After the years 1945-1948, the structure of scholarly life in Czechoslovakia changed dramatically. Pressure on the part of political regimes established during and immediately after the war strongly influenced the personality formation of young scholars and encouraged their conformity with official ideology. It also led to the partial loss of knowledge about previous generations of scholars. In some cases it resulted in career change, the concealment of politically incorrect personal information and contacts. The authoress traces the evolution of a former Slavic linguist, PhDr. Adam Pranda, CSc. (1924 -1984), explaining how he became the leading personality of Slovak ethnology during his lifetime. Some hitherto unknown biographical facts are disclosed which shed light on Pranda's career, thereby adding a deeper perspective to the history of postwar ethnology in Slovakia. She pays attention mainly to the education of Adam Pranda at the elite Catholic 'gymnasium' in Klástor pod Znievom (near Martin), to his literary talent and brings examples of his young and older literary pieces in poetry and prose, mainly unpublished. Further, she reveals the details of his study at the former Slovak (present Comenius) University in Bratislava and his education in linguistics and sociology and his beginnings as a Slavic linguist and sociolinguist. Under stalinist political pressure, Pranda was compelled to give up his promising career as a linguist and shortly after put into 'PTP' - corrective camp and forced to work as a builder. In 1954 only A. Pranda was allowed to start his research work in ÚLUV (Center for folk artisans) in Bratislava, where he took advantage of his linguist training and good knowledge of folk artisans and technologies of folk production. After seven years in ÚLUV, Pranda was allowed to work as a research worker in ethnology in former Národopisný ústav SAV (Institute of Ethnology, Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava) and profiled himself as a highly qualified and esteemed ethnologist in study of changes of the folk culture. The authoress discloses his early linguist and sociolinguist works and shows the wide palette of his fruitful mature scholarly life in ethnology.

This paper is concerned with the contributions which the review section of Slovak Ethnology published during the period from the journal’s inception to the end of the 1980s. Attention is focused on those reviews which were unforced, i.e. which drew attention to publications whose importance was not determined by the officially sanctioned plans for scholarly activity. The paper shows how these reviews, by drawing attention to foreign publications and projects, contributed to extending the research field and differentiating methodological premises.

The states, regions and nations on both sides of the iron curtain have very different experience from the period after WWII. After enlargement, the institutions in the Western Europe and in the postcommunist coutries seem to be the same: European. But the reality is different: differences are the outcome of the 'divided history'. In the academic institutions the situation is similar. In this essay, the author focuses the current position of the humanities, and first of all Slovak ethnology facing the process of European integration.

The text addresses the profile and content of the Slovak Ethnology journal, with emphasis on the ethnic question in the years 2007-2011. In the introductory part the situation of Slovakia is contextualised, in terms of the information flow in world anthropological and folkloristic discourse. Subsequently the question is posed: who publishes in the journal, and what themes are addressed there? It is shown that the ethnic question has a very important role in terms of promoting the concept of ethnicity as a component of human identity. From the point of view of the orientation of content and themes, the journal receives a highly positive rating.

The socialist period is one of the current and developing areas of research in ethnology. The study deals with ethnological research of the socialist period, focusing on the urban environment. An introductory overview examines research between 1948 and 1989 and the present research (post-1989), with an emphasis on urban localities. In the next section, it considers some of the key issues that arise in relation to ethnology's approach to this period. The first of these is whether ethnological research on the past, and thus on socialism, should focus on the reconstruction of a way of life or on its representations. Another is whether we can speak of a specifically socialist way of life, socialist culture and especially how this applies in urban settings.

