The paper presents the overview of the magazines published by the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Serbia, especially focusing on the periodical Evanjelický hlásnik (since 1926) between the years 1996 and 2016. The analysis of the magazines complements the history of Vojvodina Slovaks´ journalism as well as it speaks of the condition of the Evangelical Church, its organization, publishing activity, the mutual relations between the church (of the national minority) and the state (Serbia), and also of the standard and the forms of the Slovak language in the territory of Vojvodina.

Calendar rituals are usually important and representative part of each culture system. Their concrete form is determined by the immanent spatial, ethnic, confessional, socio-professional, intercultural and transcultural influences. Transformation of the calendar rituals is not usually random or spontaneous process because the dynamics of culture is always adapting to current conditions. The contemporary forms of calendar rituals among Slovak community in Serbia's Vojvodina, area Vojlovica-Pancevo, are the results of ethno-cultural sovereignty of the community, its long-term coexistence with-present Hungarian minority and the surrounding Serb majority, contacts with other Slovak Lowland communities and Slovaks in Slovakia and transcultural acting globalization of culture.

Since its establishment at the end of the 18th century, the culture of the Slovaks from Vojvodina has developed in two ways: the first one reflects their effort to constantly follow the phenomena present in the cultural setting of Slovakia and to have an active dialogue with them. The second one arises from the specific environment of Vojvodina, where these Slovaks landed up. The article is focused on the analysis of this cultural situation, trying to answer the questions to what extent the information about culture of Slovaks from Vojvodina occurs in the cultural context in Slovakia, and to what extent the share of particular cultural phenomena is reflected while having in mind the contribution of Vojvodina´s specifics.

The process of privatization of companies basically generates the transfer of ownership of companies, which leads to the change of management form to private companies and persons. The subject of this research is to determine the scopes and challenges of the privatization process in the Republic of Serbia. The goal of the research is to define the level of applicability and adaptability of privatization models under transitory conditions. The basic hypothesis of the research is that there is a correlative relationship between the numbers of offered and sold companies and the methods used. The results of this research will indicate the scopes, challenges and efficiency of the privatization processes in Serbia, appropriately providing a scientific background for further research in the area. The object of the research are the scopes and challenges of privatization in the case of the Republic of Serbia with a special overview on the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina as the most developed region of Serbia and under the hypothesis that the effects of privatization on the territory of AP Vojvodina are greatly felt on the whole territory of Serbia.

Slovak dialects in Vojvodina have preserved the features of the 18th century vernacular. This research aims at establishing their origin and development. This paper pays special attention to typical residual and innovative phonetic and morphological features. The analysis relies on the vernacular of Stara Pazova and compares it with other Slovak vernaculars in localities where Slovaks live. The emphasis is placed on similarities and differences in the reflexes of proto-Slavic phonemes and new phenomena. Some of the features occur in the vernaculars in Slovakia, while others have emerged in a new setting.

The paper deals with the aspects of the genre of the essay titled Rozhovory o juhoslovanských Slovákoch /Dialogues about Yugoslavian Slovaks by Andrej Mráz in the context of research into literature written in the interwar period. The goal of the paper is to present the invariant elements and the special features of Mráz´s essay as well as to show how inspiring it is in the present. The paper builds on the fundamental studies on essay as a genre by A. Bagin, R. Chmel, P. Valček, M. Horváth as well as the assessment of Andrej Mráz´s literary work by A. Matuška, K. Rosenubaum, V. Petrík, O. Čepan. Mráz´s essay deserves attention in the context of updating the inter-literary dialogue between Slovakia and Yugoslavia, i.e. Vojvodina. In relation to that the paper shows the special features of Mráz´s genre form within the history of the genre in Slovakia. The essay-like elements are also contained in less extensive articles by A. Mráz dedicated to the subject. The bibliography of the works by Andrej Mráz compiled in 1964 is extended by a list of his writings published in Yugoslavian magazines. The essay is considered to be inspiring in the context of developing the Slovak – Vojvodina inter-literary relations. What is also stimulating is Mráz´s critical attitude to the efforts to gain a more objective understanding of ourselves and the others.

