Counterurbanites As Drivers of Innovation and Local Transformation
The study focuses on the village of Ezerets, located in a remote rural area near the Bulgarian–Romanian border. Based on ethnological research, the study investigates the motivations, experiences, and contributions of counterurbanites, both Bulgarian and foreign citizens, who have chosen to settle in the village. It examines the innovative practices, ideas, and entrepreneurial initiatives brought by the newcomers and their contribution to the soc…
Nature For Protection, Nature For Profit
We proceed from the understanding that humans are part of ecosystems, therefore, nature provides people with ecosystem services. At the same time, however, different social actors can perceive and evaluate the same place in totally different ways. The focus of this text is the case of Bolata bay, Bulgaria. Until the middle of the 20th century, the bay had an essential role in locals’ livelihoods (husbandry, fishing, etc.). The inclusion of the ar…
Counter-urbanization and “return” to rurality? Implications of Covid-19 pandemic in Bulgaria
The studies of the movements between the city and the village generally (especially in Southeastern Europe) refer to analyses of the processes of urbanization, and rarely focus on the so-called counter-urbanization. However, over the past decade, the increasing environmental sensitivity of a part of the urban population in active age, as well as the emergence of social movements that promote a slow and environmentally friendly lifestyle have inte…
Politicization of everyday ethnicity and religion in North Macedonia
The aim of this article is to analyse the dynamics of religion-ethnicity relation in the Republic of North Macedonia. Special emphasis is placed on the current ethno-political tensions between Albanians and Macedonians and the use of religion and religious symbols in this collision, which is reflected both in the political discourse and in the everyday life and relationships, influencing perceptions and collective notions of people about religion…
The Kosovo Conflict and the Changing Migration Patterns of the Gorani Community
The Gorani are one of the archetypal migrant communities in the Balkans: migrations in search of livelihoods and better living conditions have become for them a structure of everyday life, influencing and determining the peculiarities of the local culture and the social organization since (at least) the middle of the nineteenth century. The periods of relatively voluntary labour mobility have alternated with those of compelled and forced resettle…
Changing practices of “being together” in the transnational kin-relationships among Gorani
The article aims to study how Gorani manage family-kin relationships across space and time examining the continuities and shifts as they create and experience shared co-presence due to the developments of the migration patterns and increasingly complex transnational modes of living. The dynamics of the political, economic, social etc. environment are also considered when people’s efforts and practises of doing family and maintenance of kinship ar…
Social status and prestige in conditions of transnational migration. Ethnographic study among the Albanians from the Republic of Macedonia
The examination of social status in conditions of transnationalism is an important and fruitful topic since many of the social relations in which migrants find themselves involved in are paralleling or intersecting the social hierarchies and identities of both the destination and origin societies, ethnic communities and transnational social fields. It offers researchers good opportunity to examine the links between distribution of resources, expr…
Migration, remittances and socio-cultural dynamics

Effects of migration are studied in the context of the social and cultural practices and connections which individuals and groups carry and develop, and their reflections on the places of origin. Special attention is paid to the effects of financial an…
