Macedonian Ethnology and Anthropology of Women a Self Critical Reexamination of Conceptual Contradictions
This paper provides an overview of scholarly research that may be situated within the field of the ethnology and anthropology of women in the Macedonian context. It examines the analytical approaches adopted by several authors—including the present author—who, in their studies of women’s status within traditional communities, have employed the conceptual framework of the “imagined” and the “real” order as a heuristic model for interpreting gender…

The Аттitude of the Macedonian Academic Community Towards the “Torbeshi”
The title is inspired by the article of Lisa M. Tillman Healy, "Friendship as Method" (Tillmann-Healy, 2003), in which she advocates the ethics of friendship in her research.

Struggles to Overcome Ethnocentrism of Ethnology and Anthropology Students
The turbulent political developments in Macedonia in recent years have legitimised the paradox of the ethnocentric ethnologist or anthropologist, especially during the period of the right-wing government. This phenomenon has its own history, considering the existence of the concept of national scientific disciplines, whose aim is to cherish, strengthen and often (re)create national identity. This is usually the impression of the public about the …
