  • Obrazi izolacije / The Faces of Isolation
    Vol. 53 No. 2 (2024)

    Volume Editors: Dan Podjed and Lana Peternel

    The articles presented in this special issue investigate isolation as a complex phenomenon encompassing both physical and symbolic dimensions, exploring its impact on identities, social cohesion, and community life – particularly during periods of persistent and interconnected crises. The authors analyse the multifaceted nature of isolation, which shapes daily practices, emotional well-being, and community bonds, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced and the resilience exhibited by isolated communities.

  • Živali v žarišču: novi koncepti raziskav živali v humanistiki / Animals in Focus: New Concepts for Animal Research in Humanities
    Vol. 53 No. 1 (2024)

    Volume Editor: Marjetka Golež Kaučič

    This issue of Traditiones places animals in focus, to contemplate its point of view, and replace the anthropocentric stance with the zoocentric one, and deconstructs the social position of animals today in imagination and reality. Authors are thinking about animal position in new ontological paradigms and present the relationship between human and animal through representations in folklore, literature, film, language, and photography. The block opens with a conceptual overview on complex multidisciplinary research of animals based on new insights and political practices by Marjetka Golež Kaučič. Zoltan Nagy and Lizanne Henderson examine the image of the Siberian and Polar bear in culture and society. Anthropocentrism in language is presented by Saša Babič through the stereotyping of animals in short folklore forms. Kalina Zahova examine the position of animals reflected through the exploration of negative and positive representations of animals in children’s textbooks, in the literature curriculum developed by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Sciences. The issue concludes with Branislava Vičar's s study of the animal bodies in the Anthropocene by analyses of five photographs from the genre of animal photojournalism that capture, contest, and reconfigure the relations between animal bodies and specific places of exposure.

  • Multilokalnost v Evropi / Multi-local Living in Europe
    Vol. 52 No. 3 (2023)

    Volume Editors: Tatiana Bajuk Senčar and Cédric Duchêne

    This issue of Traditiones contains a thematic block dedicated to multi-local living in Europe, which explores a range of topics, social actors, approaches, and sites of research – reflecting in this manner the breadth of this growing, interdisciplinary field of study. The block opens with a conceptual overview and analysis of multi-local practices in Slovenia by Tatiana Bajuk Senčar, followed by two studies of multi-locality in Bulgaria. Tanya Matanova’s study is centered on multi-local residents of Sofia and their understandings of home. Yelis Ivanova and Vanya Ivanova examine the role of multi-local actors at two religious sites in northeast Bulgaria. Lena Greinke provides a quantitative study of student multi-locality in Hanover during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Barbara Jaczewska’s interdisciplinary analysis centers on multi-locality as a spatial practice in Poland’s Mazovia Province.  The issue concludes with Riika Patrikainen’s study on the performance of Greek death laments in the context of ethnographic interviews.

  • Folklora: spomini, politike, dediščinjenje / Folklore: Memories, Politics, Heritagisation
    Vol. 52 No. 2 (2023)

    Volume Editors: Rebeka Kunej and Marjeta Pisk

    The present discussions in this thematic issue of Traditiones (Vol. 52 No. 2) address folklore, especially folk music and dance, memories, politics and heritagisation in the post-socialist milieus of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, and Slovenia. Fourteen authors in eight articles thus reveal the similarities arising from related cultural-political systems, while the individual studies at the same time point out the specifics which derive from the implementation in the local environment, time period, and the modality of the folklore activity.

    Participatory singing, dancing, and musicking within and beyond folklore ensembles, organised festivals, singing and folklore competitions, and open-air dance events reflect the multifaceted nature of folklore activity, which concurrently combines the institutional organisation and reminiscence of the past representational role, and the abundantly present embodiment and emotions that make this activity so attractive to so many. Both in socialism and post-socialism, as well as in today’s moment.

