description: Travel Writing for Tourism and City Branding: Urban Place-Writing Methodologies. The monograph contributes to the professionalisation of travel writing. Its approach establishes a new connection between tourism and city branding, which will encourage new travel writers and bloggers to produce thoughtful, high-quality content. The book demonstrates that literary travel writing is a research process that an author–researcher can apply in spaces where value is created. This research process extracts, preserves and communicates that value, while also serving the writer as a tool for in-depth exploration of place. Travel writing as research is presented as a methodological practice that researchers can learn and apply in their projects, both in academic contexts and in the commercial context of city branding. Examples of literary travel writing from the authors’ research projects are examined, and their effects are further analysed. The monograph contributes new insights, also by including research findings on urban spaces obtained through this new method.

Deepfakes, Democracy, and the Ethics of Synthetic Media
type: item
description: This book presents an interdisciplinary synthesis of research findings from the Horizon Europe project SOLARIS. It systematically examines deepfake technologies as a structural threat to democratic institutions. Eight chapters integrate technological, psychometric, semiotic, legal, and political science perspectives, empirically analyzing both epistemic risks and potential positive applications of synthetic media. The authors critically examine generative neural network architectures, viral propagation mechanisms of disinformation in digital networks, and cognitive-affective factors in perceived trustworthiness of AI-generated content. The work identifies deepfake impacts on electoral integrity, epistemic erosion of public discourse, and asymmetric effects on marginalized populations. Critical evaluation of European regulatory instruments (AI Act, DSA) leads to formulation of innovative policy recommendations for systemic resilience of democratic processes. The research also documents positive implementations of synthetic media in pedagogical, cultural-documentary, and civic engagement contexts. This publication manily targets the research community, policymakers, media professionals, and technological actors.

Od filozofije poučevanja do poučevanja filozofije
type: item
description: From Philosophy of Teaching to Teaching Philosophy: Festschrift Rudi Kotnik. This scientific monograph is dedicated to Rudi Kotnik, retired associate professor of philosophy at the University of Maribor. It begins with a contribution by the honoree himself, which serves as motivation for the other contributions. The monograph is divided into three sections, reflecting his pedagogical and research enthusiasm for exploring the 'Why, What, and How' questions of the purpose of teaching and learning philosophy in a comprehensive and socially responsible manner. In the first section, the authors deal with the reasons, purpose, and justification for teaching and learning philosophy. They emphasize the transformative power of philosophy, which goes beyond critical thinking, as it leads to changes in education, the individual/self, and the world. Philosophy should cultivate cognitive virtues (such as courage, curiosity, and open-mindedness) and promote pluralism and cosmopolitanism. The second section explores answers to the questions of what teaching and learning philosophy is and what to teach and learn, specifically by focusing on the very definition and content of teaching and learning philosophy. In the third and final set of discussions, the authors address the question of how to teach philosophy. The common ground is the elements of methods based on cooperation, mutual respect, and dialogue. They emphasize that teaching and learning philosophy are also ways of doing philosophy.

Perspektiven einer Zeitschrift am Beispiel des Tirnauer Wochenblatts (1869–1918)
type: item
description: Perspectives of a Magazine Using the Example of the Tirnau Wochenblatt (1869 – 1918). The monograph offers various linguistic analyses of texts from the German-Hungarian newspaper Tirnauer Wochenblatt (1869–1918), with a focus on issues published shortly before the turn of the century. This temporal focus can be explained by language policy and the emergence of vernacular nationalism — both in Tyrnau, located in present-day Slovakia and the place of publication of the newspaper, and in the broader context of the monarchy, a time in which a strengthened bourgeoisie, as the target readership of the weekly, played a central social role. The Tirnauer Wochenblatt is examined from different perspectives: both in terms of its internal structure and its role in its contemporary context. The analyses place the newspaper partly within the context of the German-speaking minority and the German-language press in Slovakia at that time. The first part investigates the extent to which, and the ways in which, the newspaper reflects the educational discourses of the period, presents family role models, and addresses gender-specific models of roles in family and society. In this context, the monograph conducts a series of exemplary qualitative analyses that incorporate the perspective of the value system of bourgeois society. The second part analyzes a section of the newspaper that presents news from various regions of the monarchy. From the perspective of the development of text types in the press of the 19th century, the text type news report is examined, and the corpus of news items is subsequently analyzed quantitatively according to ten different parameters. This is followed by a comparison with texts from the same section that provide information from around the world, as well as a fractal analysis of the texts themselves. The investigation is further complemented by a comparison with texts of the same function from the same period in the Marburger Zeitung (1862–1945). The thir…

