The author examines a historical case of forced migration that is well documented in national migration research but still lacks specific insight into the conditions of entrance for post-World War II Slovenian refugees and their settlement in Argentina. The author explores the refugee path of Bara Remec and her family, from exile in May 1945 to their settlement in Argentina in 1948. The subjective experience is juxtaposed to the official Argentinean immigration policy of that time, especially conditions of arrival and settlement, with a focus on political, ideological, and religious factors, as well as Argentina’s then-central political decision-maker, Juan D. Peron.

After World War II, the economic development of Goriška and Nova Gorica focused on strengthening industry in line with Yugoslavia’s general orientation toward accelerated industrialization. The first reconstruction period (1947–1956) saw growth on the foundations of modest prewar industry and crafts. Later, in 1957–1969, the emphasis was on overcoming the earlier development anomalies, on creating a more harmonious and diversified development, in which the previously neglected economic sectors (agriculture, construction, transport, trade, crafts, tourism) took priority, and on more quickly developing the new industries that emerged after the war. As a result of severing ties with the Italian political and economic unit and acceding to Yugoslavia, the territory and economy of Goriška experienced significant migratory dynamics. This migration influenced and shaped the post-war development of Goriška’s economy and the newly founded Nova Gorica—the new administrative-political, economic, and cultural center of Goriška.

Slavenka Drakulić (1949) is a renowned Croatian journalist and writer who started her professional career in Croatia but later gained popularity in other European countries and the United States, where many of her books were published. Her writing has been marked by social criticism and feminist traits. The article focuses on her works that point to questions of social (in)equality and the marginalization of certain social groups or even nations. Moreover, her works expose the position of women in society and shed light on migrations, whether through the images of refugees from crisis zones or migrations from Eastern Europe to the West for political and economic reasons.

The paper discusses folk and folk-pop music from the perspective of the development of their symbolic meaning for the immediate and wider community. The migration of ascribed meanings and moral and aesthetic values from one era to another, from one community to another, or from one social class to another is the focus of the observation of these two musical genres, which link a number of dichotomies. If folk music played one of the most important nationally representative roles in the 20th century, in recent decades, folk-pop music has begun to play this role alongside folk music, as state policies have begun to accept it as part of their agenda, thus legitimizing it as a symbol of national representation.
