Narrative Songs about Robbers: A Contribution to the Comparison Study, Ethnological Studies, 22

Naratívne piesne o zbojníkoch: Príspevok k porovnávaciemu štúdiu, Etnologické štúdie, 22

Author(s): Soňa Burlasová / Language(s): Slovak,English

Keywords: Narrative songs; Ethnological study; Robber songs; Song collections; Slovak literature; Slovak poetry; 18th-21st century poems; Slovak folklore;

Slovak researchers have paid close attention to robber songs as a significant genre of Slovak folklore. The texts and melodies of robber songs are widely documented in numerous song collections, usually without any specific thematic classification. For example, Ján Kollár lists in Spievanky several robber songs in the section on Ballads, Romances and Fairy Tales. In his collection of ballads, K. Medvecký devoted specific sections to robber songs under the titles “Robber Songs” and “Gallows Songs” (pp. 109–122, 123–129). Horák’s selection of works of poetry, published in the same period, contains ten robber songs in volume I, section V. (The first song in this section, however, is not a robber song, which is explained in the comment). The big collector of Slovak folk songs K. Plicka focused mainly on lyrical robber songs. In his contribution, he provides examples of his own records and also presents his opinions on the melodies of robber songs. Historian J. Vilikovský5 examined the manuscript of the popular songs “O Surovec Jakubovi, zbojníkovi” (“AboutJakub Surovec, robber”), “Píseň o Jánošíkovi zbojníkovi” (“Song about Jánošík, robber”) and “Píseň o Adamovi a Ilčíkovi, zbojníkoch” (“Song about Adam and Ilčík, robbers”) which were disseminated by copying. The manuscript seems to date back to 1780. Even though these songs are artificial, there are clear relations in terms of texts and motifs between some of them (in particular the song about Jánošík) and folk tradition. Melicherčík’s book Jánošíkovská tradícia na Slovensku (Jánošík Tradition in Slovakia) should be considered a fundamental work about Slovak folklore with robber themes, just like a wide range of his studies published in journals. In these works, Melicherčík supported the perception of robber folklore as a documentation of people’s heroic, progressive and anti-feudal attitudes. This concept was later supported by V. Gašparíková who studied Michael Vdovec, a robber of regional (not national) importance, a typical representative of the robbery epilogue in Slovakia.

We Used to Live in Socialism II. Helena: A Biographic Approach to the Ethnology of Daily Life

Žili sme v socializme II. Helena: Biografický prístup v etnológii každodennosti

Author(s): Zuzana Profantová / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: ethnological research of everyday life; Autobiographical memory; Socialist everyday life; Living conditions; Rise of Socialism; Two political systems; History of education; Education in socialist system;

Problematike naratívnej každodennosti socializmu sme sa začali venovať v grantovom tíme pri príležitosti 15. výročia Nežnej revolúcie. V roku 2004 zorganizoval Ústav etnológie SAV v spolupráci s Ústavom pamäti národa medzinárodnú interdisciplinárnu konferenciu Malé dejiny veľkých udalostí v Česko(a) Slovensku po roku 1948, 1968, 1989, kde sme sa zamerali na aktuálne a mnohé dovtedy tabuizované témy vedeckého výskumu spoločnosti v období totality (dávam prednosť slovu socializmus). Výstupom konferencie bola publikácia s rovnakým názvom Malé dejiny veľkých udalostí v Česko(a) Slovensku po roku 1948, 1968, 1989. L, 11. (Profantová, ed. 2004), a tiež anglicky dopracovaná verzia Small History of Great Events in Czechoslovakia after 1948, 1968 and 1989 (Profantová, ed. 2006). V publikácii sme prevažne metódou oral history a ďalšími kvalitatívnymi metódami poukázali na mnohé problémy minulosti, ale aj transformujúcej sa spoločnosti.

