    Human-animal cohabitation and biocultural diversity: Insights from non-agrarian Roma communities in the Danube region
    (Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, 2025) Murin, Ivan; Souček, Ivan
    Historical non-agrarian Roma/Gypsy communities in Europe have often come into conflict with social doctrines emphasizing household living, local attachment, and dependence, characteristics typical of the agrarian adaptations of settled communities. During 2020 – 2024, anthropological fieldwork in the Roma localities of Dolinka (Slovakia) and Mahala (Bulgaria) was conducted with the aim of analysing the identity, function, and parallels between humans and animals in terms of cohabitation, perception, and the efficient distribution of small, everyday innovations. Using coding lists, we evaluated the interpretations of Roma participants of human-animal semi-adaptations in predominantly agricultural areas. Our findings included data and case studies related to (1) the coexistence of humans and animals, (2) the traditional functions of beneficial symbiosis, and (3) the potential for heritagization. This research provides qualitative and quantitative evidence of human-animal interactions, demonstrating that the cultural identity of Roma communities is intricately processed and plays an important role in the heritagization and preservation of biocultural diversity.

    Lived heritage and local cultures: depopulation in Slovakia
    (Taylor & Francis Group : Abingdon, 2025) Murin, Ivan; Hanko, Jaroslav; Aláč, Ján
    Although there has been a steady increase in population growth in the last two centuries, scholarly and public discussions express concerns about the decline of population vitality and the loss of cultural diversity in many areas of the world. These demographic processes are associated with various forms of development stagnation well observed in several areas of Europe. The age structure of the population in certain areas is distorted, the opportunities for revitalisation are limited, existing social, well-being and education infrastructure are weakened. In some peripheral regions of Slovakia, we witness a kind of vicious circle, when the area is trapped in a cycle of cumulative causation. Two case studies (Stará Halič, Ľuboreč) and effects of depopulations are shown on the local processes of declining reproductive behaviour, disintegration of kinship relationships, limitations of cooperation and reciprocity, changes and reduction of the cultural transfer of knowledge, stability and innovation. From the perspective of anthropology and historical demography, depopulation has a considerable impact on the sustainability of local cultural diversity in Central Europe. We focused on the vitality of cultural heritage to transmit rural housing lifestyle and ecosystem services that make landscape and local culture sustainable.
