Knjiga ponuja 551 folklornih pripovedi iz Selške doline: iz dolinskih krajev ob Selški Sori ter hribovskih vasi in zaselkov ob njenih pritokih. Pripovedi so razvrščene v enajst poglavij: pravljice, bajčne, vražljive, strašljive, razlagalne, legendne, zgodovinske, etnološke, socialne, anekdote ter šaljive povedke. Večinoma sledijo živemu govoru in so zapisane v narečju, v knjižnem jeziku pa le tiste, pri katerih zaradi različnih razlogov narečni zapis ni bil mogoč. Povedke na svoj način prinašajo pestrost življenja in dela, ki jo ponuja Selška dolina. Srečamo se z bajčnimi bitji in kraji, ki burijo domišljijo, s strahovi in ljudskimi razlagami neznanega, z verovanjem te...
Terrestrial isopods (woodlice) are the only group of crustaceans fully adapted to life on land and with about 3,700 species known at present represent the largest suborder of Isopoda. They occur in almost any kind of terrestrial habitat, from littoral to high mountains, from forests to deserts, with some species adapted to live in subterranean environments and others secondarily having returned to water. Woodlice are particularly important from a biogeographical and an ecological point of view, since they have limited dispersal ability, are often endemic to small geographic areas, and are extremely diverse ecologically.ÿThey also represent en excellent model group of animals to study the ph...

Frazeologija raziskuje možnosti in uresničevanje večbesedne izrazne čustvenosti v jeziku, prek katere se med drugim razkrivajo tudi prvine narodnega značaja, ki se iz generacije v generacijo skladiščijo v našem mentalnem spominu. Frazeologija kot veda je na Slovenskem zaživela v 80. letih in od takrat dalje zaradi svoje izjemnosti in večplastnosti privablja mnoge raziskovalce. V tej prvi večavtorski monografiji o frazeologiji predstavljamo 22 sodobnih pogledov na frazeologijo pri nas in v evropskem prostoru. Tematsko smo jo uredili v štiri sklope. V njih podajamo pregled razvoja slovenske frazeologije in njenih prvih slovarskih poskusov, razkrivamo skrivnosti frazeološkega pomena, problematiziramo frazeološko zgradbo v najširšem smislu in iščemo poti do frazeologije drugih jezikov in narodov. Delo je namenjeno jezikoslovcem, ki intenzivno preučujejo frazeologijo, in tudi tistim, ki bi se s frazeološkimi vprašanji želeli ukvarjati več, študentom, ki hrepenijo po pregledno urejeni sodobni frazeološki literaturi, in ne nazadnje vsem ljubiteljem anomalnih jezikovnih enot.
The book provides a comprehensive exploration of witchcraft beliefs and practices in the rural region of Eastern Slovenia. Based on field research conducted at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it examines witchcraft in the region from folkloristic, anthropological, as well as historical, perspectives. Witchcraft is presented as part of social reality, strongly related to misfortune and involved in social relationships. The reality of the ascribed bewitching deeds, psychological mechanisms that may help bewitchment to work, circumstances in which bewitchment narratives can be mobilised, reasons for a person to acquire a reputation of the witch in the entire community, and the role that unwitchers fulfilled in the community, are but a few of the many topics discussed. In addition, the intertwinement of social witchcraft with narratives of supernatural experiences, closely associated with supernatural beings of European folklore, forming part of the overall witchcraft discourse in the area, is explored.

The social lives of the peoples of the Balkans have long stimulated the imaginations of their northern European neighbors. These peoples and places have anthropological traditions of their own, shaped initially by nationalist movements and, later, by socialism and other political constraints. From an anthropological perspective, this book explores the region between Greece and Slovenia, when political pressures were strongest in the era of the Cold War. Yet, the environments were by no means uniformly repressive. The study provides indispensable insights for new generations pursuing innovative research agendas in this region in the new century. It raises deeper issues about the boundaries and substance of the anthropological endeavor. (Series: Halle Studies in the Anthropology of Eurasia - Vol. 29)
