20.500.12556/RUL-176628 Cultural exchanges through translation between Slovenia and Montenegro in the context of the (pre- and post-)Yugoslav period (1918–2023) This study examines the dynamics of cultural exchanges between Slovenia and Montenegro through the lens of translation activities before, during and after the Yugoslav period (1918–2023). It seeks to understand how historical and political changes have influenced book translation between the languages used in these two countries and what these trends reveal about intercultural communication and exchange in the region. Based on data from the Slovenian and Montenegrin COBIB bibliographic databases, our research revealed a significant divergence in translation activity, with 179 translations of Slovenian authors and 56 translations of Montenegrin authors. The data was also analysed by type of literature (prose, poetry, drama, non-fiction), by target readers (adults, children and young adults) and by three important historical periods (1918–1945, 1946–1990 and 1991–2023). The analysis revealed a strong contrast in the translation of non-fiction books. The greatest imbalance and an obvious predominance of Slovenian authors concerns the translation of specialised monographs and especially the genre of textbooks. Finally, the analysis of translation flows revealed a moderate increase in the second, Yugoslav period (1946–1990), and a significant increase in the third period (1991–2023) following Slovenia’s declaration of independence and its accession to the EU. translation book market fiction non-fiction Yugoslavia Slovenia Montenegro publishing prevajanje knjižni trg leposlovje neleposlovje Jugoslavija Slovenija Črna gora true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-05 13:30:28 2025-12-05 13:30:33 2025-12-23 03:56:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 648–676 iss. 4 Vol. 70 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 81'25"(497.4:497.16)"1918/2023" 0044-3506 10.1515/slaw-2025-0035 255578115 10.1515_slaw-2025-0035.pdf 10.1515_slaw-2025-0035.pdf 1 413E138F3E3EA4AB9538E026589CC6B7 69ebe7105684701bc7a4ee43a3ecfb26d98441ef8b9adb4feba65896518e2437 1d07daf0-d1d6-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223094 https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/slaw-2025-0035/html 1 cde481e5-d1d5-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=223093 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
