Antropologija savremenosti ili antropologija kao savremenost: Antropologija između prezentizma i temporalizma

Abstract

This is a collection of papers presented at the conference "Anthropology of Contemporaneity", that was held on November 25, 2006 at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. The organizer of the conference was the Department of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. The main reason for this conference was to mark the 125th anniversary of introduction of ethnology to higher education in Serbia, and the centennial since the foundation of Ethnological seminar at the Faculty of Philosophy. The introductory text explains and analyses the title and occasion of the conference, presenting them through the problem of relation between presentist and temporalist orientations, or the (a)historicity of anthropological research. The position of ethnologists, and anthropologists, in this context is analyzed through the syndrome of the "double insider".
