New Serbian Anthropology - Foreword

Abstract

The "New Serbian anthropology" project has a dual purpose. One is to represent the development and constitution of Serbian anthropology, and the other is, through the choice of papers which represent it, to display it to a wider audience. The initiators of the project, prof. dr Ivan Kova!evi and his associates (Dragana Antonijević, Ana Banić, Marija Brujić, Ildiko Erdei, Ljiljana Gavrilović, Vladimira Ilić, Ljubica Milosavljević, Marija Ristivojević, Danijel Sinani, Mladen Stajić and Bojan Žikić), have envisioned two modes of presentation of new Serbian anthropology. The first type will be the editing of thematic volumes of articles published over the course of the last four decades and comprise the basis of the transformed discipline. These volumes will be presented electronically on the website www.anthroserbia.org. The other type will be the publishing of reviews which would give the wider reading public an insight into the development of certain subgenres of anthropology.With this in mind, Issues in Ethnology and Anthropology has created a special section titled "New Serbian Anthropology" in which, in the coming issues, such reviews will be published.
