“Rituals, customs and habits are established, socially accepted actions that elevate us above the experience of everyday life. In doing so, they persist over time and space, lose their power, disappear or new ones emerge. The monograph From Name to Memory presents an overview of past and new forms of customs and habits in Slovenia, and also describes those that occur rarely or have disappeared completely.”

You are invited to the presentation of Ambrož Kvartič's book as part of the University for the Third Age. The discussion will be moderated by Kristian Koželj.

In the Study Reading Room.
