Sažetak
As the ethnographic representation of fear, death, symbolic resistance and strategies of keeping up the practices of everyday life in war entails not only epistemological, but also ethical and political issues, reactions to Croatian ethnographies (written by insider anthropologists and folklorists from 1991 to 1994) have often depended on the emotional and political positioning of readers. In this article, such reactions from Western European and American audiences are presented in order to show that in the complex web of personal, political and representational processes in scientific discourse, political judgements on the war in Croatia have so far been crucial.
