By the opportunity of joining European Union, the authoress deals with the cultural identity and cultural heritage from the point of view of ethnology. According to her premise the traditional folk culture is considered to be a part of the national culture and as this it helps to constitute the cultural heritage of Slovakia. In the same time (as a fragment of the cultural memory) it interferes with a considerable part of the cultural identity and consciousness of the individual, communities and nation. In ethnographical and folkloristic areas she is looking for the answer to the question, what should be considered as cutural heritage and what are the possibilities of Slovakia to present it in the framework of ongoing processes of globalisation of European and world culture.

The article is a contribution to the issue of cultural identity of Zbigniew Herbert and Predrag Matvejevic. Their cultural identity in this article is named the Mediterranean identity. Beginning from the fact that the Mediterranean Basin for these authors seems to be thematic nad ideological dominant, the article discusses problem of identity and origin of European civilization. In Postmodern world that depreciates the elementary values of our civilization, cultural identity has became one of the most important question in human life. The Mediterranean Basin is considered by Herbert and Matvejevic as an asylum which offers them a view into the magnificent past and the reliance in the contemporary. The article consists of four parts which offer different perspectives on the Mediterranean identity. It outlines this identity first of all in perspective of journey as a way of collecting identity and analyses it as a history of life. The author tries to prove that the essence of this identity consists in continuous actualization of Mediterranean heritage - its culture, science and ideas. The conclusion is confirmation that the Mediterranean identity offers the life certainty and the horizon of being.

The author defends the thesis according to which the Middle Ages time is an essential element in the creation of our modern cultural identity due to the fact that just this intermediate epoch prepares conditions that permit in Modern Times to absorb the legacy of Antiquity. It is stressed that only now, having liberated ourselves from the modernist attitude toward the Middle Ages, we start to understand their role in our cultural and intellectual development.

UNCOMFORTABLE SPACES: LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY IN HERTA MŰLLER Ś WORK

The problem of identity in Herta Műller ś work presents the reader with a number of difficulties. First, there is complicated mix of Romanian and German culture of the region of this author ś upbringing. However, because of her experience of trauma and painful testimonies from a family consumed with guilt during a time of state oppression, Műller refrains from choosing a singular version of cultural identity as a representative for the individual, and neither does she opt for a definition of personal identity as something isolated, self-sufficient and untainted by the other ś collective identity. This article addresses the question of identity in Herta Műller ś works using the multiple, almost obsessive references to (Romanian) language and culture in her work. First, the German author ś intertextual connections to Romanian literature are explored. The second part of the article is concerned with Műller ś poetics and her reflections on language. The space between languages becomes an apt metaphor for a fragmented and troubled identity, which is more the result of chance than of choice. Her encounter with Romanian language is a decisive cognitive experience whereby the write becomes fascinated by the divergences between words and things. Living in an oppressive, dictatorial regime means assimilating that space with a culture of violence that can only be exorcised later, through a resort to the critique of nationalist clichés in her Romanian volume Este sau nu est Ion (To Be or Not To Be Ion, 2005). Since culture is defined as plural and ambiguous, it appears that the space of identity is neither inside one culture, nor outside all of them.

The post-colonial world outlook has created a novel research perspective enabling to renew the way literature had been viewed hitherto. Changes in approaching literary text, where the 'centre'/'peripheries' relation occurs to be relative, have not ceased taking place till this very day. This debilitation of cultural divisions conceals however a danger of chaos and uniformisation at the same time. This triggers more questions on cultural identity as a guarantee of subjective existence. A post-colonial perspective renders the 'I vs. the Other' relation a crucial one, making it the only option to self-determine. Literary text thus plays the role of not only extending a cultural identity but primarily, of making present the ego's individual limits in comparative processes. As applied to Polish literature, such approach can lead to a new balance being struck between a 'centre' and a 'periphery', owing to interactive actions.

