History and profile.
"Sodobnost" was established in 1933 by a group of left liberal intellectuals around Fran Albrecht, Josip
replaced by a more pragmatic editorial board, and in 1963 it assumed its original name, "Sodobnost". The following year, the literary historian and philosopher Dušan Pirjevec joined the editorial board, raising the overall intellectual level of the magazine. During this period, the contributors and editors of "Sodobnost" engaged in a long and sharp polemic with the alternative magazine "Perspektive" (edited by Taras Kermauner, Janko Kos, Dominik Smole and Dane Zajc), which assumed a more critical stand towards the Titoist regime.
