summary

Social anthropology applied to selected local communities in the villages of middle Slovakia in order to depict the functioning and various forms of social relationships in Central Europe. The publication stems from a 20 year field research. The author uses the methodology of "interpretative anthropology" – he works with "stories" of his informants (narrators). His interpretation of vivid stories and explanations of daily life situations, relations, spiritual values etc. creates an interesting confontation between the micro and macro world.
