The poem is not only a document of the contemporary literary culture, but it is also a valuable source of information about the historical flood on the river Váh in 1813. By analysing this poem, we can interprete flood events, their course, damage, loss of property, but also the techniques of rescue works and restoration of the buildings damaged by water. To maintain the communicative pluralism of the poem we must bear in mind its literary, aesthetic and philosophical interpretation. This poem represents within the context with other documents a valuable piece, although unknown, and contributes to the knowledge of the greatest flood on the river Váh.

Pozdní portugalský kolonialismus a Freyreho lusotropicalismo
(Late Portuguese Colonialism and Freyre's Lusotropicalismo)
pp. 307–322

Whereas at the beginning of his career Brazilian anthropologist and sociologist Gilberto Freyre researched into his fatherland's cultural identity, later his thought got markedly cosmopolitan features. It was especially in the context of post-World War II world when Freyre's ideas resounded. Even though initially disregarded, forceful impact of decolonization made him visible – particularly his theory of Lusotropicalism – to Salazarist political and intellectual elites for his thought could provide them with longed-for and highly uselful legitimizing myth. Thus, in Portugal Freyre's scientific theory got rapidly politicized, became part of Salazarist mythology and valuable ally in the search of the new place in the decolonized world. Freyre's theses about specific, i.e. not typically European and not ethnocentric, character of Portuguese colonization became part Salazar's official speeches and interviews and was frequently reminded by both Salazarist authorities and anti-Salazarist opposition. Thus, originally scientific and foreign concept was skillfully exploited in international politics and propaganda.

Keywords: Gilberto Freyre; lusotropicalismo; race; hybridism; Portugal; colonization

K teoretickým východiskům muzejní pedagogiky
(To the Theoretical Scope of the Museum Pedagogy)
pp. 323–331

The current museum pedagogy is “rocket science” – an established and dynamically evolving scientific discipline that could actually respond to the changing needs of the museum audience and to new international events and also appropriately reflects the findings of extensive empirical research of museum education. The aim of this paper is to recall the selected theoretical foundations of museum pedagogy and also the importance of systematic empirical research of museum education. This research is needed to further theoretical and practical development of museum education. At the same time provides an objective and necessary data to museums and society's legitimate need to justify further development and wider support museum education.

(Scientific – Technical Centre for Children and Youth in Košice)

Slovak Technical Museum (STM) provides a view to the history of the science and technology. It presents the contribution of Slovakia and Slovak personalities to the development of the world’s science and technology. As the only institution in Slovakia it collects and evaluates pieces of evidence related to the development of science and technology in Slovakia and it utilizes them for scientific as well as cultural and educational purposes. From its foundation the Museum has focused also to educational activities related to public, by means of interactive expositions and various additional activities. Due to their modern form they have been very attractive for general public, mainly for young people. Science centers - multifunctional facilities of informal education provide a nontraditional form of education. Activities of STM in cooperation with academic and research institutions in Košice are aimed at the foundation of the science center of this kind. The project under the auspices of Ministry of Culture of Slovak Republic, the goal of which is the foundation of the Scientific – Technical Center for children and youth at the STM in Košice, will be realized within the project Košice - European Capital of Culture 2013.

Especially belaud the most distinguished personalities, for example Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, Fernand Braudel, Jacques Le Goff or Roger Chartier.
