The article explores the issue of ambivalent identities in transnational migrations between Argentina and Slovenia. Recent migrations between the two states are historically and causally related to political emigration after the Second World War from Slovenia to Argentina and the formation of a diasporic community that asserted complex symbolic links to its homeland. Due to this connection, contemporary migrants can claim and (re)activate their Slovene origin, ‘original’ culture, belonging, citizenship and social identities.

The article discusses a special form of »christianization of space«, induced by the placement of crosses above Macedonian cities and towns in the first years of the 21th century. The author argues that in this case, the marking of the landscape with religious symbols is a prominent political act, which is not motivated with division of Macedonian citizens into ethnic Macedonians and Albanians, but represents un unbridgeable alienation of Macedonian state from its citizens at that time.

Author discusses some methodological and conceptual problems faced by an anthropologist engaged in research of intangible heritage in general and especially in relation to nature protected areas. Discrepancies in the scope and understanding of intangible cultural heritage are result of wider social/civilisation shifts in defining acceptable activities and social/nature relations. Paradoxes arise also from presumable political correctness of UNESCO definition and because of paradigmatic changes in anthropology it-self. Basic unit of analysis in this article is household.
