Basing on his scientific involvement in the field of ethnology in the totalitarian era, the author reflects on: (a)- a personal path leading to the study of urban ethnology; (b)- the reasons for shift or interest to the issue of Jewish community and distinctive features of his research; (c)- whether and how the Institut of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences served the function of an 'island of positive deviation' in the totalitarian period.

This study is concerned with the contemporary trends of development in the urban research in Slovak ethnology which have been evolving since the 1980s. The author summarises the findings on this orientation in the course of the last decade and, based on their analysis, identifies the main thematic trends, comments on their content and indicates the methodological connections of the current dialogue of Slovak ethnology and the urban research developing within its framework. As its broader context, the study employs the currently on-going communication of Slovak ethnology and social/cultural anthropology as two distinct disciplines. As analysis shows, urban ethnology in Slovakia has developed in three different directions in the period under review. (1) In the form of a broad current of themes and approaches it continued the research and interpretative trends which set in during the 1980s and especially during the 1990s. (2) The second developmental trend which is postulated is a successful attempt to integrate the research results of Slovak ethnologists into a European context of examination of the processes of diversity in towns, on the basis of participation in the Network of Excellence Project entitled Sustainable Development in a Diverse World. Communication with the theoretical premises of urban researches by the European social sciences (anthropology, sociology, demography and so forth) has provided Slovak researchers with an opportunity to gain new thematic and methodological stimuli which have been utilised abroad for study of the town. (3) A third direction of development in urban research is identified by the author as the research and especially the theoretical activity of the youngest generation of academic Slovak ethnologists, who in working with the empirical material gained from research of Slovak towns have declared anthropological premises and knowledge goals. Although they are not consciously developing their work in the context of urban ethnology, on closer inspection it is apparent that they have an opportunity to influence its further thematic and theoretical orientation. Their work offers a critical evaluation and use of theories from a number of social and human sciences; they point to the inescapable need to cultivate terminological discipline and reject the intuitive employment of theoretical concepts.

Since 1889 the central areas of Slovak towns have undergone striking changes in content and function. One may rate positively the exclusion of traffic and the introduction of pedestrian zones where the commercial and social-cultural potential of the town is normally concentrated. This has created opportunities for meeting, casual trade and social contacts. Based on research on the changes of content and function in the centre of Banska Bystrica, one may say that the historic memory of the town has come into confrontation with the new contents, meanings and symbols immediately present in the town's central areas. The nodes of communication are gradually changing in the process of transformation, while at the same time modernisation fills with new contents above all those 'vacated places' which were distinctively marked by socialism in the recent past. Freedom of enterprise, free trade and the market mechanism have permitted new elements and processes to penetrate to the town spaces, visible in the ethnicity of shopkeepers and business executives as well as in the massive inrush of hypermarkets and shopping centres. A positive phenomenon is the fact that in the process of rebuilding the square and its adjoining streets the original historic character of the town centre has been preserved and courtyards have been opened up and made accessible to the public, with suitable building extensions for small shops and enterprises. However, the construction of a commercial-social centre situated in the vicinity of the pedestrian zone has disrupted many of the square's functions and much commercial and social activity has transferred itself to this new complex.