In the course of the 20th century many writers attempted to define the distinctive cultural code of the Slovaks in Vojvodina, the historical Slovak enclave in Serbia. The musicologist, music teacher, composer and performer Martin Kmeť (1926 – 2011), who came from this enclave, produced work in ethnomusicology especially which surpassed those local limits and won him a place in the broader context of ethnomusicology in Central Europe. He documented, analysed, classified, and comparatively studied the Slovak folk songs of Vojvodina, and based on this, he defined the specific qualities of the music and musical imagination of those belonging to that enclave. The aim of this study is to elucidate the ethnomusicological achievement of Martin Kmeť and, using the knowledge that he attained in his works, to point to some specific aspects of the musical culture of Slovaks in Vojvodina in the area of traditional folk music.

This article focuses on research of military and recruiting songs in the Slovak ethnic enclave in Vojvodina, which hitherto have not been closely researched or evaluated. The song material was excerpted from selected archival holdings and published song collections; besides these, it is also drawn from song repertoire which the author documented during her own field work in certain localities of Vojvodina. Military songs are classified in a number of groups (as defined by the Slovak ethnomusicologist Soňa Burlasová), which are more closely characterised from the thematic and musical standpoints. The author compares the excerpted song material with military and recruiting songs from the territory of Slovakia, while pointing to their changes in the new setting of the Slovak enclave in Serbia.

This article explores the current migration of the Slovak community members of Serbia to Slovakia, focusing on their perception of safety and risk, in the period since 1990 when the post-Communist transition began both in Serbia and Slovakia. The authors attempt to analyse how the members of the given community, who migrated to Slovakia during the reference period, perceive Slovakia today from the point of view of their safety, understood as the search for freedom from threats. They focus on individual safety factors (life, health, status, wealth and freedom). After 1990, Slovakia became not only a country left by migrants, but also a country of destination for migrants. One such migrant group is the members of Slovak communities abroad, in particular Serbia, Romania and Ukraine. The first wave of migration of Slovaks from Serbia took place in the early 1990s in connection with the violent ethnic conflicts in former Yugoslavia, and the next one as a result of the global financial crisis in 2008, which intensified after 2015. The main push factors of the migration of Vojvodina Slovaks to Slovakia in the 1990s included attempts to avoid mobilisation and participation in combat operations; after 2008, the key role was played primarily by material issues which they perceived as an existential threat to themselves and to their families. The main pull factor in favour of choosing Slovakia comprise of the relatively small administrative barriers and linguistic proximity. While our interlocutors regarded their concerns about the impacts of the 1990s war conflicts as short-term threats, they perceived the social impacts of the economic transition and uncontrolled global financial crisis after 2008 as long-term or even permanent threats. In this context, they consider Slovakia a safe country. The article is based on extensive multi-sited fieldwork – in-depth interviews with the members of the community – and on other available sources (legal documents, statistical data, media, etc.).

The poet, national revivalist, folk songs collector, and evangelical pastor Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831) was active among Slovaks inhabiting the area of today’s Serbian Vojvodina from 1795 until his death. His literary activity can be reflected in several ways: he was a poet in the Classicist style, author of texts aimed at defending and highlighting the contribution of Slovaks to the social and national life in Hungary, and he also made a significant contribution to the collecting of Slovak folk songs for Ján Kollár’s project Národnie spievanky [National songs]. In all of Rohoň’s works one can find echoes of Enlightenment views and 18th century Enlightenment philosophy. The article analyses the relationship between the impulses of Enlightenment ideas and the literary works in which these impulses resonate and points to the overlap of the tendencies in question towards pre-Romanticism, focusing on works that highlight the category of the nation and also on the question of the historical development and presence of Slovaks/Slavs in history.

This paper analyses the transformation of poetics from modernism to postmodernism in the poetry of Vojvodina Slovaks. The main methodological sources which we have used are the monograph Individualizovaná literatúra by Jaroslav Šrank and V poschodovom labyrinte byViliam Marčok, as well as the study by Dubravka Djurić. As a result of the analysis we have identified three sources of transformation from modern poetics to postmodernism in the poetry of the late sixties of the 20th century: intertextuality, neo avant-garde intermediality and the poetry of the Beat Generation. The only generalization which follows from the analysis is the variety of poetics during postmodernism. We have also identified two phases in the transformation from modernism to postmodernism in the poetry from Vojvodina. In the first phase the transformation consisted of spontaneous reactions of the authors to the contemporary literary influences. The second phase was a purposeful use of the postmodern manner, deconstruction as a source of the new semiotization. We consider the main conclusion of this paper to be the realization that the poetry of Vojvodina Slovaks has also been transformed by the influence of the poetry from Slovakia although some of the processes of postmodernism in Vojvodina predate those in Slovakia.

