The monograph draws attention to the gender definition of scientific work in Slovene science. The working conditions of female scientists as the most telling symptom of Slovene science, their theoretical, qualitative and quantitative factors define »the woman« as well as the status of other marginal identities. The monograph is based on the research into working conditions in science and contributes arguments and instruments needed to create non-discriminatory scientific space in which true scientific excellency will be possible.
The article reflects the use of the anthropological perspective in social work research during the years from 1987 and 2015 in Slovenia. It presents interdisciplinary case study researches of social work and anthropology field works in the area of the extinction of the proletarian tradition in the rural areas of Slovenia and of the psychiatric spacial incarceration of disabled persons and the power of stigma. The author uses the methods of auto-ethnography and visual anthropology.

Monograph is an attempt and an essay at a taxonomy of doing in social work and social care. It may serve as a basis for deliberation on social care organisation and its official taxonomy, as well as a basis for the further development of the science of social work. Social care and social work provide services, programmes, means and measures. Monograph analyses and classifies services according: the intensity of ingress into the life-world, duration, location, complexity, providers, resources, types of situations, users, purposes and modes of operation, registers and spaces of action, of contracting, funding and the ways of payment. It focuses on predicate categories of the intensity of ingress and of the matrix of welfare resources. A critique of talking registers and dispositives is highlighted and social work spaces analysed. It indicates possibilities of syntax of doing in social work and care.

The author compares the position of social work students 60 years ago, when the formal education for social workers was established in Slovenia, and their position now. Using an intersectional analysis of poverty and gender as well as a mixed methodology (qualitative approach to a questionnaire, discursive analysis of visual and written material), it shows that, parallel to increasing unemployment, decreasing income, increasing of cost of living and lowering of social transfers, the pauperisation of students of the Faculty of Social has also been increasing. These circumstances affect the choice of study and study quality as well as personal expectations related to the period after the studies. Choices made by students in such a situation increasingly reveal retraditionalisation of society, as ways of thinking are concerned. The article analyses a case of repatriarchalisation of society and sexualisation of female students and at the same time looks at a form of rebellion of female activists who are challenging economical, social and gender hegemonies.

In relation to the effectiveness and the efficiency of the Faculty of Social Work, the article focuses on two critical terms in the external environment of the faculty. These terms remain ignored in regular analyses of quality, prepared yearly by all members of the University of Ljubljana. The first aspect is the availability of financial and human resources. According to this criterion, the Faculty of Social Work is a highly efficient institution. But according to the second criterion, the impact of the faculty on social policy, the faculty has failed. The reasons for this critical assessment are analysed. They are related to adverse trends in creating state regulation in the field of social security and its users. A policy of the neosocial is being strengthened, which is characterized by redefining the objectives of the welfare state, as was established after the second world war in the European countries. In this process, there is a teleological conveying of the meaning of social rights. The article deals with the economic doctrine of neoliberalism, which is the form of this process (penetration of economics into the social field) rather that its cause.
