled yet in some ways also specifically Slovenian bio-art may demonstrate how artistic practices can facilitate ecological awareness and technological critique while fostering alternative modes of knowing, and eventually contribute to positioning art as a transformative force in contemporary cultural discourse.
Ključne besede: Slovenian bio-art, feminist posthumanism, new materialism, political ecology, media anthropology, Saša Spačal, Robertina Šebjanič, Špela Petrič, Doroteja Dolinšek, Zoran Srdič Janežič, Maja Smrekar

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.