ZORA 159: Jezik ob meji in na meji
type: item
description: ZORA 159: Language Along and Across the Border. The scientific monograph Jezik ob meji in na meji (Language Along and Across the Border) focuses on sociolinguistic perspectives of the Prekmurje literary language, the Porabje dialect, lexicography, and the linguistic situation in the Rába Valley (Porabje). The monograph is divided into three chapters: (1) Language Along the Border, (2) Language in Dictionaries, and (3) Language Across the Border. The first chapter presents the development of the Prekmurje literary lan‑ guage from Evangelical literature to Catholic sacral writings and Ágoston Pavel’s grammar of the Prekmurje Slovene language. The second chapter comprises studies on lexicography, including the dictionary of the Gornji Senik (Felsőszölnök) dialect, the Comprehensive Hungarian–Slovene Dictionary, and Slovene geographical names in Porabje and the extended region. The third chapter presents sociolinguistic discussions on language strategies, the linguistic landscape and the status of the mother tongue (Prekmurje dialect, Porabje speech) in Porabje. Key findings of the monograph Jezik ob meji in na meji (Language Along and Across the Border) is that before the beginning of the 20th century, the Slovene language along the Rába River developed parallel with the Prekmurje variety. Porabje Slovene remains the language of everyday communication in Porabje families and among the older generations. However, to be preserved in Rába Valley region it deserves a special scinetific attention and further research.

Multilingual Communication and Court Interpreting in Slovenia
type: item
description: This book focuses on court interpreting, an interesting and upgrowing area of research in translation studies as a relatively young interdisciplinary science. Court intepreting is compulsory in asylum proceedings, police interrogations, court hearings, and healthcare when foreign citizens are involved who do not speak or understand Slovenian as the official language. This increased interest stems from the fact that recently many countries which previously had limited experience with foreign citizens are now facing increasing economic migration, which poses certain challenges and requires appropriate language policies and additional training for court interpreters. Court interpreters are experts and specialists in multilingual mediation who act as intermediaries between the court as a state institution and foreign citizens who are unfamiliar with legal and regulatory proceedures and do not understand or speak the language of the judiciary, which is in our case Slovenian. This interdisciplinary book seeks ways and means to improve cooperation between court interpreters and legal experts. The discussion focuses on the establishment and development of intercultural legal interpreting clinics, which enable training and education of future interpreters and lawyers, and the results of research in the light of the international TRANSLaw project.

Od algoritma do prava
type: item
description: From Algorithm to Law: Legal, Economic and Cultural Challenges of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence is increasingly reshaping modern society and permeating nearly all areas of human activity – from law, economics, and education to media and culture. The scientific monograph From Algorithm to Law – Legal, Economic, and Cultural Challenges of Artificial Intelligence brings together contributions that focus on the challenges, opportunities, and consequences of AI implementation in today’s world. The monograph addresses AI’s impact on cultural heritage – such as digitalization and interpretation of sensory elements like scents – as well as economic aspects and a wide range of legal issues. These include labour relations, constitutional dilemmas, liability for damages, smart contracts, competition law, criminal law, and the use of AI in judicial proceedings. Special attention is given to intellectual property law, particularly the question of who holds rights to copyright-protected works, inventions, and product designs created by or with the assistance of artificial intelligence, including questions concerning the infringement. The monograph thus explores legal, economic, and cultural challenges posed by artificial intelligence and encourages reflection on the need for more comprehensive regulation and the responsible development of emerging technologies.
