Both books make the whole picture of Slovenes as included in the monumental book series “Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild” which was projected by the archeduke Rudolf and was published between 1884–1902. Translated are the chapters which discuss life, culture and economy of Slovenes living in Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Prevailing are the ethnographical descriptions of the regions, the presentation of inhabitants and their position in the context of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and other countries of that time.

The kitchen is the core~it is the heart of the home. A major part of our daily routine takes place in the kitchen. In addition to being a place for food preparation, the kitchen also defines our ...lifestyle and social status. In the 20th century, the kitchen, its practices and representations were changing. The form, use and purpose of the kitchen were connected to general and specific (micro-)regional economic, social, demographic, cultural and ideological circumstances, and after all also socio-economic conditions of the household. This book ('From the main place to dwell to a working cell: Development of the kitchen in the Vipava Valley') presents the formal development of the kitchen in the Vipava Valley in the 20th century regarding the changes in kitchen practices and the image of the kitchen.
The book ('Tradition in the Contemporary World. Janče: the Green Threshold of Ljubljana') deals with dimensions of tradition in modernity, as reflected in the half-urbanized environment on the ...northeastern outskirts of Ljubljana - at Janče with its surroundings. The author analyzes the concept of tradition, which is one of the core in ethnology and folklore studies, and presents its concretizations in the ethnographic field, especially its role in local festivals. She mainly focuses on peasant work and its ritual dimensions as well as on other types of heritage/tradition of rural environment. Heritage is not only positively valued by local inhabitants, but also represented in the idealistic form, thus creating rural idyll, attractive for tourists. Having a special value, it has become the means of invoking and preserving identifications with certain communities and the area itself, and is at the same time also used as an argument in general and sustainable development of the area.
