"To be here - To publish there" - On the Position of a Small European Ethnology
The article considers the problem of the position of Croatian ethnology as part of the offer of modern anthropological thought. Decentralisation of interpretative power and the dialogue of domestic ethnologies offered by postmodern anthropology, point the way to specific comment on the position of a science with peripheral status. Mention is made of only certain key points of the postmodernistic scheme, which, because of the essentially different history of anthropology as a global science, and ethnology as a national one, are subject to authochthonisation. Primarily, critical potential is in question, particularly that deriving from the anthropological taking of measure of the problem of the Other in ethnologies which experience their subject as their own culture. Paraphrasing Geertz's well-known sintagm to be there - to write here which denotes the ambiguous position of the "exotic" anthropologist - which postmodern anthropology brought the "domestic subject", the matters of one's own culture and one's own discourse - here the problem of the position of old domestic ethnographers is assessed, along with the problem of the internationalisation of small disciplines as " to be here - to publish there".