  • Skrb za krajine / Care for Landscapes
    Vol. 52 No. 1 (2023)

    Volume Editor: Miha Kozorog

    After 20 years, Traditiones has new editors. This is the first issue of the new editorial team and the first issue of a thoroughly redesigned journal. It is devoted to the care for landscapes, a topic that seems to resonate in contemporary Slovenian ethnology and socio-cultural anthropology. Care because of personal, family, institutional, economic, political, etc. reasons, as well as care for the future of care when landscapes appear to people as abandoned, are just some of the aspects of care addressed by Ana Svetel in Iceland, Blaž Bajič in the Solčava region, and Sandi Abram among the urban squatters in Ljubljana. In the first part of the issue, which is not thematic, there are discussions on traditions: by Tatiana Bužeková on the example of contemporary shamanism in Slovakia, by László Kürti on the example of Christmas among Hungarian Roma children, and by Eliseu Carbonell on the example of Catalan pedagogical movements at the beginning of the 20th century.

  • Urbane prihodnosti / Urban Futures
    Vol. 51 No. 3 (2022)

    Volume Editors: Saša Poljak Istenič and Jaro Veselinovič

    In the thematic section on urban futures, the authors look at the issues that have emerged as central to the future of selected Slovenian cities and the efforts of their inhabitants, who agree with them and are actively working towards their realisation, who oppose them or ignore them – or who are being ignored by the cities. An article by Valentina Gulin Zrnić and Saša Poljak Istenič introduces the future as an object of cultural anthropological research and an analytical concept on which the following discussions are based. Tatiana Bajuk Senčar and Saša Poljak Istenič discuss the bees in Ljubljana, which have become a symbol of a clean environment and therefore an argument for changing approaches to city management. Jaro Veselinovič and Miha Kozorog analyse the prevailing scenarios on how Nova Gorica and neighbouring Gorica/Gorizia can build a better future as European Capital(s) of Culture. Nina Vodopivec uses the example of Murska Sobota to raise awareness of how industrial workers as a community are denied an agency in creating the future. Katja Hrobat Virloget looks at how unreconciled past influences imagining the future in Istrian cities. The thematic section is complemented by articles on responsibility in public space by Nevena Škrbić Alempijević and Tomislav Oroz and on the challenges of integrating highly skilled migrants into the professional sport by Marijeta Rajković Iveta.

  • Večjezičnost v folklori / Multilingualism in Folklore
    Vol. 51 No. 2 (2022)

    Volume Editors: Marija Klobčar and Urša Šivic

    This issue of Traditiones focuses on revealing and interpreting cross-linguistic song connections in their contextual settings. The authors, Hana Urbancová, Ameneh Youssefzadeh, Marjeta Pisk, Mojca Ravnik, Marija Klobčar, Mojca Kovačič, and Urša Šivic, examine song and music practices in various multilingual communities, some with a focus on border areas. Through historical analysis and contemporary reflections, they reveal characteristics that highlight not only the diversity of the examined social contexts but also the different expressing possibilities of bilingual songs. These questions transcend local and temporal contexts, opening new horizons for folklore studies.

  • Razprave / Articles
    Vol. 51 No. 1 (2022)

    Volume Editors: Jurij Fikfak and Ingrid Slavec Gradišnik

    In the first volume of Traditiones 2022, there are five articles. In the first article, Slavec Gradišnik reviews the last decade of the Institute for Slovenian Ethnography, its orientations, and main emphases. A Naterer, L Vrhovnik, and P Škerget analyze in detail the question of thematic fields in Slovenian anthropology of the 21st century. R Mrvič thematizes different perceptions and conceptions of heritage, paying particular attention to the linguistic heritage. B Jezernik, in the discussion, shows the often-overlooked role that priests played in the formation of ethnic and national identity in the local environment. Finally, M Rakonjac, L Pajović Dujović, and S Šubarić discuss traditional and modern wedding rituals in Montenegro.

  • Vernakularna religija in sodobne duhovnosti / Vernacular Religion and Contemporary Spiritualities
    Vol. 50 No. 3 (2021)

    Volume Editors: Daniel Wojcik, István Povedák, and Jurij Fikfak

    It is now more than a quarter century since Leonard Primiano’s seminal article “Vernacular Religion and the Search for Method in Religious Folklife” launched the concept of Vernacular Religion to denote the study of “religion as it is lived: as human beings encounter, understand, interpret, and practice it.” This issue of Traditiones brings insights into how people deal with enormous issues such as our place in the universe, our relationship with-other-than human beings, death, apocalypse and afterlives using an ‘toolkit’ of institutional and vernacular knowledge.

