This article first identifies various anti-women declarations in Bartol's prewar short prose, and then seeks to answer the following three questions: (1) Were these also the personal views of Bartol himself? (2) Where did Bartol adopt the majority of his anti-women views from? (3) Is the message of Bartol's short prose also gynophobic and misogynistic? The article's main thesis is that, in the texts studied, the clear message is undermined through various narrative procedures, which relativizes the power of anti-women views.

This article compares two great poems of European peace literature. It presents the historical circumstances of their creation, but refrains from attempting to historically identify their main characters, the (divine) child (puer) and the Prince of the Feast (Fürst des Festes), and focuses on their eschatological poiesis - the versifying of what comes last at the end of time, the crown of which is peace.

To Dragotin Kette, rhythm is an essential element of poetry, therefore he rarely uses free verse (contrary to what the traditional literary history held). At the same time, his metrics is extremely diverse. He took from the traditional poetry and folk song everything that was irregular: the irregular syllabotonics and tonics, the interplay of syllabotonic and tonic verse, and the impure rhyme. He also did numerous innovative experiments with syllabotonics, e.g., unregulated interplay of triple meters, regulated interplay of iambs and trochees, unregulated interplay of double and triple meters, mixing syllabotonics with tonics in lyric poetry (but unlike the 19th-century poets, not in epic poetry).

The article synthesizes scientific knowledge on constructivist elements of Kosovel's poetry proposed by Janez Vrečko in his latest book Constructivism and Kosovel and recent neuroaesthetic discoveries on the working of human perception (Semir Zeki) and on reading perception (Jaana Simola). Kosovel's poem "Spherical Mirror" entails seven constructivist principles and nine constructivist elements. Furthermore, some of them have a specific neuropsychological function. The comparative analysis shows that these neuropsychological functions support and help to construct the meaning of the analyzed poem.
