Ethnographic Film in Slovenia and Serbia: Outline of Project Results

Abstract

V času Socialistične federativne republike Jugoslavije so bila med njenimi nacionalnimi etnologijami v navadi redna srečevanja in razprave. Ko so bili tovrstni stiki zaradi razpada države prekinjeni, je bilo prekinjeno tudi medsebojno informiranje o stanju na področju etnografskega filma. Medtem je prišlo do hitrega razvoja in velikih sprememb v etnografskem filmu in vizualni antropologiji v celoti. Zato se avtor članka v sklepu osredinja predvsem na premislek o oblikah sodobne vizualne etnografije, ki še najbolj ustreza znanstveno raziskovalnim praksam obeh etnoloških inštitutov (pri ZRC SAZU v Ljubljani in SANU v Beogradu), in o ustreznem izobraževanju za to področje.

Within Yugoslavia, regular conferences and discussions used to take place between ethnologists working in the various Yugoslav republics. When Yugoslavia collapsed and these contacts were interrupted, information about developments in ethnographic film also stopped being exchanged. Meanwhile, rapid development and great changes took place in ethnographic film and visual anthropology as a whole. This article therefore primarily focuses on the reflection of forms of contemporary visual ethnography, which largely corresponds with the research practices of the ethnology institutions in Ljubljana and Belgrade (ZRC SAZU and SANU, respectively), and suitable education in ethnology.
