  • Je slovenska kultura tudi evropska kultura?
    Poniž, Denis
    A. Debeljak bases his theory on the premise that "only a nation with a clearly formed identitly.... can take up challenges and withstand influences from abroad". This is an imporatant point, as up ... until 1991, the Slovene nation was considered by many as having neither its own national history nor statehood, having formed its identity within the framework of larger meta-national political and ideological structures. Of these, Austria, the Kingdom of the Slovenes, Croatians and Serbians, i.e. the first Yugoslavia, had a significant influence on Slovenia. After 1991 there was new approach to the preservation Slovene national identity, based on the relaisation that we alone are responsible for the nation's welfare and its cultural image. Grew new collective sensitivity regarding issues of language useage, national symbols and other ecplicity national traits and characteristics. Yet the issue of integration into the EU does not only touch upon Slovenia's identity, its specific culture and the characteristics of its social and historical development, as, in entering the Union, we are stepping into a "post-modern" world, one which has been emptied in a Nihilistic way, a world which heralds the "death" of numerous institutions including that of the nation.