Author(s): / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: bibliography; magazine Slovak Ethonology; 1953-2002; Folklore; social and cultural anthropology;

Zavŕšenie polstoročia vo vydavani Slovenskeho narodopisu je udalosťou, ktora ponukla možnosť rekapitulovať uplynule desaťročia nielen v živote tohto vedeckeho periodika, ale jeho prostrednictvom aj skupiny disciplin, formujucich sa na Slovensku od narodopisu, zastrešujuceho etnografiu a folkloristiku, k dnešnej etnologii, kulturnej a socialnej antropologii. Tieto prostrednictvom Slovenskeho narodopisu prezentovali svoje poznatky, komunikovali s vedcami z inych krajin, disciplin i s verejnosťou. Možnosť spoznať širku tem, ktore boli v uplynulych paťdesiatich rokoch predmetom zaujmu tohto vedneho odboru (bez ohľadu na jeho aktualny nazov), prehľad osobnosti, ktore vstupovali prostrednictvom časopisu do vedeckej komunikacie, i kvantitativny pohľad na ich vedecku produkciu na jeho strankach prinaša tato Bibliografia. Rovnako doležitympodnetom jej vzniku bola potreba vytvoriť komplexnu pomocku, umožňujucu vyhľadavať podľa viacerych kriterii v časopise publikovane texty ako pramene udajov a poznatkov pre ďalšie badanie. Bibliografia nadvazuje na pracu Milady Kubovej Register časopisu Slovenský národopis. Ročníky I – XXV (1953–1977), ktoru publikovala ako prilohu prveho čisla Slovenskeho narodopisu v roku 1978. Ide o tematicky usporiadanu bibliografiu prvych 25 ročnikov časopisu s autorskym registrom. Podnet na vytvorenie bibliografie 50 ročnikov Slovenskeho narodopisu vyšiel približne v roku 2002 od Hany Hloškovej, vtedajšej vedeckej pracovničky Ustavu etnologie SAV, redaktorky Slovenskeho narodopisu a sučasne externej pedagogičky na Univerzite Konštantina Filozofa v Nitre.

We perceive the world unkown to us as an opposite of our own. It is inhabited by the people who we consider to be our enemies or - in the worst case - non-humans. The news we get from this world are simplified, distorted by the filters of created by the group expectations on the both sides. What is the Roma world like through the perception of the Non-Roma people? How do we behave towards each other? This book provides the answers for these questions.

Author(s): Miroslava Hlinčíková,Martina Sekulová / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: Slovakia; migration; integration; policy; labour relations; healthcare; education; social integration; culture;

Miroslava Hlinčíková a Martina Sekulová v texte analyzujú integráciu ľudí s medzinárodnou ochranou v kontexte integračných programov vytvorených štátom, ktoré sú určené na podporu procesu začleňovania tejto skupiny do spoločnosti. V deviatich kapitolách pozorne sledujú reflexie verejných inštitúcií, mimovládneho sektora a utečencov a na ich základe formulujú odporúčania pre každú z oblastí integrácie. Snažia sa tak odpovedať na otázku, ako by sa dal integračný program nastaviť tak, aby mal na každodenný život a integráciu utečencov čo najpozitívnejší vplyv a aby dorovnal ich často ťažké začiatky na Slovensku. Publikáciu vydal Inštitút pre verejné otázky (IVO), s podporou vedeckého projektu ÚEt SAV Občianske aktivity ako determinant udržateľného rozvoja mesta (etnologický pohľad), VEGA č. 2/0024/14.

The Authority of a Symbol

Autorita symbolu

Author(s): Zora Vanovičová / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: Czechoslovakia; Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk; Rastislav Štefánik; Jan Masaryk;

