Regional identities as potential tools for heritage based post-conflict reconciliation
The article examines how regional identities in Bosnia and Herzegovina persist despite administrative and ethnoreligious divisions. It is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork (2017–2023) conducted across multiple regions, drawing on semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and thematic analysis of narrative accounts. We show that cultural heritage is neither an immutable source of division nor a simplistic tool for reconciliation…
The underrepresentation of the ottoman intangible cultural heritage in the register of cultural property of montenegro
Understanding the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of the Balkan Peninsula is necessarily linked to comprehending the complex influences rooted in the long-standing dominance of the Ottoman Empire in this region. Given that these influences have significantly shaped various aspects of everyday life, it would be justified for them to be adequately represented in the national ICH registries of Western Balkan countries. However, existing research …
The Origins of Early Statehood in Southern Mesopotamia
The paper focuses on reconstructing the origins of the earliest states in the ancient Sumerian region, drawing on relevant texts from Sumerology and Assyriology. It traces their development by examining key forms of statehood. An overview of the early states in Southern Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Babylon) highlights the cultural and material conditions that shaped the complexity of human societies. These factors led to the emergence of social hie…
Nature as the source of Mysterium Tremendum
This paper is an attempt to analyze three horror classics - Algernon Blackwood?s ?The Willows? (1907), Clark Ashton Smith?s ?Genius Loci? (1936) and Ramsey Campbell?s ?The Voice of the Beach? (1977) - in which the landscape is envisioned as the abode of supernatural power. The common thread between these stories is the concept of natural scenery which merges and blends the real and unreal, the mind, flesh and the phenomenal world. As landscape is…
On the Link between the Protection of Minorities' Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Evaluation of Social Sciences and Humanities in the Republic of Serbia
The results of theoretical and field research into a) the state of protection of minorities' intangible cultural heritage, and b) the evaluation criteria for social sciences and humanities in the Republic of Serbia, indicate a clear and concerning correlation. Seemingly paradoxically, social sciences and humanities in the Serbian language are in an equally unfavorable, undervalued position as is the cultural heritage of minorities relative to tha…
Noises in communication
In this paper, through the application of the concept of double bind, formulated by the British anthropologist Gregory Bateson and his associates, the communicative contradiction of messages and instructions related to behavior in circumstances of epidemiological danger, announced by the government officials, doctors and the Crisis Staff during the corona virus epidemic in Serbia will be considered, as well as the consequences of such communicati…
Index “Corona”
In this paper we analyze the different ways in which COVID-19 is used as a carrier of cultural communication, whereupon it appears as a signifier of other socio-cultural phenomena and as a conveyer of messages of such communication. Accordingly, this paper will not observe health plan of COVID-19, nor the accompanying sociological phenomena of the epidemic in the strict sense of the word, but will focus instead on the cultural dimension of the in…
The New Normal and Covid-19 in Serbia from February to May 2020
The situation caused by the appearance of Covid-19 can be viewed as a critical event: typologically, it is an unprecedented event, which requires and shapes new forms of historical action hitherto unknown in the given context. Critical events serve as strong value and emotional landmarks in the cultural cognition of each social environment, and form the basis for a meaningful determination towards other events. Using material collected primarily …
One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away
The paper tries to determine what exactly means when the city and the state (indirectly) authorities call some object “the new symbol of Belgrade.” This scientific problem is considered on the case of a musical fountain on Slavija Square. What kind of symbol is that and on what basis it is attributed to this status? What should a musical fountain represent, as the “new” symbol of the capital? On these and other questions, I will try to answer wit…
Horror and Evil
This paper deals with the relationship between the real and the unreal in horror literature. Its basic premise is that the concept of evil in horror stories stems from liminal content which is the product of the authors' subjective experiences of reality. The aim of the paper is to answer the question of whether such conceptualizations of evil can be put into a certain socio-cultural context, or are they arbitrary seeing as they are rooted in the…
Sources for a Prehistory of Ethnology in the Islamic World
Within the discipline, the historical roots of ethnology and anthropology are most often traced through European antiquity, the enlightenment and the modern intellectual traditions of the West. Even though this view is somewhat justified (in that it follows a clear continuity in the development and scientification of the discipline in western universities), it, perhaps unintentionally, leaves out the intellectual efforts of Islamic thinkers and t…
I Believe in God and Judgment day.” Hayrun Yahya and the Contemporary Contextualization of Apocalyptic Hadiths
The motif of the apocalypse has fascinated mankind from the very beginnings of oral history and is present in various myths and religious traditions, finding its expression in the art of all time periods. Even today it hasn't lost its grip on human imagination. In modern Islamic contexts, the phenomenon of the apocalypse incorporates anti-western ideologies, which reflect, to a large extent the sociocultural heritage of former anti-colonialist st…
Islam” In the Anti-Multicultural Rhetoric of Western European Politicians and Anthropologists
The recent rhetoric of the “end” or “failure” of multiculturalism in Europe and beyond came as no surprise to anthropologists. Moreover, the statements made by leading politicians of key European economies seem as though they are based on the decades old anthropological critique of the consequences of the failed implementation of multicultural policies in Europe and on the global level. It is as though the messages we have been getting over the c…
The Right Way Through the Region of Sin
In the 1980s numerous debates were held in the House of Lords on the scientific research of embryos, with certain participants attempting to point out the difference between two styles of thought, namely, religious and scientific thought. Yet was the conflict in the House of Lords between two styles of thinking, or rather between the proponents of the scientific approach, on the one hand, and the proponents of religious thought, on the other, for…
Who Is Who in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
The the paper explores the causes and effects of the ideological background of Jovan Cvijić’s anthropogeographical and ethnopsychological research in the former Yugoslav region of the Balkan Peninsula. The paper shows that Cvijić’s intellectual endeavors to forge a new Yugoslav identity, which he believed to be indispensable for the successful implementation of the South Slav state unification project, were based on ethnocentric premises that res…
