Miroslav Válka has reviewed a Slovak publication by Jaroslav Čukan et al.: Butín. Cultural traditions of Slovaks in the Romanian Banat (Butín. Kultúrne tradície Slovákov v rumunskom Banáte).The book builds on the previous publication activities of the Faculty of Arts at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra that intensely document the culture of Slovaks in so-called Lower Land. A publication on cultural traditions of Butín in the Romanian Banat near the Serbian border. The authors attempt to analyse the phenomena and search the factors that shape ethnical consciousness and local culture of Slovaks from Butín. they have asked questions concerning what the local culture and the culture of other Slovak villages in Banat and in the Lower Land have in common and how they differ as well as how transmission and acculturation take place. Libor Svoboda reviews Roman Doušek’s book Sebranice and their reeve Ondřej Kanýz (1694-1761). Village community and its culture in the first half of the XVIII century.(Sebranice a jejich rychtář Ondřej Kanýz. Vesnická komunita a její kultura v první polovině 18. století)., The book was created as a result of studies of manuscript materials relating to the personality of Sebranice reeve Ondřej Kanýz. The author describes various aspects of the contemporary culture of the village, from its social structures through material culture and family rituals to religion and the spiritual world of the contemporary villagers. the book also focuses on an individual, village reeve Ondřej Kanýz, through whom we learn most information on the life in a Moravian baroque village. Second of the reviewed books is a monograph written by a collective of authors under the leadership of Markéta Holubová Obraz ženy v kramářské produkci (The Picture of Woman in Broadside Production). Czech ethnology has paid a lot of attention to the broadside prints within the last one hundred years. The advance in thorough understanding of available materials related first of all to the recent cataloguing and digitising plenty of broadside print collections creates an ideal platform for the development of a number of new viewpoints concerning this issue., Twelve essays document the extent to which broadside production can be used as a specific source material whose analysis reveals information about the phenomenon under examination as a subject, as well as about the way it can help to portray phenomena for general awareness. The result of a systematic field research of folk architecture carried out within the frame of the grant project Identification and documentation of traditional folk architecture in the Zlín region is a pair of publications: Folk architecture known unknown. Zlín region. I. Uherské Hradiště area. (Lidové stavby známé neznámé. Zlínský kraj. I. Uherskohradišťsko) and Folk architecture known unknown. Zlín region. II. Zlín area. (Lidové stavby známé neznámé. Zlínský kraj. II. Zlínsko). The authors have dealt with residential, farm and operational buildings and the material collected (from total of 260 sites) describes specific features of various stages of development as well as transformation of folk architecture objects over the past more than one hundred years. In 2009, the department of European Ethnology at Masaryk University in Brno launched a new publisher’s series Ethnological materials by publishing Ethnographic materials in Czech culture and history journals in the second half of the XIX century. Annotated bibliography (Národopisné materiály v českých kulturně-historických časopisech 2. poloviny 19. století.
