[[Založba /*cf]] - Institute for Publishing and Research Activities publishes books in various fields of humanities, written by both eminent and new authors. Cf. is an abbreviation for the Latin-derived word ''confer'', meaning "compare" or "consult", and is often used in footnotes to refer the reader from one text to another. The publishing house founders chose this name because they saw all texts as interconnected and incomplete, and their aim is to introduce readers to books that transcended what they already knew.

Since [[Established::1997]] when [[Založba /*cf]] was founded by [[Zoja Skušek]] over 200 titles appeared within several series. They include translations of Althusser, Barthes, Bataille, Benevolo, Burke, Bardin, Freud, Eco, Foucault, Groys, Rougemont, Wellerstein, Veličković and Woolf, and new texts from the field of anthropology, sociology, linguistics and art history by Slovene authors such as [[Igor Zabel]], [[Borut Brumen]], [[Zoran Hočevar]], [[Vlasta Jalušič]], [[Igor Žagar]], [[Rastko Močnik]], [[Miklavž Komelj]], [[Tomislav Vignjević]], and [[Beti Žerovc]].
