Professor Martina Pavlicová serves as a Professor at the Institute of European Ethnology within the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Her academic address is Arna Nováka 1/1, 602 00 Brno, with office space in building J/J.304 at Jaselská 201/18. With 146 publications spanning from 1993 to 2024, she maintains an active scholarly profile in European ethnology and folklore studies.
Her research interests focus on ethnology, European ethnology, folklore studies, cultural heritage, ethnochoreology (folk dance studies), intangible cultural heritage, and Czech folk traditions. Professor Pavlicová examines how folklore functions within social contexts, particularly transformations of tradition under different political regimes, with special attention to music and dance folklore in the Czech lands.
Her recent publications (2023-2024) reveal a strong focus on the ambivalence of folklore in social contexts, the relationship between folk traditions and cultural heritage, and reflections on tradition transformations in light of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage framework. Her work frequently addresses the Czech folklore revival movement within totalitarian cultural policy contexts.
Professor Pavlicová serves on several important academic bodies including the Industry Council for Ethnology, Program Boards for both bachelor's and master's degree programs in Ethnology, and the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University.
Her academic contributions span theoretical frameworks in ethnology, documentation of Czech folk traditions, analysis of cultural heritage policy, and historical examinations of folklore movements, particularly during the 20th century in the Czech Republic.
