Razpotja (Slovene for Crossroads) is a Slovenian quarterly cultural magazine, part of the Eurozine network of European magazines. [1]

Contents

History and profile

Razpotja was founded in the autumn of 2010 in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, by a local association of students and young scholars of humanities and social sciences, with the aim to open a new space for public discussion. [2] It has four issues per year, providing a platform for informed non-academic debate, mostly written from the perspective of the millennial generation. [3] Each issue is dedicated to a topic of broad public interest, approached in the form of longreads articulating different standpoints. These articles are usually selected from responses to an open call for papers, thus enabling the participation of emergent authors. [4]

The magazine includes sections of contemporary debates and cultural phenomena in Europe and North America. It is renowned for its long interviews with public intellectuals, including Garry Kasparov, Timothy Snyder, Jordan Peterson, Michael Freeden, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Stuart Ewen, Padraic Kenney, Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Jean-Luc Marion, Pieter M. Judson, Simona Škrabec, Jan-Werner Müller, and Vinko Globokar. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Since 2014, Razpotja has been collaborating with young Slovenian illustrators, who contribute illustrations and visual essays relating to the main topic of the issue. [10]

As of 2021, the editor-in-chief is Martin Hergouth, and the members of the editorial board are Bojan Albahari, Peter Karba, Blaž Kosovel, Miha Kosovel, Aljoša Kravanja, Luka Lisjak Gabrijelčič, Katja Pahor, and Danijela Tamše. [11]

Since 1947, a twin town of Nova Gorica has developed on the other side of the modern-day Italy–Slovenia border. The region was subject to territorial dispute between Italy and Yugoslavia after World War II: after the new boundaries were established in 1947 and the old town was left to Italy, Nova Gorica was built on the Yugoslav side. The two towns constitute a conurbation, which also includes the Slovenian municipality of Šempeter-Vrtojba. Since May 2011, these three towns have been joined in a common trans-border metropolitan zone, administered by a joint administration board.
