Full textAbstract:
A significant factor in the history—and one of the bones of contention in the historiography—of the Slovene minority in the Austrian province of Carinthia is what is known as theWindischentheorie.This pseudoacademic “theory“ was developed, on the basis of popular beliefs, during the interwar years and promulgated by those with fascist, later Nazi, sympathies and was an apparently very effective weapon in the Germanization process. The Windischentheorie changed over time; according to what may be called its “canonical” version, the language of the Carinthian Slovenes was quite different from Standard Slovene and the Carinthian Slovenes themselves were therefore ethnically distinct from Slovenes in Slovenia. Other versions of the “theory” are described below. The meaning of the wordWindisch, which had been used by German speakers to mean “Slav” for many centuries, was thereby changed radically and with important political effect.

The Slovene-speaking minority in Austria—when compared with many other linguistic minorities in Europe—is in an enviable position. Superficially, its minority rights are both constitutionally guaranteed and, for the most part, legally enforced; in the province of Carinthia/Kärnten/Koroška (the home of nearly all the minority; see Map 1) bilingual education is available in many communities at the primary level, and there is a thriving bilingual secondary school; Slovene is officially used in many offices and churches, and can be heard in many shops and on many street corners; there are two weekly newspapers. The picture below the surface is not quite as pleasant: there is anti-Slovene discrimination in several forms, and the pressure on minority members to Germanize themselves is strong; in particular, it must be emphasized that although the minority enjoys virtually full support from the federal government in Vienna, the provincial government in Carinthia has seldom been as favorably disposed. Still, most of the other minorities in Central and Eastern Europe can only dream of living in conditions like those of the Carinthian Slovenes.

This article presents a historical overview of the teaching of the Slovene language and the present-day organisation of minority schooling in Carinthia, Austria. It presents the facilities that exist for teaching Slovene, various approaches and models of bilingual education in minority educational institutions, and the use of Slovene as a language of instruction as well as a language taught in these institutions. The article wishes to draw attention to the current situation of Slovene speakers in Carinthia and presents the reasons for which the mission of the minority school is nowadays different from what it was originally meant to be.

Much research has been done on the first quarantine period in 2020, however little is known for what it concerns distance learning in Italian schools with Slovene as language of instruction. No extensive research explored teachers’ and students’ perceptions of this distance learning period, nor analyzed their opinion about positive and negative aspects of online learning, especially those related to the teaching material in Slovene language, which should address the Italian program. The present article presents the analysis of online semi-structured interviews that involved 15 high school teachers and 15 students who teach or attend Italian high schools with Slovene as teaching language, and it aims to answer these questions. We found that teachers and students preferred face-to-face classes, since they faced several issues connected with distance learning, such as a lack of interaction during distance learning, technology and connection problem, health issues and psychological distress. High school teachers and students faced less problems than those reported by primary schools’ pupils and teachers, since they are older and more independent than primary school pupils. High school students did also communicate through several social applications and peers might have helped them to overcome the language obstacles.

AbstractThe contribution presents findings from the research on a constitution of new ethnic identities in Alps-Adriatic region. The key question dealt here with was to which extent the recent demographical processes impact the peripheral, mountainous, and ethnically specific cross-border region between Slovenia and Italy. In lay and professional discourse there is still omnipresent mentality of extinguishing Slovene minority in Italy. Applying various demographical methods the article resolves the demographical processes and quantifies the extent of the local Slovene speakers. The author argues that the recent demographical processes of heavy depopulation tend to stabilize towards stagnation. Depopulation is stronger in the Slovenian part of the region, though the traditional Slovene-speaking areas in Italy aren’t as threatened as the adjacent Friulian areas. New migration trends along with the generally low fertility contribute to changes in traditional dualistic structure and bring refreshment to remote parts of the border region as well.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the presented research was to investigate whether Slovene hotels that have a business strategy and strategic management accounting are more successful in comparison with those that still do not have a long-term business strategy and strategic management accounting.Hotels that have a business strategy and strategic management accounting are expected to be more successful in comparison with those that still do not have a long-term business strategy. Questionnaires were distributed to the management of selected Slovene hotels. The Slovene budgeting practices were assessed in Slovene large hotels, which have more than 100 rooms. The analysis was performed at the beginning of the years 2004 and 2008, respectively. Budgeting practices in Slovene hotels were assessed by analyzing the extent to which managers used strategic management accounting and the extent to which business strategies were implemented. The analysis provides evidence that hotels with a long-term business strategy are more successful than those that that have a short-term strategy, or are even without one. Although an improvement in the field of continuous budgeting in the five-year period can be ascertained, only a minority of Slovene hotels uses standard cost as a basis for budgeting. This was the first study that ascertained discrepancies between Slovenian budgeting practice and foreign best practices, which is undoubtedly of great interest for decision-makers on the level of individual hotel.

