V Sloveniji je vzpostavitev samostojne države pomenila tudi zamenjavo družbenega sistema socializma s kapitalizmom. V članku je predstavljeno spreminjanje vrednotenja teh dveh sistemov na podlagi ...podatkov longitudinalnega raziskovanja slovenskega javnega mnenja (od 1990 do 2013). V analizi so upoštevane splošne ocene o a) socialističnem obdobju nasploh in po časovnem zaporedju, b) kakovosti življenja pred osamosvojitvijo in v samo- stojni državi, c) odnosu do pojmov Evropa, socializem in kapitalizem, ki jih dopolnjujejo stališča respondentov o tem, kako izbrani štirje pojmi (pravičnost, človečnost, neenakost, blagostanje) ustrezajo njihovim predstavam o enem ali drugem sistemu.
V trenutku odhoda Janeza Stanovnika (1922–2020), očeta naroda, ki je izšel iz krščanskega socializma, v večnost je pred menoj obsežno delo Primoža Reparja Dar osebe: Kocbek, Gosar, Krek: Via Nova ...pravda. Že začetek tega dela (v nadaljevanju Dar osebe) z uvodno formulacijo Krščanski socializem na Slovenskem via nova pravda (9) takoj pritegne. Tu so imena, ki jih povezujemo z idejo organizirane solidarnosti, imenovane socializem, in takoj se postavi vprašanje, kako misliti nekaj, kar je ta trenutek demonizirano, velja za psovko, komunajzarstvo, totalitarizem. Podnaslov tega izjemnega dela bi se lahko glasil Filozofija družabnosti in pojem družabnost je v Daru osebe eden najbolj nosilnih in tudi temeljito razložen. Gre za pot, ki ostaja spodbuda, torej duhovna popotnica v smislu »možnosti tudi za novo ubranost politične skupnosti na Slovenskem« (11), tej poti pa vsekakor velja prisluhniti.
The book contributes new insights to the research in the field of anthropology of (post)socialism, culture of consumption, gender and memory. It is based on the testimony of interlocutors who offer ...an insight into the “structure of the feeling” of the socialist era through the practice of consumption, from which on the one hand the complex economic and political dynamics and diverse disciplinary regimes are being reflected and the understanding of power, resistance and emancipation on the other. Author establishes critical distance towards the approach, which discusses socialism as a totalitarianism and shows that socialist policies were not simply dictated from above, but negotiated between the state and its citizens. The female consumer in socialism did not only respond to social barriers and obstacles of history, but she also actively co-created social time. By studying how consumers interpreted and created mutual connections between material objects, moral reputation and (self)respect, the book also shows certain specific elements of Slovenian and Yugoslav development of the European countries after the Second World War.
The authors of the volume ('From May ’68 to November ’89: Transformations of the World, Literature, and Theory') intervene in the study of the student movement’s “rehearsal” for a world revolution ...and its afterlife in the 1980s and 1990s by addressing two hitherto neglected aspects – the literary and the peripheral. They consider the roles played by the (semi-)periphery of the modern world-system, on the one hand, and modernist literature and theory, on the other, in transforming the existing world order in the fields of culture, politics, economy, and everyday life. How were critical theory and neo-avant-garde literature in the world, in Slovenia, and in Yugoslavia intertwined with the student protest that advocated the transformation of the capitalist world-system and its socialist counterpart? The monograph focuses on the processes that connected the events of 1968 and 1989 in the social, literary, and theoretical spheres in the sign of continuity and turning points, and at the same time defined our contemporary world.
This article contradicts Slovenian public opinion that asserts there is no tradition of second-hand clothes stores in Slovenia. It briefly demonstrates that second-hand retail clothing has a long ...history in the country that was interrupted for a few decades following the 1960s. In addition, the article reflects upon the question of why “socialist mentality” or more precisely, a “specifically Slovenian socialist mentality” is publicly perceived as the main reason for the contemporary lack of such a retail sector. According to the author, it is not unimportant that such mentality is most often ascribed to marginal and lower social strata who supposedly link second-hand clothes with poverty, thus sustaining their premodern (“socialist”) notions. However, public perceptions of the modernization process can only primarily hide contemporary social differences.
This book ('Company Directors under Communism. Between Ideas and Practice') is the result of a study of archival and other documentary material and interviews with prominent Slovenian company ...directors from pre-1991 Yugoslavia. It presents the basic structural characteristics and configurations of the communist socioeconomic system in which, despite ideological obstacles, Slovenian entrepreneurship and company directors developed after 1960.
