Up to the second half of the twentieth century, Slovenian ethnologists and folklorists were concerned almost exclusively with the phenomena of folk culture in the “traditional” sense generally used in European ethnology—that is, as the rural, “low”, “simple” culture typical of an ethnic community and, later on, a nation. Due to historical, economic, and social changes, the concept experienced semantic alterations (as reflected in academic definitions and public reception concerning cultural heritage), followed upon by new and diverse forms of transmitting acquired knowledge concerning cultural heritage. These processes were the outcome of the scholarly reconceptualization of culture research as well as the commodification of culture, especially under the rubric of cultural heritage.
