Serbian women’s views on skin, skincare, and positive ageing during menopause: A qualitative study
Women in perimenopause and postmenopause navigate a complex landscape of skincare products and skincare amid societal pressures to maintain a youthful appearance. The research on how women in perimenopause and postmenopause experience facial skin ageing, skincare, and use of skincare products in middle-income countries is limited. This exploratory qualitative study aims to understand how Serbian women during perimenopause and postmenopause percei…
A puzzle about knowledge ascriptions
Philosophers have argued that stakes affect knowledge: a given amount of evidence may suffice for knowledge if the stakes are low, but not if the stakes are high. By contrast, empirical work on the influence of stakes on ordinary knowledge ascriptions has been divided along methodological lines: “evidence‐fixed” prompts rarely find stakes effects, while “evidence‐seeking” prompts consistently find them. We present a cross‐cultural study using bot…
Elder Care in Serbia During the Covid-19 Pandemic: What Happens When Closeness Becomes an Impediment to Care
This study aims to investigate the profound impacts of the pandemic on elder care in Serbia. Specifically, it seeks to understand the adjustments made in care practices when physical proximity impedes care. The research employs a qualitative, ethnographic approach to analyzing data from 40 interviews conducted with elder care providers and recipients between April and September 2022 as well as ethnographic observations and unstructured interviews…
Crowdfunding for health care expenses: Concerns and implications
The emergence of crowdfunding as a means to gather financial support for medical expenses has become a global phenomenon. As the prevalence of medical crowdfunding increases within regional contexts, including in Serbia, this article aims to offer a framework for understanding this phenomenon and its ramifications. Drawing upon a review of literature and research mostly pertaining to Anglo-Saxon crowdfunding practices, we contend that the prolife…
Informality: Beyond Blurring the Lines between Favors and Clientelism in Eastern Europe
In the intricate web of Eastern European societies, the lines between favors and clientelism often blur, creating a complex landscape of informality. Anthropologists examine how these personal exchanges shape social structures and relationships, revealing a world where personal connections and informal contacts frequently bypass formal procedures. Informality broadly encompasses the invisible and unwritten rules of “getting things done through pe…
Barriers and trust: Perceptions of the healthcare system among Roma mothers in Serbia
This research aims to deepen the understanding of the barriers and challenges faced by Roma parents, particularly mothers, in accessing pediatric services in Serbia. The study found that distrust in the healthcare system, alongside cultural norms favoring traditional knowledge over medical advice, are key factors influencing Roma mothers? healthcare decisions for their children. While pediatric services are generally perceived positively, signifi…
Care in the Anthropocene: Acting with compassion
The Anthropocene refers to the geological era in which man - anthropos - has become a geophysical force transforming the biosphere. This period is marked by a lack of compassion and understanding of our environments - a total detachment from our biospheric reality. If care is everything we do to repair and maintain this world, what does this process entail in the Anthropocene? This paper addresses the importance of taking care seriously. We look …
Somebodies or nobody’s patient: The importance of social positioning and informal relations during childbirth in Serbia
Anthropological research on post-socialism points to the need for informal relations when navigating social and health care systems, while feminist research on childbirth points out the negative consequences of the dominant medicalized model of childbirth on women?s experience. This paper combines these two types of research and points to the role of informal relations in negotiating childbirth in Serbia and the role of peoples social positioning…
Not-So-Informal Relationships. Selective Unbundling of Maternal Care and the Reconfigurations of Patient-Provider Relations in Serbia
Social practices, such as connections (veze) and gift giving, are often labelled as socialist legacies that lead to corruption and are contrary to the establishment of market practices in postsocialist societies. This paper investigates the effects of the selective opening of aspects of maternal care to market practices on patient-provider relationships. Ethnographic research indicates that doctors are navigating between the constraints and oppor…
