In the last decades the fields of special events have grown dramatically. Globally there has been watched an enormous quantitative and qualitative boom of events. Mega-events, such as Olympics or World’s Fair, became part of global culture and they are known for amazing visit rates amounting to millions. They fulfil numerous functions in economic, cultural and environmental spheres. Their impacts are multiplied by factors, such as tourism and media with worldwide coverage. The need for managing the impacts of special events is appeared in order to protect and develop cultural, economic and environmental ambient for other generation. The article draws attention to necessity of complex study of special events, not only in the field of event management, event tourism or other economic sciences. The focus is concentrated to social sciences with intent to evoke the reaction of the culturology to the field of special events. The main view is dedicated to special events as a cultural value with an own evolution dated back to the appearance of first religious ideas. The history of special events is analysed depending upon the evolution of human culture/society with accent on tourism as a former factor. By this the author confirms relation among events, culture and tourism.

The main goal of this contribution is to point out a few problematic spheres, where the generally accepted not quite correspond to the real situation. We emphasize that the path to the general knowledge of the culture of Slovaks living in Low Land is through the realization of research in widest context of theory in as many localities as it is possible. We present a view of the seven problematic issues, which in the context of the current research of Slovaks living in Low Land can be considered as relevant. First, there is the problem of the meaning of terms ethnic enclave and ethnic diaspora. Secondly, the consideration of degree of acculturation and the transfer of the meaning from term "language island" to term "cultural island". Thirdly, we are considering terms of ethno-cultural and ethno-confessional aspects of identity. The fourth problematic sphere is relation between local and ethnic identity. The fifth problem is the urban and rural environment and their contexts affecting acculturation in the minority sector. The sixth circuit is relation between ethnic identity and civic identity. Seventh problem is the minority policy in the European Union, its relative instability and undeniable impact on the acculturation of minorities.

The study evaluates the methodological contribution of a Slovak literary scholar Peter Liba (1931 – 2020), who was one of the founders of the Institute for Research of Constantine and Methodius’ Cultural Heritage and the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra. As a literary scholar, Liba significantly influenced the theory of interpretation and communication in a number of humanistic fields of study and thematic areas (folklore, popular literature, translation, children’s and youth literature, bibliography, biography studies, textology, culturology etc.). The study also defines the researcher’s autonomous position within the so-called semiotic-communication Nitra school and its expressive theory of the text, which the work of aforementioned professor enriched interdisciplinary with diachronic and comparative aspects of not only primary but also secondary communication. Within its framework, Liba elaborated on the problems of the functions of literary education, typology of reading and literacy, literary-museum communication, biography studies and circulation of the so-called degraded layers of literary development. As a literary theorist, he came from textological analysis and heuristic research to uncovering the connections between literature and culture and its ethical dimension.
