Slovenský film a nadmodernita
Slovak film and Supermodernity

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the relationship of contemporary Slovak film to place in terms of reduction of interest in ethnographic location. Employing the terminology of the anthropologist Marc Augé, it uses the example of his analysis of non-places as typical signs of supermodernity to examine changes in relation to location in Slovak cinematography after 2001. The analysis of the films Two Syllables Behind, Return of the Storks, It Will Stay Between Us and Other Worlds points to the relationship between the representation of supermodern relations (or even directly non-places) and the processes of European integration, accompanied by the crisis of national identity.
