In the context of the debate about the globalisation processes, the author describes Göran Therborn's theory of globalisation phases and Immanuel Wallerstein's arguments about European universalism as a concept strongly connected with the colonial, post-colonial and neo-liberal discourse of power. The second part of the article contains reflections on the contacts between Japan and the external world, mainly Euro-American world, and particularly in the Meiji period. Processes of economic and social transformation of Japan under external influence have been explained. This was the time of profound transformations in the cultural space and everyday life (the reform of the calendar and holidays, introduction of Shinto - state religion). Examples taken from the Japanese history clearly show how the so-called Westernization (i.e. globalisation) has become a factor of destruction of traditional systems. On the other hand, Western (global) ideas have been transformed and adapted to the local cultural conditions.

This paper analyses how the Jewish community in Bratislava dealt with the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic that took place between the 1st March 2020 and 30 May 2021. Because the public health measures in force at the time rendered traditional ethnological research methods inapplicable, the author’s main source of information was the online communication of the leadership and administration of the Bratislava Jewish Religious Community (JRC) with its members. On the 9th March 2020, the government implemented the first battery of public health measures. Already on the same day, the JRC released a newsletter encouraging its members to observe the authorities’ guidance. It also cancelled all of its scheduled activities. The leadership would go on to distribute masks and hygiene supplies to the oldest members of the community, facilitate the vaccination of Holocaust survivors. Part of Slovak society compared restrictions on social contacts, a mask mandate, and a limitation on free movement to the suffering of the Jews in the Wartime Slovak State, highlighting this supposed parallel by wearing yellow stars. The effective limits on social contacts brought communal life within the community to a standstill, which had a particular effect on the older generations. The pandemic also inevitably led to a ban on communal worship and necessitated adjustments in the observance of traditional Jewish holidays, particularly Pesach. In many families, the communal Seder supper was held online via Zoom or Skype. The community had also to improvise during Hannukah, with an Orthodox or liberal rabbi assisting in the lighting of candles in the homes of members who requested it.

The aim of this paper is to capture globalising processes manifesting themselves on the micro level, specifically in the family environment. The subject focus is diet/nutrition and how holiday periods are spent in families living in a rural milieu (a village in the Partizánske district) and in a small town milieu (Šamorín). The research questions were aimed both at the objective state of knowledge and functioning of globalising phenomena and at their reflection among respondents (their attitudes and evaluations). The goal of the paper is to ascertain: – through which communication channels globalising elements are disseminated (internet, mass media, institutions, migrations, personal contacts) – the extent of their interiorisation, and whether there is an enduring evaluation of them in terms of “our own/foreign” – or “positive/negative” – whether there are manifestations of hybridisation – whether there are efforts at the conscious conservation of traditions as a defence mechanism against globalisation.

During the socialist period, the Czechoslovak Danube Shipping Company, based in Bratislava, was one of the major employers. It employed approximately 3500 people. The company was founded in 1922 and has changed its name several times during its more than 100-year history (today it is called Slovenská plavba a prístavy, a. s.). The Danube Shipping Company transported goods along the Danube from Regensburg in Germany to the Black Sea, with an emphasis on the socialistic countries of Comecon. Boatmen belonged to professions that used special clothing – a uniform, on the basis of which they could be identified, thus distinguishing them from other civilian professions. The paper focuses on the working activities of the shipwright in the 1970s and 1980s, work duties, the way of spending leisure time during the voyage and personal leisure. It presents the social programme of the organisation Czechoslovak Danube Shipping, based in Bratislava, for boatmen and their families.
