The following article discusses the Jewish presence in medieval Maribor from the 10th century to the expulsion in 1496. The discussion starts with the phenomenon of »Jewish villages« in the area of ...South-Eastern Alps in the framework of which also the appearance of the Jewish community of Maribor after 1200 should be understood. That community not only turned into a major regional Jewish centre, but also developed its own version of Ashkenazi liturgical rite and in the 15th century partially served as a home for the renowned halachic scholar Rabbi Israel Isserlein. As attested by numerous Jewish and non-Jewish sources, the community had a very rich organisational, cultural and economic life that continued until the expulsion.
The article discusses the process of setting up an exhibition presenting the fragments of alternative creative practices in 1980s Maribor (Slovenia) in an art museum. Within an interdisciplinary ...approach – art historical, museological and anthropological, which is in focus here – I try to understand how such a heritage of alternative creative practices is constructed and produced. Furthermore, the question of the anthropological potentiality of exhibition-making as a method for researching certain aspects of urban practices and development is considered. During the exhibition the art museum became a collaborative place for negotiating, mediating and constructing a heritage between an imagined community of (once) alternative individuals and collectives who participated in the exhibition, the museum staff, visitors and the media. The exhibition was echoed in some other events in the city as it also addressed contemporary artistic, cultural and social issues in Maribor.
Uvođenjem ustavne monarhije, šezdesetih su godina XIX. stoljeća dio poslijediplomskog obrazovanja liječnika preuzela liječnička društva u regionalnim granicama tadašnje Habsburške Monarhije. ...Liječnici i ranarnici u Ljubljani ustanovili su svoje strukovno udruženje u listopadu 1861. (Ärztlicher Leseverein in Laibach). Udruženje je u listopadu sljedeće godine uključilo sve liječnike i ranarnike Kranjske dežele i preimenovalo se u Društvo liječnika Kranjske (Verein der Aerzte in Krain). Slično udruženje ustanovili su liječnici Štajerske u Grazu u svibnja 1862. (Verein der Ärzte in Steiermark). Sedamdesetih godina XIX. stoljeća slična su liječnička društva pokrenuta i u Donjoj Štajerskoj. Najvažnije je ustanovljeno u Mariboru 1876., zatim u Celju (1877.) te za kotar Ptuj-Ljutomer (1877.). Društva su djelovala većinom na njemačkom jeziku pa je zbog toga 1906. u Celju ustanovljeno i Slovensko liječničko društvo Celje. Odmah nakon Prvoga svjetskog rata, 1918., ustanovljeno je Slovensko liječničko društvo. Nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, 1947., stvoreno je jedinstveno Slovensko liječničko društvo.
The paradigm of quality of life in housing depends on variousinterconnectedness functions, which satisfy not only the needsof dwellers but also the inhabitants of the city, in general. Inaddition, it ...is essential that the residential areas incorporatewell accessible and appropriately designed open public spaceand green areas. In regard to that, the chapter focuses onthe impacts of housing estate planning elements on qualityof life. Currently, open public space and green areas in thepost-WW2 housing estates are often used for other purposes,largely as a consequence of number of cars that has led toenormous parking problems. Two decades after the housingprivatization, the question of the ownership of green areasand related maintenance is often the cause of most adverseconflicts, arising from the misuse of open public space.Further, a special phenomenon, the influence of high-qualityScandinavian housing models on Slovenian urban planningand design of housing estates in the post¬-WW2 period willbe presented. The overview of multi-family housing estates inthe city of Maribor from this period raise new approach on thequality of life particularly in regard to open public space.
