Poletni aferi kritičnih misli. Tomaž Mastnak in Dimitrij Rupel, slovenska kritična intelektualca med jugoslovansko in slovensko javnostjo v letu 1986

The purpose of the following contribution is to carry out a historical analysis of the role, significance, and position of the critical Slovenian intellectuals in the Yugoslav and Slovenian public in the last decade of Socialist Yugoslavia (more precisely, in 1986). The central focus is on the intellectuals Tomaž Mastnak and Dimitrij Rupel and their standpoints in the context of the relations between the Slovenian and Yugoslav public. For our analysis, the contents published by the media are more important than the decision-making processes in the political forums that we can follow in the relevant archival sources. We are interested in the political history of the public rather than in the history of politics as a decision-making process in the circles that wield political power.
