In the article The colono and his landlord - two styles of living and two types of residential culture (Two cases on the microlevel), the author reconstructs the residential culture and the style of living of two social classes, tenants and their landlord, based on two cases from the village of Gornji Drnovk in the Goriška Brda region. Her main sources are oral and written accounts, the ethnological evidence expressed in poems, written by a female protagonist of the two levels of social conditions described in the article, and material remnants. The period treated ranges from World War 1 to the seventies of our century and thus partly covers a time when the colonia had already been abandoned.
