Abstracts

The research project mostly concentrates on gender topic. I carry out research in three small mountainous villages in Northern Slovakia. I am interested in peasant people, especially women, and different aspects of their lives: Their life strategies (how they survive) in this mountainous part of Slovakia. I use the oral history method which has not been so common in Czech and Slovak research until now, but which is still one of frequently used qualitative methods. I decided to use this method because it is suitable for the aim of my project. I would like to record and preserve the remarkable stories of ordinary women’s lives in these villages. My intention is to prepare these data for further processing and analysis. I suppose that these stories would be a unique material for further studying and preservation of specific style of life which is slowly disappearing.
