The article examines the Slovenian literary thematization of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Immigrants, including Slovenians, played various roles in Bosnia that were, in many ways, similar to those played by Western Europeans in non-European colonies. Typical colonial practices such as segregation and the hierarchization of cultures were lucidly identified and criticized by some authors. In confronting the Other, writers perceived themselves as a part of a superior European civilization, in which, to the exclusion of the “savage Asian Turk,” the (South-)Slavic imaginary could also be inscribed. Some authors expressed this element of (South-)Slavic inclusiveness through a specific (South-)Slavic familiarity.

Relations between the Republic of Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are close, also due to the rich history of migration between the two countries. This article focuses on the collaborative aspect between various institutions and organizations involved in teaching the Slovenian language and/or preserving Slovenian culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Particular attention is paid to the inclusion of higher education, as the teaching of Slovenian at this level came to a halt for nearly two decades following the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Keywords: supplementary classes of the Slovenian language and culture, lectureships of the Slovenian language abroad, Slovenian language, Slovenian cultural associations, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Internal migrations were relatively strong during the pre–World War II Yugoslav Kingdom; however, in socialist Yugoslavia, they significantly intensified and changed in direction and structure. Three periods of the inter-republic migrations can be roughly discerned: a) the period of pan-Yugoslav consolidation (1945–1956); b) the period of pan-Yugoslav enthusiasm (1956–1974); and c) the period of supranational disintegration (1974–1991). The so-called pseudo-voluntary migration marks each of them. The article explains the basis, structure, and causality of intra-Yugoslav migrations as well as the selectivity of migration based on ethnicity, with a special emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This review analyzes and compares scholarship on Slovenian migration to Argentina, highlighting disparities between Slovenian and Argentine academic approaches. While Slovenian researchers have examined identity, politics, and transnational ties in-depth, Argentine contributions are limited. The study includes works by migrants and descendants, showing how community narratives shape collective memory. It concludes that the literature is rich but marked by national biases, calling for more interdisciplinary, integrative research.
