Post-co? Przydatność kategorii „postsocjalizmu” w badaniach antropologicznych w byłej Jugosławii

Abstract

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.
