Tomas Kun kao „intelektualni selebriti“, Struktura naučnih revolucijakao kulturni artefakt
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) has gained the status of bestseller and has become the most widely cited book in the social sciences and the humanities, while its author, Thomas Kuhn, has become a distinctive „intellectual celebrity“. Kuhn’s Structure, more than 60 years since its first publication, continues to be widely interpreted, cited and paraphrased. Once released into circulation, however, Kuhn’s theses have gained the dyna…
Antiantipositivism
Anthropology was quite loud in proclaiming its own epistemological hypochondria. In this paper, we propose an unconventional methodological bricolage of philosophy of science, contextualistic anthropology and structural-semiological analysisderived from Serbian anthropology in order to address the question of epistemic justification that underlies every attempt to justify knowledge claims. The internalism-externalism conflict in the philosophy of…
A Critical Overview of Basic Theoretical Perspectives on Some Historical Examples of Conspiracy Theories
The paper is an attempt to summarize and critically assess the main threads of research on conspiracy theories. The first part of the paper offers an analysis of theoretical frameworks developed within philosophy, political theory, sociology, the theory of history, anthropology and cultural studies. The main approaches to conspiracy theories are discussed through the lens of the anthropology of knowledge. The second part of the paper presents som…
"In Bitcoin We Trust"
The aim of this paper is to contextualize briefly the emergence and development of Bitcoin as well as to offer an anthropological analysis of one such "algorithmic utopia" known as Bitcoin. Bitcoin was officially "born" in 2009. Its foundation was laid by the so-called white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" (2008), authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym for an individual or a group of individuals. In essence, the i…
"A Raindrop in the Ocean for a Kafana in the Balkans"
This paper is part of ongoing research conducted by the authors which aims to map the turbotronic scene and provide an answer to the question of what music can reveal about the broader dynamic of sociocultural life in contemporary Serbia. The paper follows the paths of the anthropology of music, already well established in Serbian anthropology. It focuses on the seemingly banal, everyday discursive practices of ordinary people, situates them in a…
The Explanatory Power of the Concept of Embodiment in Anthropology
As part of the author's cumulative research on the types of explanation, the structure of explanation and the explanatory capacity of key concepts in sociocultural anthropology, this paper looks at the concept of embodiment. The relevance of reappraising the explanatory power of this concept is manifold, above all on the interpretive, conceptual and paradigmatic level. Research suggests that the concept of embodiment – although very popular, comm…
Of men and beasts
Following the path established in Serbian anthropology by the subdiscipline of the anthropology of film, as well as the anthropological "section" for the study of science fiction, the analytical focus of this paper is the film Men and Chicken. Contrary to critics who saw in this film "an unreadable, morbid and cynical postmodern horror", the basic thesis of this paper is that the film helps us not only to question public ideas about science, but …
We All Carry Inside Us Many Identities, a Multitude of These Selves of Ours”
This paper offers an anthropological analysis of Bekim Sejranović’s last novel, The Diary of a Nomad, approaching it as the ethnography of the novelist’s own migrant experience. The goal of the paper is, on the one hand, to answer the question how, in the process of constant movement between cultural boundaries, the identity of the author himself is being constructed and reconstructed, and how it is being shaped through the very process of writin…
The Concept of Culture between Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment
The paper seeks to show that criticisms directed at the expense of the concept of culture from the sixties, and especially the eighties of the twentieth century, only but re-actualized the dispute present in the discipline at least from the end of the second decade of the twentieth century between two sides. On the one hand, we have those anthropologists who perceived culture as (a) homogeneous, static, closed, holistic, sui generis system that, …
Turbotronik – On the Border between the Local Music Scene and a Genre in the Making
This paper shows preliminary results from an ethnographic study of the modern musical phenomena that gathers “authors from the Serbian scene”, who’s creations are based on the mixture of the newly composed folk music and turbo-folk, along with various alternative music genres and styles. The research is conducted through the technique of semi-structured interviews with the artists and event organizers, as well as attending different events (conce…
Turbo-folk Rocks!”
The subject of this paper is the ethnographic mapping of the origins of the new alternative scene, based on turbo-folk. Mainly located in Belgrade, this alternative scene has been swindling, over the last couple of years, as the circle of artists (Mangulica FM, Lenhart Tapes, Mega Denke, Gianni Druid, Bombe Devedesetih and others), who freely combine turbo-folk genre with other music forms (electronic music, rap and others) to fulfill modern audi…
Methodological individualism as opposed to methodological holism. History, relevancy and the implications of the (insoluble?) debate on the explanatory capacity and scientific status of sociocultural …
The paper is part of wider research into the status of explanation in the debate on the scientific status of anthropology – wherein one of the key assumptions is that there is a strong correlation between theoretical and methodological structures which would make them inseparable, and that explanation or explanatory potential, is the point of convergence which can be used to test for the possibility of separating theoretical and methodological st…
Ufology
The paper indentifies pop-cultural precursors to contemporary ufology, an unusual amalgamation of beliefs, conceptions and ideas, based on ontologically officially inexistent phenomena. The focus of the paper is on the socio-cultural context which enabled the constitution and/or transformation of the contingent semantic matrix which would interpret “strange phenomena in the sky” as alien aircraft. By contextualizing ufology within the framework o…
New and Alternative Religions in Serbia – About the Study and the People Being Studied
The paper represents the first results of research conducted within the Urban and cultural identity and religiosity in contemporary context and surroundings project. This paper is the first part of the study, and special attention will be given to results of previous research and the extent to which new and alternative religions have previously been studied in Serbia. The methods, approaches, themes and attempts at defining the concept and classi…
