The study deals with the relationship of contemporary Slovak film to place in terms of reduction of interest in ethnographic location. Employing the terminology of anthropologist Marc Auge, it uses the example of his analysis of non-places as typical signs of super modernity to examine changes in relation to location in Slovak cinematography after 2001. The analysis of the films 'Two Syllables Behind', 'Return of the Storks', 'It Will Stay Between Us' and 'Other Worlds' points to the relationship between the representation of super modern relations (or even directly non-places) and the processes of European integration, accompanied by the crisis of national identity.

The paper is introduction to the metamorphosis of the Slovak stage design from the 1970s up to present. The author focuses on the expansion of conventional theatre space in the Slovak context (auditorium/stage) by new acting locations (street, square, railway station, i.e. site-specific locations) and other changes related to modernism, post-modernism and trans-culturalism in the arts/ the theatre. Today, stage design reflects the feelings and a flurry of emotions of an individual and of the society. It makes use of the state-of-the-art technology not only to finish off a message but also to disintegrate an idea, a plot and to act as a counterpoint to the word or the theme. On the one hand, it is dynamic and polyfunctional, on the other hand, it is static and semiotic. New theatre forms reflect the time we live. The story has disappeared from the theatre and it has been replaced by the images, emotions of an actor/performer, thus representing his/their (self) knowledge. Oftentimes, the stage designer is within the performer who lives the time together with “his/her” audience.
In the 80s and 90s the accelerated development of technology caused several changes in most sciences, even in the field of business formations. The classical value chain transformed, the university science centres obtained a bigger focus and the role of research organisations is getting more and more important. New business form emerged and became popular: the academic spin-off firm. However, the spin-off companies are well-known and widely used ventures in the corporate business for a long time, especially at technology-oriented industries. For the time being, there is plenty of literature and completed surveys available regarding both academic and corporate spin-off. Some of them are engaged to reveal the critical success factors of spin-off companies and several models were created. The hypothetical question of this study whether common success factors do exist for both types of spin-off even if they are established in quite different environments. Using the relevant international literature and available public data of academic and corporate spin-off firms, six aspects were investigated: 'Raison d' etre', management, investment, networking, location and relation to intellectual property. As a result of this study, common success factors of spin-off companies having different origins could be identified.
