The modern narrative
Undoubtedly the most distinctive characteristic of Zgodovina za vse is the revival of narrative. The articles are discernible by their detailed narratives or description (i.e. thick descriptions). This is so-called 'modern narrative' which contemporary historians, influenced by the findings and results of anthropology, contrast with more traditional narrative characterised as 'thin description'. Thorough and detailed case studies of various phenomena from the Slovene past form complex articles which, according to the methodology and technique they deploy, can be characterised as microhistory or micronarrative - the history of every-day life, the history of mentality, as well as the history of civilisation, habits and customs.
The journal is published with the financial help of the Ministry of Culture, the Slovene Research Agency (ARRS), and the Municipality of Celje.
Contents and approach
The journal consists of three content-based parts. The first comprises a section for real life stories and articles which are in line with the general orientation of the journal. The criteria for contributions are an academic approach supported by a rich critical apparatus in a narrative style which is neither dull nor plain. The second part is comprised of discussions concerning the theory of history as well as various polemics, while the third offers reviews of books dealing with issues and topics related to the journal's content.
The latest edition of the journal included articles and texts on: the nutrition and eating habits of the Carniola aristocracy; the history of the vehement singing societies of the Ljubljana's Germans and the pejorative term for the so-called Ljubljana shirts; the national conflicts in Primorska region and the history of sexual offences in the region of Celje in 1930s.
With respect to the above-mentioned paradigmatic orientation, the journal is on a par with similar historical periodicals in Europe. The articles are complemented by fairly long German summaries and shorter Slovene and English abstracts. The archive of the past editions of the journal is available on-line.
