The article examines proprietary and non-proprie-tary (feral) animals in the urban environment, their symbolic and real dimensions and also includes an empirical study of both animal species in Ljubljana between 2012 and 2020. Propri-etary animals are domesticated dogs that still represent the property of an individual human and have a high social status. In this case, pigeons are non-proprietary, and today, despite their relative freedom, they can become ‘trash’ animals through hu-man views. The author believes that the animal-human relation-ship is designed as a binary perception of the world, and thus proposes its deconstruction.

The monograph discusses various groups of itinerant singers in Slovenia in the period spanning from the times of former musicians called igrci to the rise of the radio. It analyses their creativity and observes the changes in their social roles. Critically considering primary sources and unknown or overlooked testimonies, the monograph gives a new view not only on the song creativity but also on the society where it flourished. Looking at the folklorisation of songs sung by itinerant singers, the monograph changes the understanding of creators and bearers of folk traditions. The monograph was chosen for the selection ‘Excellent in Science 2020’ promoted by Slovenian Research Agency.

The essay is the result of the author's long-time participation in the Sub-Study Group on Round Dances — 19th Century Derived Couple Dances, operating within the Study Group on Ethnochoreology, under the auspices of the International Council on Traditional Music (ICTM). In the text R. Kunej surveys the sources for knowledge about the Waltz in Slovenian space. She follows the Waltz from its first appearance in Slovenian sources in the early 19th century until the early 21st century, and shows how it is still popular, particularly in the countryside. Her chapter presents an overview of how one dance type finds its place among other dance types, and how it survives changing influences.

The paper presents France Marolt's endeavours spanning many years to acquire the recording devices that he planned to use for documenting folk music in the field, as well as for his research work and various forms of educational and cultural activities. The main focus is on researching the circumstances in which sound recordings on gramophone records were made in collaboration with Radio Ljubljana, and on the first sound collection of the Institute of Ethnomusicology ZRC SAZU, which consisted of these records. The records have a special documentary value and, combined with archival documents, convey Marolt's view of folk music.
