Reconstruction of Social Ties for Refugee Women
Previous research shows the importance of building up self-help structures in a transnational perspective for the inclusion of migrant women who are fleeing their home countries because of war, violence, or different forms of vulnerability. The mobilization of self- help organizations through the intersection of transnationalism and gender is a useful practice-oriented pedagogy directed both towards the most vulnerable groups of women, or those a…

Imaginary Historical Pattern of Family and a Model for Construction of Political and Social Organizations—Extended Family (Zadruga) in Bulgaria
The notion of “zadruga” (named by Vuk Karadjić in 1818) was introduced in the scientific research literature, as well as in the social and political discourse, of the then young Balkan countries in the 19th century to mark the multitude of historical forms under which the “complex family organization” was known among the South-Slavic people in the region. The young Bulgarian science adopted this term in ethnographic studies of the late 19th and e…
La famille élargie (zadruga) forme historique et modèle imaginaire de l’organisation sociale en Bulgarie
C’est au xixe siècle que la notion de zadruga a été introduite dans la littérature scientifique et les doctrines sociales et politiques des pays balkaniques. Le terme recouvre en fait les nombreuses formes historiques qu’y a empruntées l’organisation domestique en foyers complexes. Cet article poursuit les questionnements de la démographie historique et de l'anthropologie concernant ce « modèle de famille balkanique » qui se sont fait jour au cou…
Bulgarian Ritual Kinship (Kumstvo)
Among the Orthodox Christians on the Balkans, the rituals of Christian baptism and marriage traditionally give rise to ritual kinship relationships, not only among individuals but also among family groups that were until then unrelated. Only among Bulgarians, Serbians, and Macedonians, these relationships are carried on hereditarily and are constructed according to the patrilineal kinship model. The godfather’s role ( kumstvo) is inherited as sym…
Sacred Geography of the Post-Socialist Balkans
This introductory text aims at presenting the dynamics in the development of religious life in the post-socialist Balkans and the trends in its research from the perspective of the humanities and social sciences. The topic has geographical as well as political and temporal limitations. The transformations in the political, economic, social and cultural development of the former socialist countries have been taking place hand in hand with signific…
Serbowie
In the article are presented the ambiguous attitudes of Bulgarian intellectuals, writers, historians and scholars in the modern age – after the formation of the contemporary Bulgarian state in the second half of the 19th century. Fluctuations between Serbophobia and Serbophilia, oftenfollowing the twists of Slavophilic politics on the Balkans, vary between complete disregard and unreserved sympathy. Different periods of warm political relations a…
The Balkan gurbet/pecalbarstvo - past and present
The article presents an observation on the various traditional forms of cross-border seasonal labour mobility on the Balkans, both as agricultural works away from the home place, and as large-scale temporary craftsmen’s migrations of builders, bakers, dairy workers, confectioners and so on. In countries like Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia, traditional cultural models of trans-border labour mobility that encompasses the majority o…

This article deals with family ideology and family ritual processes in the Central part of the Balkans, in the mountainous part of the Bulgarian–Serbian border areas, during the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Celebration rituals, dedicated to the patron saints of family-kin households (Serbian slava and Bulgarian sluzhba), have been described as an “ideology of patriarchalism” in ethnological and historical literat…
