Članek poskuša razumeti referenčno polje poljudno pisane knjige Gabriela Majcna Zgodovina domačih živali in pitomih rastlin (1927), ki je prvo tovrstno delo na področju slovenskega zgodovinopisja in ...etnologije. Najprej predstavi raziskovalne in družbene aktivnosti avtorja, potem naniza in ovrednoti vsebinske sklope njegove knjige, nato pa s primerjavo pomembnejših naravoslovnih oz. zooloških del iz 19. stoletja razkriva avtorske in teoretske vplive na Majcnovo pisanje.
The economic crisis in 2008 stimulated two distinct types of economies in the post-industrial city of Maribor: start-ups and cooperatives. They were both introduced and promoted as alternatives to ...the industrial or service economy. In the article, I compare them to understand the features that influenced their success, continuity, and their mark on young people and society in general. The ethnographic work was devoted to the relationship between the company/cooperative employee and his/her family, kinship and age, socialisation, the role and meaning of local social and natural environments, perceptions of work, gender relations, missions and company products, legal conditions, the content of initial business training, the types and influences of supportive institutions, the acquisition of basic funds, leisure ideas and practices, the importance of digital technologies and databases, and the share of both business spheres in the formation of urban subcultures. The article also shows the importance of focal place, education and titles, recruitment and training (incubators), business skills, funds, language, growth, and the global movement of capital for the advancement of young entrepreneurs on both sides of the conceptual comparison. The author suggests that academic economics is the most important pillar of neoliberal ideology in Maribor and in shaping national legislation, policies, and funds. It is additionally important with its support to IT start-ups at the Venture Factory (University of Maribor). The crisis encouraged the state to support cooperatives from 2014 to 2018 with sociologists, philosophers, and anthropologists in the background. Later, when crisis was over, the state and municipality withdrew, and the community of cooperatives almost disappeared.
This paper combines environmental, communitarian and political-economic forces to explain cultural heritage and tourism on Zlarin Island (Croatia, Dalmatia) and in the Trenta Valley (Slovenia, Alps). ...The two selected places belong to different geo-cultural areas and academic traditions, but also share many common features including late colonisation, intensive agriculture and overpopulation, population decline in the twentieth century, change in ownership structure, early origins of tourism and use of their insularity as an advantage in their tourism strategies. A comparative analysis offers a chance to rethink the ethnological approach to communities and cultures as insulated entities.
K nastanku tematske številke sta prispevali dve okoliščini. Prva je povečano antropološko zanimanje za življenjski prostor in druge vrste, ki bivajo v njem. Živali postajajo priljubljen medij in ...merilo človeških odnosov z naravnimi in družbenimi okolji. V zadnjih dveh desetletjih je izšla cela vrsta revij in zbornikov, posvečena vprašanjem pravic živali, njihovega umetniškega upodabljanja, reje in prehrane, organizacije vsakdanjega življenja, vzgoje ipd. Ontološki obrat je prinesel novo specializacijo – t. i. večvrstno etnografijo, ki preizprašuje osrednje mesto ljudi in predstavlja preučevanje neudomačenih (nekoristnih) ali neopaznih živalskih in rastlinskih vrst ter procesov. Izbrani naslov tematske številke revije Svetovi izpostavlja spremembe znanstvene paradigme in jih prenaša v slovensko in evropsko etnologijo ter socialno/kulturno antropologijo. Druga spodbuda za pričujočo tematsko številko je bila priložnostna in domača. V projektu Evropske noči raziskovalcev – Humanistika, to si ti!, ki ga na Univerzi v Ljubljani vodi Filozofska fakulteta, je leta 2022 osrednji tematski fokus povzemal slogan Človek, žival.
Prva številka revije Svetovi prinaša prispevke slovenskih folkloristov in folkloristk, ki so decembra 2021 sodelovali na drugi bienalni slovenski folkloristični konferenci z naslovom Aktualne ...raziskave v slovenski folkloristiki, ki jo je na Oddelku za etnologijo in kulturno antropologijo organizirala Mirjam Mencej. Po konferenci so bili nekateri raziskovalci in raziskovalke, ki se ukvarjajo s slovstveno folkloro, ljudsko glasbo in plesi ali pa pomembno prispevajo k njihovemu ohranjanju in širjenju ter zavedanju njihovega pomena, povabljeni, da za potrebe revije napišejo izvirna znanstvena oziroma strokovna dela. Številka prinaša devet prispevkov, ki si zastavljajo zelo različna raziskovalna vprašanja ter obravnavajo različne vrste in žanre folklore – od pripovedne in pesemske folklore, do kratkih folklornih obrazcev in ljudskih plesov, od pravljic, povedk, pesmi, do pregovorov in frazemov.
