As part of their ethnological research, the Institute’s researchers focus on the following themes: economy, architecture, ways of living, food, family, kinship and other forms of community life, local cultures, inter-ethnic contacts and relationships, manners and customs, rituals, folk narrative, literary folklore, beliefs and other cultural phenomena of intangible cultural heritage. They also deal with visual anthropology, history, and ethnological theory as well as ethnological terminology.
The Institute maintains extensive collections of archival material, sound and visual documentation, material on current research projects, and a large ethnological library. The Audiovisual Laboratory with its rich visual documentation and film material is a special unit of the ISE which also hosts the annual Visuality Summer School.
Safeguarding the intangible culture
Since 2008 the Institute acts as the national coordinator with numerous tasks. One of the first steps in the safeguarding is the establishment of the national intangible cultural heritage register.
The Institute has formed a consulting group of experts who discuss the methodologies and criteria for the inclusion of particular intangible culture items in the register (open call, expert guidance and professional preparation of the requested documentation). During this introductory period the coordinator prepared a comparative study on different national approaches and published all documents (in Slovenian) on a newly developed website. In collaboration with the Audiovisual Laboratory it has also produced or digitalised several ethnographic films (even archival, e.g. Cerkno Mardi Gras from 1956), photographs and power point presentation (provided by one of the active participants of the Drežnica Mardi Gras) of particular customs and published them on-line (the Catalogues section).
The Institute collaborates with several institutes in Slovenia, abroad and neighbouring countries. The current research project Cultural Spaces and Practices: Ethnology and Folklore Studies (2009-2013) explores research paradigms in ethnology and folklore studies.
