  • “From House to Funeral Home”

    M UhrinARTICLENárodopisný věstník2026

    This paper examines how the introduction of death-related buildings, such as the funeral home in rural Slovakia, alters the ways and frequency of contact with the dead body and, in turn, influences the course and certain aspects of funeral rituals.

    Community adaptation is a way for a community or a community group to agree on its cultural space so that people's lives run harmoniously and prosperously. Adaptation is interrelated with how people respond to their environment, customs, and various external influences. This is also the case with the people of Dukuh Traditional Village, in Indonesia.

  • The Role of Subtle Signals Linked to Religious Rituals in the Evaluation of Newcomers by a Village Community

    Open AccessM Uhrin, Tatiana BužekováARTICLESlovenský národopis2022

    The purpose of the paper is to explore the role of religious rituals in assessing the behaviour of new people who come to live in their locality. It presents ethnographic data collected in a village in western Slovakia to demonstrate that participation in rituals plays an important role in the old settlers' descriptions of newcomers.

  • Grandparenthood from the Evolutionary Perspective

    Open AccessM UhrinARTICLESlovenský národopis2020

    Humans belong to the few species in which females and males live for a relatively long time after the end of their reproductive period. In this paper, I present theoretical concepts explaining the relatively long post-reproductive life span of humans and the menopause: the grandmother hypothesis and the diet, intelligence and longevity model (also known as the embodied capital model). The grandmother hypothesis, offering an evolutionary explanati…
