This book examines how an academic concept of gender can become a mobilizing tool for, and the target of, social movements. This collection is a transnational and comparative attempt to better understand anti-gender mobilizations in Europe. It focuses on national manifestations in eleven European countries, including Russia, from massive street protests to forms of resistance such as email bombarding and the populist use of social media. The book is currently being translated into French, parts of it will be translated into Spanish and Portuguese.

COBISS.SI-ID: 64848738The book is part of the project "We include and activate!", implemented by the Slovenian Book Agency, co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European Social Fund (ESF). It is a collection of ten stories of women who are serving prison sentences in the only female prison in Slovenia at Ig. In this book, the authors Milica Antić Gaber, Darja Tadić, Nina Perger, Deja Crnović and Jasna Podreka, wanted to give a voice to those who are not often heard in society, to those from the margins. With this publication, the authors made their way into a more or less unknown landscape of the prison world. They wanted to give women serving prison sentences a chance to present their (probably a slightly different) view from the inside of the prison population to the general public, which might encourage reflections and a different understanding of those who find themselves there. The authors were motivated by the desire that the wider society without the experience of imprisonment would accept these women more reflectively when they return to the routine of everyday life with the desire to live a completely "normal life".

COBISS.SI-ID: 293055232An original authorial exhibition by dr. Kaja Širok is focused on the theme of the 70th anniversary of the creation of the border between Italy and Slovenia. The exhibition narrative focuses on the phenomenon of the border, the life on the border, and various interpretations of the past (cotested histories) in multicultural enviroment. The exhibition is based on archival resources, photographs, museum objects and oral history methodology. Kaja Širok also edited a book about the period of the Allied Military Govermet, done by various academics working on the subject. In her article she explains the creation of the western Slovenian border. It is devoted to an outline of existential relations in the area of the Julian March before 1947 and, through the memories of the inhabitants, reveals the complex relations in the region during the Allied Military Government (1945-1947). The period of the AMG meant for the inhabitants a transition from shortage to well-being, an exit from poverty, and the start of a new, post-war life. At the same time, the new temporary Allied authority brought new insecurity, national tensions and violence to the territory, which made it still possible to think that the end of the war had not brought final peace.

COBISS.SI-ID: 34521181The translation of David Harvey's monograph is one among many essential works that researcher and translator Polona Petek has rendered closer to Slovenian readers. David Harvey is one of the most prominent representatives of the critical geography, who approaches the fundamental issues of globalization through an interdisciplinary research: he addresses the questions of space, place and city, to regions, countries and continents, defining them with the help of contemporary theoretical knowledge and on the background of their historical occurrence. At the same time he points out that a certain place or location cannot be understood independently of its dialectical integration into the time dimension, therefore facing the various timeplace modalities with their inherent determinants, defined by the past, historical and cultural processes. His analysis is inseparable from the insights in anthropological, political, economic and general social relations that define our understanding of each place as the basic material assumption of a society and individuals. Harvey's approach to understanding our modern times in which capitalism, together with neoliberal ideology and its political bearers destroys whole populations and cultures, thereby causing the global ecological catastrophe, is led by practicing the “geography of freedom”, by looking for possible spaces of hope, where a radical cosmopolitan society is emerging.
