Program: VEGA
Project leader: PhDr. Salner Peter DrSc.
Annotation:This is a primary research project and its results will summarise as well as expand (in book form) selected aspects of the issue, which proponents have studied for a long time. Building on a critical analysis of the current state of the knowledge, combined with their own recent investigations, they study the images of non-democratic regimes – the Ľudák one (1938-1945) and the Communist one (1948-1989) – which persist in the memories ofthe people who lived through them, as well as the content of what these people have passed on to the subsequent generations. The proponents plan to compare, contrast deepen the knowledge of two distinct groups of the population: the Slovak majority and the Jewish minority. Utilizing the concepts of individual, social, collective memory, as defined by A. Assmann 2016, and in the intentions of the concept of divided memory (Herf 1997), data acquired by qualitative ethnological research methods will be analyzed with a focus on the chosen groups of Slovak society.

Project leader: Mgr. Gyárfáš Lutherová Soňa PhD.
Annotation:The project will focus on the ethnological / socio-anthropological investigation of the issue of intergenerational relations in the environment of families and wider communities. In the center of interest of the research team is the provision of education in the family or the preparation of the following generations for the future life, as well as the life situation of senior citizens in relations with younger generations. The common denominator of the research project is the functioning of care, communication and two-way assistance within the family, relatives, but also in the neighborhood or in a wider community context. The project examines intergenerational relations in various forms in the current pandemic (or post-pandemic) context, as their fragility is usually manifested in critical situations. The research team uses qualitative ethnographic research methods (participant observation, semi-structured interviews, collection of biographical narratives, etc.), which deepen the existing knowledge about the investigated issue in Slovakia.

Project leader: PhDr. Popelková Katarína CSc.
Annotation:In the late modernity period, an increasing number of areas of our social contacts are penetrated by some type ofa cultural offer of experiences. The entire festive culture is affected by the dynamic process of changes. In thisprocess, the common forms of holidays, feasts, social occasions and cultural events are enriched with newelements of entertainment and with an offer of consumption. Along with this, specific forms of gathering,occasions and new artistic formations called events) are on the rise (Gebhardt 2000:18). Events as strategicallyconceived social gatherings produced for a certain purpose and aimed at providing an unusual experience andcollective entertainment, attract big amounts of people. These changes of global nature, which can be called theprocess of ‘eventisation’ (Hitzler 2011: 19), are covered by ethnology also in the framework of the study of thecurrent forms and contents of holidays and festivities. The proposed project aims to map the expressions of theprocess of eventisation.

Duration: 1.1.2022 - 31.12.2025
Program: VEGA
Project leader: Prof. PhDr. Beňušková Zuzana CSc.
Annotation:The aim of the project is to clarify the mechanisms of creation and functioning of selected forms of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage, within it elements of traditional folk culture, but also historical values ​​of the urban environment, often becomes a tool and inspiration for part of the development activities of the regions and municipalities of Slovakia. Various forms of support schemes are used, from national to global, which create specific conditions for selected elements of cultural heritage. With the use of the economic potential of cultural heritage, i.e. with the commodification of its components, threats arise that are brought about by the cultural industry and to which ethnological and anthropological researches respond. The inspiration for the direction of the research is the model of protection and research of tangible and intangible cultural heritage developed within the framework of UNESCO, which has provoked a scientific discourse, stimulating also for the investigation of other forms of protection and sustainability of elements of cultural heritage in Slovakia.

Technological and sociocultural contexts of material culture innovations: an ethnological perspective

Duration: 1.1.2022 - 31.12.2025
Program: VEGA
Project leader: PhDr. Zajonc Juraj CSc.
Annotation:Even in the postmodern globalized society of Slovakia, innovation is one of the key factors of economic development. At the same time, individuals and groups are defined here through their own traditions. They consider their immutability important and protect some as cultural heritage (Representative List). In this context, they also perceive innovation as an undesirable process. Ethnology reflects the transformations of the material and social sphere of everyday life in their concrete manifestations and looks for possibilities of their study. The project here proposes to use the concept of innovation. He understands it as a constant process of entering and applying new things and knowledge in the material world associated with everyday life. Through this oriented research of processes in the technological and sociocultural level, we want to get closer to a more complex understanding of the dynamics of cultural phenomena and their connections with the functioning of communities in the contemporary world. The project will also serve to verify the procedures of digital processing of text documents in the Scientific Collections at the IESA SAS.