Full textAbstract:
In 1920, the native Slovenian lands of southern Carinthia were included into the Austrian Republic, and the Slovenian population fell under the jurisdiction of the state, the official language of which was German. Under these conditions, literature in the native language became an important factor in the resistance against assimilation for the Carinthian Slovenes. However, decades later, the national protective function of the artistic word gradually came to naught. The contemporary literature of the Slovenian minority in Austria is a special phenomenon combining national and polycultural components and having two cultural and historical contexts, two identities - Slovenian and Austro-German. In aesthetic, thematic, linguistic terms, this literature is so diverse that it no longer fits into a literature of a national minority, and can no longer be automatically assigned to only one of the two literatures - Slovenian or Austrian. A variety of works, including proper Slovenian texts, hybrid bilingual forms, and compositions in German, of course, requires a new research methodology that would expand existing approaches and could cover the literary practice of those who create a panorama of Carinthian reality, which is in demand both in Slovenia and in Austria.

Full textAbstract:
This paper will strive to show that Christian values can be found in almost every constitution in the western world, although explicit invocations of Christian values are quite rare. There are constitutions that use invocatio dei and those that create state churches, but such constitutions represent a minority among constitutions. Croatia and Slovenia make good models for the purpose of this paper as they represent very similar and, at the same time, very different states with regard to the chosen model of state-church relations. The paper will show that, notwithstanding their different constitutional setup of state-church relations, Croatian and Slovene constitutions do not differ much with regard to the presence of Christian values in them.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses the question of weak translation activity in bilingual settings. It presents an analysis of the situation in the city of Trieste and its surroundings, where a substantial Slovene minority has lived for centuries alongside the Romance-speaking (mainly Italian) population as well as various other smaller ethnic groups. The Italian and the Slovene communities have had different histories and at various points conflicts between them have arisen, sparked by national issues and complicated further by political circumstances. To a large extent, the two ethnic groups have lived parallel lives, often showing only minimal interest in each other’s culture. This has had an impact on literary translation, the output of which has been rather modest until recently, and often even more so on the reception of translated works – in spite of the city’s rich literature in both Italian and Slovene. This article seeks to identify and explore the nature of this translational relationship, taking into account the underlying social, political, cultural, literary, and linguistic factors. It argues that the situation began to change in the early 1990s when the asymmetries between the two ethnic groups started to diminish and the Slovene culture and language gained greater recognition, which in turn opened new prospects for translation.

Full textAbstract:
Carinthia, the southernmost province In Austria is home to two linguistic communities, a German-speaking majority and a Slovene-speaking minority. The Slovene minority is an autochthonous ethnic minority, a vestige of former Slavic groups who once populated the area of today's Carinthia. In the province, over past centuries interethnic relations have been relatively fraught, and this is also true of the contemporary situation in Carinthia. The tensions reside in a set of complex relations between the two separate linguistic communities: the largely bilingual Slovene Carinthian community and the German-speaking Carinthian community The aim of this work is to look specifically at the period 1972 to 2005 and analyse whether continuity or change has prevailed in the social, political and cultural environment of the Slovene minority within the context of Carinthian politics

