Kulturni svetniki in kanonizacija

The collective volume Cultural Saints and Canonization is a major Slovenian outcome of the project “National Poets and Cultural Saints of Europe: Commemorative Cults, Canonization, and Cultural Memory" (2014–2017). The introduction by the editor and project leader Marijan Dović is followed by twenty chapters, written by the eleven members of the research team (seven of them from the Institute of Slovenian Literature and Literary Studies at ZRC SAZU and three from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana) as well as by nine invited specialists in the field. The book is divided into four parts. The first part addresses the theoretical and historical dimensions of the concepts introduced in the volume (such as canonization, cultural saints, and hagiography), while the remaining three chapters focus on individual cases in the European, Yugoslav, and Slovenian contexts.
