Ethnologia Europaea u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji: Branimir Bratanić (1910. – 1986.) i Vilko Novak (1909. – 2003.)

The author deals with a chapter from the histories of Croatian and Slovenian ethnology, particularly the period of the 1950s, when both national ethnological disciplines were engaged with the issue of the relationship between general and regional/national ethnology. As far as concerns this relationship, Branimir Bratanić and Vilko Novak, both university professors at that time, followed the contemporary line of discussions in European ethnology (EE). They presented the "novelties" and advocated the integration of specific national traditions in EE, adapting them by respecting disciplinary legacies and current state of the discipline in their home countries as well as their educational agendas and broader research practices. For this reason, this study also includes a comparative presentation of some disciplinary convergences and divergences right before this particular period: the links between Croatian and Slovenian ethnology that come to light when emphasising the conceptualization of the research field, institutional history, and contacts among researchers.Rad se bavi poglavljem iz povijesti hrvatske i slovenske etnologije, točnije razdobljem 1950ih godina, kada su se nacionalne etnologije dviju zemalja bavile odnosima između opće i regionalne/nacionalne etnologije. Što se tiče toga odnosa, Branimir Bratanić i Vilko Novak, obojica sveučilišni profesori, slijedili su suvremene ideje koje su bile dio tadašnjeg koncepta europske etnologije (EE). Zagovarali su \u27inovacije\u27 i spajanje specifičnih nacionalnih tradicija europske etnologije u svojim zemljama, koje su međusobno prilagođavali kroz poštivanje disciplinarnih nasljeđa i tadašnje situacije u etnologiji u svakoj zemlji, kao i poštivanje obrazovnih zahtjeva i širih istraživačkih praksi. Zbog tog razloga, članak uključuje i komparativnu analizu nekih disciplinarnih podudarnosti i nepodudarnosti koje su se dogodile u razdoblju koje je neposredno prethodilo 1950-ima: veza između hrvatske i slovenske etnologije koje su bile rezultatom konceptualizacije područja istraživanja, institucionalne povijesti i kontakata između istraživača

Этническое многообразие в социокультурной динамике: опыт России

The article discusses the integration-fragmenting role of ethnic diversity in the development of Russian society (the post-Soviet period). As a theoretical model for research we propose the wave model of a dynamic process that explains its development in the logic of the alternation of two phases of one cycle, which is started by the introduction and then is accompanied by the subsequent distribution of a socio-cultural innovation. The article concludes that the processes of ethnic convergence and segregation are part of social and cultural transformation of societyВ статье рассматривается интеграционно-фрагментирующая роль этнического многообразия в развитии российского общества (постсоветский период). В качестве теоретической модели исследования предложена волновая модель динамического процесса, объясняющая его развитие в логике чередования двух фаз одного цикла, который запускается внедрением и сопровождается последующим распространением социокультурных инноваций. В статье сделан вывод о том, что процессы этнического сближения и обособления являются составной частью социокультурной трансформации обществ

Who owns Siberian ethnography? A critical assessment of a re-internationalized field.

Although Siberian ethnography was an open and international field at the turn of the 20th century, from about 1930 until the late 1980s Siberia was for the most part closed to foreigners and therefore to Western ethnographers. This allowed Soviet ethnographers to establish a virtual monopoly on Siberian field sites. Soviet and Western anthropology developed during that period in relative isolation from one another, allowing methodologies and theoretical approaches to diverge. During glasnost’ and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Siberian field was reopened and field studies were conducted by several Western ethnographers. The resulting encounter between Western and former Soviet ethnographers in the 1980s and 1990s produced a degree of cultural shock as well new challenges and opportunities on both sides. This is an experiential account of the mood of these newly reunited colleagues at the turn of the 21st century
