Why the World Needs Anthropologists
Parole, parole”
This article examines the narrative framework in European Union (EU) research and innovation projects, focusing on symbolic practices and terminology. The analysis includes over five years of ethnographic research, and 20 European projects funded by Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and Erasmus+ programs. It explores different ways project actors internalize and reproduce the EU's symbolic power through its policies, particularly the ambiguous concep…
Container life in post-earthquake Croatia
This article focuses on experiences of people in the Banija region and specifically the town of Petrinja, Croatia, after an earthquake hit the area in December 2020. It presents their reflections on being confined to "container homes" in three different situations: living in container settlements on the outskirts of town; spending time in a container shopping center; and finding shelter in containers adjacent to destroyed houses. The study shows …
The Power of Isolation
This article investigates isolation as a complex physical and symbolic phenomenon. The studies presented in the article and in this special issue explore how isolation impacts identities, social cohesion, and community life - especially in times of ongoing and interconnected crises. The authors examine the multifaceted nature of isolation that informs daily practices, emotional wellbeing, and community bonds, offering insights into the challenges…
Ethnography beyond thick data
This article presents opportunities for enriching anthropological knowledge and methods with machine learning and data analysis. Different examples show how quantitative methods empower anthropologists and how computational methods supplement ethnography, from sensor data and interview transcripts to designing technology solutions and automatically labeling cultural heritage. Conversely, the authors discuss the benefits of qualitative approaches …
Renewal of Ethnography in the Time of the Covid-19 Crisis
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis of anthropological research has occurred that requires both methodological and epistemological considerations. The basic tool of anthropology is field research based on participant observation in situ and in close contact with people. However, during the pandemic, it has become almost impossible to conduct research in this way, as distancing and self-isolation are required. During the crisis, anthropologists…
From Classroom to Industry
This article examines an innovative approach to teaching and learning anthropology, developed within an EU Erasmus+ project PEOPLE. Learning Cycles address the mismatch between skills gained by students and the ones expected by employers in industry. It elaborates on the example of university-industry cooperation established in Slovenia, in which students of anthropology and other related disciplines worked on a real-life case study, gaining indu…
Antropologija med štirimi stenami
What happens when an anthropologist is stuck between four walls? Who should he research in solitude? The book describes the dilemma of a "professional voyeur" who began to observe himself and his relatives during the pandemic and published his recordings on the internet. This created a strange dialogue between the showman turned observer and the society that followed and commented on his strange habits: from disinfecting purchased food and shower…
The Invisible Life of Food Waste
In recent years, food waste has become an important issue that attracts attention from scientists, consumers, and activists. According to the World Bank, one third of food produced for human consumption is wasted. In Slovenia, almost 131,800 tons of food waste were generated in 2017, or 64 kg per person on average. This article presents the findings of a study on household food waste in Slovenia and, more specifically, its capital, Ljubljana. The…
Transforming Sustainability in the Time of Pandemic
The central message of this journal issue is that the social science and humanities in collaboration with other fields of science should put more attention to redefining sustainability as a concept which has been used and abused from its inception and has meanwhile lost a part of significance. The covid-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to carry out the transformation, to re-think the basic concepts of sustainability and to adapt them to the ne…
Making a Change From Below
The authors look into two environmental movements that arose from grassroots initiatives. The first is Ecologists without Borders, the leading NGO promoting waste reduction in Slovenia. The second is Critical Mass, an international cyclists’ movement that seeks more public space for urban cyclists, which the authors studied in Belgrade and Budapest. Ethnographic analysis indicates that the two movements have had certain common experiences. The au…
Why the World Needs Anthropologists
Why does the world need anthropology and anthropologists? This collection of essays written by prominent academic, practising and applied anthropologists aims to answer this provocative question. In an accessible and appealing style, each author in this volume inquires about the social value and practical application of the discipline of anthropology. Contributors note that the problems the world faces at a global scale are both new and old, uniq…
Videni
The book ('Seen: Why We Like Watching Others and Being Watched in Return') looks at the all-seeing eyes that observe us from computers, smartphones, tablets and other devices. It reveals what online search engines know about us and how we can become more visible by sharing contemporary auto-portraits – selfies. The book shines a spotlight on the “show masters”, from celebrities to politicians, who depend on their visibility and public appearances…
Data Mining Workspace Sensors
While social sciences and humanities are increasingly including computational methods in their research, anthropology seems to be lagging behind. But it does not have to be so. Anthropology is able to merge quantitative and qualitative methods successfully, especially when traversing between the two. In the following contribution, we propose a new methodological approach and describe how to engage quantitative methods and data analysis to support…
Anthropological perspectives of solidarity and reciprocity
The concept of solidarity is ambiguous: it includes mechanisms of taxes and redistribution, charity, altruistic contributions and political support, social policy, concessions, grants, funds, food, clothes, social entrepreneurship, sponsorship, NGOS, etc. Communitarianism, equality and progress are their ideological pillars. Solidarity in mass culture is a form of ideational and tangible redistribution. Sociology based on the Marxist tradition ha…