The formation of symbols is a characteristic feature of human thought; symbols become part of the inherited cultural equipment to not only identify common groups and individual values, ideas and ideals, but also to somehow stabilize and update them. Out of many outstanding personalities influencing the joint state of Czechs and Slovaks, the oral tradition selected some, on the basis of specific criteria of folklore traditions, which were also affected by their official presentation. The field investigation of the collective narratives shows that the main criteria for their selection were folk character of the personality, its moral credit and its status of victim. In 1989, after the fall of communist regime, one could again freely and openly talk, reminisce, investigate and publish topics associated with personalities that were tabooed and doubted for more than forty years. Folklore studies in Slovakia turned its attention to the older folklore material collected in the period of ideological relaxation in the years 1967 - 1969 and complete it with further actual research. The exploration of this topic brought to folklore studies opportunities to address some methodological problems. In the past, the research of oral tradition was concentrated mainly on particular personalities and characters from the distant past which were transformed by tradition into a legend with only few realistic elements (for instance national and folk hero Jánošík). The research of folklore reflection of the 20th century personalities has provided the challenge to track the creation of collective symbols and identities and the change of their perception during the time. The real historical personalities of modern political and social life of the 20th century, reflected in ideas of diverse groups of rural and urban populations, connect the historical experience with myths, cult, local folklore as well as the positive and negative influences of contemporary interpretations of history. The national and religious antipathy and affinity are also interconnected within the region or locality. These are connected to several historical periods and facts: the First World War, the struggle of our nation for the own state, the relationship between the nations in the early days of the state and in its further development, then the Slovak state, the World War II, partisan movement during the Slovak National Uprising, the communist regime, the occupation by Soviet troops, the normalization, and finally the post-communist period and the dissolution of Czecho-Slovakia. The author in the individual chapters addresses a picture of prominent historical figures connected with the formation and existence of the Czechoslovak Republic: Milan Rastislav Štefánik, the first president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (1850 - 1937) and his son Jan Masaryk, foreign minister in the Czechoslovak government after World War II in oral prosaic tradition. Based on the research material obtained in Brezová pod Bradlom, Košariská and its vicinity, the author in the study The image of a hero in Slovak prosaic folklore (“Obraz hrdinu v slovenskom prozaickom folklore”) states that folk narratives of general M.R. Štefánik’s personality is necessary to interpret within its complicated historical and political context, including also the periods before and after M.R. Štefánik’s life. Folk narratives are constantly maintaining the continuity of his image, pointing out his importance for the present and future and his spiritual potential for the national community. The range of official and folk manifestations about him varies from romantic and pathetically emotional perception through real-factual (often unilaterally positively celebratory) to negativistic political discrediting. This is one significant sign of M. R. Štefánik’s myth, which shows its exceptionality in Slovak folklore. The part The elements of bios in the contemporary Slovak folklore (“Prvky biosu v súčasnom slovenskom folklore”) is based on the scheme of basic and classical bios of the biblical story of Christ’s life, the life of a Byzantine saint, one of the oldest and most popular genres of Byzantine literature, which as a prototype of canon biography (T.V. Popovová also analyses the oldest biographies preserved in Slovakia − ‘The life of Constantine (Cyril)’ and ‘The life of Method’. The genre of bios is further developed in three ways: 1) to remember the stories of important people, 2) the celebration of a hero, 3) the moralistic and psychological role. The study of a folklore cycle about M. R. Štefánik with elements of bios, shows that it incorporates more real and specific issues from historical period and the events concerned, the closer the topic gets to the present (as well as stories from life), but at the same time keeps the classic elements of folklore genres and themes in the tradition. The part titled The theme of death as a myth-creating element in the folklore cycle about M. R. Štefánik (“Motív smrti ako mýtotvorný prvok vo folklórnom cykle o M. R. Štefánikovi”) suggests that the mysterious circumstances surrounding death in general encourage curiosity, conjecture and conditions for spreading different possibilities for its explanations. The political myth-creating process that becomes folklore, of which the Štefánik’s folklore cycle undoubtedly is a part, includes not only the various political illusions, substantiating political attitudes, but also the archetype fate of how M. R. Štefánik was violently and mysteriously killed in a plane crash on 4th May, 1919 at Vajnory (there were reported at least six different explanations of his death). Finally the