Dielo Jána Kollára zohralo svojho času významnú úlohu. Vysoko sa hodnotí Kollárova poézia, ale zaznávajú sa jeho vedecké práce. Jednou z vedecky kontroverzných otázok, o ktorej sa v kollárovskom výskume nehovorí, je Kollárova teória o pôvode Slovanov z Indie. V Slávy dcere sa Kollár o Indii zmieňuje ako o pravlasti Slovanov. Takéto vysvetlenie podal aj v dnes už prakticky zabudnutom spise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (1839). Cieľom príspevku je preskúmať tento spis, poukázať na jeho miesto v dobovom diskurze o pôvode Slovanov, ako aj na jeho relevantnosť pre pochopenie Slávy dcery. and The works of Ján Kollár played an important role in its time. His poetry is held in high esteem but his scholarly work is ignored. One of his scholarly controversial issues which is absent from the Kollár research is Kollár's theory of the origins of the Slavs from India. In Slávy dcéra (The Daughter of Sláva) he mentions India as the homeland of the Slavs. He propounded this explanation also in the now almost forgotten treatise Sláwa Bohyně a původ gména Slawůw čili Slawjanův (The Glory of the Goddess and the Origin of the Name of the Slavs or Slavyans, 1839). The paper aims at exploring this treatise, showing its place in the contemporary discourse on the origins of the Slavs as well as its relevance for the understanding of Slávy dcéra.
Štúdia pojednáva o sociálnych vzťahoch medzi rovesníkmi vo výchovnoinštitucionálnych kontextoch z hľadiska angažovanosti telesných prvkov v ich vzájomných interakciách. Ide o snahu prakticky rozvinúť tzv. etnografiu tela, ktorá namiesto rečovej analýzy zohľadňuje pozorovanie správania a prejavov participantov. Ozrejmené sú špecifické formy telesného kontaktu využívané jednak pri utváraní rovesníckych zoskupení a taktiež aj pri intencionálnom rovesníckom učení sa. and The study reports on social relations among peers in the contexts of various educational institutions. The aim of the study is to emphasize the importance of bodily expressions and their involvement in the constitution of peer-to-peer interactions, with focus on the ethnography of the body, reflecting rather the participants' behaviour than their speech. The author comments on various forms of corporeal contacts as key factors in the creation of peer groups and the intentional peer learning.
There was published a pamphlet called Aké bude Slovensko o sto rokov? (1920), [What will Slovakia be like in 100 years?] just a century ago. It offered a vision of Slovak national state's future – the state flourishing with social welfare, scientific and technological progress and moral maturity of citizens. Adaptation of "happy national home" idea for future, written by engineer Jozef Dohnány (1873 – 1947), carries marks characteristics for utopias. The conference paper approaches to Dohnány's vision as to a branch of modern dynamic utopic phenomenon, creating a communication space, especially in the 19.th and 20.th century, for expressing desires and ideals, testing possibilities of mental borders and calling for social or political mobilization in favour of achievement realistic, or even unrealistic aims. The paper uses interdisciplinary interpretative approach for analysis of Dohnány vision's ideological structure, compares it in relation to More's prototype of utopia and refers to representations of "period's presence" in utopic genre.