The ceremony of enthronment of the Carinthian princes is one of the rare examples of state tradition in Central Europe. After the disintegration of the Habsburg empire this tradition is reclaimed both by Austrian Carinthians, dominated by German-speaking population, and Slovenians. The latter claim that medieval Carinthia was a predecessor of the contemporary Slavic state, what is an usurpation for the first ones. The 'knezji kamen', or princes' stone, is an ancient monument and a testimony to this ceremony, materializing its symbolic meanings. Austrian-Slovenian conflict about who has the right to use this symbol is considered here in a broader context of the Slovenian national narrative. A discussion of this and other symbols can point some major aspects of Slovanian cultural identity.

The problem of the national identification appears particularly clearly in the border areas. The national identity in the areas like that should be best considered by analysing behaviour of individuals. Functioning of the culture and national identity could therefore be studied following the examples and individual experiences of the society members.This article presents the attempt of an analytical study of the national identity of a group of Poles inhabiting the Latvian village of Illukszta. The starting point of the analysis was the Kloskowska's a hypothesis on complex (dual) national identification and on perception of the national culture. The authoress of that theory presents four types of the national identification: integral, twin, insecure and cosmopolitan. The selected sample comprised individuals from the intelligentsia group (mostly teachers), 40 and more years old. The group could be further divided into four subgroups: (1) - those who considered themselves as Poles and did not want to learn the Latvian language; (2) - Poles who learnt the Latvian and the culture of the country; (3) - Poles who lost their identity to gain the Latvian identity and (4) - the Russified Poles.The analysis has proved that Kloskowska's hypothesis might be useful when researching and studying the cultural and national identity in the multi-national and multi-cultural environments. The article attempts to set a picture of some phenomena present in the borderline areas - the self-proclaimed identification of an individual when confronting the foreign culture and the language. That particular issue requires additional study in depth, as the superficial consideration of the problem may lead to the false conclusions.

Popularyzacja nauki polskiej w Europie w drugiej połowie XIX wieku jako forma walki o niepodległość i tożsamość kulturową – przypadek Artura Wołyńskiego (1843–1893)

In the second half of the 19th century Polish science was a significant part of national cultural heritage, which had to be guarded, kept in hiding for better days and showed to other European nations as an important evidence of the Polish and favouring independence aspirations. The mentioned inheritance was also a crucial element of national identity – especially for Polish emigrants' circles that had to leave Polish territories after November and January Uprisings. Artur Wołyński (1844–1893) was, undoubtedly, one of the most interesting personages of Polish émigrés after January Uprising. He belonged to these circles of Polish émigrés, who were able to reconcile their patriotic aspirations with realities and interest of the countries that entertained them. As far as Wołyński is concerned, it found its expression in the efforts that were made in order to assimilate two nations – Polish and Italian people – appealing to the common history and familiar cultural traditions. An important element of integrating all the above-discussed actions was his scientific activity tending to popularize Polish science and culture in Italy.

Cyrillic manuscripts show evidence of the Byzantine‑Slavic cultural and traditional formation and development in Slovakia, as well as in the milieu of Slovak ethnic society. From a linguistic point of view and based on the provenance of the described realia, they are an integral part of the Slovak national culture. Mentioned manuscripts thereby represent an important and integral part of the confessional identity of inhabitants of the region, although after the fall of Great Moravia, Latin cultural tradition eventually prevailed in the middle Danube region.

The article concerns the idea of multiculturalism and the role of anthropology in the disputes surrounding it. The first part of the article is devoted to the genesis of multiculturalism and the problems which it creates. These problems centre on the question of whether it is possible to combine multiculturalism with the values of western liberal democracy. Does multiculturism allow for openness to that which is foreign and does it permit cultural separatism? Is western liberalism a symptom of ethnocentricism or is it the opposite and it allows us to move beyond it, facilitating a cultural auto-revisions - both cognitive and ethical. The second part is devoted to constructive role played by anthropologists in the discussions taking place concerning multiculturalism. The role of the anthropologists would be to identify the specifics of society and consequently to move from a strictly theoretical point of view to an empiric one. Since political theory is not yet a guarantor of dialogue and multicultural dialogue does not always require a justification of its possibilities or an indication of a reliable way of conducting it. The dialogue rquires the ability to at least partially understand the speaker and the cultural practices - where the protagonist could be anthropology.

