Seasonal Work in the Memory of the People of Apátistvánfalva
V pricujocem prispevku so predstavljeni izsledki terenske raziskave o sezonskem zaposlovanju prebivalcev Stevanovcev (južni del Porabja) med obema vojnama, ko je bilo med vascani sezonsko delo se zmeraj razsirjeno. Na sezonskem delu zasluženi pridelek je bil pomemben vir za preživetje družin. Vecmesecno bivanje na posestvih v razlicnih županijah na Madžarskem, kakor tudi v Nemciji, je pustilo globoke sledi v spominu Stevanovcanov. Pricevanja nekdanjih sezonskih delavcev so pomemben vir pri preucevanju sezonskega zaposlovanja porabskih Slovencev. *** The paper focuses on the findings of a fieldwork research on seasonal work practices of the people of Apatistvanfalva (Stevanovci in Slovenian) in the south of Porabje, an area situated in a triangle between Hungary, Slovenia, and Austria. In the period between the First and the Second World Wars, seasonal work was still a significant source of income for the local population. The time spent working in different regions of Hungary as well as Germany, which usually lasted several months, has remained very much alive in the memories of the villagers of Stevanovci. Recounts of former seasonal workers and their family members represent an important source for the study of seasonal work of Slovenians from Porabje.
