Title: KARL POPPER A MUZEOLOGIE: MEZI OBJEKTEM A MUZEÁLIÍ (Karl Popper and Museology :
Between object and musealia)
Abstract: The paper summarizes both the division of the world and the approach towards things of different philosophers (Plato,
Hegel, Moore, Russel, Whitehead, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Reichenbach, Patočka). Special attention is given to the system of three
worlds (material, psychic, and real – ideal, immaterial) of Karl Popper. Those approaches are applied to the understanding of a
museum collection in both theoretical and practical sense.

Title: THE IDEA OF MUSEUM IN CONTEMPORARY CURATORIAL PROJECTS
Abstract: The assessment of the status of contemporary art is theoretically justified in the context of institutional theory, developed
in the works of George Dickie and Arthur C. Danto. Museums are pillars of the institutional theory, as they mainly provide art with an
undisputed status. The phenomenon of the museum boom of the present day, as the phenomenon of the emergence of the concept
of “imaginary museums” in the second half of the 20th century, is associated with longing for “true” art, which ultimately leads to
museums, or to the idea of museum. If in a classical museum a viewer expected to see “authentic”, as in “not fake”, works of the old
masters, in a museum of contemporary art they expect to see at least “true” art, i.e. works “with the status of art.” Museums give art
the quality of “authenticity”, hence the interest in museums and museum projects nowadays, despite the abundance of publicized
images of museum artefacts in the media. Instead of these “simulacrums”, museums offer “real” artworks, and the idea of museum
attracts a considerable attention, reflected in numerous curatorial projects dedicated to the image and the idea of museum. Among
such projects were, for example, the exhibition Voices of Andre Malraux’s Imaginary Museum at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in
Moscow and the exhibition The Keeper at the New Museum in New York.

Title: NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND MUSEUMS OF MODERN ART IN POLAND – COMPETITION FOR
DOMINATION IN THE FIELD OF MUSEUMS
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyse the transformations in the field of museums in Poland, and to study more closely
the process of constructing a museum model that meets contemporary challenges. Two types of museums are analysed here,
namely national museums and museums of modern art, to demonstrate how their respective activities affect the structure of the field
in question, bringing about change. It is the assumption of this study, following Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of conflict perspective,
that museums situated in the field of orthodoxy and the ones in the field of heterodoxy compete within the artistic field for a symbolic
domination over other participants. At the core interest of this study, there is a question to what extent chosen Polish museums and
staff apply the principles of the New Museology in their daily practice.

Title: SACRED PAGAN TEMPLES IN THE CAUCASUS REGION: CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES
Abstract: The article deals with Christian-pagan sacred places and Caucasus traditions in the 19th century. The authors pay
attention to the structure of the pagan temples and their characteristic regional features, and they study the traditions and the role of
the local clergy in the life of society.
Materials of personal origin (memoirs and diary entries) of emissaries, scouts and travellers in the 19th century were used as sources
in the research. These materials allow us to get an idea about the structure of the temples and ceremonies that were held around
them. In addition, materials of archaeological research, as well as modern scientific publications, were used for this study.
In solving research problems, both general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, concretization, generalization) as well as
traditional methods of historical analysis were applied. The work uses the historical-situational method, which involves the study of
historical facts in the context of the studied era in conjunction with “neighbouring” events and facts. The application of this method
allowed the authors to understand the role of the pagan temples and their priests in preparation of the highlanders to assault their
neighbours.
In conclusion, the authors note that pagan temples were built in many parts of the Caucasus region: in Circassia, Abkhazia, Georgia,
and Ossetia. However, until the end of the 19th century, they remained only in the most remote and impassable parts of the
mountainous regions. The reasons for this were the enormous social upheaval in the Caucasus, the civil war in Circassia and the
religious persecution of the old Christian-pagan clergy.

Title: WITCHCRAFT, SORCERY AND HAND WRINGING IN THE LIFE OF SIBERIAN PEASANTS: ON
THE MATERIALS OF HISTORICAL SOURCES OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
Abstract: In the nineteenth century, the Orthodox Church, authorities, investigative bodies and courts officially recognized the
possibility of such phenomena as witchcraft, witcheries, hand wringing, sorcery and shamanism. This is confirmed by numerous
reports, eyewitness accounts, messages, investigations and trials materials.
Penalties for such “acts”, appointed by the courts, were often rather mild (church repentance, offertory, lashes, etc.). More severe
measures were prescribed much more rarely (expulsion from a settlement, prison, etc.). The reason for this state of affairs was the
complexity of proving that any manifestations of the “sufferer” were caused precisely by witchcraft or witcheries.
It is shown that there were some peculiarities in the attitude towards the witchcraft among the population of the Siberian region. It is
established that snakes and frogs, which were very common in the Siberian region, became the main attribute and material used in
witchcraft, sorcery and witcheries. Herbs characteristic of the flora of the Siberian region were also used in the rituals.
It is confirmed that witchcraft in the Siberian region was less common than in other regions of the country. This “mystery” was most
often practiced by women and much less often by men.

