The author seeks to illustrate the situation regarding breastfeeding and new born care from the perspective of two generations of mothers in two selected periods. She monitors the ethnological aspects of changes in this field and its perception in the lives of two generations of mothers. She also studies the status of breastfeeding in society and its promotion, or alternatively its relegation to the background on favour of formula feeding. Interpreting the results, she attempts to answer the questions why such situation existed, what factors contributed to it, and how mothers themselves interpreted and analysed the reasons for this situation.

The goal of the paper is to present Margita Figuli´s novel Olovený vták/The Lead Bird by means of contemporary reading with regard to the historical and social context of its creation and its place in the literary history. This pacifist piece of prose criticizing participation of Slovakia in the war against Poland (1939) is well-known for its controversial publication in the pro-regime magazine Slovenské pohľady (1940) led by the editor Stanislav Mečiar and an alleged connection to the writer´s follow-up dismissal from Tatra banka in 1941 – 1942. The interpretation of the novel, which has only been the subject of fragmentary analysis to date, is concerned with the key points found in the text in terms of the structure and the spiritual dimension underrated so far. The text revolves around a character of a woman living in a tragic relation to the reality, which refers to the archetype of the mourning mother and the prototype of biblical Mary, alternatively ancient Niobe. The interpretation aims at the conclusion saying that the prose work can be included in the late line of expressionist prose. What helps cast light on the place of the book in the writer´s biography is her correspondence, publication activity, studies of literary scientists and knowledge of the historians analysing the period of the Slovak Republic (1939 – 1945).

The article analyzes Plutarch’s comments about women from several his works. The author of the article pays attention to fact that Plutarch not only thinks highly of a woman as a wife and a mother, but he awards to women the right to education and participation in virtues equally with men. The author doesn’t say that Plutarch is an advocate of the equality of women but she suggests that Plutarch stands out above his times. In the article the author makes an attempt to present that Plutarch’s thoughts about functions and virtues of women are based on his conception of human being and, in a broader sense, on Platonic metaphysics

The author of this article presents some ideas about Mary contained in two rather new works. The first one is a lexicon of Mariology. It is a summary of all what took place in this theological field. The second is a small book about the internal relation between God and Mary and its consequences for the human life. It is the work of prof. Pospisil 'Mary - the maternal face of God'. These works are quite new, both in Czech theology and in theology in general. Marienlexicon with its 4300 pages brings together almost everything the present Mariology offers from its treasures. Prof. Pospisil's book, on the other hand, integrates certain individual ideas into the overall field of Mariology. While the authors of the lexicon think about Mary in relationship to the individual persons of the Trinity, prof. Pospisil explores her relationship to the Immanent Trinity. He presents Mariology as a necessary addition to Christology and as a challenge to discover life in its fullness.

The paper presents how female migrants from the Opole region identify with their mothers, how different are their views of family and marital life, and what they would like to inherit from their mothers. The answers to these question are based on a number of women’s accounts of these issues and of the power of socialization. Sixty six interviews and letter diaries of female migrants have been analyzed in the paper. The presented research indicates that for most of the interviewed women their mother has been a strong role model of womanhood, but that they are different from their own mothers particularly in their perception and performance of the role of a woman. Although they admire their parents’ marriages, they do not always want to get married and cherish their marital relationships themselves. Taking up this role involves dilemmas. In the organization of social life Opole women expect their needs to be as important as those of men. They also hope for favorable circumstances under which they would have the chance of developing their full potential. Such wishes are especially characteristic of young women. Most female migrants attempt to expand their roles through labor market activity. Their migration, often caused by economic factors, has enabled them to feel active and needed.

Attachment is a permanent emotional bond activated in children by signals that they perceive as frightening, dangerous or stressful, while in the parents’ attachment system of care, it is activated by the goal of satisfying children’s needs. The aim of this research was to determine which strategies mothers use in their interaction with children, aged 5 to 7 (N = 80) during their cognitive problem solving. More specifically, the goal was to ascertain if there is a difference in the sensitivity to children’s cognitive needs on the part of mothers of securely and mothers of insecurely attached children. Compared to mothers of insecurely attached children, mothers of securely attached children more often help their child by giving it appropriate instructions (scaffolding). Mothers of insecurely attached children, in situations when the child’s solution is incorrect, more often help their children by giving them long explanations, regardless whether the child listens or understands what is been said (a monologue).

The study is based on the observation that when portraying the character of mother in TV series, there is the repeated use of specific elements and attributes that create the character. By analysing thirty series that involve the theme of family, it is trying to define several groups of characteristics that make up the few repeated models when portraying a mother. It defines these models in terms of dramaturgy, therefore in the way in which they should appear to television viewers. It also points out that the same model of portrayal can be found in different genre contexts.

Informed by the theories of Antonio Damasio on the emotional mappings of the mind, the present article probes into the Irish writer Colm Tóibín’s The Testament of Mary (2012), originally written for the stage as a solo play and later adapted into a novella, to disclose the resistance narrative of a grieving mother against the official accounts of the Passion of Christ. The ageing Mary of this text, who is granted voice and body, defies the symbolic representations of female suffering and sorrow that have nurtured cultural history and memory for centuries, and engages in a corporeal rendering of her version, which she intends to leave as her Testament to the world. The shaping of her consciousness is thus substantiated on her embodiment as woman and mother, against the iconic disembodied Virgin Mary that has formed the axis of the Catholic cult of Mariology, ultimately contributing to dissolve the classical dichotomies body/mind and matter/spirit, which will be analysed in depth.

This paper examines the linguistic image of the word “matka” (mother) in Slovak and its profiles. Theoretically, the paper is based on the principles of Slavic ethno-linguistics, and the examination of the Slovak linguistic image of mother relies on available relevant linguistic and empirical data. The analysis of linguistic data includes an examination of the lexical meaning captured in explanatory dictionaries, an examination of images of mother in Slovak phraseological units, as well as of the etymology of the lexeme “matka”. The empirical data was collected via questionnaire, and the paper both evaluates and correlates it with linguistic image of the word “matka” in Slovak. Finally, the paper enumerates individual profiles of “matka” in Slovak.
