  • Robar-Dorin's mirror : Rams and Mammoths in the context of Yugoslav history
    Štrajn, Darko
    This paper examines the historical and social context of Filip Robar-Dorin's film Ovni in mamuti (Rams and Mammoths, 1985), which revealed ethnic tensions in Slovenia at a critical time before the ... demise of communism and the looming break-up of multiethnic Yugoslavia. Robar-Dorin's film subversively reveals the ideology of national identity, and therefore does not represent a mirror for Slovenians to see themselves as they would prefer to. Instead, it is a film in which they are compelled not to miss the gaze of the other. The redefined Slovenian national identity as a notion of democracy before the process of significant social and political changes had begun. However, the success of both Robar-Dorin's film and the political alternative was mitigated significantly in later political events.