The paper is a marginal reflexive probe into this year’s New Drama Festival (10–15 May 2015 in Bratislava). This festival has a unique focus on contemporary texts of the so-called new drama (of Slovak and foreign provenience). The author deals with several selected productions, thinking about their themes and unusual expression, or innovative communicativeness. He states that this year’s 11th year of the New Drama Festival was mainly a platform of new communication of theatre in the universal sense and not only a traditional, recapitulating show.

At a time of powerful globalising and unifying processes in food preparation, there are notable tendencies towards a return to culinary traditions, in the context of the search for the cultural identities within various societies. People are seeking out specialities of regional cuisine not only as a culinary experience but also as a guarantee of high-quality, authentic foodstuffs. In this context the academic project “The Culinary Culture of the Regions of Slovakia” was accomplished during 2010 – 2012. Here the authors applied ethnological approaches in the examination of food, with the aim of presenting the regional forms of traditional cuisine in Slovakia in the greatest possible complexity and, as far as practicable, in all relevant connections. This cultural phenomenon was analysed in twenty two regions of Slovakia in the first half of the 20th century. Each region was presented in its historical, economic, social, ethnic, religious and ethnographic contexts. The opening section on regional cuisine was devoted to traditional modes of preparing and consuming foods, with a presentation of kitchen equipment, techniques of boiling and roasting, and modes of consuming foods inside and outside the home. Using this approach, the authors sought to give a more detailed presentation of the range and frequency of fundamental foodstuffs in the preparation of foods, and to confirm the assumption that there were marked differences in the higher Carpathian regions and lowland regions of Slovakia. A further part of the research analysis was devoted to occasional foods. The findings of this project focused on researching the forms of traditional food preparation models, which have shown the rich diversity of the culinary culture of Slovakia, not only bear witness to the richness of this cultural phenomenon but may also be used, for example, in gastronomy, the travel industry, regional tourism, and so on.

Ján Lajčiak (1875–1918) and Ihnat Kanchevsky (1896–1923, pseudonym Ihnat Abdziralovich) wrote works characterising elements of the Slovak and Belarusian cultural space around the same time. The environment in which Slovaks and Belarusians lived at that time was conducive to multilingualism and direct contact with other nationalities, contact with which left traces in the character of the national culture. Lajčiak, in his sociological and philosophical essay Slovakia and Culture (1921), takes a broad view of the cultural values of Slovaks and Slovakia and tries to anchor them in the value system of cultural thinking in general, so he creates a comparison with the cultural aspects of other communities, in which each nation has to take its own active position, but also emphasises the importance of culture for the individual, not only for the national community. Ihnat Kanchevsky‘s essay The Eternal Road (1921) is described as a genre of literary-philosophical lament, which embodies the national-identifying features of the Belarusians and at the same time is a text defining a different quality of national consciousness. The link between the texts, which motivates their analysis and subsequent comparison, is the emphasis of both authors on cultural-identifying elements such as the idea of the struggle for language as an integral part of culture, and, above all, the emphasis on art as an important and necessary factor of cultural life and cultural development.

Catalonia is an autonomous community in Spain, possessing a unique culture. This is meticulously preserved, not only by intellectuals, but also by its citizens, who hold their individual language, common history and traditions in the highest esteem. It is the perfect example of a nation without a state, truly dedicated to the peaceful struggle for survival of its exceptional individuality. The article explains how the historical relationship between Catalonia and Spain has awakened the Catalonian sense of individuality and the will to fight for its rights, leading to the creation of a separate political idea—catalanism. For the major part of the article the author presents the views on the Catalan issue as expressed by Antonio Gaudi—one of the most distinguished of Catalans.

