Women and Cultural Ghetto
This paper explores the status of women- refugees belonging to families who immigrated to Vojvodina from Croatia. We discuss the influence of these women in preserving their cultural model and the possible distance in relation to the native population in Vojvodina. Although both the natives and the newcomers belong to the Serbian majority, there are considerable cultural differences among them. For instance, the women from immigrant families have…
Sjenica cheese as immaterial cultural heritage. An anthropological approach to the issue
The paper deals with traditional technologies as immaterial cultural heritage and offers an ethnography which is the result of fieldwork conducted as part of the project of preparing documentation to list the technology of cheese manufacturing in the Sjenica region on the National list of immaterial cultural heritage. As part of this, the traditional technology of manufacture of Sjenica cheese has been considered, as well as the attempts by local…
Anthropological reading of science fiction
The paper gives an overview of the prevalence of the analysis of science fiction literature and science fiction in other segments of popular culture in Serbian anthropology. This overview is preceded by a consideration of science fiction as a genre while keeping in mind the fluidity of the genre and the interweaving of subgenres as well as the transformations which science fiction is undergoing in certain media (books, films, TV shows and video g…
The possibility of the third
The paper considers the basic concepts of perceiving the city, first and foremost its polarization against the country or the village and (much later) polarization between the old "solidary" and contemporary anomic cities. Aside from this, the paper considers the basic premises and practice of the application of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which are mostly based on safeguarding/protecting premodern cultura…
Knowledge Yearning for Freedom
The paper is concerned with the restriction of access to knowledge/books in the contemporary digitalized global world, in which the access to knowledge has to be paid for, and wherein definitions of modes of payment control who has or doesn’t have the right to knowledge. The second part of the article deals with the struggle for the freedom of words/knowledge, and actions through which the authors/producers of knowledge and art fight the restrict…
Young Adult Dystopias
The paper examines young adult dystopian novels written in the first decade of the 21st century, as heirs to the tradition of the bildungsroman, and the great dystopias. The focus of this new genre has shifted from maintaining “the best of all worlds” – where the young person adjusts and fits into the existing world, to the shaping of the hero’s critical spirit which is supposed to result in the hero/heroine growing up, but also in changes in the…
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This paper discusses the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, more specifically, its enormous popularity in the United States, Western Europe and Australia, and the absence of any reaction to the series in Serbia. By comparing themes regarded as important in western societies to the current situation in Serbia, the analysis shows that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a series that could not have gained popularity in Serbia because it uses the l…
The Search for Distinctiveness
The paper discusses the role of anthropology in the protection of intangible heritage, which significantly pre-dates the bureaucratic concept defined by UNESCO’s 2003 Convention, and takes a look at the various dilemmas arising from the Convention’s practical implementation. It looks at social practices that cannot be protected because they clash with the concept of human rights protection, or with contemporary positive legislation; at the exotic…
Nomen Est Omen
This paper looks at the use of the Serbian terms "kulturna baština" and "kulturno nasleđe" (both of which are translated as "cultural heritage") to refer to elements of culture preserved from the past and considered valuable enough to be preserved as part of the musealization of reality in its various forms. It offers an analysis of how, through the (re)introduction of the old/new term baština, patriarchy and essentialism – two elements of non-ma…
Cultural Heritage Abroad
The paper considers the concept of the conservation of cultural heritage that "belongs" or is ascribed to the state, and is located beyond its borders, that is, the manner in which the concepts of culture and heritage are constructed, and the (possible) conservation mechanisms that derive from differently defined frameworks of cultural heritage. It examines aspects of the concept of cultural diversity and heritage conservation that are at first g…
Levi-Strauss
This paper discusses Levi-Strauss engagement in UNESCO activities. On the one hand, Levi-Strauss engagement in Pakistan had an important impact on his later work, as well as on his overall view about the world and culture(s); while on the other, Levi-Strauss’s definitions of the relationship between race/nation and culture had an important influence on the ways in which UNESCO dealt with the ideas about culture and on the ways these ideas were im…
Redness in the eyes of the dark Lord
This paper discusses continuous influence of the Romanticism' ideas all until the present time. The ideas about the golden age in the past, on an ideal society based on class, gender, and generational hierarchy were dominant in the children' education until the second part of the 20th century. This was influenced, in turn, by fairy tales created in the 19th century, which are taken even today, to be the most appropriate children' literature. The …
The guide from Omelas
Literary piece by Ursula Le Guin, a science fiction author, is linked with theoretical, as well as practical anthropology, in several ways. Her life, education, prose production and reception of her work create a whole, which is in many ways related with anthropology on the one, and the changes in the modern world on the other. Her work has, owing to its great popularity, contributed to a great extent to the adoption of some primarily anthropolog…
Tristes Tropiques
This paper discusses an application of new readings of classical anthropological texts, using as an example the Levi-Strauss' book Tristes Tropiques and the book's impact, reception and application in the local (Serbian) anthropological practice. The messages of the classical works even they are published half a century ago, could still be considered significant especially so for the local anthropological practice. Tristes Tropiques were publishe…
Museums and geographies of (national) power
The paper raises a discussion about the relation of museums and (national) politics, primarily about the concept of 'apolitcism' of museum work, the idea that is spread among many museum workers as reality. I analyze the process of appearing of big museums in Europe and Serbia, as well as the aims of their work, in order to show that museums - from the very beginning of their appearing - function as means for consolidating national borders (outer…
Stories about the truth and tolerance
This work discusses creationism as a new form of religious fundamentalism, which is attacking not only modern science but also the foundations of secularism in Europe, America and almost the whole world, as well as how creationism is using the mechanisms of secular society/state, first of all museums and science in order to strengthen its influence. At the same time a question is posed how much literally understood principles of general tolerance…
Museology in a Vacuum
In this paper, I look at the absence of theoretical framework as the cause of museology's (comparative) underdevelopment. It is also the cause of degradation of museums; unlike their conterparts in the world, museums in Serbia have remained isolated from the local/regional communities, failing to offer programs that might be actively integrated into people's lives. Conditions for a more significant activation of museums in their local communities…
"Da Vinci code"
The second half of the 20th century, especially the last thirty or so years witnessed an increase in interest related to subjects dealing with the roots of Christianity, which came about as a consequence of the general identity crisis of the contemporary world. Dan Brown’s novel "Da Vinci Code" published in the USA in 2003, and in 2004 in Serbia, has achieved worldly success in sales has become very popular literature among other works that deal …
An individual and his family
The paper discuses the relationship between an ideal and real model of a family organization in patriarchal communities, the position of an individual within his family structure, and possibilities of creation and realization of an individual identity. The main assumption is that the creation of an individual identity within patriarchal relationships is encouraged only in stable socio-economic conditions, while crisis situations bring about the r…
The ethnography of virtual reality
This paper discusses possible application of ethnographic research in the realm of virtual reality, especially in the relationship between cultures in virtual communities. This represents an entirely new area of ethnographic research and therefore many adjustments in the research design are needed for example, a development of a specific method of data gathering and tools for their verification. A virtual, cyber space is a version of social space…
