Haški sud i antropološka ekspertiza: Jedna tužna priča o folkloru
The Hague Tribunal and Anthropological Expertise: A Sad Story about Folklore

Summary/Abstract: Using a particular example of an anthropological expertise stated at one of the trials at the Hague Tribunal, the author contemplates first of all the merit and the course of the expertise itself, and then the problems connected with the transmission of the insights gathered through anthropological research in a small locality (somewhat similar, yet different in some of its features) etc. Besides, the author shows how the anthropological expertise is understood, "remodeled" and used by the Tribunal itself. Finally, she deals with the relation of anthropology and the meaning and the importance of folklore. In the final part of the text, the author considers a possible integration of folklore theories into anthropology, as a challenge for contemporary research anthropologists, who often wrongfully neglect folklore and its importance in certain layers of the society.
