Zmiešané manželstvá (manželstvá s cudzincami) ako sociokultúrny fenomén [Mixed Marriages as a Social and Cultural Phenomenon]

Abstract

In her publication Mixed marriages (marriages with foreigners) as a socio-cultural phenomenon she deals with the increasingly widespread phenomenon of mixed marriages, i.e., marriages of partners who come from religiously, ethnically, racially, socially, linguistically or politico-economically different groups. The theme of marriages of Slovak citizens with residents of other countries has so far only been marginally studied by social science disciplines, which, according to Letavajová, needs to be changed due to the increasingly intensive migration and contacts with people from other cultures and countries. In her publication, she, therefore, attempts to "give a picture of mixed marriages as a broadspectrum and multilayered social phenomenon, as well as a specific social category" (LETAVAJOVÁ 2018:10).
