The War and After. On War-Related Anthropological Research in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
U ratu i nakon rata: O antropološkim istraživanjima u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the themes and perspectives dealt with by the Croatian ethnologists and folklorists whose ethnographic texts vocalized experiences of victimization and resistance in 1991-92. It also presents some current projects concerning post-war Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The author claims that anthropologists are particularly well-equipped to critically explore situations in which people are dis-empowered and victimized. With regard to post-war recovery processes, ethnographies based on long-term fieldwork are the best way of recognizing people's needs and concerns, and thus providing the knowledge needed to support the potential changes coming from within the researched groups and societies.
