The Oracle: On Fantasy and Freedom

The book contains several essays. Maja Petrović-Šteger, academic, researcher and anthropologist, discusses the political situation in Serbia and explores the limits of formal politics in bringing about social change. Manca G. Renko, historian, cultural critic, editor and essayist, reflects on the disillusionment of a generation raised on the promise of an open, liberal and united Europe. Renata Salecl, philosopher and sociologist, analyses the contemporary resurgence of end-of-the-world fantasies and the cultural, psychological and political role of oracles in overcoming collective anxiety. British philosopher, theorist and writer Sadie Plant explores the relationship between demonstrations and democracy, linking historical protests to modern political dissent. In her essay, Svetlana Slapšak, a Slovenian anthropologist, historian and writer of Serbian roots, discusses the acquired rights of artists and the current state of democracy.

Reader on the 70th Anniversary of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts

Reader, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, is the principal publication with which the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC) marked the Biennale’s jubilee year. Its purpose is to complement the existing body of literature on the Biennale and to encourage new ways of reflecting on this enduring event – its past, its present, and its future. The authors of the texts place the Biennale within broader theoretical contexts, draw attention to pivotal events and significant figures, and trace the transformations in the exhibition’s development from 1955 to its most recent editions. Alongside the essays, two further elements form an essential part of the publication: the visual material, which documents events at and around the Biennale exhibitions, and the chapter Biennale in Infographics, which presents intriguing insights derived from statistical analyses of the Biennale’s rich history.
