Elective subject - 6 ECT,   starting 24. 2. 2022

The course Slovenian History, Culture, Literature and Society has been created with particular focus on the foreign/Erasmus students who arrived in Slovenia in order to finish either a semester or, alternatively, commence full studies at the University of Primorska.

In both cases, Slovenia, a relatively small but not insignificant country, turned into their more or less temporary home base whose treasures they will be most able to collect by getting to know it more than only superficially.

These lectures attempt to present students with a thorough introduction, a full-scale portrait of Slovenia, i.e. from its geographical idiosyncrasies and principal historical milestones to its rich artistic and, more widely, generally cultural features such as architecture, music, both older and contemporary, painting, literature, film and theatre, cuisine, sports, media, famous Slovenians etc.

Since all these aspects will be put in comparison with and treated in the (Central) European context, students will be able to establish rapports with their own countries of origin and, more broadly, Europe as a whole.

In addition to the above mentioned information, a particular emphasis will also be placed on specific forms of both Slovenian national character and language.

Thus, it is the lecturer’s hope that through these lectures the students will be able to more profoundly comprehend their temporary place of residence and, hence, lay suitable groundwork for a life-long friendship with the country, its people and its culture.

Requirements of the course are quite empathetic – in addition to a stress-free examination at the end of the course, an important form of participation will be the students’ participating in lectures with their questions and comparing their own newly acquired experiences to those from their colleagues.