“We Don’t Need Another Hero!” the Importance of Celebrities in the Post-truth Era
The article presents and compares the rise of two self-made politicians, Donald Trump in the US and Ivan Kramberger of Slovenia. Their presidential candidacies were based of their fame and fortune, rather than on the basis of their political experience. The author notes that the self-promotion strategies, utilised by Trump and Kramberger, are not used only politicians, but also by other outstanding individuals who take care of their own popularit…
Anthropologists Solving Burning Issues of Our Hot Planet
Applied Anthropology in Europe
A bstract The article presents the state of applied anthropology in Europe, in particular focusing on the application of anthropological knowledge and skills within the private sector. Firstly, the text depicts the historical context, which has had a strong and often negative impact on the developments in contemporary applied anthropology and specifically on applying anthropology in for-profit endeavours. It then provides an overview of this type…
Development of Business Anthropology in Slovenia and Abroad. Problems and Perspectives
Prispevek predstavi razvoj poslovne antropologije od tridesetih let prejšnjega stoletja do danes. Avtorja najprej podvomita o položaju te vede v znanosti in poslovnem svetu ter izpostavita glavne dogodke, ki so jo zaznamovali in soustvarili. Poleg tega opišeta prednosti in slabosti uporabe antropoloških metod v poslovnem svetu ter predstavita ovire (in priložnosti) za počasnejši razvoj poslovne antropologije pri nas. *** This article presents the…
Deconstructing divisions
Drawing on Gregory Bateson's theory of cultural schismogenesis, the authors analyse such processes within two organizations: the Birdwatching and Bird Study Association of Slovenia and VU University Amsterdam. Both cases illustrate internal cultural divisions typical for non-profit organizations whose goals go beyond optimizing financial profits and can thus be interpreted in various, sometimes conflicting, ways. The article demonstrates how orga…
Expulsion of the Anthropological Demons from the Ivory Tower
Crossroads of Anger Tensions and Conflicts in Traffic
This article focuses on drivers involved in various modes of personal transport in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and describes their interactions and conflicts, often resulting in verbal or nonverbal expressions of anger. Using various approaches, ranging from semi-structured interviews to “participant driving,” it describes in great detail a small part of traffic infrastructure, that is, a crossroads in the city centre, which is a daily meeting point for…
In Search of Lost Volunteering
The different approaches presented in this thematic section of Traditiones help broaden the concept of volunteerism, but also establish and reinforce its importance, which enables us to expand the limits of the social world that we live in, and increase the cognitive range of people in communities that strive to understand why individuals, as well as organisations and informal communities at home and abroad, do something that seemingly does not b…
Being Seen, Being Good
The article discusses how supervision and observation encourage altruism and prosocial behavior. It focuses on several types of observation: surveillance, sousveillance, peerto-peer surveillance, and self-surveillance. These aspects are analyzed in more detail in a case study of various approaches to encouraging eco-driving. *** Prispevek ugotavlja, kako nadzorovanje in opazovanje spodbujata altruizem in prosocialno vedenje. Posveti se različnim …

What Comes Next in European Applied Anthropology
Applied Anthropology Network of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) started its activities in 2012 and has since then grown to 120 members. The newly established network has already tackled some of the crucial issues in Europe related to applied anthropology, and has so far identified at least three key challenges: (1) how to increase employability of applied anthropologists, (2) how to deconstruct stereotypes about their ac…

L'exposition des restes humains dans les musées slovènes
L'article interroge la façon dont le corps humain est exposé dans les musées. Il présente deux cas de restes mortels qui sont devenus en Slovénie des objets muséographiques : une lanière en peau et une tête réduite. Ce type d'objets est une attraction que le public recherche, si bien que les musées n'ont pas encore pris la décision de les retirer complètement des vitrines. En raison de leur authenticité, le corps humain et les parties corporelles…
Organization Crystal
V članku je predstavljena zgodba posameznika, ki je ob koncu 70. let 20. stoletja v Sloveniji s skupino navdušencev zasnoval ornitološko društvo. Avtor analizira njegove vodstvene lastnosti, predvsem pa karizmo, zaradi katere so ga drugi člani priznali za osrednjo avtoriteto in vodjo, čeprav formalno te funkcije v organizaciji ni nikoli prevzel. Društvo je dve desetletji ohranilo zasnovo, ki je sledila ustanoviteljevim temeljnim zamislim, šele po…

De l'observation à la protection des oiseaux
Les ornithologues amateurs sont connus, ou au moins stéréotypés, pour leur tendance à ' collectionner ' les observations d'oiseaux, et à les classer dans des catégories bien organisées - les groupes taxonomiques. Mais en est-il toujours vraiment ainsi ? Les membres de la plus grande association d'ornithologie slovène fournissent un exemple contraire. Ils ont commencé à regarder les oiseaux du point de vue de la conservation de la nature. Au nivea…
