Abstract

The article, focused on the rural area in Slovakia, provides ethnographic insight into the recontextualizing forms of the identity marks and the ways of re-shaping the landscape’s elements, having emic and etic approaches. The research introduces the perspective of the non-native researcher with the selected cultural terrain and group. Attention is directed to the contemporary aspects of the landscape and its ethnographic elements, as they were noticed in situ; the synchronic and chronologic views of them are considered as well.
