This chapter analyzes three reenactments by the Slovenian director Janez Janša, two reconstructions of experimental performances made under communism in Ljubljana during the late 1960s and early 1970s by poets and performers associated with the Pupilija group, and one which subversively reappropriates canonical contemporary dance works from the United States, Germany, and Japan. The two earlier works, it argues, interrogate the utopian ideals espoused by the communist partisans who freed Yugoslavia from German occupation during World War II. It develops a framework for this analysis by drawing on Walter Benjamin’s discussion of the philosophy of history and on Michel de Certeau’s work on memory and the everyday. It places the three reconstructions in their social, historical, and political context and evaluates their meanings in relation to misperceptions about art in post-communist countries.

I am, naturally, greatly honoured to have been invited by the Royal Institute of Philosophy to organize and conduct their lecture series on American Philosophy. It has been an interesting if trying experience, and I must say that the process of organizing it has given me a special respect for the patience and administrative capacities of those who have the task year in year out. Of course there were special difficulties in the way of importing so many people from the United States (especially since the Institute does not have the funds needed to bring them over), but if the series was to be on American Philosophy—whatever that is—it seemed especially appropriate that the lectures be given predominantly by Americans who have made a special study of the subject— again, whatever that is. We may, of course, end with the conclusion that there is no such distinctive subject, and that the name ‘American Philosophy’ is as nominal as a name can be, but that, we should note, is something to be found out, not a conclusion dictated in advance.

This paper investigates the determinants of fresh and processed mushroom consumption in the United States by employing the zero-inflated ordered probit (ZIOP) model. The ZIOP model accounts for excessive zero observations and allows us to differentiate between genuine non-consumers and individuals who did not consume during the given period but might under different circumstances. The results indicate that the market for fresh mushrooms is larger than that for processed mushrooms. However, the market for processed mushrooms has a larger portion of potential consumers which might indicate more potential if appropriate marketing strategies are applied. The results also suggest that the decisions to participate in the market or not and the consumption frequency are driven by structurally different factors. A comparison of the ZIOP to other models is included to show the advantages of allowing for non-consumers and potential consumers to be analyzed separately.
