Avtorica z vidika samorefleksije premišlja o problemu molka v etnografskem raziskovanju in v produkciji etnološkega znanja. Analizira različne vrste molka, na katere je postala pozorna pri svojih terenskih raziskavah folklore, verovanj in spominov na 2. svetovno vojno in čas po njej. Molk je lahko posledica tega, da sogovorniki namenoma obdržijo skrivnost, še posebej o verovanjskih praksah, ali pa travm in neskladnih spominov.
***
From a self-reflexive point of view the author questions the problem of silence in the ethnographic research and production of the ethnological knowledge. She analyses different types of silence which she has encountered during field research of folklore and beliefs and memories on the WW II and afterwards. The silence extends from intentionally keeping a secret, especially in the field of belief practices, to silence as consequences of traumas and incompatible memories.
