The work describes the evolution of cultural and social conditions in the Slovak territory, respectively, in Upper Hungary, in the possible establishment of a public institution collecting exclusively artistic material. The example of the development of art associations and local museums offers a view of this situation through particular historical periods, more precisely from the middle of the nineteenth century to the gallery's founding in 1948. However, the purpose of the work is not only to outline the social discourse on the possibility of establishing a regional gallery or a public art museum. In addition to concrete examples and evidence of this debate, the work also offers insight into the political orientation of individual institutions that could have been potential players during this development. The work points to a complicated tangle of individual opinions, values and beliefs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article outlines the profile of editorial work of Jozef Felix (1913 - 1977) and aims at grasping his conceptual contribution to research in Slovak textual studies and his influence on editorial practice in the 1950s when Slovak culture paid great attention to the publishing of literary heritage. The author takes into consideration the fact that J. Felix formed his vision of textual studies' strategies and aims of the discipline and editorial practice under the conditions and restrictions of the period (and in confrontation with these). The article identifies basic features of Felix's editorial approach that - since he was an editor of the section for Slovak and Czech literature at the Slovak Publishing House of Belles-Lettres - shaped the development of editorial practice in Slovakia. Drawing on Felix's key essays on the topic, especially on his O vydávaní klasikov ([Publishing the classics], 1953), Poznámky k vydávaniu Spisov Jána Kalinèiaka ([Notes on publishing Ján Kalinèiak's oeuvre], 1954), and the interview Preklada? diela našich klasikov do dnešnej slovenèiny? ([Should we translate the work of our classics into contemporary Slovak?] 1957), the article scrutinises his initiatory activities regarding the conceptual consolidation of textological principles, the contradictory issues pertaining to these, and the positive and negative impact these had on subsequent editorial projects. In this way, the paper contributes towards the knowledge of the history of Slovak textual studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study presents fundamental theoretical and methodological information on individual sacral tourism as a suitable type of tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual (virtual) tourism on the example of the Koscelisko locality in Radoľa municipality (northwestern part of Slovakia) in the area of the extinct medieval sacral landscape, thanks to modern technologies, represents a relatively modern segment of the alternative - modern types of tourism. In the first step, a bibliometric method combined with content analysis of literary and archival sources was used to process the study. It was followed by a comprehensive method of historical-geographical research and field research, which generate a database of information to create a 3D model of the defunct church Koscelisko. The outputs processed in this way are available online to potential tourists via smartphones on the platform called Multimedia Guide to Geotourism (https://www.montanistika.eu).

The magazine Hlas, published between the years 1898 and 1904, had a significant impact on the political, social and cultural context at that time. Thinking in Slovakia in the 20th century was formed in relation to the magazine and its legacy on several levels. The goal of the paper is to carry out a survey of the reflections on the Hlasist movement, consciously constrained to the field of literature and literary science, although occasionally making inevitable references to a wider context of social science. The sources and texts analysed here are divided into four areas based on the time of creation, author's position, text strategy assuming a target group, genre and interpretation range. The aim of the analysis is not a review of the stereotypes used to interpret the Hlasist movement so far but an attempt at new reading based on the latest methodologies. New reading of the texts indicates the literary historical process of creating the image of the Hlasist movement. It also defines the nature of the tools used by individual authors to create the given image (e.g. legitimization, canonization, ideological interpretation, subversion of the traditional interpretation etc.).

The subject of this research was influence of the environmental parameters, like temperature, humidity and pollutants, on the corrosion rate of the zinc protective coating of the steel structural elements. Zinc is usually used to protect those elements against corrosion. The idea was to study the corrosion of zinc in different parts of Slovak Republic in order to create the so-called corrosion map of the country. The corrosion rate of zinc rcorr was calculated according to standard ISO 9223. Results have shown that both the input parameters, as well as the corrosion rate of zinc, are changing with time.

The study explores evolution of national element in selected Slavic cultures - Russian, Polish, Czech - in their history with particular emphasis on the 19th century, and in Slovak case from the 19th to the first half of the 20 th century. It outlines common features of national emancipation movements among the above nations, as well as their differences. Particular focus is given to the effect of the quest for national emancipation on the development of national operas in the given countries. The authors examine the features that might, in the given context, define the operatic production as national. Given its utterly specific evolution, Slovakia receives particular attention: socio-political circumstances delayed national emancipation, hence the tardy emergence of national opera. That brought thought-provoking aspects to the nascent Slovak national opera and European music drama production of the first half of the 20th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper focuses on tracking the idyllic topoi in historiosophical work by Jozef Miloslav Hurban Slovensko a jeho život literárny/Slovakia and its Literary Life, in which Slovak literary science emphasized the idea of continuity of the development of Slovak culture and literature. The deconstruction of the idyllic topoi shows that it is the idyll that is the important part of the ideological construction of Hurban´s work. The idyllic topoi in connection with mystification of the past enabled him to create the idea of continuity between the present times and the Great Moravian cultural legacy. The idyllic codes can be found in Hurban´s depiction of the Slovak territory, Slovak nation, and its cultural evolution. The ethic and esthetic values of the idyll became the base of Slovaks´ created collective identity. The idyllic language is part of the Romantic national myths, especially the myth of folksiness, the Great Moravian myth and the myth of the thousand-year-long yoke. Hurban´s idea of continuity of national culture, the connection between the „cradle of Slavs“ and the writer´s present times, and especially the utopia of Slavic future in the form of „Slavic heaven“ is based on idyllic topoi and Slovak Romantic myths.