Dumas-Rodica, Tatiana. "Les Les Slovènes américains : écriture et identité." Saint-Etienne, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997STET2041.
Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette recherche est de découvrir l'identité du peuple slovène à travers les écrits des émigrés installés aux Etats-Unis. La première partie est plutôt historique et vise à résumer le sens de cette aventure nationale slovène très singulière pendant laquelle les Slovènes américains connurent aux Etats-Unis une liberté "moderne" que la "vieille" Slovénie ne pouvait leur offrir. La "Cleveland slovène" est un peu comme une Ljubljana d'Outre-Atlantique qui serait née, aurait vécu et bientôt péri dans l'espace historique que les émigrants slovènes se seraient ouvert entre l'absolutisme passéiste de l'empereur François-Joseph et la dévorante société moderne qu'ils contribuèrent à édifier aux Etats-Unis entre la fin de la guerre de Sécession et la grande dépression. La seconde partie présente tour à tour les écrits slovènes aux Etats-Unis des découvreurs, des missionnaires, des auteurs de lettres privées, des journalistes et de tous les émigrés slovènes ayant pu, à un titre ou à un autre, prendre la plume. Ainsi, l'exemple du missionnaire Frederic Baraga dont nous suivons entre 1830 et 1868 le parcours : un mélange de joséphiste et de découvreur, de recteur paroissial et d'ami des indiens, d'ethnologue et de compilateur qui restera à jamais une énigme identitaire. La troisième partie évoque Louis Adamic et Frank Mlakar, deux écrivains aux destins croisés et tragiques et qui eux ne sont pas des gens ayant pris la plume occasionnellement mais bien des écrivains à part entière, des hommes plus engagés que les autres dans l'acte d'écrire, même si l'un fut un auteur à succès affichant sa foi dans l'américanisation et l'autre fruste et nostalgique de l'identité slovène. En offrant aux immigrés le mélange de possibilités inimaginables et de contraintes formidables, l'Amérique met les Slovènes dans la situation infernale de libérer et de tuer à la fois ce que la société slovène a préparé en eux. Et puisque tous les gens évoqués dans cette étude ont en commun d'avoir laissé des écrits derrière eux, ce double mouvement de devenir soi et de se faire autre peut se lire dans leurs mots et dans les vies que ces mots racontent. C'est sans doute dans cette aventure identitaire que nous trouverons la définition de l'esprit slovèneThe purpose of this dissertation is to study the identity of Slovene people through the writings of the immigrants settled in the United States. Part one is a historical account and aims at summarizing the meaning of this special national adventure of the Slovenes who in the new world discovered a "modern" freedom that the "old" mother country couldn't offer them. The Slovene's settlement in Cleveland would then stand as an American Ljubljana, a city created to live and to die within the time period shaped by Slovene immigrants between the fall of Francois-Joseph's dying absolutism and the devastating modern society which they partly contributed to build in the United States from the Civil War to the great depression. The second part deals with all Slovene writings published in the USA those of the discoverers, the missionaries, private letter authors, the journalists and all Slovene immigrants who had the opportunity to express themselves. The life of Frederic Baraga whom we follow from 1830 to 1868, a mixture between a josephiste and a discoverer, both a missionary and an ethnologist as well as a friend of the American indians, exemplifies a quest for identity. The third part introduces Louis Adamic and Frank Mlakar, two authors sharing the Slovene backround and broadly recognised as the literary authors. Adamic, first generation Slovene immigrant and an ardent follower of the process of americanisation, succeeded in becoming world famous whereas Mlakar who belonged to the second generation of immigrants displayed a frustrated and disappointed Slovene identity. The purpose of this work is to define the common spirit of the written contributions by Slovene immigrants through which we can trace the search for a new identity constantly checked by their faithfulness to their Slovene heritage

