Book series
The collection Temeljna dela [Fundamental works] has brought public translations of basic texts by authors of critical thought such as Foucault, Chomsky, Bourdieu, J. S. Mill, C. S. Pierce, Kantorowicz, Deleuze, Arendt, and Beck. Another book series, Kratka [Short], was launched in 2007 in cooperation with the Oxford University Press – selected titles from the The Very Short Introduction series bring theoretical introductions to various topics from history to humanities, natural science, religion, etc. for wider public.
Events
Krtinaalso organises public forums on topics closely related to its publishing programme. They support critical reflection on actual social issues and form the theoretical contextualisation for Krtina's translations in Slovenian language. Some of the forums are co-organised with local partners such as Kvarkadabra, Society for Explaining Science, SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, the Department of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, and others.
