Tako zgodovinsko kakor tudi konceptualno je svoboda izražanja ena izmed osnovnih državljanskih svoboščin, ki jo povezujemo s sodobnim pojmovanjem državljanstva, kakor tudi eno najpomembnejših načel ...demokratične družbe. Članek identificira različne funkcije, ki jih povezujemo s svobodo izražanja, in predstavi z njo povezane osnovne interese. Sledi analiza omejitev oz. mej svobode izražanja in s tem povezana problematika sovražnega govora ter predstavitev nekaterih razsežnosti pravne podlage obravnave sovražnega govora. Razprava se ukvarja z vprašanjem, zakaj sovražni govor predstavlja mejo svobodi izražanja, nato pa je predstavljen predlog uporabe konceptualne analize pri prepoznavanju in definiranju sovražnega govora. V sklepnem delu so predstavljeni nekateri temeljnih ugovorov zoper svobodo izražanja in sovražni govor.
Članek obravnava danes še kako aktualno vprašanje trajnostnega razvoja in meje rasti znotraj prevladujoče paradigme stalnega gospodarskega razvoja. Človeštvo se je znašlo pred težko odločitvijo, kako ...naprej, saj se nekatere posledice sedanjega antropocentričnega in netrajnostnega razvoja odražajo tako na naravnem okolju kot tudi na družbi. Ne glede na občasne gospodarske krize pomeni dosedanji gospodarski razvoj resno grožnjo prihodnjim rodovom, in to ne le človeškim. Zakon entropije je univerzalni zakon vesolja, ki mu tudi človek na Zemlji ne more ubežati. Dokazano je, da je večji del posledic, ki jih v okolju zaznavamo danes, antropogenega izvora, kar ne nazadnje potrjujejo tudi mnoge študije. Očitno je torej, da bo človek moral spremeniti del svojih ravnanj, predvsem pa temeljito premisliti svoj odnos do stalne gospo- darske rasti ter njenih dobrih in slabih posledic. Je morda rešitev nova ekološka etika, ki ne bo antropocentrična, ampak predvsem intrinzična – torej etika, ki ji trajnostni (uravnotežen, sonaraven) razvoj ne bo cilj, ampak sredstvo za dosego cilja? Bo morda pot do etike, ki bo odgovorno ravnala z okoljem in vsemi živimi bitji, krajša, ko bomo izkušnje starejših generacij prek ustreznega izobraževalnega koncepta prenašali na mlajše rodove? Morda. Na srečo so ti rodovi, ki so še kako dojemljivi za »novo« okoljsko/ekološko etiko, že med nami, saj vse skupaj povezuje usoda tega časa in prostora. To ni le naša osebna pravica in dolžnost, temveč, kot je razvidno iz članka, nas k odgovornemu ravnanju z okoljem obvezujejo tudi številni mednarodni dogovori.
The monograph presents different names of Piran Bay (Slo. Piranski zaliv) over time. Despite the leading onomastic topic, the publication is designed as a regional-geographic review of Piran Bay and ...its hinterland, where all the main physical- and socio-geographical characteristics are presented. This book describes the basic hydro-geographic characteristics of Piran Bay as a part of Gulf of Trieste and the Adriatic Sea. The monograph talks about the historical development, salt making in Sečovlje salt pans and the circumstances that led to the now more than two decades-long border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. A significant chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the different naming of the Bay of Piran through time. According to the chronological order, 104 different cartographic sources present the name changes of the Piran Bay through time and when a certain specific geographic name appeared. Based on media analysis, one of the chapters describes the relation between the names Savudrijska vala or Savudrijski zaljev (Savudrija Bay) and Piranski zaliv or Piranski zaljev (Piran Bay).
A cultural landscape is simultaneously a complex phenomenon and a process~it is a medium and a result of human activities and perception. This monograph is based on a postmodern view of the landscape ...and it understands the landscape not only as a physical phenomenon, but especially as a social and cultural document. Reading this document discloses the layers of meaning and processes that comprise it. This study examines the understanding and perception of the spatial effects from the history of Slovenian Istria in the twentieth century. It does not deal with direct changes in cultural landscape features, but rather with people’s relationship to them, and so social representation theory is used to represent landscape as a complex phenomenon. The focus is on representations of the landscape and history, such as their appearance in various literary, professional, and scholarly texts. Any literature can be a source for scholarly study and can enable the creation of new geographical knowledge and awareness.
Kalejdoskop goriške preteklosti, zgodbe o spominu in pozabi ('Kaleidoscope of the Past - Memories and Forgotten Stories from the Border') is a story about lives of the people living along the ...Slovenian-Italian border. In this area, the idea of the border is manifold, it is a state border, a territorial border, a temporal border between what had happened and the interpretations of past events today. The author discusses the divisive past and the seemingly uniting present permeating the area. She tells a story about the city Gorica, to which both Italians and Slovenians lay claims, a story about the struggle for redemption and freedom, about people who stroll along the same river, shop in the same shops and eat indulge similar cuisines. Still, they manage to retain a thin line of differentiation, a mentally construed abyss invariantly fortifying the distance. Since 2007, the border is visually gone yet it remains the criterion of spatial differentiation and identity formation, the founding stone of respective communities.