Collot, Pierre-Alain. "Le principe de non-discrimination au regard de l'appartenance nationale dans le droit constitutionnel des États tchèque, slovène et hongrois." Nancy 2, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006NAN20004.
Full textAbstract:
Le principe de non-discrimination correspond à un symbole de la transition constitutionnelle et de la mutation tant de la notion de Constitution que du sens et de la substance des normes constitutionnelles après l’effondrement de la conception socialiste du droit. Participant matériellement des principes constitutionnels fondamentaux d’Etat de droit et de démocratie, le principe de non-discrimination est énoncé à partir d’une règle constitutionnelle d’égalité et se décline sous la forme de discriminations positives de nature législative ou constitutionnelle. Et si sa formulation traduit une très forte influence du droit international conventionnel sur le Pouvoir constituant, son contenu peut être également tiré du droit international et européen des droits de l’Homme pour s’imposer au législateur. Le principe de non-discrimination peut être qualifié de droit public subjectif et de droit défensif, tandis que tout droit constitutionnel spécial forme un status positivus. Le développement jurisprudentiel du principe de non-discrimination, entendu comme prohibition des distinctions arbitraires ou respect de l’égale dignité humaine, correspond également à un contrôle de la comparabilité et de la rationalité ou de la proportionnalité de la distinction. Principe universel, le principe de non-discrimination se trouve relativisé du fait de l’adjonction du critère de l’appartenance nationale: chaque Etat a réalisé une approche distincte de la question nationale - tant au regard de la protection des nationaux se trouvant dans les pays voisins que de la définition et du statut des minorités nationales et ethniques se trouvant sur le territoire de l’Etat -, laquelle a logiquement pénétré le droit de la citoyenneté. Ces phénomènes complexes, communément fondés sur le critère de l’appartenance nationale, ont constitué autant de développements ou d’altérations du principe de non-discrimination. Finalement, si les droits économiques et sociaux restent simplement gouvernés par le principe de non-discrimination et le principe d’égalité des chances, à l’inverse, les droits culturels, éducatifs, linguistiques et politiques se trouvent non seulement protégés par le principe constitutionnel de non-discrimination mais forment également la substance des discriminations positives de nature constitutionnelleThe non-discrimination principle is one of the most important symbol of the process of constitutional transition as well as of the transormation of the concept of Constitution after the collapse of the socialist conception of rights. Resulting from the rule of law and the democracy principles, the right to non-discrimination is constitutionnaly expressed through a constitutional rule of equality and can be developed as legislative or constitutional form of positive discrimiation (special constitutional rights). Furthemore, if the constitutional formulation of the right to non-discrimination has been realised under the influnce of international and european conventions, its content has to be interpreted in the light of international law as well. Inside the domestic law, the right to non-discrimination is a public subjective right and a status negativus while a special constitutional right is status a positivus. At the same time, the non-discrimination is inseparable from the constitutional case law : a negative discrimination is always an arbitrary distinction and undermine equal dignity. In any case, the criteria of arbitrary or equal dignity require to control the comparability, the rationality and/or the proportionality of the legal distinction. In spite of this universality, the criteria of nationality imposes a form of relativity to the non discrimination principle since each State is able to develop freely its national question, to organise the protection of kin and national minorities. In the same way, the national question has substantially influenced the domestic rules of citizenship. Finally, if the social rights are simply linked to non discrimination and equal opportunity principles, the right to education, as well as the linguistic, cutlural and political rights are protected by the right to non discrimination and special constitutional rights

It is divided into three parts, the first one being dedicated to the category of verbal aspect in the Slavic languages. The second part deals with Slavic minority varieties spoken in Italy, in particular the Slovene dialects of Friuli and Molise Slavic. The third part focuses on three linguistic phenomena that are analysed from a diachronic perspective: the referential usage of the personal pronoun Vy in the Petrine era; the use of clitic pronouns in the Slavic languages; the formation of the definite article in the Slovene area based on the evidence of the Resian Catechism of the 18th century.

