Book series
The collection Temeljna dela (Fundamental works) has brought public translations of basic texts by authors of critical thought such as Foucault, Chomsky, Bourdieu, J. S. Mill, C. S. Pierce, Kantorowicz, Deleuze, Arendt, and Beck.
Another book series, Kratka [Short], was launched in 2007 in cooperation with the Oxford University Press – selected titles from the The Very Short Introduction series bring theoretical introductions to various topics from history to humanities, natural science, religion, etc. for wider public.
Since its inception, the Krt (Mole) book collection has emerged as a space that enables critical reflection of social phenomena and provides a theoretical basis for absent and neglected areas. This orientation is maintained by Krt until this day, it mainly deals with the challenges posed by the new technological age, in the face of current social and political issues.
