The Absence of Workers in Slovenian Industrial Heritage
The article points at the importance of (re)interpreting industrial heritage through the lens of workers' experiences. After identifying difficulties in shaping industrial heritage in the context of post-socialist and post-industrial transformation, it examines industrial workers' experiences of the closure of the Mura garment factory. Industrial heritage is presented as a potential site of value creation for the labour invested, where workers co…

Avtorica se v članku osredini na izkušnje časa in časovne orientacije industrijskih delavk in delavcev po stečaju tovarne oblačil Mura leta 2009 ter na njihovo mesto v vizijah prihodnosti Murske Sobote in Pomurja.

Chiara Bonfiglioli, Women and Industry in the Balkans. The Rise and Fall of the Yugoslav Textile Sector: London, I.B. Tauris, 2019
Soon after I began writing Chiara Bonfiglioli’s book review, I realized that the text would outgrow review format. I find Bonfiglioli’s book even more inspiring as I myself have studied the memories and experiences of women textile workers in Slovenia, one of the former Yugoslav republics, for the past twenty years. My study focused on Slovenia, but I interpreted my findings in a broader, comparative framework. As a social anthropologist, I am in…
Anthropological perspectives of solidarity and reciprocity
The concept of solidarity is ambiguous: it includes mechanisms of taxes and redistribution, charity, altruistic contributions and political support, social policy, concessions, grants, funds, food, clothes, social entrepreneurship, sponsorship, NGOS, etc. Communitarianism, equality and progress are their ideological pillars. Solidarity in mass culture is a form of ideational and tangible redistribution. Sociology based on the Marxist tradition ha…
Creativity in Production and Work: Experiences from Slovenia
This article deals with creativity in Slovenia in relation to production and work. The focus is on depicting social environments that configure ideas about creativity and the narratives of experiencing it. The author explores creativity in relation to entrepreneurialism, innovation, social concern, and social experimentation. The article addresses ethnographic material, public discourse, and contemporary media (social media, TV, and newspapers). …
On the Road to Modernity: Textile Workers and Post‐socialist Transformations in Slovenia
This article explores how processes of transformation since 1989 have affected textile workers' lives in Slovenia. I am concerned with the way in which the changes in politics and society as well as people's changed reference frames have served to redefine textile workers' perceptions of the socialist past and their current understanding of both working and broader living environments. The legacies of socialism are presented within the framework …
