        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism

        by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        "I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

        Le givre et la cendre

        by Samic, Jasna

        Through three diaries written at different times (around the 1940-1945 war, before and after the 1992-1995 war) by three members of the same family, Jasna Samic, torn between a tough survival in Paris where she is constantly threatened with expulsion and stays in Sarajevo where his father lived his last moments, gives us a novel about the difficult relationship between a daughter and her father, but also about exile and the rapid disintegration of Bosnian society on the eve of the war that will tear the Balkans in the 90s. An Ödön von Horvath’s sentence acts of faith in this double exile novel : “I have no homeland and of course I do no suffer of that. The concept of homeland, falsified by nationalism, is foreign to me ... My country is the mind. "   As in all the work of Jasna Samic, "Le givre et la cendre" is a double exile novel. Loving both French culture and the Balkan atmosphere, the author, when in Sarajevo, dreams of Paris and, when in Paris, dreams of Sarajevo. The painting of the economic, political and moral decomposition of Bosnian society that preceded and provoked the war and the siege of Sarajevo (1992-1995) must be a warning in these times when our old world without project sees the rise up everywhere of nationalist demons he seems to have forgotten the devastation.

        Les contrées des âmes errantes

        by Samic, Jasna

        In their modest Paris apartment coveted by the promoters, Lena sees Alyosha get drunk every night and obsessively obsessively look at his family documents. This once brilliant computer scientist, one of the most elegant men in Sarajevo, is undermined by his eternal interrogation: did his father, whom he did not know, roll convoys of death before disappearing in 1945 ? Through three diaries of Alyocha's ascendants, that of his Babushka Liza - a Russian who knew Tolstoy and escaped Bolshevism to Bosnia -, that of his mother Irina and that of his Omama Grete – emigrated from Vienna to Sarajevo –, Lena tells the family saga of her first ex-husband, remained a lover then re-married to escape the war... Crossing wanderings mingled with her own – Sarajevo, Istanbul, London, New York and especially Paris – driven by her love for art and a fierce thirst for independence, in constant quest for authenticity, confronting against the winds and tides the ubiquitous apparatchiks, the devious males, the literary impostors, the Parisian snobs, the Islamist fundamentalists at last…

        THE LOONY BIN ON THE HILL

        by SUZANA TRATNIK

        NOMINATED FOR THE KRESNIK AWARD IN 2019 (FOR THE BEST NOVEL IN SLOVENIA). THE LOONY HOUSE ON THE HILL (Norhaus na hribu) “Oh, believe me, this woman, who is still so young, did all this. She killed someone, disposed of the body and concealed it all.” This sentence in the introduction to the novel surprises us, but still does not prepare us for what follows. The main character, Ariana, whose mother disappeared when Ariana was still very little, lives in a tense, conflictive relationship with her aunt, in the remote village of Privežice. The place which, as noted by the merciless observer and commentator Ariana, appeared around the madhouse on the hill at the end of the paved road, where one of the inmates was her grandmother. What happens is not a typical love story or a typical story about getting to know oneself, although it talks precisely about this. What distinguishes this novel above all else is the lively, flowing dialogue, and the uncompromising, direct aesthetics (sometimes involving ugliness or at least uncouthness or lack of political correctness), which grabs us and takes us on a crazy adventure.

        BORIS PAHOR - THAT'S HOW I LIVED

        STOLETJE BORISA PAHORJA

        by TATJANA ROJC

        The life story of BORIS PAHOR (1913), a Slovene writer and centenarian, is at the same time a story about one of the most turbulent centuries in human history. With his clear standpoints and engagement, the author has always challenged current authorities and found himself in some of the most difficult situations of the 20th century. That’s How I Lived is also a story about Trieste and the lives of the people who moved there from rural areas, about the sad fates of Pahor’s patriotic friends and, of course, about his own Calvary through the Third Reich’s concentration camps. It offers an insight into Pahor’s private life, his first experiences of love and the first meetings with people with similar intellectual views and allies. The reader follows Pahor through his much-noticed conflicts with Slovene politicians and his activities on the international stage in favour of the rights of minority cultures. The narrative is supplemented with documents and photographs.

        THE FIRST LADY

        THE FIRST LADY

        by STANKA HRASTELJ

        THE FIRST LADY (Prva dama) This novel is a reworking, in minimalist style and condensed manner, of the Biblical story of the beautiful Bathsheba and King David. The king’s “controversial” wife is an archetypal femme fatale, who is aware of her charms also in an emancipatory sense and, regardless of the means and victims, in an almost mathematically calculating way exchanges them for a “better” life – marriage to the educated king loved by his people and through this a climb up the social ladder, a better position, and consequently better pay and independence. Although Bathsheba’s life seems like a fairy tale, inside her grows a nagging feeling of guilt. Using fate and god as an excuse does not bring her peace, but pushes her towards self-destructive behaviour.