Title: FATE OF THE ANDRÁSSY ARCHIVE FROM BETLIAR AND KRÁSNA HÔRKA IN THE 1940s AND
1950s
Abstract: This paper examines the fate of the family and economic archives of the Andrássy family after the confiscation of the
property complex in Betliar and Krásna Hôrka after the World War II was over. Complicated property rights and changes in ownership
resulted in the fact that the archives were put into keeping of the Agricultural Archives (Pôdohospodársky archív) in Bratislava. Local
government and the administration of the State Cultural Estate in Betliar, who managed the remains of Betliar and Krásna Hôrka
Castle as museums, sought to keep this family archive in its original place. However, this resulted in a forced transport of parts of this
archive into the branch of the Agricultural Archives in Levoča.

Title: KULTÚRNE DEDIČSTVO A JEHO POTENCIÁL V KONTEXTE UDRŽATEĽNÉHO ROZVOJA :
MODROTLAČ AKO KULTÚRNOIDENTIFIKAČNÝ PRVOK NA REPREZENTATÍVNOM ZOZNAME
NEHMOTNÉHO KULTÚRNEHO DEDIČSTVA (Cultural heritage and its potential in the context of
sustainable development : blueprint as a cultural identification element on the Representative List of
Intangible Cultural Heritage)
Abstract: The study follows the inter-ethnic, economic and socio-cultural links of blueprint. As a specific product of traditional
craftsmanship, it is closely related to the history and culture of our ethnicity. This element of cultural heritage captures not only its
material, but also social contexts. It accentuates the inter-ethnic relations of the blueprint with an emphasis on the issues of cultural
identity. This is documented by the idea of a common nomination of the technology of blueprint making into the UNESCO
Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Germany). The condition was
that it had to be first entered on the national lists of cultural heritage. The study is based on a long-term ethnological field research in
the Spiš region. Its aim is to monitor the condition and possibilities of revitalizing the blueprint as one of the basic presumptions of
sustainability within our cultural heritage.

Title: ZACHOVÁVANIE A PREZENTÁCIA NEHMOTNÉHO KULTÚRNEHO DEDIČSTVA MESTA : NA
PRÍKLADE BANSKEJ BYSTRICE (Preservation and presentation of intangible cultural heritage of a town :
based on the example of Banská Bystrica)
Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of cultural heritage in an urban environment. The research is located in the central
Slovakia mining town of Banská Bystrica and its surroundings, with the focus on chosen historical events. Popular science literature
often gives the town of Banská Bystrica titles with different attributes according to the town´s priorities in the historical context. “The
mining town” is the oldest attribute and “the uprising town” (Banská Bystrica was the centre of Slovak National Uprising in 1944) or
“administrative town” are among newer. The newest attributes usually concentrate on the town´s engagement in various projects, for
example the town of sport, healthy town, green town, etc. There is also a long-time tradition of organizing annual fairs. The biggest
and most famous fair is the Radvanský fair which celebrated its 360th anniversary in 2017. We consider the mining tradition, the
uprising tradition and the elements listed on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovakia as the core of the
town´s intangible cultural heritage.

Title: KULTÚRNE DEDIČSTVO VOJVODINSKÝCH SLOVÁKOV V KONTEXTE SLOVENSKEJ KULTÚRY
(Cultural Legacy of the Slovaks from Vojvodina in the Context of Slovak Culture)
Abstract: Since its establishment at the end of the 18th century, the culture of the Slovaks from Vojvodina has developed in two
ways: the first one reflects their effort to constantly follow the phenomena present in the cultural setting of Slovakia and to have an
active dialogue with them. The second one arises from the specific environment of Vojvodina, where these Slovaks landed up. The
article is focused on the analysis of this cultural situation, trying to answer the questions to what extent the information about culture
of Slovaks from Vojvodina occurs in the cultural context in Slovakia, and to what extent the share of particular cultural phenomena is
reflected while having in mind the contribution of Vojvodina´s specifics.

Title: PREZENTÁCIA MATERIÁLNEJ A DUCHOVNEJ KULTÚRY KELTOV V PROJEKTE ŠTUDENTOV
KATEDRY MUZEOLÓGIE NA FF UKF V NITRE (Presentation of the Material and Spiritual Culture of the
Celts - Student Project at the Department of Museology, FA CPU in Nitra)
Abstract: The 21st century has brought several changes to the culture, including the field of museology and monument care.
These changes require evolving the methods of cultural heritage presentation. Students at our department therefore decided to
upgrade their current presentational activities by creating a panel exhibition and developing it as an educational project for primary
schools. They chose the topic of Celtic material and spiritual culture, since a lot of evidence of their civilization was found in Slovakia.
Besides the exhibition, the project includes a multimedia presentation for teachers, activity sheets for pupils, and a 3D visualisation of
a Celtic settlement.

community)
Abstract: A project focused on building a net of special forestry sites is one of the important and long-continuing activities of the
LESY Slovenskej republiky, state enterprise. Inspired by UNESCO and its Lists of World Heritage Sites, the state enterprise started to
declare and mark localities of the great forestry value that are connected with the history of forest, the history of the forest
management, or with the work of foresters as special forestry sites. This project, under the guarantee and methodics of the Museum
of Forestry and Wood Technology in Zvolen, draws attention to the positive contribution of foresters, responsible forest management,
nature protection and to the development of culture in Slovakia. The range, quality and diversity of the project´s presentation activities
have an important impact on the public and the emphasis of forester´s contribution to the cultural heritage of the country.
