A View of West African Masks
The mask in West Africa is viewed as a sign with three aspects: expression, content and meaning. Expression is the part of the sign realized in some material. Content is the aspect of the sign which contains the signified concept. Meaning can be defined as a process, as an act relating the signifier to the concept signified. Meaning is shaped in religious practice. The mask as a complex sign plays a significant role in rituals. In religious pract…
Monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) on the Internet

Using the examples of two monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church, we will attempt to examine new ways in whi…
Sirogojno Style“
The basic premise of my research regarding the fashion production of Sirogojno style was that „objects are, like words, carriers of information“. Based on research published so far – a paper by Bojana Bogdanovic being the most detailed – and my own fieldwork conducted in 2010, I have attempted to ascertain the extent to which this particular style of fashion carried information about the cultural environment which it represented. The research enc…

Reevaluation of ethnologic field research of the Dogon
One of the events that marked the last decade of the 20th century was a more intensive re-evaluation of the work of Marcel Griaule (1898-1956), who was the first French ethnologist to conduct planned field research among the Dogon of Western Africa, in the period between 1931 and 1956. Griaule's work had previously been re-examined in the sixties, in France (Georges Balandier), Great Britain (Mary Douglas) and in other places. British social anth…

Claude Levi-Strauss stressed the multi-layered character of myth structure. Similar multi-layered character can be seen at the level of expression, content and meaning of Salish, Kwakiutl and other unique masks of this part of North America. Claude Levi-Strauss an…
