The starting point of the authoress' considerations is the thesis that cultural heritage performs a particular role in national identification, particularly in this day and age. It seems from her observations that most of society associates cultural heritage with huge buildings, museum-pieces, and monuments, with tangible objects, whereas in fact it consists of everything that surrounds us, from artefacts to religion, language, literature or music. Memory and its cultivation should also be regarded as a part of cultural heritage, because they provide a basis of every activity and without memory, political, historical or sociological manipulations deprive a nation of identity. The sooner we realise what cultural inheritance is, what the identity is, replying to such questions as: 'Who am I', and 'How do I differ from everybody else?', the sooner we will present ourselves to the world as a nation deeply rooted in history and culture. Differences among theorists who tackle the subject of cultural inheritance in the age of globalisation are outlined. Some regard it as being focused on 'the protection of folklore, own tradition, language or dialect'. There are also those for whom it carries the hope for both modernisation and the overtaking the most developed countries by implementing Western culture templates as symbols of advance or emancipation. One thing is certain, however, this process has not erased the symbols of cultural heritage but rather has consolidated it. States, regions, and cities are able to cultivate to perfection cultural heritage and tradition without rejecting modernism and innovation while they remain open to the world. So, instead of becoming indignant at globalisation, we should draw on, and assimilate those experiences, which could most effectively influence the way our heritage is protected. This process, however, should not be regarded as a threat, but rather as a means of understanding, what the heritage, culture and tradition really mean to the nation.

The article discusses funerary customs characteristics of Ragusa in the late Middle Ages on the basis of funeral descriptions included in the book entitled Situs aedificiorum, politiae et laudabilium consuetudinum inclitae civitatis Ragusi. The text was written at the turn of the 1440s by Philip de Diversis, born in Lucca and teaching in Ragusa. It represents the late-mediaeval genre of laudes civitatum, aimed at praising the town. It is addressed to Ragusa nobles, members of the Great Council. It is divided into four parts, devoted to: the convenient location of the town, its important edifices, both sacred and secular, the typology and functions of the town’s offices and armed forces, and a wide presentation of the town’s customs, both religious and secular, including funeral ceremonies. Diversis focuses on describing ceremonies connected with the death of patricians. Characteristic features of Ragusan funerals were: a procession through the streets of the town, a service in the cathedral, an important element of which was a valediction praising the deceased person, and a several-days-long feast attended by the members of the social class of the deceased. Diversis notes the special role of women in local funerals, describing patrician women walking in corteges and the loud laments of hired mourners. After the funeral and the service the women of the deceased person’s family mourned and feasted in their honour in seclusion for many days. The men, on the other hand, gathered to feast in the late person’s house and stayed there for three days. All the rituals described by Diversis reflect the intention the cultivate the memory of the deceased member of the community; they also highlight the significant and characteristic role of the feast in commemorative practices. The author noted the presence of representatives of the patriciate and of the town council; he also stressed that it was only Ragusa nobles that had a right to be commemorated with a mass in the most important locus sacer of the town. The patriciate was also represented at the funerals of town clerks, which was a way to commemorate and honour those who had served the town and its citizens. The author stressed that the customary ritual was different when the deceased person was a victim of an epidemics. In his description of funeral ceremonies Diversis did not mention the town cemetery; in another place he wrote that town citizens were buried the churches of the Dominican and Franciscan orders. It is certain, however, that those churches could not have been the only burial places in the town. The author disregarded the role of religious fraternities in funeral ceremonies, which was probably aimed at foregrounding the role of the patriciate in those celebrations. The author of the article pays special attention to the description of the funeral of one of Hungarian kings. By organising this ceremony the Ragusa nobles probably wanted to manifest their connections with the majesty of a Christian monarch. During the ceremony they acted as this part of the town community that was responsible for commemorating the dead king.

Culture as a very complex phenomenon of multiple meanings is an integral part of the educational reality. In this article we highlight the different contexts of culture and education and their relationship. We analyse culture as a part of the learning environment and one of the external determinants influencing the educational process. Given the anthropological background of culture and education we raise the question of "educated man" and the need to educate.

Tourism is considered to be the strongest sector of the economy in the world. In regional development it serves as a tool of economic, social, environmental and cultural increase. Today tourism becomes not only an economic system but also a cultural phenomenon. Tourism as a way of life or as a product of human plays an important role in cultural science, specifically in culturology. The article bears a complex view on the issue of the relationship between tourism and culture in which the bilateral effect is stressed. While the impact of culture in tourism is regarded as positive, even further fundamental for tourism realisation, the opinion of a tourism impact on culture are different. On one hand tourism is considered to be a starter of globalisation and other negative cultural values. On other hand positive effects as an increase of cultural identity and conservation of cultural heritage is emphasized. In article the main view is dedicated to balance between cultural and economic opinions where positive effects are spread to both areas.

The question about the essence of theoretical pedagogical knowledge constitutes the keynote of the article. The author justifies that one of the fundamental elements of this knowledge is the knowledge of men and their growing up, but it is insufficient to describe and analyze the educational situation of contemporary man. According to the author, an important source of this knowledge is the knowledge of human culture in their local dimension with regard to tradition and civilization change as well as its diverse spheres.