The intensive folk life of Slovaks in Vojvodina after 1918, when they became a part of a new country – the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and later on Yugoslavia – was also reflected in the development of publishing, which opened a special place to a twofold genre- travel books. The author of such literature of different qualities about the Balkans was mainly the intellectual with a cosmopolitan orientation, Andrej Labáth (1886 – 1934) in magazine Národná jednota (National Unity) and in almanac Národný kalendár (National Calendar). In his works, he placed focus on geographic, historical and economic characteristics of unique locations in the Balkans that is, within the borders of the former Kingdom, and captured stereotypical images of that time through their cultural and geographic aspects. His texts about travels have primarily features of publications, but from the perspective of selected imagological method, they are model-texts about the form (not only) of stereotypes of the time. Positive and negative stereotypes in his travel books are the products of specific historical and social circumstances. He visited regions such as Slovenia, Dalmatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and he illustrated the idea of Slavic peoples adapting to e.g. Adriatic Sea area. He also used the ideological function of travel books in the spirit of national geography and national emblematic which derived from identifying with history of brotherly, Serbian people, as it is shown in the travels around Kosovo and Macedonia. At the same time, he analysed images show both the other and different, as well as self-presentation and self-identification. As such they present a considerable stereotypical cultural antagonism of the West and East (presenting the contrast between: Kosovo, Macedonia-Slovenia, Kosovo – Vojvodina/Backa). The images (geographical, historical, ethnic, confessional, economic) of such a heterogeneous country of South Slavs located in the Balkan Peninsula in line with a concrete presentation of their new homeland, are among Slovaks in Vojvodina becoming tools of strengthening their national consciousness, but in contact with the other and foreign they also strengthen their self-images as a hard-working ethnicity.

The goal of the paper is to show that Lower-land Vojvodina (Northern Serbia), which was inhabited in the second half of the 18th century by Slovak evangelicals of the Augsburg confession for economic and religious reasons, was an environment where specific literary culture was created being mainly based on religious and educational literature. It focuses on one of the significant manifestations of this sort of literature, i.e. catechism production, which features two characteristic lines: the original domestic catechism (Matej Ambrózi Jádro náboženství křesťanského ku prospěchu evangelických konfirmantů - The Core of Christian Religion to the Benefit of Evangelical Confirmands, 1844) and the adaptation of a translation of a foreign (German) catechism (Leopold Abafi – Heinrich Wendel: Výklad malého katechismu Dr. Martina Luthera - The Interpretation of Dr Martin Luther´s Small Catechism, 1870). The paper, which is a result of literary and historical research methodologically and empirically anchored in the region of Vojvodina, is the first to clarify the circumstances and the context of creating both of the catechisms, although Abafi´s edition of Wendel´s catechism (nowadays archived in the parish library in Stará Pazova) is not available in Slovakia at all. Besides the first interpretative probe, which shows to what extent the artistic ambitions of the creators of the editions analysed were fulfilled, it interconnects and reflects on the discussion of the genre of catechism at that time.

The study focuses on issues of cooperation and reciprocity in the theoretical context, designated as mutualist approach. This approach is confronted with altruistic models of cooperation. The study is based on author ś long-term field research of cooperation during field works by farmers in Serbia. On the basis of the description of the origin, the process and the end of costly forms of cooperation, he sought to describe the social and psychological factors that are important for stable cooperation. In this context, emphasis is placed on the evolved sense for fairness and sensitivity to moral reputation and its evaluative and communication aspects which disseminate and stabilise the social norms of cooperation. Also attention is paid to conflicts of interest that motivated farmers to misuse cooperation, and to an analysis of the ways of resolving potential disputes. The results of the study show the sensitivity of peasants to the proportionality of their contribution and the benefits obtained from cooperation, including expectations regarding proportionality between their rights and obligations. When these expectations were not met, their cooperation ended. Due to the threat of open conflicts, they preferred less costly, symbolic sanctions or their institutional coverage. The key to stable cooperation seems to be the sticking to mutual benefits and mutual respect for farmers’ interests. Moreover, the mutualistic approach can also be used to describe many cases of altruistic help, which, however, does not exclude sincere willingness and an effort to help without claiming any reward.