author pays attention to the process of interpreting his life within the folk tradition and the national idea, which embodies the hero, and his transmission to immortality. The part M.R. Štefánik in the oral tradition in Slovakia (“M. R. Štefánik v ústnej tradícii na Slovensku”) suggests that images of different folk heroic types are developed through the whole cycle of episodes about their character, activities, life and relationship to the neighbourhood. Thus the concrete personality is taken as a model characterising a particular locality or region, and under certain circumstances can grow into a national hero. The reflection of the personality of M. R. Štefánik in the oral tradition, points to differences in the perspectives of several generations, not only with the concern of turning him into a myth, but also in connection to the different historical experiences of the generations and impact of different political regimes. On the one hand, there are still memories of direct eyewitnesses, contemporaries and peers of M. R. Štefánik, on the other, the narrative of subsequent generations are more affected by journalism, official evaluation, reaction to the often contradictory information and experiences, and then also the reactions of the youngest generation, ideas and knowledge of children. The folk hero across national border (“T. G. Masaryk in Slovakia I.”) is devoted to folklore cycles of important personalities of the common history of Slovaks and Czechs. There is a folklore cycle concerning the life of the first Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk and his family at the both sides of the mutual border. In Slovakia, especially in his holiday destination in Topoľčianky (where he used to spend the summer at the castle with his family, welcoming the visits of friends, politicians, artists and eminent personalities from abroad), and also in Bystrička near Martin. These regular summer visits with his family date back to 1887, when he was still a professor at the University of Prague. After he was elected President, he spent several summers in Bystrička in a villa that was built by his daughter Alica in 1931. Here the folklore topics are devoted to their villa in Bystrička that they called ‘manor house’, relationship of the president and his children Alica and Jan to the people of Bystrička and Martin, the fate of Bystrička’s ‘manor house’ confiscated in 1952 (which includes the current, contemporary relations to the Masaryk tradition), the image of the SlovakCzech relations at the local level and the confrontation of the two presidents, T. G. Masaryk and Václav Havel, and their relationship to Slovakia. The comparative probe into the folk repertoire with the topic of T.G. Masaryk’s personality in the territory of the Czech Republic (municipality Nedašov, Nedašovská Lhota district Valašské Klobouky) on the Slovak-Moravian border highlighted some common features, but also differences to the Slovak view. The part Genius loci – genius personae: Topoľčianky. T. G. Masaryk in Slovakia II. (“Genius loci – genius personae: Topoľčianky. T. G. Masaryk na Slovensku II.”) points to the village Topoľčianky, still known for its historical role in the first half of the 20th century, when, regularly, for several months a year it used to be not only the resting place of the president T. G. Masaryk, his family and government officials and other important domestic and foreign guests, but also a center of management of the Czechoslovak state. It was one of the few sites where, at the time, political and diplomatic influence was concentrated, where the elements of the myth-creating image of the first president were formed, from where stories about the President’s relationship to the ordinary people and his cult were spread by printed media. It was also a place where artistic photos of his private life and Čapek’s book of conversations with him originated. For the village it was a period when it became known as the “Masaryk’s Topoľčianky” and carried the torch of good relations between Czechs and Slovaks and a flag of a joined state in favourable or unfavourable conditions of its political perception. The image of Jan Masaryk in oral tradition (“Obraz Jana Masaryka v ústnom podaní”), by selecting certain motifs of his life mainly consists of three layers, which correspond to certain episodes of bios mode (his life): childhood, youth, relationships with people, character traits, wisdom, death and his legacy into the future. They are intertwined with the published facts, with the memories of individuals and their ancestors, as well as various rumoured news disseminated to clarify the unexplained circumstances of his death. In the part titled The 90th anniversary of the death of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik (“K 90. výročiu smrti generála Milana Rastislava Štefánika”) the author recalls the celebration of this anniversary in Slovakia organised by ‘The association of Czechs and Slovaks’ in Basel (DOMOV, “HOME”) and the Swiss branch of the Society of Arts Sciences (SVU) on the grounds of the Slavonic seminary at University of Basel in June 2009. Here, the results of folkloristic research concerning the personality of M.R. Štefánik were presented. The relationship to the symbols in some way reflects the history of a nation or state and facilitates the continuity of the present with the past pointing at the same time to the future. These values and symbols have a strong authority even today, which confronts the disintegration of values and moral crisis in society, as well as the search for common pathways in the European history of two nations, the Czechs and the Slovaks.

