Članek predstavlja življenje in raziskovalno delo Branislave Sušnik, ki se je po drugi svetovni vojni najprej izselila v Argentino in nato v Paragvaj, kjer je delovala na raziskovalnih področjih ...jezikoslovja, antropologije in kulturne zgodovine staroselskih ljudstev. Osredotoča se na analizo njenih migracijskih izkušenj, povezav z domovino, predvsem pa na podobe, ki so se o njej kot izseljenski znanstvenici med Slovenci v Argentini izoblikovale v tisku.
The article addresses how Slovenians in Argentina ritualise memories of the socialist Yugoslavia. The Slovenian diaspora in Argentina was established by post-war refugees, who inextricably related ...the perception of Yugoslavia with memories of the Second World War, the communist revolution and, in particular, the post-war exile and extrajudicial mass executions. The article specifically analyses commemorations of the victims of communist violence as the central anti-Yugoslavian political ritual and argues that imageries of communism, Yugoslavia and the anticommunist struggle, all carefully ritualized in ceremonies and commemorations, not only reinforced the social memories of exile, but also catalysed the social organization of the diaspora, its political ideology, and the framework of its attitudes towards the homeland and the past.
Moving Places draws together contributions from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, exploring practices and experiences of movement, non-movement, and place-making. The book centers on "moving ...places": places with locations that are not fixed but relative. Locations appearing to be reasonably stable, such as home and homeland, are in fact always subject to practices, imaginaries, and politics of movement. Bringing together original ethnographic contributions with a clear theoretical focus, this volume spans the fields of anthropology, human geography, migration, and border studies, and serves as teaching material in related programs.
The article addresses the impact of experiences of mobilities on visual arts in the Slovenian diaspora in Argentina. It aims to explore the question of how artistic creativity is related to ...individual and collective experiences of migration, life in diaspora and return mobilities. It approaches art as processual, relational and embedded in broader social, political and cultural contexts. Hence, such an analysis facilitates not only an understanding of individual experiences and worldviews, but also of the broader conceptualisation of art within particular socio-historical contexts. It explores how artists in diaspora imagine, express and constitute their relations with the homeland and their understanding of the past. By juxtaposing their art production with their life histories and trajectories as well as broader socio-historical contexts, the article explores intersections and correspondences between mobility and visual art, and raises the question of how diasporic sociality influences artists and their works as well as how artworks in turn create sociality.
Članek obravnava družinske sirarske kmetije v Bohinju in analizira njihove ekonomske strategije v povezavi z družinsko in zadružno obliko sirarstva ter v povezavi z različnimi oblikami prostorskega ...gibanja oziroma mobilnosti. V zadnjem desetletju se je več družinskih kmetij (ponovno) začelo ukvarjati s sirarstvom, ki je močno povezano s tradicionalnimi oblikami zadružništva in pašnimi pravicami agrarnih skupnosti. Kmetije so se naslonile na tradicionalne oblike sirarstva in obenem oblikovale nove ekonomske strategije, ki zajemajo predvsem pluralnost njihovih dejavnosti – delo izven kmetije, turizem, prodaja izdelkov itd.Članek na kratko predstavi razvoj sirarstva v Bohinju, spremembe v zasebni oziroma zadružni organizaciji dejavnosti, predvsem pa izpostavi gibanje in pletež poti, stez, cest in krajev, ki so temeljno povezani s sirarsko ekonomijo. Pri tem poveže različne prakse gibanja, med njimi dnevno pašo ob vaseh, pastirstvo, pašo na planinah ter prodajo sira in mlečnih izdelkov na tržnicah in sejmih. Skozi analizo gibanja članek poveže ekonomske strategije sirarskih kmetij, modelov zadružništva in zasebne produkcije ter konceptualizacije in organizacije prostora – zlasti poti, planin in drugega pašnega okolja.
This article explores visual arts and literature in the Slovenian diasporic community in Argentina, founded by post-World-War-II refugees who fled Slovenia at the end of the war and the beginning of ...the communist revolution in Yugoslavia. Based on the ethnographic data collected among the Slovenes in Argentina and biographical interviews with selected Slovene artists, the article addresses how art and cultural production in the diaspora, imbued with social memories and themes of war, violence, mass executions in the post-war period, and exile from the homeland is encompassed in three levels of cultural policies: (a) an Argentinean framework of cultural pluralism that integrated migrant communities into the national identity and narrative, allowing them to preserve and express their ethnic and cultural backgrounds and identities; (b) a diasporic level that institutionalized specific themes important for diasporic ideologies, some explicitly related to violence, exile, and mass executions; and (c) a transnational level that facilitated the integration of artists from the diaspora into Slovenian and international “art worlds”. These cultural policies were often contradictory and required artists to shift between inclusion in the Argentinean art domain and the diasporic one, which favored partial social exclusivism.
Prispevek obravnava umetniško in kulturno produkcijo v povojni slovenski skupnosti v Argentini, posebej pa likovne umetnike in načine, kako se njihov odnos do spomina na begunstvo in domovino ...vzpostavlja v umetniški in kulturni produkciji ter kako z umetniškim delovanjem sooblikujejo in reflektirajo diasporično socialnost. Umetniška in kulturna produkcija ima veliko afektivno in simbolno moč, ki se kaže v ohranjanju spominov in odnosa do preteklosti, begunstva in domovine. Na umetniško delovanje pa vplivajo tudi argentinska, diasporična in transnacionalna kulturna politika.
This article addresses issues of past and ongoing memorialization processes and heritage construction of the First World War, integrated into the landscapes of the Julian Alps in Slovenia. According ...to Nicholas Saunders, military histories usually consider landscapes to be inert, static, empty, and self-evident backdrops to military action as well as subsequent practices of memorialization. However, many anthropologists, geographers, and archaeologists have noted that landscapes cannot be separated from human experiences, but are part of a world of relationships, memories, and histories.
This article explores connections between the military and post-military landscape and memorialization of the First World War, established through landscape features, experiences of the landscape, and commemorations by institutions that engage in interpretation and heritage production. Various landscape attributes, such as paths, monuments, and memorial places, are being (re)constructed as tourist and hiking destinations, and the narratives attached to these places are integrated into national and local political discourses and commemorations. Drawing on recent anthropological discussions on the perception of landscape, this article focuses on the Isonzo Front and particularly its background as palimpsest of overlapping spatial changes as well as memorialization and appropriations of heritage in the Alpine landscape.
