The paper deals with the problem of socio-cultural change connected with the social conflict. The author emphasizes the problem of social agency and its position in the attempts to understand the dynamics and the character of socio-cultural changes. One of the possible attempts in catching the never-ending combats of the mankind, conflicting tensions in inter-group and inter-personal relations is the novel by Czech writer Vladimir Paral 'Milenci a vrazi' (Lovers and Murders). The construction of the Paral's novel is based on the model of combat between 'the conquerors' and 'the besieged', 'The Reds' and 'The Blue'. Similarly the author analyzes and interprets scientific publications by Sona Svecova, first of all her monograph from the year 1984, based on her long-term ethnographic research of the dispersed settlement in the highlands of Krupinska planina. Svecova analysed ethnographic data directly related to socio-cultural changes with very similar character to Paral's expressive interpretation.

The states, regions and nations on both sides of the iron curtain have very different experience from the period after WWII. After enlargement, the institutions in the Western Europe and in the postcommunist coutries seem to be the same: European. But the reality is different: differences are the outcome of the 'divided history'. In the academic institutions the situation is similar. In this essay, the author focuses the current position of the humanities, and first of all Slovak ethnology facing the process of European integration.

The essay is aiming to discuss the reason of decay of the International Commitee for the Study of Folk Culture in the Carpathians and the Balkans, which was the only one international academic organisation of the ethnologists from the European Communist countries. The author's perspective is based on his personal experience with the different levels of the Commitee from the late 1970s until the beginning of the 1990s. The author analyses character of the work and hierarchy within the Commitee, and is looking for the explanation, why such an originally active scientific organisation was not able to survive.

The paper aims to explore Slovak villagers' attitudes towards travelling and tourism during the period of the late socialism. Travelling and tourism might have been perceived as expressions of urban life style, the way of spending free time, or the recreational activities connected with travelling. The author considers his personal experience during the 1970s and 1980s. As a young tourist he was confronted with the attitudes of the Slovak official representatives towards a life style that was rather strange for them. When the conservative inhabitants of Slovak country-side were confronted with the young people from the urban families brought up on the Seton's principles of living in natural environment, the similar clash of two systems of values or two different life perspectives occurred. The author completes his observations by two ethnographic descriptions of the episodes that took place during his long-term field research of Slovak highlanders in the second half of the 1980s.
