Sensory Environmental Relationships: Between Memories of the Past and Imaginings of the Future
Sensory environmental relationships – understood as dynamic, embodied, and emplaced affective sensory perceptions in (and of) the environment – invite us to remember the past, infuse our experiences of the present, and entice us to imagine the future. Ethnographically specific, socially and culturally nuanced approaches to environmental relationships require considerable conceptual and practical flexibility and inventiveness. Reflecting this commitment, 'Sensory Environmental Relationships' aims to offer a new anthropological understanding of how, in our individual and collective lives, senses, places, and temporalities intersect. While anthropologists have been studying the sensory envi...
Supernatural beings from Slovenian myth and folktales
Focusing on Slovenian mythology the book contains a review of Slovenian mythological, historical, and narrative material. Over 150 supernatural beings are presented, both lexically and according to the role that they have in Slovenian folklore. They are classified by type, characteristic, features, and by the message conveyed in their motifs and contents. The material has been analysed in the context of European and some non-European mythological concepts, and the author deals with theory and interpretations as well as the conclusions of domestic and foreign researchers. The book forms new starting points and a classification of supernatural beings within a frame of a number of sources, some of which have been published for the first time in this book.
Lončene posode pastirjev
Obravnavana tema sodi v krog raziskovanja ljudske materialne kulture starejših zgodovinskih obdobij. Z etnološko in arheološko osvetlitvijo najdb lončenih posod pastirjev (predvsem skled in latvic) skuša dopolniti in razširiti spoznanja o zgodovini poselitve in izrabe planin v Kamniških Alpah v planšarske namene in sestaviti podobo življenja in kulture pastirjev v planinah. Knjiga se začne z opisom geografskega, zgodovinskega in etnološkega značaja planin, nadaljuje pa s predstavitvijo najdišč in najdb keramike ter analizo časovne, tipološke in tehnološke podobe skled in latvic iz 15.–20. stoletja Krajše poglavje odgovarja na vprašanja, kje in kako so se pastirji oskrbovali z lončenino in kakšen pomen je imela v njihovem življenju in delu. Knjigi je dodan katalog najdb arheologinje Janje Železnikar, v katerem je obdelano več kot 80 lončenih predmetov.
Semiotics of Peasants in Transition
In Semiotics of Peasants in Transition Irene Portis-Winner examines the complexities of ethnic identity in a traditional Slovene village with unique ties to an American city. At once an investigation into a particular anthropological situation and a theoretical exploration of the semiotics of ethnic culture—in this case a culture permeated by transnational influences—Semiotics of Peasants in Transition describes the complex relationships that have existed between and among the villagers remaining in Slovenia and those who, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio. Describing a process of continuous and enduring interaction between these geographical...
Grazing Communities
Pastoralism is a diffused and ancient form of human subsistence and probably one of the most studied by anthropologists at the crossroads between continuities and transformations. The present critical discourse on sustainable and responsible development implies a change of practices, a huge socio-economic transformation, and the return of new shepherds and herders in different European regions. Transhumance and extensive breeding are revitalized as a potential resource for inner and rural areas of Europe against depopulation and as an efficient form of farming deeply influencing landscape and functioning as a perfect eco-system service. This book is an occasion to reconsider grazing communities’ frictions in the new global heritage scenario.
The Invisible Slavs
Èe izraz »prazgodovina« uporabimo za èas in prostor, ki ga pisni viri ne »vidijo«, potem imamo ozemlja, ki so »prazgodovinska« tudi v èasu, ki sicer splošno velja za »zgodovino«. V tem pomenu še vedno obstajajo v Evropi v èasu zgodnjega srednjega veka obširna ozemlja, kjer stanje pisnih virov lahko opišemo kot prazgodovinsko. Še posebej velja to za ozemlja, ki so jih naseljevali Slovani. Mednje spada tudi današnja Slovenija, kjer leži Bled. Ta »stopi v zgodovino« šele leta 1004. Ali je ob tem notranji pogled v življenje za pisne vire nevidnih ljudi sploh mogoè? Res se ne moremo preprosto prestaviti v minuli èas, da bi si ogledali, kako je bilo. Lahko pa se postavimo ...

Prikazani so najnovejši dokazi o prisotnosti človeka in gospodarski izrabi prostora v prazgodovini, antiki in srednjem veku.
