Ethnology, Anthropologies

Summary/Abstract: The idea of a crisis of ethnology, present in recent Croatian scientific papers as well as in common parlance, should be viewed and dealt with on two levels. First is general, that of ethnology as a scientific discipline and its own epistemological dynamics (reconsideration of its methodology, redefinition of key terms). Second should be more specifically Croatian, in the perspective of coexistence of different approaches to the research of cultural phenomena. In that process tendencies appeared that try to step out of the frame of traditional ethnological approaches, and establish the link to the modem anthropological grounds. In the present situation three possible steps are considered. First, to conceptualize the research of cultural phenomena in such a way as to encompass all current ethnological as well as socio-cultural approaches. Second, to establish this concept under the name of cultural anthropology as a common denominator. Third, to institutionalize this at the University level.
