Kultura jako alibi, aneb proč dnes číst Unni Wikanovou
The text proposes a “genealogical” reading of Unni Wikan’s essay Culture: A New Concept of Race, positioning it not as an empirically up-todate contribution to migration studies, but as a still highly relevant critique of the ways in which “culture” is used in public and institutional discourse. It demonstrates that cultural argumentation often functions not as an analytical tool, but rather as a morally acceptable shortcut and an alibi for insti…

The first part of the article is devoted to the recapitulation of domestic academic interest in Czech and Slovak compatriots in Bulgaria, focusing on the central compatriot organization in the country – the Czechoslovak National House of T. G. Masaryk in Sofia. The second part of the article presents the annotated a…

A review of a book by Marek Jakoubek
Ethnic Groups and Boundaries
The text focuses on a revision of the narrative about and status of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (1969), touted as a ground-breaking publication which heralded a historic turning point in the study of ethnicity. In the first part, the author demonstrates that the understanding of ethnic groups, as presented in this work, was in no way original in its time; rather, it exemplified an already well-established and generally accepted theoretical model…
Fieldwork? Better not
This article discusses the methodological and ethical challenges posed by the bureaucratization of research ethics in Eastern Europe, particularly as this impacts the practice of anthropology and fieldwork. It reflects on the authors’ extensive fieldwork among Czech‐speaking Protestants in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, highlighting the discrepancy between Western and Eastern European academic norms regarding ethnography. The authors argue that…

An unpublished contribution to Ethnic Groups and Boundaries

Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference. Bergen: Universitetsforlaget) is an output of the symposium held in Bergen in 1967. Eleven participants took part in the symposium and eleven papers were discussed. The book, however, consists, apart from Barth's prodigious …
Ethnicity Past and Present
The beginnings of the interview date back to 2019, the year when we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (Barth 1969). We used this event as a springboard for looking back at the rich professional trajectory of Professor Ulf Hannerz, in which ethnicity and other forms of collective identities play one of the key roles. The interview was started after a lecture by Professor Hannerz, ‘Fifty Years of D…
Building a Part of Nation Abroad (How Civitas Dei Voyvodovo become a Czech Village in Bulgaria)
Voyvodovo, a village in Northwest Bulgaria, is standardly described as a Czech village in Bulgaria, inhabited by the Czech compatriots. The article tries to prove this conceptualization historically inadequate and offers a different line of interpretation. It shows that members of this community, who had left Czech lands before the Czech national revival movement, did not share Czech national identity because this was established only after their…

National Indifference in Post-Ottoman Spaces
This study represents an application of the concept of national indifference in the Post-Ottoman Balkans. It addresses the question of why two minority communities in Northwest Bulgaria in the first half of 20th century – the Protestant Voyvodovo community and the Catholic community of Bărdarski Geran, both marked by a strong principle of religious endogamy, intermarried. The author maintains that the main reason why these two communities interma…

A breakthrough of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries - reality or a myth? (On amnesia in ethnicity studies)
There is universal agreement in the scholarly community on the crucial position of the book Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference (ed. F Barth, 1969) in the modern study of ethnicity. General consensus goes that this work has a status of a founding work that developed a theoretical paradigm and model of ethnic groups, on which the study of ethnicity draws until today. This study critically reviews this reputa…
Oscar Lewis's Blind Spot
This article deals with the question of the applicability of Lewis' concept of the culture of poverty to the situation of the socially excluded localities in urban setting inhabited by Roma ("Roma ghettoes"). The "Roma ghettoes" are shown to be places of a specific cultural pattern which emerged in the process of reaction and adaptation to the long-lasting poverty of its inhabitants. This pattern matches most of the parameters of the culture of p…
Transformations of Roma’s Marriage Patterns after Migration from Slovakia to the Czech Republic
The article is based on the analysis of the field data from the Slovak and Czech localities inhabited by the Roma. It presents a model of the transformation of a part of the studied group in the Czech localities after their emigration since the end of the WWII from Slovakia. The authors present a model of the patterns which prevailed in the choice of the marital partner in the oldest generation, living in the Slovak Roma settlements. This pattern…
The death of informants or when a fieldworker outlives the community studied
This paper analyses the phenomenon of the death of informants. Based on his own experience with the long-term (1999–2016) research of Voyvodovo – the only Czech village in Bulgaria, the author shows what the death of one’s informants means for the research and the researcher. The author argues that any long-term fieldwork entails emotional involvement of the researcher, and so the departure of his or her informants has a deep impact on the resear…

On the process of national indifferentiation
As national groups are concerned, constructivist argumentation typically follows the process of establishing national identities. Thus, it commonly studies the development of a nationally indifferent population to a population that is nationally conscious. On a general level, this paper analyses and illustrates the opposite process, i.e., the process of ‘denationalization’, or in other words, the emergence of national indifference (i.e. national …
Strukturální analýza romské religiozity na příkladu rituální praktiky „přísahy u kříže
The following text is based on the outcomes of a long-term field research carried out in eastern Slovakia, and it focuses on the character and specifics of religiosity of the Romany settlements inhabitants. One of the characteristic features of this religiosity is the fact that its core is still based on magical practices while Christianity only covers it on the surface. We will attempt to document this feature by examining a particular example o…
La méthode généalogique et son application pour réaliser une enquête dans une colonie tsigane
The article offers an introduction to the genealogical method for anthropologists who have carried out, carry out, or want to carry out fieldwork in Gypsy/Roma settlements, especially in Eastern Slovakia. In the first part we present the reader with a history of the genealogical method since it was formally established by W.H. R. Rivers and its application in sociocultural anthropology. In the second part we focus on particularities of the applic…

Antropologie mezi pozitivismem a konstruktivismem aneb krátký diskurz na téma jedné věty Ivy Heroldové
Tento článek se zabývá otázkou původu zakladatelů obce Svatá Helena. V první části textu autor představuje Nešporovu hypotézu, podle níž zakladatelé této obce byli východočeští toleranční sektáři. Druhá část studie se zabývá rozpory mezi Nešporovou hypotézou o původu této skupiny a přesvědčením jejích členů, že jsou potomky exulantů, kteří odešli po bitvě na Bílé hoře. Bere v úvahu, že podle Nešporova přesvědčení jsou tyto domněnky mylné. Ze soci…
Romská“ kriminalita – specifika, příčiny, souvislosti
Vstupní otázkou textu je, existuje-li specificky romská kriminalita. Ve své studii, která je primárně odpovědí na uvedenou otázku, autor danou problematiku nahlíží programově v perspektivě sociálně-kulturní, kdy jako „Romy“ chápe nositele specifické (tj. romské) kultury a romskou kriminalitu pak následně jako specifickou součást této kultury, respektive jako výsledek kontaktu nositelů této kultury s kulturou majoritní (zde české) společnosti. V t…