Life of Vlach women

Život olašských žien

Author(s): Ivana Šusterová / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: Roma and Gypsy; Slovakia; ethnological research; Ethnic minorities; Wallachian Roma; Nitra;

One can write about the Roma people in many ways. The intention of writing about them can also be different. I made my way “into the field” with an open mind and heart in order to explore one of the groups of Roma. By doing so, I aimed to discover as many objective facts as possible. The objective was to discover, to such an extent, these facts in which the Wallachian Roma shared and supported directly with their testimonies. The book is an ethnographic description of selected aspects of life of a particular Roma group – Wallachian Roma (Lovara) living in Nitra. This group forms a small percentage of the Roma population in Slovakia and is mainly presented as a closed community which is hard to penetrate. This seems to be one of the reasons why there is an absence of information about Wallachian Roma; not only to the general public, but also among experts – in spite of the fact that Wallachian Roma form a special sub-ethnic group which is characterised, among other things, by the preservation of traditional norms, specific forms of behavior, and a set of unique habits in their community that persists even today. An important feature which influences the way of life of Wallachian Roma isa persistent solidarity among them by observing family and community rules. The book aims to describe and analyse the position of women within the community of Wallachian Roma today, present the picture of a Wallachian woman living her everyday life subordinated to the internal rules and laws of the community and focuses on the transformation of her position throughout her life. The publication focuses particularly on the current situation, but also observes the preservation of the traditional model of women´s position within the community of Wallachian Roma, the possible generation differences and the penetration of newer forms. The book also deals with factors influencing their formation, and aims to grasp this issue in the most comprehensive manner possible from the point of view of several generations and both sexes. The data presented in the book represent the results of field research conducted on Borová Street in Nitra, where the Wallachian community is concentrated within a compact residential unit. The current population of this community is around 350–400 adult Roma with children from the Ferkošť family who have lived at this location since 1958 when the first house was built there. The content of the book places emphasis on the changes in the position of women from their birth up to old age.

Cultural and Social Diversity in Slovakia IV. Social Changes and Adaptation

Kultúrna a sociálna diverzita na Slovensku IV. Spoločenská zmena a adaptácia

Author(s): / Language(s): Slovak,Czech

Keywords: Cultural and social diversity; Slovakia; Social change; Postsocialism; Working life; Sustainable lifestyles; Vietnamese migrants; Indian Medicine in Slovakia; Holocaust in Slovakia;

Publikácia, ktorú predkladáme verejnosti, je zameraná na procesy adaptácie jednotlivcov a skupín obyvateľov miest v období spoločenskej zmeny, ktorá nastala po roku 1989. Pád komunizmu v Československu bol navonok jednoduchým aktom formálneho vzdania sa moci, ktorým KSČ uznala svoju neschopnosť ďalej viesť túto krajinu. Zmeny, ktoré nasledovali, sa ale dotkli takmer každej stránky každodenného života. Vývoj v nestabilnej a rôznorodej politickej situácii sa premietal do spoločenských vzťahov, reštrukturalizácia vlastníctva mala pre niektorých pozitívne a pre iných negatívne dôsledky, zmeny na pracovnom trhu a v zamestnaneckých vzťahoch oslabili životné istoty a menili pracovné návyky, zdedené zo socializmu. Na Slovensko prišli zahraničné firmy a ich manažéri, globálne overené reklamné spôsoby, tovar z celého sveta, ktorý menil kultúru odievania, bývania, stravovania... Médiá prekročili hranice „socialistického tábora“ a prinášali nové idey, ideály, kultúrne vzory i spôsoby správania. „Svet“ k nám prenikol rôznymi cestami, žijú medzi nami imigranti, ale aj my sme slobodne prekročili hranice, spoznávali jeho mnohoraké podoby a kopírovali skúsenosti. Prestali sme byť izolovanou krajinou. Zakonzervované kultúrne modely rozbila „všemocná ruka trhu“, ktorý sa stal pre mnohých určujúcim kritériom hodnôt. Norma, ktorú naša spoločnosť stavia pred svojich členov, je norma schopnosti a ochoty hrať rolu konzumenta (Bauman 1999: 98). Komercionalizácia a globalizácia sú sprievodnými javmi týchto procesov.

The Only Certainty is Change

Jediná jistota je změna

Author(s): Adam Wiesner / Language(s): Czech

Keywords: Autoethnography; Transgender; Trans Rights; Non-binary; Transition; LGBTQ;

Autor majstrovsky využíva vedomú a silnú reflexivitu na všetky aspekty a fázy svojho skúmania. Zároveň poskytuje kultivovaný a znalosťami podložený ponor do prežívania rodovo nebinárneho človeka, prezentovaný a prítomný v celom texte. (prof. PhDr. Viera Bačová, DrSc) Kniha zaujímavým spôsobom prepojuje tri dimenzie situovanosti autora (vedca, aktivistu a človeka v procese tranzície). Táto špecifická situovanosť a pozicionalita je zároveň systematicky a citlivo reflektovaná v celom procese výskumu (interakcie so skúmanými). Preto sa domnievam, že táto kniha má aj vzdelávací rozmer - môže slúžiť ako metodologická učebnica autoetnografie pre odbory, ako sú sociálna antropológia či sociológia. (Mgr. Petra Ezzeddine, PhD)

Conspiracy Theories: themes, historical contexts and argumentation strategies.

