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.

The influence of the political decisions on the development of agriculture and therefore on people engaging in primary agricultural production becomes more intensive with the development of civilisation. The state (its power and political elite) tends to unify social space and to control the functioning of its areas. This tendency culminated in Slovakia during the second half of 20th century in time of collectivization and decollectivization of agriculture. During the second half of 20th century there were two considerable discontinuities: first, collectivization of agriculture in 50s, and second, decollectivization in 90s. Both were politically controlled processes, and therefore their effect had been essential for the way of life and life strategies of people engaging in agricultural production. The author tries to understand these processes and their social and cultural context and to delineate possible development of agriculture as well as of people engaging in it.

The Orava region, located in the northernmost part of Slovakia is significantly differs in climate conditions from other regions. Cold climate also heavily influences living conditions of local people. Back in the day it was typical for people living in this cold, mountainous, barren area to be humble and live modest way of life on the brink of misery and famine. The aim of the study is to present information about the local specifics of the way of life, language and traditional folk culture of the inhabitants of the Orava County, in Matej Bel’s work - Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica („Historical and Geographical Knowledge of New Hungary“). We will view the facts contained in this work from an ethnographic angle in relation to population at that point in time, ethnicity its customs and traditions.

The article shows the basic trends in the changes of the way of life of people in the Hlučínsko micro-region. The way of life has been defined as a set of rules orienting individual‘s behaviour in events of one's life. A specific tool was designed for the analysis of the modernization of the way of life. The source of the changes of the way of life is the effort of the innovators to fulfil their authentic needs. Giddens` theory of double structuration is used as an explanation of the specific processes of transformation of the way of life allowing to highlighting the role of reflexivity in the transformation of the rules of the way of life. Guided by the principles of the explanatory frame, the empirical analysis has shown the most important processes of modernization of the way of life in Hlučín mikro-region. It is possible to identify them in the following areas – work life, family life and religious life.

In this article we use survey data to test three arguments on the relationship between social stratification and the way of life (including cultural consumption): „homology“, „individualisation“ and „omnivore – univore“ arguments. The conclusion of our analysis is the relationship of social stratification and the way of life (including cultural consumption) in Slovak society is currently best characterized by the class homology argument. Thus, it can be said that members of basic social classes as well as people with different socio-economic status live by separate, different ways of life, which also include different ways of their cultural consumption. It can reasonably be assumed that the different ways of life of members of social classes and status groups not only share their specific characteristics but also contribute to the definition of their social position (including the definition of symbolic boundaries between them) and their interrelations in the system of class and status order of the Slovak society.