  • Misliti, govoriti in peti folkloro / Thinking, Speaking, and Singing Folklore
    Vol. 50 No. 2 (2021)

    Volume Editor: Marjetka Golež Kaučič

    This issue of Traditiones is dedicated to a contemplation of language in folklore; the ways we think folklore or perceive it from the aspect of linguistic properties, which differ between one language code and another. The authors (Gregor Strle, Valentina Bold, Marjetka Golež Kaučič, Tjaša Jakop, Thomas McKean, Anja Moric, Delia Dattilo in Cinzia Citraro) deal with the intertwining of languages and the way they are affected by various factors – external and internal. Contributions emerge from the fundamental questions whether folklore and dialect are intrinsically connected, and what is the meaning of the language of folklore, or even multi-lingual systems in folklore texts and contexts.

  • Dediščine: perspektive in prakse / Heritages: Perspectives and Practices
    Vol. 50 No. 1 (2021)

    Volume Editors: Jurij Fikfak and Ingrid Slavec Gradišnik

    First issue of Traditiones provided room for reflections on where we stand with heritage today. Three aspects or approaches to thematizing heritage were decisive: an overview of research to date (Alessandro Testa), a view forward (Laurent Sebastien Fournier, Regina Bendix), and concrete heritage practices in various European contexts, especially in central Europe (Roland W Peball and Klaus Schönberger, Špela Ledinek Lozej and Marjeta Pisk, Božidar Jezernik, Petko Hristov, Katarina Koštialová and Ivan Murin, Barbara Ivančič Kutin and Monika Kropej Telban).

  • INTERDISCIPLINARNI SPLET HUMANISTIČNIH RAZISKAV / AN INTERDISCIPLINARY MISCELLANEA OF HUMANIST RESEARCH
    Vol. 47 No. 2 (2018)

    Uredila / Edited by Marjetka Golež Kaučič

    Vprašanja mitologije in mitofobije, individualnega glasbenega izvajanja in samoizraznosti ruskega glasbenika in harmonikarja, čustveno in barvno zaznavanje ljudske glasbe in drugih glasbenih zvrsti, nova izražanja strahu in travmatičnih doživetij, produkcija balad na letakih v Londonu v 18. stoletju, pes v filmu, nacionalni simboli in koncept avtohtone vrste se razvrščajo v preplet humanističnih raziskav kot tudi kognitivnih in tehnoloških.

    Issues of mythology and mythophobia, the individual musical performance and musical self-expression of a Russian musician and accordion player, emotional and color perception of folk music and other genres, new expressions of fear and traumatic experiences, the production of broadside ballads in London in the eighteenth century, the dog in film, national symbols, and the concept of native species all enter into an interlacing of humanistic, cognitive, and technical research.

  • CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE GREAT WAR / KULTURNA DEDIŠČINA PRVE SVETOVNE VOJNE
    Vol. 47 No. 1 (2018)

    Edited by / Uredila Božidar Jezernik & Jurij Fikfak

    The First World War, also known as the Great War, which lasted from 1914 to 1918, left a significant mark on the twentieth century. It radically changed the demographic composition of Europe (over sixteen million people were killed), resulted in the dissolution of four empires (Austria-Hungary, Russia, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire), had a crucial impact on European values, inspired the search for the new man during the interwar period, and ultimately significantly influenced the shaping, perception, and reception of cultural heritage.

    Prva svetovna vojna ali Velika vojna od 1914 do 1918 je bistveno zaznamovala dvajseto stoletje. Usodno je vplivala na demografsko podobo Evrope, saj je umrlo nad 16 milijonov ljudi, na konec štirih imperijev (Avstro-Ogrske, Rusije, Nemčije in Osmanskega cesarstva), usodno je vplivala na njene vrednote in na iskanje po novem človeku med obema vojnama, nenazadnje na oblikovanje, percepcijo in recepcijo kulturne dediščine.
