Razmišljanja o zavrženih knjigah in družbenopolitičnih transformacijah v (po)Jugoslaviji

V okviru Historičnega seminarja ZRC SAZU 
vas vabimo na predavanje z naslovom 

RAZMIŠLJANJA O ZAVRŽENIH KNJIGAH IN DRUŽBENOPOLITIČNIH TRANSFORMACIJAH V (PO)JUGOSLAVIJI 

»Deideologizacija« ali »libricid«? Na podlagi bolj ali manj znanih razprav o tako imenovanem »čiščenju« knjižnic po razpadu socialistične Jugoslavije je dr. Dora Komnenović proučevala politike upravljanja knjižničnih fondov javnih knjižnic v času pretresov. V kontekstu odnosov med vpletenimi akterji so jo pri tem vodila spoznanja o postsocialistični tranziciji in spominu. Pomembno vlogo v tem prizadevanju so imele in imajo t.i. »zavržene knjige« kot analitično orodje, ki pomaga pri interpretaciji preteklosti in razumevanju sedanjosti.

DR. DORA KOMNENOVIĆ je doktorica družbenih in kulturoloških ved ter samoukinja javne zgodovine. Formalno izobraževanje je opravila v Italiji in Nemčiji, popestrila pa ga je s številnimi bivanji v tujini, med drugim tudi s študijskim obiskom na Inštitutu za kulturne in spominske študije ZRC SAZU. Raziskovalno se dr. Komnenović ukvarja z (vzhodno)evropsko zgodovino in tudi politiko spomina, s posebnim poudarkom na izginulih državah, kot sta Jugoslavija in Nemška demokratična republika. Leta 2022 je izšla njena monografija Reading Between the Lines: Reflections on Discarded Books and Sociopolitical Transformations in (Post-)Yugoslavia (ibidem-Verlag), v kateri tematizira tudi upravljanje knjižničnih zbirk v Sloveniji. Dora Komnenović je od leta 2016 muzejska docentka v Berlinu ter raziskovalna sodelavka na ZZF in v Nemškem zveznem arhivu.

Predavanje znotraj Historičnega seminarja ZRC SAZU je sodelovanje z razstavo Biba buba baja. Ustvarjanje (za) otroka socializma, 25. 5.–14. 7. 2024, Center ilustracije, Vodnikova domačija Center, Stritarjeva ulica 7, Ljubljana. Razstava predstavlja rezultate raziskovalnega projekta “Ustvarjanje modernistične prihodnosti: ilustratorke in predstave otroštva v socialistični Jugoslaviji”, ki ga izvaja Inštitut za kulturne in spominske študije ZRC SAZU.

REFLECTIONS ON DISCARDED BOOKS 
AND SOCIOPOLITICAL TRANSFORMATIONS 
IN (POST-)YUGOSLAVIA 

“De-ideologization” or “libricide”? Using the more or less known debates surrounding the so-called »cleansing« of libraries after the breakup of socialist Yugoslavia as a starting point, the lecture examines public library stock management policies in times of upheaval and the interplay between involved actors in an attempt to gain innovative insights on post-socialist transition and memory. A major role in this endeavor is played by discarded books as an analytical tool that helps to interpret the past and understand the present.
