Our program comprised ethnological research throughout the Slovene ethnic territory, history of Slovene ethnology, visual ethnology, ethnological theory and methodology, and central document collection. Research work was centered in the following sections: for material culture (economy, architecture, food), for social culture (yearly and life cycle customs, masks and masquerading, work customs, family and kinship relations, neighborhood, interethnic relations, borders) and for spiritual culture (narrative and folk literature, beliefs, mythology, toponymics). A publication on carnival customs titled O pustu, maskah in maskiranju (Carnival Customs, Masks and Masquerading, ed. J. Fikfak, A. Gačnik, N. Križnar, H. Ložer-Podlogar) was published. The Audiovisual Laboratory conducted filming and visual research projects as well as summer visual workshops. Our most important team project was the completion of the Slovene Ethnological Lexicon (ed. A. Baš) which was realised in cooperation with other ethnologists, mostly from the Slovene Ethnographic Museum and the Departement of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology in Ljubljana. We publish two yearly publications, Traditiones (a collection of scientific papers) and Studia mythologica Slavica which is a joint publication of our Institute and the Udine University from Italy.