The global turn in literary studies brings the necessity of looking for new ways to analyse literature and literary history, and to reframe the categories we use to describe it. Transculturality, though in use for the past 30 years, still seems one of the freshest and most promising terms to use in a newly profiled literary study. However, recent publications have proved that the meaning of the term is at best unstable – transculturality is being used in the different, sometimes contradictory ways. This article focuses on some of the issues that one may face when dealing with the notion of transculturality.

Many articles on knowledge management deal with the knowledge 'as such'. The authors neither specify what kind of knowledge they have in mind nor identify the knowledge with innovation and development of employees and their company. However there isn't only one type of knowledge in the organization. Different employees need the knowledge from different areas and a given employee looks for a different knowledge than his or her colleagues although this knowledge may come from the same area. Additionally, various types of knowledge require specific approaches to knowledge management. The article focuses on managing the cross-cultural knowledge, meaning the knowledge how cultural differences influence international business. Global managers need and expect different type of cross-cultural knowledge than expatriates or local employees cooperating with international partners. Managing intercultural knowledge must take into consideration the characteristic of the firm and specific groups of its employees.

With the increasing popularity of Facebook, a new social phenomenon connected with its extensive use has appeared: namely, Facebook intrusion. The main aim of the study was to examine the mediating role of loneliness in the relation between friendships and Facebook intrusion. We analysed data from five countries: Poland (N = 399), Slovakia (N = 266), Syria (N = 475), Ecuador (N = 327), and Malaysia (N = 241). The total sample consisted of 1731 participants who had Facebook accounts; 61% of the participants were women. We administered the Facebook Intrusion Scale, the Loneliness Scale, and the Friendship Scale. The results indicated differences in the role of loneliness and friendship in Facebook intrusion, depending on the country. Among young Polish people, friendship decreases loneliness and loneliness decreases Facebook intrusion. Whereas among Ecuadorians friendship decreases loneliness, while loneliness increases Facebook intrusion.

The author addresses an issue placed in-between cultural anthropology and the philosophy of education. Referring to the current discourse on the impossibility of maintaining the image of a lack of connection between economics and ethics, the author presents the relationship between economic exclusion and the objectification of the excluded which reduces them to "biopolitical mass" status. A particularly worrying consequence of such an anthropological reduction is the adaptation of an educational strategy oriented toward progressively limiting the reproduction of symbolic culture.

The present study deals with the development and form of cultural activities in the surroundings of Mount Rip (Roudnice nad Labem District) in the final phase of formation of a modern Czech nation between 1860 and 1914. This Bohemian region, then situated at the language and ethnic boundary, maintained in the mentioned period of time close contacts with a number of important national artists who had links to the region owing to outstanding regional representatives. Attention of the Czech national movement was fixed upon the region also due to the existence of the nation's sacred hill, Mount Rip in that area. The study views the development of cultural activities taking place in the region as a process at the beginning of which the activities were carried out ‘on behalf of the nation' (national festivities of the 1860s) whereas at the end they were already taking place in the milieu of modern specific Czech culture (foundation of a Gallery of Modern Arts in Roudnice nad Labem in 1910).

Slovak – Hungarian contact zone is historically and culturally specific area showing features of cultural coexistence in various spheres (language, agriculture, building, customs and rituals) rooted in layers of common history, regional/geographical characteristic and the way of life. The argument is based on an analysis of the secondary sources of both Slovak and Hungarian ethnology, history, linguistics and other social science and humanities. Differences found between the cultural phenomena of the two contacting ethnic areas are due to taking over phenomena from the neighbouring culture in the certain stage of its development and also due to accommodation of the phenomena to the various ranges of circumstances.

The aim of this study was to investigate sociodemographic factors that affect self-esteem in two culturally diverse cities of Turkey. A total of 860 subjects selected by stratified random sampling method were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, self-esteem, depression levels, perceived loneliness, support levels and anxiety levels were investigated. Self-esteem was found to be negatively related to depression. Situational and continuous anxiety levels were found to be positively related to perceived social and family support levels. Only education level was found to have a direct effect on self-esteem. The level of income, family structure, number of siblings and the province of residence were found to have an indirect effect on self-esteem. The self-esteem of inhabitants of the western city of Izmir was higher and determined mainly by education and financial levels.

Victor Erofeev is one of the main Russian post-modernists, who applies to culture, religion, intelligence and Russia in his works. Knowing that a modern human moulded by the Internet and television is going to be the audience of his prose, Victor Erofeev tries to shock the reader. To do that he uses vulgar and physiological stylistics. The subject matter of the body and physiology, so typical of post-modernist anthropology, allows the writer to place his characters in the new but far from Russian reality. Erofeev, going into literary discourse with Fyodor Dostoevsky, shows deformed and “raped” human values, which were underestimated in the time of communism. Erofeevis worries if the present days will change this pessimistic process.

Taking into account the long-term scientific research of Jozef Ružička, the author interprets the contribution of his lectures which were published in anthologies named Studia Academica Slovaca between 1965 and 1979.

The article discusses socio-cultural periodicals that were legally published (and censored) in the 1980s. Two periods are clearly distinguishable, with the martial law of 13 December 1981 acting as a dividing line. Beginning from 1982, those periodicals were losing their readership due to the fact that some publicists were banned while others became regular contributors to the underground press or periodicals published abroad. The research was conducted using archival documents from the Archives of New Records (AAN) and OBP RSW reports