Full textAbstract:
Social exclusion of marginalized populations is an intractable problem of global relevance. Breaking the Exclusion Cycle develops a theory of how individual behaviors contribute to its persistence, and presents a possible solution. The book introduces the “exclusion cycle,” which consists of four parts. Antiminority culture gives rise to discrimination by members of the majority. Members of the minority anticipate maltreatment and develop survival strategies. Members of the majority often disapprove of minority’s survival strategies, ethnicize them, and attribute them to the minority as such, and not the discrimination. Such attribution errors feed the existing anti-minority culture and the cycle repeats. The empirical portion of the book is centered on the social exclusion of Roma (derogatively known as “Gypsies”) in Slovenia, which the book uses to illustrate the theory and to offer evidence that the vicious cycle can be broken. Specifically, the findings in the book suggest that Roma-led, NGO-promoted dialogue and intergroup contact strategies can help reduce non-Roma discrimination against the Roma. The empirics in the book rest on original evidence collected over twelve months of fieldwork. The centerpieces are two lab-infield experiments, one involving a trust game and one involving the public goods game administered via original videogame. The experiments capture discriminatory behavior by non-Roma and survival strategies by Roma, and are supplemented by interviews, field observations, and surveys. While the empirics focus on Roma and non-Roma, the theory as well as the implications of the findings apply to other cases of marginalized populations.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSlovenia’s highly developed system of national minority protection has several distinctive features, one of which is the existence of self-governing national communities (SGNCs) for the Italian and Hungarian communities. The model combines personal and territorial elements in an interesting way: self-governing communities can only be established on ‘ethnically mixed territories’, but they are elected solely by persons registered as belonging to the respective community. There is also a second tier: regional SGNCs, with indirectly elected members representing local SGNCs. Most of their competences (on both levels) fall under the category of ‘shared rule’, i.e. they participate in managing institutions (schools, for instance) or in decision-making by providing consent or opinion, while no state powers (for example, in education or culture) are entirely delegated to these bodies.The SGNCs are deeply entrenched in the Slovenian system of minority protection, but are often taken for granted and are rarely assessed with regard to their real impact. There is no systematic monitoring of their performance, and evidence-tracking of their work is scarce and scattered. Against this background, this paper is based on an analysis of the implementation monitoring of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM) in Slovenia, and focuses on the issues pertinent to the SGNCs that have appeared in the monitoring so far. The general finding is that, while the institutional position and the formal role of the SGNCs have been acknowledged, their concrete contribution and impact on the implementation of minority rights as indirectly stipulated in the FCNM have been addressed in a rather superficial way. Nevertheless, the monitoring documents offer a valuable insight into the issues pertinent to the functioning of the SGNCs that have attracted attention in almost 25 years of monitoring practice. This paper offers a brief overview of the most striking issues relevant to the functioning of the SGNCs and the implementation of minority rights, as documented in the FCNM monitoring.

Full textAbstract:
National minorities and their status, rights and protection are among most sensible and disputed political issues all over Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). All eight analysed nation states constitutionally recognise national minorities and at least some group-specific minority rights. The list of constitutional group-specific minority rights varies, and it is longest in Serbia, Slovenia and Romania; however, national legislators in all states have wide discretion to regulate these constitutional rights and to determine their scope and content with laws. The constitutionally protected minorities are named only in Slovenia and Croatia, and constitutions only exceptionally make difference between minorities based on territoriality or numerical concentration. The jurisprudence of constitutional courts generally reveals no particular judicial activism in this area – with the exception of the Constitutional Court of Slovenia – and courts have usually failed to conceptualise minority rights and made no proper equilibrium between minority rights and constitutional provisions protecting and promoting the nation state and dominant position of the titular nation. Furthermore, in some states, the status of minorities is tacitly still more a state security issue and less a constitutional law question.

Full textAbstract:
Under the proportional representation (PR) electoral system in Slovenia, after elections, coalition governments have formed. However, the coalition partners have also adopted a ‘dropping out from government’ strategy between elections, which in some cases has led to minority governments. This has occurred despite a frequent use of several conflict-prevention and conflict-resolution mechanisms. One such mechanism, coalition agreements, are mostly understood in terms of policy agreements. After each election in the period 1992–2000, the leading party, the LDS, signed a coalition agreement with each coalition partner. Since 2013, such coalition agreements include a mechanism of explicitly stating in coalition agreements that certain issues are to be avoided. Regardless, governments termination in majority cases happened due to different (policy or personal) conflicts within the government. Early in the period, government coalitions were ideologically mixed. This was characteristic for governments under LDS leadership from 1992 to 2004, while after the 2004 elections, the governmental coalitions were much more ideologically homogenous. Alternation between like-minded ideological coalitions (centre-left or centre-right) took place. Simultaneously, the main lines of conflict changed. In the 1990s, initially a mostly ideological cleavage between ‘transformed’ and ‘newly established’ political parties was present, while after the 2004 elections, the economic cleavage became more salient. All parliamentary parties, except the Slovenian National Party, have at least briefly participated in governments, while the Democratic Party of Retired Persons have been since the mid-1990s the party with the biggest coalition potential. Since 2011, small parties have received pivotal roles in coalition formation. Generally speaking, participation in the government has not been electorally rewarding for the political parties.

