ABSTRACT
The Serbian Orthodox community in the Bela Krajina region in southern Slovenia, which presently consists of four villages (Bojanci, Miliči, Marindol and Paunoviči), is considered the northernmost “island” ofthe Serbian Orthodox population and has traditionally been approached through the ideological lenses of locality, authenticity (or lack of thereof ), isolation and demarcation from other groups in Bela Krajina. As a consequence, the dominant discourses (both academic and popular) about this community are those that highlight and try to reconstruct “pure” cultural and linguistic traits, or those that lament overtheir inevitable disappearance. Such a binary perspective precludes any possibility of recognizing the dynamics in both everyday cultural patterns and in heritage negotiation in and around this community. This article highlights heritage as an experience utilized by diverse actors in making sense of their presentand future. As such it is necessarily dynamic, dialogical, multi-voiced, and contested.

ABSTRACT
This article attempts to turn from describing heritage in the framework of official and everyday discourses of identity and politics of belonging towards acknowledging its spatial nature. As an example, I use the Guča na Krasu festival in order to explore two main questions: how a strong notion of locality is mediated by the non-locality of sound, and the ways in which globalization and mobility are remodelling music heritage protocols, particularly in the case of migrant communities. I explore the ways in which trumpet orchestra music, as one of the main genres of Balkan music on the world music market, is becoming an affective tool of identification and affiliation, and bringing a newly emergent globallocal dynamics to the existing heritage management of the Serbian community living in this area. The discourses of heterogeneity and transnationality in branding Balkan music have led to an ambivalent identification with the festival among community members. Navigating between sound environments, music heritage protocols, globalization processes and affective technologies, the space is approached through an examination of the complexity of relations among communities, affective spatio-temporal sound collectivities, and music globalization processes.

ABSTRACT
With the increasing importance of cultural heritage and its role in contemporary societies, 1 an increasing number of researchers and heritage experts are calling for an understanding of heritage that would more adequately reflect the complex and often contested social processes and engagements with the past and be more sensitive to the needs, visions, negotiations, and experiences of communities andindividuals. These voices are part of an already well-articulated critique of the normativity, one-directionality and past-orientation of the mainstream heritage discourses and institutionalized practices in the Western World (Smith 2006).

ABSTRACT
Food is not only a component of the material world and a means to satisfy basic physiological needs butalso plays an important role in the culture and the social life of the community. Collective preparation and consumption of food connects people, creates new relations, and strengthens the position of individuals within the community. In addition, food is an important means of differentiation that separates people according to their sex, age, and their religious, social, and ethnic affiliations. For members of different ethnic communities living in majority societies, food and food practices also represent a means of establishing and maintaining their ethnic identity. This holds true for Slovenes living in Serbia, who se ethnic affiliation is further consolidated by certain foods and dishes, such as the potica cake. Like some other elements, food shapes and impacts the lives of the members of ethnic communities, and in turnthese members participate significantly in the creation of the meaning of certain dishes, giving themnew form and content.

ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the previously insufficiently researched Prague period of the writer Zofka Kveder and her literary depiction of the great city of Prague. The topological analysis is motivated by studies examining the literary category of space and literary depiction of the city. The horizontal topological research is placed into a broader context which also tackles the research subject vis-à-vis the so-called Prague Text, while the focus remains on the Modernist literary period. The analysis of the image of a foreign city through the perspective of an immigrant Slovene writer includes the author’s fiction as well as non-fiction prose. Through the writer’s short prose, novel, and newspaper articles about the Czech capital emerges an image of the “Golden Prague” – the historic city with its distinctive skyline.
