The article deals with the history of ethnology in Slovakia from late 1950s to the 1960s. The author investigates the development in the scientific discipline under the influence of fundamental political, social and ideological changes after the communist seizure of power in 1948 in Czechoslovakia. She focuses her research on collective fieldworks devoted to the so called “partisan (guerrilla) folklore”. The empirical data which describe this fieldwork activity show the research strategies of institutions and scholars during the period of penetration of the communist ideology into the discipline and the orientation of Slovak ethnology on the Soviet ethnographic schools.
