Summary/Abstract: Ethnology in Serbia in the socialist era was reviewed through (re)interpretation of marked concepts, strategies and paradigms that had shaped the specific scientific policies. The object of this paper is to break down the historization of ethnology into specific problem units that had taken place through the processes of normativization, institutionalization and conceptualization of ethnology. The ethnological policies are analyzed on the example of the Institute of Ethnography of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA) over the period 1947 – 1980. The establishing of the Institute, operation, realization of its tasks and objectives, as well as research and publi - shing production indicate the stratification and ambivalence of the phases of scientific policies.
