The main focus of the book is the gender structuring of contemporary Slovene society and the persistence of the gender order that is produced and reproduced through gender regimes in several important fields (education, work, family life and politics). The monograph is based on the theories of field (Bourdieu), gender regimes and gender order (Connell), as well as the writings of several other referential authors in sociology, political science and educational research (Giddens, etc.). The book focuses on the delays in changes in social structures, and the persistence of existing social structures, that result, among other things, in the low presence of women in politics. The authors are convinced that the choices that individuals make in their lives are made in a specific social context in which all individuals (women and men) are surrounded with structural obstacles as well as structural opportunities. As such, gender difference is first socially produced and later universally used for justification of that stratification. In order to understand the gender structure of contemporary society in Slovenia and further afield, the authors use up-to-date empirical data and studies from various fields of life, tracking changes over a time span of 30–50 years and analysing how different rationalities have emerged through various policy papers and legislation as the position of women and men has been mapped. On the basis of all of the aforementioned approaches, structures are revealed and explanations emerge for the low presence of women in politics.

COBISS.SI-ID: 10621001In the 20th century, inhabitants of the Slovene territory were displaced by wars across numerous battlefields, in prisoner-of-war, refugee and exile camps across the whole of Europe and outside its borders. During wars states, state borders, social systems and values changed but the common wish of soldiers, refugees, exiles, prisoners and other displaced persons of war was to return home. Their personal experiences, contacts with their relatives and »stories« on their return, often real travel diaries and testimonies on war absurdity, are the basis of the exhibition narrative.

COBISS.SI-ID: 281247488The articles in this volume analyze the concept of mindfulness as understood by the social sciences and humanities (from sociology, philosophy, religious studies, philology, psychology, history); from traditional to so-called “modernistic” presentations of mindfulness. Among other issues, they highlight the problem of identity antagonism, which leads to internal and external conflicts. Special attention is given to the analysis of the concept of interdependent origination and to the (de)construction of phases of the identity formation. Mindfulness is presented as a method that allows understanding and transformation of individual as well as social conflicts on the basis of the understanding of violence as a result of the identity antagonism.
