Dialogi

Dialogi was one of Slovenia’s oldest cultural journals. It was published in Maribor between 1965 and 2025. Dialogi was created through the efforts of numerous generations of Maribor’s intellectuals and literati; during some periods it was predominantly a literary journal, during others it encompassed wider cultural topics.

From 1994, when Založba Aristej (Aristej Publishing House) became its publisher, it began to develop as an intellectual journal oriented towards both a Slovenian and international readership. The editorial board published and encouraged critical thought from various fields in the arts, humanities and social sciences, with special consideration for civil society, independent culture and socially engaged intellectuals.

In past issues of Dialogi, the discerning reader will find in-depth interviews with Slovenian and foreign cultural figures and reviews of domestic and international art events, including those frequently overlooked by the commercialized mass media. A particular feature of the magazine was a thematic set of articles devoted to a specific topic of current interest. In keeping with the tradition of Slovenian cultural journals, Dialogi published original and translated works of fiction in a separate section.

In April of 1999, Dialogi became the first magazine from Slovenia to partner with Eurozine.
