This article deals with the concept of class and class analysis in sociological research in the last few decades in Slovenia. It reveals the specific reasons for the relatively marginal role of this sort of analysis before and especially after 1990. First, it lists a selection of the key class and stratification studies during the communist era. Second, it describes the class and stratification studies that occurred before and around the regime change (1980-1991). Third, it describes a number of stratification research studies after 1991 (to the present), with many international components. The research efforts of a few influential research groups in Slovenia that have engaged in class and stratification studies, following special approaches, are presented and commented on: the Marxist tradition, a Bourdieuian approach focusing on symbolic discourse, and a structurally based labor process approach. In the conclusion, both a substantive and methodological account of relative achievements in the field are offered.

The paper is about Artful making, a concept of artistic creative and innovative processes of work. Using a combination of abstraction, the descriptive causal non-experimental method and theoretical accounts of innovation, art, management and organization, we study the epistemological basis, the differences and the relation of the arts and business. The concept of Artful making is consistent with the epistemological attempts to exceed rationalism as the dominant epistemological framework of understanding of knowledge and the process of its creation. Theoretical discussion is combined with presentation of applicable organisational and management principles such as collaboration, trust, interdependence, play, preparation and freedom that are used by artists and often neglected in modern management and organisations. Thus the paper presents a detailed research of creative artistic work and proposes its specific principles and methods to the business world.

This article explores the global mass assembly movement Occupy, focusing on its redefinitions of democracy and political membership. In a way, the so-called Occupy Movement imagined new concepts of democracy and political membership worked out on a more manageable scale, that is to say, within local communities. We build on the recent scholarly attention given to the notion of nonstate spaces, which we chose to call exilic spaces because they are populated by communities that voluntarily or involuntarily attempt escape from both state regulation and capitalist accumulation.