Konšpiračné teórie: témy, historické kontexty a argumentačné stratégie.

Author(s): Zuzana Panczová / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: social life; conspiracy theories; scientific research overview;

Conspiracy theories concern important and sensitive spheres of social life which, at the same time, represent a source of group tensions (issues of the morale, religion, environment, natural disasters, wars, etc.), introducing in such tensions and uncertainty revelations of their alleged originators and visions of the assumed future consequences. The publication deals with conspiracy theories from several angles. The book chapters clarify the definitions of the terms, provide an overview of recent research, describe the historical and ideological contexts of conspiracy theories popular also in Slovakia, and offer examples of textual analyses of internet discussions. The research, which forms the basis of this work, has been conducted on a continuous basis since 2003. At that time, this topic was marginal in Slovakia, yet with an increasing need for scientific reflection. The purpose of the book is to present an overview of the scientific research conducted so far, using a language which is more comprehensible to readers outside the scientific community.

Talking and Silence. Inter-Generational Communication in Family

Rozprávanie a mlčanie: medzigeneračná komunikácia v rodine

Author(s): Peter Salner,Monika Vrzgulová,Ľubica Voľanská / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: Communication in a family; circle of scilence; talking and scilence; generations; cohorts; inter-generational solidarity and conflict; behaviour; family and memory;

Family and the various forms of relationships and communications between the different generations in a family still represent a common object of research in the field of humanities, including ethnology. For most of us, family is a micro-world in which the major part of the human life happens. It offers us the initial information about the functioning of things and, in particular, about relationships between people, and creates the space in which we train communication. Within a family we learn in a non-violent way about how relationships between people –peers and members of different generations – work. We adopt opinions about what is going on around us, accept values and norms that we consequently use, modify and confront with the world outside the family sphere. Socialization in a family is the initial blueprint that forms our identity, the idea about who we are, where we belong to, whose continuation we are. Above all, family is an environment that is supposed to bring together its members through the feeling of mutual trust. It also offers the possibility (almost the obligation) to talk about confidential issues, but it can also create a “circle of silence” about phenomena which are taboo because of being painful and hurting both the speakers and the listeners. Especially in totalitarian regimes, family is endangered by the disclosure of certain facts, while others distort the positive image about its members. Family and society are interrelated as communicating vessels. Any changed conditions in society also change family, its forms, the relationships between generations, as well as the themes and the forms of communication within it. And vice versa – society responds (or should respond) to the needs and problems of family by means of special institutions. Today, the changes in communication in family are due to increased mobility of its members (education, work, personal fulfillment), individualization, as well as the development of new communication technologies. On one hand, there is the actual physical distance between the family members; on the other hand, the overcoming of such distance thanks to technological discoveries. In connection with family issues the developments in the European society of the 2nd half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century have made us reflect about Martin Heidegger's statement: “The present times have overcome all distances, but have not created any proximity.” Another characteristic feature of a present-day family is the fact that the increased life expectancy trend allows for longer co-habitation and cultivation of relationships between three or even four generations. This creates a new potential for of inter-generational family relationships and extends the time lived in such relationships as adult individuals. The term generation can be described in several manners: for example, by an appropriately defined time interval related to the period of birth of individuals pertaining to a single generation. It is common to use the interval of 10 to 30 years, but other criteria can also be set for determining who pertains to which generation. Hence, a generation can be defined on the basis of the duration of a certain event (e.g. war generation) or structurally, like childhood (Wintersberger 2000: 6).

"Young Minds, Old Bodies". Ageing in autobiographies from Bratislava and Vienna.

"V hlave tridsať, v krížoch sto". Starnutie v autobiografiách v Bratislave a Viedni.