After the First World War, the Paris Peace Treaties introduced a new legal order in Europe. Guided by ideas of self-determination, nationalizing states replaced Europe’s multi-confessional land empires in central and southeastern Europe. The new boundaries of nation-states created large classes of stateless, marginalized, and minority subjects. To respond to this, international statesmen created a system of minority rights and protections to manage and protect minorities. Where would Europe’s Muslims fit in this system? Were they a minority? Were they multiple minorities? Diverse communities of Muslims living in southeastern Europe and the Middle East responded differently to these questions. Focusing on Muslims living in the new state of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (often referred to by its later name, Yugoslavia), this chapter explores how Balkan Muslim leaders combined lessons from negotiating in Serbia, Montenegro, and Austria-Hungary with new international languages of minority rights and protections to secure confessional sovereignty and property rights. Yugoslavia, alone among European states, enshrined a Shari’a judiciary in its first constitution.

Chapter 3 introduces the case of the Roma. Roma are Europe’s largest ethnic minority (10–12 million) and are derogatively called “Gypsies.” Chapter 3 discusses Roma diversity, touching on language and dialect, customs, and traditional occupations. It also offers a few examples of how varying social, economic, and political circumstances might have differently affected Roma communities throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The Chapter then introduces Roma in Slovenia, and concludes with an illustration of a Roma exclusion cycle through the lens of a murder-suicide that happened in 2011, in Novo mesto, the first of the two field sites where the data for the empirical portion of the book were collected.

New virus SARS-CoV-2 (hereinafter COVID-19) has reached the Republic of Slovenia in February 2020. On March 12th, 2020, the state has announced the epidemic. In this context, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia began to adopt different measures to protect the population and stop spreading the virus COVID-19. All local communities had to act according to the government’s decisions. In this contribution, we present an analysis of some cases and praxis in local communities. We have analysed some actions of local authorities (mayors and local councils) in the context of fighting against the spread of the virus COVID-19 among the local population. The analysis also includes an overview of local legal regulations and activities of local security authorities (local-community wardens and local community inspectorates) in the fight against the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. The minority of Slovenian communities have adopted some »special lock-down measures«. The way that these activities were legally processed is shown in the last part of this contribution.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (KSHS) of 1921 had for its goal to constitutionalize the organization of the new state, created after the end of the First World War: its organization of government, human and minority rights and freedoms, etc. and also to establish a new nation – the so called "nation with three names" or "three-tribe nation", i.e. – Yugoslavs, as the bearer of the identity of the new state. KSHS was to reconcile not only the nations with different history, mentality and language, but also nations who fought each other fiercely just until a few years back before the adoption of the Vidovdan Constitution. The constitutionalization of a unitary state in which the official language is "Serbo-Croatian-Slovenian" (which as such simply does not exist), ignored clear signals that the essential legitimacy for such state does not exist in a significant part of the country. The analysis of the political activities of the parties, their programs and the election results in the western territories of what was soon to become KSHS (especially in Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia – back then within the Austro-Hungary) shows a distinct anti-Serbian and especially anti-Yugoslav narrative since the middle of the 19th century and the political actions of Ante Starčević, Eugen Kvaternik, later Ivo Pilar and others. It is also clear that such chauvinist, extreme political standpoints, present to a far greater extent to be simply ignored, would turn out to be too much of a burden for the new state and nation, as well as for the Vidovdan Constitution itself, indirectly leading to its infamous end, declaration of dictatorship, assassination of King Alexander Karađorđević and finally the disintegration of the state and horrendous atrocities and genocide against Serbs in the Independent state of Croatia (NDH). In a certain way, the Vidovdan Constitution, due to the shortcomings in its legitimacy, traced the road to hell – paved with good intentions.
