Članek prevprašuje presečišča folkloristike ter kritičnih dediščinskih študij, ki jih lahko folkloristke in folkloristi tvorno sooblikujejo.

Divided as it is, philology is constantly improving through the emergence of new interdisciplinary sciences. One among them is ethnolinguistics. It has taken particularly firm roots in Slavic ...studies, especially with the Russian and Polish schools. While the diachronous researches of Nikita I. Tolstoy in Svetlana Tolstaya reach as far back as Slavic mythology, the Polish school, headed by Jerzy Bartmińsky, flirts with cognitive linguistics and is more interested, through its synchronous approach, in contemporary themes. The present monograph aims to evaluate the work carried out in this field to date and to raise awareness of the new interdisciplinary direction, which may link up the ethnologies and linguistics of different directions.
Terraced landscapes with agricultural terraces are cultural landscapes with a special value. This volume presents them in pictures and words in all their diversity and attractiveness. After ...discussing the global and European dimensions of terraced landscapes and their agricultural terraces, the volume focuses on Slovenian terraced landscapes~they are discussed separately by landscape types, individual regions, and sample cases in the territory of selected settlements (pilot areas). The conclusion also draws attention to the exceptional value and appeal of non-agricultural terraced landscapes that have been shaped by nature and man.
An archaeoastronomical study recently accomplished in the Maya area revealed that the architecture on the northeast coast of the Yucatán peninsula is characterized by some peculiar orientation ...trends, which we have not been able to explain in a satisfactory manner. In order to acquire additional information, in November 2015 we measured the orientations of 34 structures at 21 archaeological sites. The book presents the results of this work, as well as some analyses based on all the available data from the northeast coast. Their distribution shows that the percentage of orientations related to the Sun is notably lower than in other parts of the Maya Lowlands.
Raziskava se je osredotočila na povezavo med neformalnim izobraževanjem in ohranjanjem kulturne dediščine v lokalnem okolju, za katerega so značilne večkulturnost in migracije. V okviru študije ...primera so bile uporabljene kvalitativne metode raziskovalnega dela, s katerimi je bilo analizirano izobraževanje v 28 študijskih krožkih v društvu Anbot za obdobje 2003–2011.Ugotovitve kažejo, da je izobraževanje učinkovito pri ohranjanju kulturne dediščine, ker je nastala tesna povezanost med prostovoljnim delom in strokovnim znanjem. Učinkovito je tudi pri konstruiranju lokalne identitete, saj sta se z delovanjem društva razvila pomensko okolje in skupnost, s katero se ljudje identificirajo.
This monograph presents the results of a study of orientations in prehispanic architecture of western and northern Mesoamerica. Analyzing the alignment data collected with field measurements for a ...number of civic and ceremonial buildings at 21 archaeological sites, we have been able to conclude that they were largely oriented on astronomical grounds. Since the study area is extensive and culturally diverse, while the data sample is relatively small, the orientations that have been analyzed exhibit considerable variability.