Author(s): Ľubica Voľanská / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: ageing; autobiographies; Bratislava; Vienna; elderly; behaviour; motivation; activities;

Európa šedivie. Staroba a starnutie sa tak stále častejšie stávajú predmetom mediálneho, sociálno-politického i výskumníckeho záujmu. Subjektívne prežívanie tejto životnej etapy i starnutia ako procesu je však v stredoeurópskom prostredí v sociálnych vedách skúmané málo. Ľubicu Voľanskú zaujímali motivácie správania sa a činností starých ľudí, ich postoje k vlastnému správaniu a konaniu a k správaniu a konaniu iných, ako sú zobrazené v ich autobiografických textoch. V monografii sleduje ambivalentné vnímanie staroby vo verejnom a odbornom diskurze prepojené s vnímaním starými ľuďmi v súvislosti s hranicami staroby. Bežne kladené otázky: Kto je starý? Ako možno stanoviť časovú alebo inú hranicu, odkedy je človek starý? necháva zodpovedať svojich partnerov a partnerky vo výskume. Ich výpovede dáva do kontextu širokej odbornej literatúry, ktorá sa hranicou staroby a prežívaním staroby zaoberá.

Beyond the Limits of Science? Applied Anthropology in Society

Za hranicami vedy? Aplikovaná antropológia v spoločnosti

Author(s): / Language(s): Slovak

Keywords: Applied anthropology in society; Ethnology; Feminism; Ethnography; Intercultural communication; Slovakia;

V poslednej dobe sa v spoločenskom diskurze na Slovensku či už v mediach, alebo na socialnych sieťach veľa hovori o vyzname a (ne)užitočnosti socialnych vied. Praca spoločenskych vedcov a vedkyňsa pritom mnohym javi ako ťažko pochopiteľna a uchopiteľna. Prečo niekto skuma javy, temy, suvislosti, ktore ľudia žiju vo svojich každodennych životoch, a teda im predsa rozumeju bez toho, aby ich zbytočne intelektualizovali, analyzovali – skratka a dobre – komplikovali? Alebo naopak – načo niektore problemy tisickrat „rozpitvavať“, keď potom vysledky neprinesu ich jednoduche riešenie? Vedcom a vedkyniam sa ponuka možnosť viac sa „otvoriť“ svetu, objasniť verejnosti zmysel ich prace a to či už v ramci popularizačnych aktivit, alebo prostrednictvom bezprostrednej aplikacie nadobudnutych poznatkov v spoločenskej praxi. Socialna antropologia či etnologia su vedeckymi disciplinami o culture v širokom zmysle slova, respektive o kulture každodennosti. Ich ustrednym zaujmom a temou su ľudia a ich žita realita. Zaoberaju sa ich preživanim, socialnymi vzťahmi, materialnym prostredim, identitami a sposobom, akym su tieto vytvarane a ako sa odražaju na rozličnych urovniach ľudskej existencie. Socialni antropologovia a antropologičky sa v sučasnosti nesustredia len na klasicke temy, vzťahujuce sa k tradičnym prostrediam či spoločenstvam.

Cultural and social diversity in Slovakia iv. social change and adaptation

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Cultural and social diversity; Slovakia; Social change; Postsocialism; Working life; Sustainable lifestyles; Vietnamese migrants; Indian Medicine in Slovakia; Holocaust in Slovakia;

The publication hereby presented to the public focuses on the processes of adaptation of individuals and groups of urban inhabitants in the period of social changes after 1989. From the outside, the collapse of Communism in Czechoslovakia was a simple act of formal resignation by which the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia admitted its inability to further lead this country. The subsequent changes, however, affected almost all aspects of everyday life. The developments in this unstable and heterogeneous political situation was reflected in social relationships; the restructuring of ownership had positive effects on some people, and negative ones on others; the changes in the labour market and employment weakened the life securities, and changed the work habits inherited from the time of socialism. The period after 1989 was characterised by the arrival of foreign companies and their managers, and proven ways of advertising and goods from all over the world, changing the culture of work, clothing, housing, catering, etc. The mass media crossed the borders of the “socialist camp” and brought new ideas, ideals, cultural models or ways of behaviour. The “global world” penetrated lives of the citizens in many ways. The free market destroyed the long-preserved cultural models and became the determining criterion of values for many. The norm our society places in front of its members is the norm of ability and willingness to play the role of a consumer (Bauman 1999: 98). Commercialisation and globalisation are the accompanying phenomena of these processes.
