The fourth, last issue of "Národopisná revue" in 1996 differs from the previous issues. While the articles and studies of the first issue dealt with the Hanácké Slovácko ethnography region, the second issue specialized in the 40^th anniversary of the foundation of Ústav lidové kultury (the Folk Culture Institute) in Strážnice, and finally the third issue was devoted to the 50^th anniversary of the foundation of the UNESCO. This fourth issue is focused deeper on different reports and reviews.

The introduction belongs to the collective of authors Alena Schauerová, Věra Frolcová and Šárka Portesová. They publicize the first results of the "Home Throuhg the Children's Eyes" project, which was iniciated under the umbrella of the Folk Culture Institute in Strážnice. The necessity of the interdisciplinary studies of superstitions is stressed in an article by the late scholar Vladimír Scheufler. Eva Urbachová explores in her report the wedding tradition in which the brides were introduced among the married women by the way of arranging their head scraf.

The articles are supplemented by reports from folklore festivals and seminars, evaluations of exhibitions, book and memorial volumes reviews, and other Information.
