Utopias, Realities, Heritages: Ethnology and Folklore Studies between the Past, Present, and Future
Utopias, Realities, Heritages: Ethnology and Folklore Studies between the Past, Present, and Future

Summary/Abstract: This special issue of Narodna umjetnost is the result of a partnership be- tween the Croatian Journal of Ethnology and Folklore Research and SIEF, the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore. It continues the suc- cessful cooperation that produced the international SIEF congress in 2015, co-hosted by the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Zagreb and the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research (which publishes this journal). The seven articles in this issue have been developed from papers presented at the congress in Zagreb, which brought together nearly one thousand scholars from across Europe and beyond for roughly 800 presentations. The authors represent the SIEF fields, ethnology and folklore, and they range from senior, established scholars to junior, up- and-coming researchers from the south, north, east, and west of Europe, as well as North America. Their contributions to this issue are not representa- tive, of course, of the wide range of topics and approaches at the congress itself, but taken together we might say that they offer a partial glimpse of the SIEF fields at the current moment in time.
