The article discusses the changes in folk culture in Poland in relation to musical folklore. Modifications of traditional music during the last decades of the nineteenth century, and particularly the twentieth century, have been greatly intensified as a result of violent social, economic and cultural changes, of growing ease and frequency of intercultural contacts, and of development and spread of media techniques. Folklorist movement, which for years has been almost the only carrier of folk tradition, counteracts its total disappearance. However, although folklorism has saved from extinction many forms of music and dance which are part of cultural heritage, it inevitably led to their transformation. A particularly significant direction of transformation is the intermixing and standardisation of folk song and music repertory and its stylistic features, including the performance ones, leading to the blurring of differences between subregions, and even regions, also aided by social integration at national level. Another phenomenon characteristic of contemporary folklorist movement is professionalisation. This is the inevitable result of stage and festival competition practice, which enforces rising levels of performance from members of regional ensembles. Models of folk instruments become better adapted to stage performances through a synthesis of optimal solutions (in terms of construction and method) available from folk instrumentation on a regional and national scale, as well as from professional instrumentation. Such innovations sometimes lead to a change in the musical features of an instrument, including even its sound range, but for instrument manufacturers and for folk musicians it is usually more important to perfect the instrument, to achieve better timbre and to increase its musical possibilities, than to preserve its typological correctness. The spectacular aspect of folk movement also encourages instrument ornamentation, which was not the norm in folk culture.

This paper explores global K-pop's negotiation and reconstruction of Korean aesthetics via the dismantling, adoption, appropriation, and transfiguring of central elements of Korean traditional culture. Recently, K-pop groups have been incorporating traditional music and dance (gugak), traditional attire (hanbok), traditional houses (hanok), and old palaces (gogung) into music videos disseminated globally over digital platforms like YouTube. In their efforts to incorporate more 'Koreanness' into their musical productions and neutralize criticisms of their use of the 'K' prefix as inauthentic and unconnected to Korean aesthetics, groups like BTS and BLACKPINK are redefining 'K-heritage' for music consumers worldwide. Along with other globally consumed Hallyu productions like K-movies, K-dramas, and K-games, K-Pop is in the process of reconstructing Koreans' and the world's view of the meaning of Koreanness.

Primary education in Slovakia represents one of the critical environments for educating children about traditional folk culture and intangible cultural heritage. Traditional music – represented especially by traditional folk songs – has occupied an essential position in this context for many decades. Moreover, there is a significant spectrum of other possible topics related to musical folklore and suitable for creative music education, such as traditional multipart singing and vocal techniques, traditional music bands and their repertoire, ethnic aspects of musical culture in Slovakia, or traditional children's musical instruments. Through our research, we tried to answer the following question: What are the current conditions for developing competencies and knowledge in musical folklore or traditional music provided by primary schools in Slovakia today? Building upon research conducted in three main areas of primary education in Slovakia, this contribution presents the results of a comprehensive study focused on the official education documents of the former State Pedagogy Institute of the Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic (today NIVAM) and didactic tools used, created or circulated by music teachers themselves via the Internet. This contribution also presents the main problematic issues regarding education in traditional music and its cultural representations in today's school environment. Ultimately, it suggests essential tasks for the experts in traditional music, which could significantly improve the quality of the education process regarding traditional music and intangible cultural heritage (living heritage) and the conditions of today's music teachers.

Gender studies are among the least developed research areas in ethnomusicology in Slovakia. The gender aspect has, however, been integrated into the majority of Slovak works devoted to folk song, music and dance tradition. It has become part of several research themes and circles, where its role has been that of a partial standpoint. This study summarises the results thus far of the application of the gender aspect in selected research circles (genres, multi-part singing and dance types). Special attention is given to studies on women in traditional song culture, which began to appear in Slovakia from the turn of the 1980s, focused on tradition bearers, song genres and mental images.
