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. |

| 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. |
The power of ritual: A study of ritual efficacy among Mauritian Hindus.

| Project leader: |
M.A. Maňo Peter Ph.D. et Ph.D. |
| Annotation: | The project addresses one of the core issues in ritual studies - the perception of ritual power and its practical application. It investigates the role of participation costs in judgments of presumed ritual efficacy amongst Mauritian Hindus, exploring the idea that ritual sacrifice proportionally reflects the expected ritual effects. Specifically, it asks whether people are more prone to engage in costly rituals in critical life situations (e.g., severe disease). I expect that as uncertainty over the outcome increases, people opt for costly ritual solutions to regain a sense of control. The findings will have implications for ritual practitioners like athletes or devotees and pursuits in other domains like stress coping strategies or therapy. |

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

| Duration: |

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. |
