She is a senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and a visiting professor at the Silesian University in Poland. She belongs to the generation of researches who elaborated the fundamental works of Slovak ethnology: “Ethnographic Atlas of Slovakia” (1990), “Encyclopedia of Folk Culture of Slovakia I. II.” (1995) and the monograph “Slovakia – European Contexts of Folk Culture (1997, 2007 in English). She specializes in the study of the culinary culture of Slovaks. She has publishes several books, dozens of scientific papers and popular articles and was the author of the exhibition in the Slovak National Museum “Tastes and Scents of Slovakia” (2007) The National Cuisine of Slovaks The term national cuisine of Slovaks means, first of all, the culinary culture of people living in the countryside and small towns who considered themselves to be of the Slovak ethnicity, as since the Middle Ages larger cities of Slovakia were populated mostly by Germans, Hungarians and Jews whose cuisines differed and originated in a different social and cultural context. In the 19th century, the culinary cultures of the rural and urban worlds started to grow closer due to the development of trade, the first phase of modernization of housing and changes in kitchen equipment. Many people from the country started to work in factories and in cities. Exchange of information was more intense and first cookbooks were published. In spite of these facts, up to these days the Slovak cuisine has not lost its unique rural character by which it differs from the cuisines of neighboring countries.

    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Enhanced! The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

  • Ethnobiology of Georgia
    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

  • International Cuisines IHM Notes
    International Cuisines Great Britain (British Cuisine) History Although the British Empire occupied once a quarter of the world’s land, had a quarter of the globe’s population, and is responsible for the industrial revolution, its cuisine has been described as a simple and even very poor. However most of these comments have more to do with the stereotype of British food as boil meat and vegetables. This is not British food, and never has been! The climate and the fact that it is an island affected the cuisine. From the warm climate of the south, to the cooler north. Golden wheat fields, and the fat cows of Jersey England produces amongst the finest produce available anywhere in the world. During the British Empire era, ingredients and cooking concepts were brought from the European countries with which Britain interacted, as well as from as far afield as The Americas, India and Asia and were incorporated widely into British food. The Britain saw the beginnings of World Cuisine as we know it today. While Escoffier, is considered by many the "Father of modern Cuisine" it is largely forgotten that he spent a large part of his working life working in English kitchens. And that many of his best remembered recipes were created at the Savoy and Ritz hotels in London. While it is also true that World Cuisine largely passed Britain for decades after the Second World War due largely to the heavy rationing still in place well after the war ended (in fact it finally finished altogether as late as 1954).

  • A Materialist Critique of Critical Balkanologies
    A MATERIALIST CRITIQUE OF CRITICAL BALKANOLOGIES RADE ZINAIC A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL THOUGHT YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2015 © Rade Zinaic, 2015 ABSTRACT The post-Cold War era from 1991 to the present is defined by two interrelated processes: (a) the political, social, and economic consequences of neoliberalization; and (b) a settled and universalizing cultural response to the materialities of this process. The institutional entrenchment of post-structuralist reading techniques provided a generation of critical balkanologists with the tools to successfully undo essentialist readings of the region; readings that define an era of denigrative balkanism where the causes of neoliberal war in the post- Yugoslav milieu are seen as problems of cultural invariance. Drawing on a Marxist theoretical tradition that centres the work of Teresa Ebert, I discover that these techniques are limited by an epistemology that fetishizes the “commodity” of the sign and an ontology that assumes the existence of little more than single individuals in civil society. Thus emergent and oppositional solidarities are incapable of being granted their experience. Critical balkanologies nonetheless marginalize and balkanize the physics of neoliberalism at precisely the moment of their violent ubiquity through dystopic worlds of ethereal imaginariums, impossibly complex Others or sentimental cyber-utopias – all in the place of class consciousness. Balkanism cannot be abolished via the scholastic unsettling of signs, but through intellectual accompaniment in protracted class struggles by (sub)proletarians against a capitalist mode of production that exploits and atomizes them, thus leaving them materially susceptible to nefarious conceptions of what it means to be human.
