Przydatność kategorii „postsocjalizmu” w badaniach antropologicznych w byłej Jugosławii AB - Post-what? The Category of "postsocjalism" and Its Usefulness in Anthropological Research in the Former Yugoslavia The aim of this paper is a look into a notion of “ostsocialism” in the context of anthropological research in former Yugoslavia. After a short overview of the definitions of postsocialism, I argue, that this concept is defined too broadly in order to capture complexity of social and cultural life in various post-socialist or post-communist states. In the case of former Yugoslavia I suggest using the term “post-Yugoslav” in order to show a specifics of life in socialist Yugoslavia and in the republics emerged after its collapse. My arguments base on the data collected during ethnographic fieldwork in the Republic of Macedonia.  VL - 2017 IS - Tom 45, Numer 4 PY - 2018 SN - 0083-4327 C1 - 2299-9558 SP - 393 EP - 402 DO - 10.4467/22999558.PE.17.019.8678 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/prace-etnograficzne/artykul/post-co-przydatnosc-kategorii-postsocjalizmu-w-badaniach-antropologicznych-w-bylej-jugoslawii KW - postsocialism KW - former Yugoslavia KW - Macedonia KW - East and West KW - Europe
