Na podlagi dejstva, da je mogoče vseh sedem Cankarjevih dram razumeti kot zaključeno celoto, ki sledi idiosinkratičnemu vrednostnemu loku, je mogoče določiti ključne avtorjeve vrednote, ki definirajo ...vsako od besedil posebej. Običajno so nosilci vrednot osrednji protagonisti posamične drame, vendar je mogoče v Cankarjevem primeru ugotoviti, da imajo ženske pomembnejšo vrednostno funkcijo od moških dramskih oseb. Čeprav niso tako poudarjene kot moški in zato vselej nastopajo »v senci«, so ženske praviloma veliko jasneje prepričane in odločneje zagovarjajo vrednote, ki so tudi avtorjeve. S tega stališča je torej mogoče Cankarjeve ženske dramske osebe ugledati kot enakovredne, če ne celo pomenljivejše od moških.
Prispevek prikazuje sodobne prostorske in socialne procese na avstrijskem Koroškem in analizira položaj slovenske manjšine v pogojih postmodernega družbenega stadija. Manjšina je družbeni kolektiv, ...ki se je skozi desetletja številčno zmanjševal zaradi asimilacije. To so sprožali tako namerni asimilacijski ukrepi na eni ter vrsta dejavnikov v družbenem okolju na drugi strani. Proučujemo, kako in v kakšni meri lahko značilnosti prostorskih struktur in življenjski slog ljudi v postmoderni družbi vplivajo na pripadnike manjšine.

Using the available literature, press articles, and archival material, the author analyses the relationship of a Croatian cultural association, the Society of Brethren of the Croatian Dragon (SBCD), ...towards World War I heritage. This analysis includes the period from the beginning of World War I to the end of World War II. Since he considers the SBCD a representative Croatian cultural association in this period, the author believes that its relationship towards World War I heritage may be an indicator of the relationship of the Croatian public in general towards this war. During his research, the author noticed that this association was significantly active in all efforts whose goal was to preserve the memory of this war for future generations. After the end of World War I and the creation of the Yugoslav state, this activity almost completely ceased, and the situation did not change after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia. The author considers that there were multiple reasons for this lack of interest in World War I heritage. Firstly, the participation of Croats in the armed forces of Austria-Hungary, which was an enemy of Serbia, was politically problematic topic in the new state and therefore avoided, especially since the new state was dominated by Serbs and built on Serbian victory culture. The political circumstances were also important in this context. If this society fostered ‘soft’ Croatness until the mid-1930s, striving to find a compromise between preserving Croatian national identity and respecting the Yugoslav state framework, how can one explain that the relationship of the society towards World War I remained unchanged since the mid-1930s, when a more combative Croatian spirit had spread through the society, and especially during the Independent State of Croatia? In his answer to this question, the author proposes that the symbolism of World War I, in which Croats fought on the side of Austria-Hungary—a state that was seen as a foreign entity—did not have the capacity to support the idea of an independent Croatian state.
Z vstopom žensk na področje javne sfere in družbenih odnosov so se začela spreminjati tudi ostala področja življenja, kar je sprožilo potrebo po kulturni preobrazbi, predvsem na ravni jezika ...(Irigaray 1998, 119), ki bi ustrezno predstavljal in nagovarjal oba spola. Eno pomembnejših vprašanj, ki so si ga v povezavi s tem v času drugega feminističnega vala postavljale številne feministične jezikoslovke in jezikoslovci, je, kako lahko izkoreninjenje jezikovnega seksizma vpliva na položaj žensk in moških v družbi. Številni nasprotniki in nasprotnice jezikovnih sprememb in uvajanja neseksističnih alternativ se s predpostavkami neposredne povezave med družbo in jezikom niso strinjali, za kar so navajali številne argumente. Namen prispevka je osvetliti klasične argumente, ki so se v tuji (angleški) literaturi proti uvajanju jezikovnih sprememb pojavljali v 70. letih prejšnjega stoletja in poiskati vzporednice z aktualnimi argumenti slovenskih jezikoslovk in jezikoslovcev ter drugih strokovnjakov in strokovnjakinj. Argumente nizava upoštevajoč posebnosti angleščine in slovenščine, tj. dveh jezikov, ki različno izražata in razumeta (slovnični) spol. V tem smislu je zanimivo ugotoviti, koliko so si agrumenti proti uvedbi jezikovnih sprememb podobni (tj. so splošni in veljajo za vse jezike) in v katerih kategorijah se razlikujejo (tj. so jezikovno specifični). Glede na to, da gre tudi za dve različni časovni obdobji, nam bo informacija o podobnosti argumentov sporočala tudi podatek o zmožnosti preživetja določenih mnenj skozi čas. Cilj prispevka, pa tudi dolgoročni interes je bolje razumeti razmišljanje nasprotnikov in nasprotnic jezikovnih sprememb na podlagi poznavanja njihovih argumentov, kar vidiva kot enega od pristopov k (morebitnemu) skupnemu sodelovanju v zvezi s tovrstnimi vprašanji v prihodnje.
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.
For decades, research has been highlighting the positive impact of physical activity on health. Despite the immense efforts made by many professional and scientific organizations to raise individual ...and societal awareness about the role of a sufficient quantity and intensity of physical activity in everyday life and to increase the level of adherence, the situation is still very worrying. Even more worrying is the fact that increasingly prolonged periods of physical inactivity are insidiously and aggressively taking over modern people’s lives – at school, at work, at home, even at leisure. It is probably incomprehensible and difficult for many to accept, but physical inactivity is becoming the first and worst enemy of health in today’s society.
