This article deals with folklorism connected with material parts of Cultural heritage. It points to the fact, that originally rural production and art traditions transferred to a different socio – cultural background were adjusted to a changed context area. Out of different expressions of folklorism, our article focuses on its organised forms, institutions – associations, societies, esp. ÚĽUV - The Centre for Folk Art Production. Traditional folk culture is a key issue of the professional practise of these institutions. It concentrates on development changes of ÚĽUV folklorism from its early stages to the new forms heading to modern design.

This study presents the possibilities of literature to counter the crisis in the Balkans in the 17th century. The analysis of the language material by the New Bulgarian damascenes proves that the authors use special anti-crisis language strategies. The peculiarities of the text about Second Coming of Christ and the text about the Ten Commandments of God in the field of vocabulary, but also in morphology, syntax, are presented. The changes in the vocabulary towards the archaic damascenes and the introduction of words from the spoken language are pointed out.

In the first part of this paper the author deals with the development of the term „folk“ in modern Czech national society and in connection with the contents of this term also the meaning which was ascribed to the folk and their creation and production in various times and under social system. Further, she will try to capture the interconnection between the term folk and the nation and the role which was projected into so-called folk creation and production during the formation of national and state identity. In the second part the author analyses the importance of folk creation and production as instruments of propaganda in the post-war society of the Czech lands. At the same time she shows that the political concept of folk, varying over time, correlated with the importance attributed to the folk creation and production. It followed from the analysis that the term folk, in the course of historic development, changed or broadened. The change was understandably not a purely terminological mater. The concept based on linguistic characteristics of the nation among Czech revivalists counted on the Czech-speaking village population. The ideology of the democratic First Republic tied the term folk closely to the idea of citizenship. After the Second World War folk creation was again connected with village life.

Folk art production is a valuable part of cultural heritage and a significant form of expression of the creative arts of previous and present generations. The article is a reflection on the development of folk production in Slovakia from the end of the 19th century, when folk production was organized by cooperation and association. The activities of these institutions gradually created favourable conditions to capture and ensure the development of folk art production. In 1945, it was possible to make the first attempt to underpin the development of folk art production in its entire scale.

Popular songs in Upper Silesia followed so-called Disco Polo music and they are referred to as traditional songs, “Silesian folk” or “Silesian szlagry” (Silesian hits). This very unique repertoire is the subject of the author ś scientific focus. She carries out a preliminary evaluation of the repertoire of popular banda that make references to the Silesian folklore and folk culture. The “Silesian szlagry” are based on the melodic of German popular songs and the melodic lines of Polish songs are used less often. All lyrics are written in the Silesian dialect. Their evaluation from the literary perspective shows that they are quite often written ad hoc: sometimes sentences and plots miss finishing touches; repetitions, rhymes and refrains are inconsistent; it is difficult to find the uniform metrical patterns; and the song writers make use of unjustified mental shortcuts and clichéd descriptions.

Nowadays, folk movement is still an important part of cultural and social life in Slovakia. The mission of Ethnological sciences, especially Folkloristics, should therefore be i. a. the documentation and analysis of processes in folklorism, in which folk movement is very important and closely related component. Nevertheless, the Folkloristics stopped deal with this issue by the end of the 20th century. The aim of this paper is to highlight the important position of prof. Štefan Nosáľ in the second half of the 20th century in the process of creating the artistic direction of significant folk dance choreographers active mainly in amateur folk movement in Slovakia. This paper also highlights the aesthetic criterions of the most representative folk dance choreographers in the placing folklore material on the stage, their inspiration for the choreographic production, but especially the perception of stage folk dance by leading authorities in the folk movement in Slovakia in the defined period.

The paper consists of two parts. The first one is an introductory attempt to translate the concepts of literary genology into concepts useful in analyzing the rulebook of the role-playing game Changeling: The Lost. The key term here is “genre convention”, which replaces the concept of “genre”. Whereas the word “genre” suggests belonging to a certain class of texts, the phrase “genre convention” implies a less strict relation to genre patterns, based rather on a hermeneutic reference to living cultural tradition than on a paradigmatic realization of frozen forms. Such an approach appears to be proper while discussing those cultural texts which creatively combine several genre conventions, instead of limiting themselves to just one. This is exactly the kind of combination that we have to do with in Changeling: The Lost. The second part of the text includes a brief depiction of the presented world of the game and an analysis of this world with regard to the genre conventions it employs. The most numerous group of these is made up from genre conventions that are typical of the cycle of games called “the World of Darkness”: investigation, thriller and horror, psychological, social, urban fantasy, as well as the gothic convention (which is perhaps broad enough so as not to be considered a genre). However, it is the references to the conventions of folk genres — fairy-tale in particular — which are of special interest here. The application of adapted genological terminology allows to distinguish rather precisely the elements of various conventions in the Changeling: The Lost rulebook, being an example of how useful the method of literary studies can be in researching the phenomena of various media.

The aim of the study is to describe and to examine the notion of 'nepiseg' (populism), which was one of the central conceptions of socialist realism and the major political requirement of the so-called new literature in the Stalinist era as declared by political and cultural leaders. This notion has not been researched thoroughly. The authoress of the present study, therefore, expresses her own reservations as far as her definition of the term, which eludes a precise definition, is concerned. 'Nepiesseg' (folksiness, traditionalism) describes the 'appearance of traditional elements in the elite culture' and it belongs to the authentic folkloristic/traditional elements of the culture. On the other hand, 'nepiseg' (populism) means 'traditionalism' which has turned into a 'political ideology' in the 'nepi' (populist) movement. It is obvious that only the latter can be applied to socialist realism. The authoress of the study tries to examine the ideological and cultural roots of these notions, concentrating on the ideological and critical aspects of the problem. The notion originated with Herder. In his 'Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit' (1784-1791), the German philosopher claimed that every nation has its own specific character rooted in prehistoric times and that language, popular tales, songs and customs preserve 'the spirit of the people'. This is 'the essence of the nation' and is articulated in several ways according to the members of the 'nepiesseg' literary trend. The idea of the core part of 'nepiesseg', of 'people' itself, however, remained unclear in both the 19th and the 20th centuries. In this way the works of Janos Horvath (1922) and many others following his theory canonized the notion in literary history. This undefined meaning of 'people' was one of the main issues of socialist realism. In the second part of the study, some case studies are presented, presupposing that 'nepiseg' is the most significant link between Hungarian and Czech socialist realism, and it is demonstrated how different the appearance of 'nepiseg' in these national versions of socialist realism was.