This paper is a segment of a project on the history of scientific thought in Slovakia, devoted to individual scientific figures. The author is concerned on ethnographer Michal Markus, a Slovak born in Hungary, who came to Slovakia in 1947 in the context of an exchange of Slovak and Hungarian populations after the Second World War. M. Markus, a trained ethnographer and linguist, who had defended his doctorate in Budapest University and worked for ten years in a museum in Budapest, brought a notable increase of strength at a time when ethnographic science in Slovakia was began to be professionalized. He began to apply his theoretical and practical knowledge in practice at the East Slovakian Museum in Kosice, where from 1952 to 1957 he worked as director. From 1951 he held the position of elected president of the Museum Committee of the Union of Slovak Museums (ZSM) and began to press effectively to have qualified professionals appointed to work in museums. The communist takeover in Czechoslovakia in 1948 brought new tendencies into the museum field. Museum work was orientated towards a thoroughgoing teaching of history as it is to say in its contemporary interpretation; exhibition was conceived as an instrument for political education and propagation of political tasks. Instead of the 'teaching of history', what was put into effect was a 'teaching by history' or 'formation through history'. Hence in the late 1950s the activities of ZSM also began to be transferred to politically directed institutions and the activity of museums as professional organs came to an end. M. Markus's further activity was focused on the scientific-research work. In 1950 a branch of the Slovak Academy of Science's Ethnographic Institute was formed in Kosice at the East Slovakian Museum, which Markus was appointed to lead, along with his work at the Museum. He carried out the first collective research in communities which had had to be relocated for military reasons. In 1954 his further research work was connected with the most significant ethnographic project of the time - creation of the monograph 'The Mining Village of Zakarovce' (publ. 1956). From the standpoint of the history of our scientific discipline this was a research breakthrough, in which contemporary ethnography had to set itself in the framework of the Marxist-Leninist conception of culture and commit itself to a politically demanded object of research. In his scientific-research work M. Markus made a priority of the area of culinary culture, which he described as the most neglected area of Slovak ethnography and in subsequent years published a series of fundamental works on this question.

This paper is about the monograph on the Slovak village Cerovo, published in 1906 by Karel Chotek, the first professor of ethnography at the Comenius University in Bratislava and the pioneer of qualitative field research in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and later in Czechoslovakia. Following Lubor Niederle’s demographical data published in the map of the Slovak community living in Hungary, Cerovo, a village in the Hont region, shows Chotek’s first attempt to cover the set of questions related to the monograph’s focus on people in their cultural setting via field research and direct experience. Though still partly immersed in stereotypes related to Czech utilitarian conceptualisation of Slovak collective identity, Chotek’s monograph shows the first step on the way to an ambitious serial (though mostly unfulfilled) project of regional monographs, known as Národopis lidu českoslovanského (The Ethnography of Czechoslavic People, 1918–1940). In the early 1950s, working already as a professor of Slavic and general ethnography at the Charles University in Prague since 1931, Chotek returned to Cerovo with an idea of a new, comparative and reconceptualised focus on the same settlement as a half century before. Even though he did not succeed in completing this new monograph, his experience inspired a number of students at the Charles University, who later pursued Chotek’s field research inspiration as important figures of Czech and Slovak ethnography during the rest of the 20thcentury (the so-called “Chotek school”). Besides rethinking the events related to the Czecho-Slovak relationship in the formative decade of professional scientific ethnography in Czech lands before World War I and, last but not least, analysing the so far unknown context of Chotek’s second expedition to Cerovo in 1953,the picture of Chotek developing his field research method from a descriptive analysis to a more structured circle of special questions/issues in the 1950s is an attempt to capture some of the methodological changes Czechoslovak ethnography went through during the first half of the 20thcentury.

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.

Technologies, enabling to record findings obtained by open-field research, have marked the development of ethnology. The contribution deals with the penetration of modern technologies into research work methods employed by ethnologists since the middle of the 20th century up to the present. The focus is on the ethnological photography, drawings, the film and video documentation and the Internet. The authoress states three paradoxes that characterize the development of ethnology in the contemporary world of technologies. As it is in ordinary communication between people, the direct contacts between researcher and the informant become more and more often substituted by technological devices. The tendency of ethnologists to examine the contemporary society means not only to convert the new forms of communication into an object of their exploration but also to employ them as useful research tools in their scientific discipline.
