===1950s: heavy industrialization===
In the late 1950s, Slovenia was the first of the Yugoslav republics to begin a process of relative pluralization. A decade of [[industrialisation]] was accompanied also by a fervent cultural and literary production with many tensions between the regime and the dissident intellectuals. From the late 1950s onward, dissident circles started to be formed, mostly around short-lived independent journals, such as ''[[Revija 57]]'' (1957–1958), which was the first independent intellectual journal in Yugoslavia and one of the first of this kind in the Communist bloc,<ref>[[Taras Kermauner]], ''Slovensko perspektivovstvo'' (Znanstveno in publicistično središče, 1996).</ref> and ''[[Perspektive]]'' (1960–1964). Among the most important critical public intellectuals in this period were the sociologist [[Jože Pučnik]], the poet [[Edvard Kocbek]], and the literary historian [[Dušan Pirjevec]].
