The monograph ('From Intimism to Reism: Changes in the Literary Subject') offers new insights into key turning points in Slovenian literature after World War II. Editor Marko Juvan and the contributing authors show how, in just two decades, the literary subject changed from an “intimistic” individual expressing his emotional inner life and humanist sensibility in poetry to “reism,” an esthetic current in which the subject dissolves into things, language, and the play of signifiers. The book examines the work of Ivan Minatti, Ada Škerl, Rudi Šeligo, Saša Vegri, and others, illuminating how intimist and modernist poetry dealt with political constraints, social changes, and international trends. The monograph also touches on questions of ideology, philosophy, and the methodology of literary history. It thus opens up a space for broader cultural reflection. The work is a vital addition to our knowledge of Slovenian literature in the second half of the 20th century and its place in the world literary system.
