240114 SE Ethnology of (post)socialist Slovenia (P4) (2015S)

1. Ethnological and anthropological research of seasonal holidays in Slovenia in the second half of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century (an overview of a ritual research in Slovenia, concentrated mostly on the last 70 years related to the changeable social contexts of a discipline)

2. Holidays and the working competition in the first two decades of a socialist Yugoslavia: a strategic relationship (an overview of a socialist festive calendar and its relation to the socialist conceptualisation of work and working competition; holidays as a social strategy)

3. Community Building through Festivities: A Case of Dirty Togetherness? (holidays and festivities in general as a social strategy and at the same time as occasions for tactical behaviour; their relation to the idea of dirty togetherness which became one of the stereotypical characterisations of socialist societies in general)

4. Contemporary perceptions of an "ethnographic adequacy": how perceptions about traditionality and authenticity of the three events (Kravji bal/Cow’s Ball, Vasovanje/Village Serenade and Kmecka ohcet/Rural Wedding in Bohinju) have changed in the last seven decades ("folklore" or "ethnographic" events during socialism and nowdays)