Migration and population movement represent significant topics within historical ethnology and migration studies, as they allow for the examination not only of human mobility in space, but also of transformations in social relations, cultural practices, and collective identity. In this context, the study of Slovak communities abroad is of particular importance, as these communities have been able to preserve their linguistic and cultural distinctiveness despite geographical separation. The present study focuses on the resettlement of Slovaks from the northern regions of Bulgaria to Dolné Ezerovo in 1906, understanding this process as a specific form of collective mobility. Resettlement is not viewed merely as a one-time act of physical relocation, but as a complex phenomenon involving the reorganization of social ties, the transfer of material culture, and the continuity of collective memory. The aim of the study is to analyse the causes, course, and consequences of this resettlement within a broader historical and sociocultural context. Methodologically, the paper is based on a qualitative analysis of historical and ethnographic sources. Particular attention is paid to how adaptation strategies of the community were formed through mobility and how its cultural identity was simultaneously maintained. This issue has so far been most thoroughly addressed by Ján Michalko in his work Naši v Bulharsku. The present study builds on his research, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of migration as a multidimensional phenomenon and expanding knowledge of the historical experiences of Slovak communities in South-eastern Europe.

This paper explores the topic concerning cultural identity and self-identity expressed by Yeng Pway Ngon and Chia Hwee Peng, two leading figures of Chinese Singaporean poetry. By employing textual analysis, contextualisation and theoretical intervention, this paper is an attempt to examine how they come to terms with the questions of modernity, globalisation, and identity politics, and furthermore, to re-evaluate the cultural implications they may bring about while addressing these issues. In view of the critical role played by Yeng and Chia in the emergence of literary locality, the paper seeks to open a dialogue, a critical inquiry on the focuses of Chinese Singaporean literature.

For the last two decades the studies of the Balkan Peninsula have been largely dominated by the events of 1990s and so-called ethnic paradigm. The main objective of this article is to present completely different approach to the issues of cultural identity and its changes, by using various dimensions of local cuisine and coffee in particular. Materials for this article have been collected in the course of author's M.A. studies. They consist mainly of ethnographic interviews with Albanian emigrants in Poland as well as observations of social behaviors in Albania. Drinking Turkish coffee by Albanians is being perceived by the author as a specific ritual present in everyday's life, as well as on special occasions and extraordinary events. The author tries to uncover relations between this ritual and various factors such as the informants' age, sex, place of living (rural or urban area), events being accompanied by coffee (business meetings, funerals, smoking, etc.) and the role of coffee in the social life. The author discusses contemporary changes of Albanian cultural identity by presenting the influence of modernity on the tradition of coffee-drinking. She also considers the emigrational situation of Albanians in Poland.

YOUNG EUGEN IONESCU BETWEEN DADA EXISTENTIALISM AND THE BALKAN TRADITION OF THE ABSURD

This study focuses on the relationship between the early writing of Romanian author Eugen Ionescu and his avant-garde plays, from the perspective of the relationship with the Romanian tradition of the absurd. On the one hand, the study discusses the playwright ś, the poet ś and the essayist ´s particular affinity with the Dada spirit of Tristan Tzara and Urmuz. However, on the other hand, through his constant admiration for Ion Luca Caragiale, whom he considered the greatest unknown playwright in the world, Ionescu regains a repressed, but authentic and productive Balkan tradition, located somewhere between traditionalism and modernism, which was an object of obsession for the intellectuals in interwar Romania. By assuming and exporting it to the Parisian stage, the author ś ambiguous Romanian and French identity tries to break free from the complex of belonging to a peripheral culture, lacking access to universality. The fusion between Dadaist playful anarchism and the Balkan tradition of the absurd implies, in Ionescu ś case, the discovery and recovery of an alternative modernity, with a considerable subversive potential. Its elements can be found in his essay – volume Nu, whose playful and nonconformist existentialism, with a metaphysical scent and a deconstructive vitality, contains the embryo of all the playwright ś later qualities, which can be traced to his La cantatrice chauve (The Bald Soprano) and La lecon (The lesson).
