Kniha není robůtek, který za vás umyje nádobí… O etnologickém výzkumu, pozapomenutých slovanských muslimech a mezinárodní kontraurbanizaci na balkánský způsob: Rozhovor s bulharským etnologem Ivajlem Markovem
A book is not a little robot that will wash the dishes for you… On ethnological research, half-forgotten Slavic Muslims, and international counter-urbanization, Balkan-style: An interview with Bulgarian ethnologist Ivaylo Markov

Summary/Abstract: Ivajlo Markov (b. 1983) is a researcher at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. His research interests focus on two main areas: migration and cultural heritage. Over the years, his fieldwork has taken him to several countries in Southeast Europe. In addition to Bulgaria, he has worked in North Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Serbia, and Slovenia, enabling him to engage with people from diverse ethnic, cultural, and social groups—some of which transcend state and national borders. Within the field of migration studies, he focuses on historical migration patterns and their reflection in contemporary migration dynamics, the role of financial and social transfers in processes of sociocultural transformation, and transnational family and kinship structures and relationships. He also examines how natural and cultural objects and elements are transformed into "heritage" and integrated into local and cross-border development strategies, including through ecotourism.
