The projects realized by the Institute center around the study of both historical and contemporary social processes and phenomena dealing with different types of individual and collective identity strategies. Short Description of the Organization / Department Researchers employed by the Institute of Ethnography are focused on the research of traditional and modern patterns and values within the national culture (material, social and spiritual), and establishing regularities within the processes of cultural change caused by local and global transformations and social, economic and political flows. The research strategies utilized by the Institute of Ethnography entail the continuing modernization and improvement of research methods and theories, as well as work on regional, thematic and general ethnological/anthropological themes and issues. The Institute of Ethnography of the SASA has compiled and published a large body of ethnographic data and organized numerous scientific conferences.

Rich research experience in field work and in the sphere of Death Studies Short Description of the Project idea (if foreseeable) Related Call Contact Person Position in the Organization Tel Email Are young men in Serbia ready for warfare? - Patriotism, traditional values and “real life” in identity praxes of Serbian youthMedia images that we receive on daily bases suggest that globe looks like powder keg ready to explode. People who have directly or indirectly faced war, can imagine and are probably thinking of how possible large-scale conflict would look like. People in Balkans probably hope that main reservoir and battle field is not going to be in the region again. I am particularly interested to research if and how young people (16-25) in Serbia think about war – be it of local or global nature. We know that these generations even did not play war games, except those in virtual world and that for them, the most horrible disaster would be collapse of electric power supply. On the other hand, from the side of political elites, appeared initiative for reestablishing obligatory military service. Public discourses on this matter manipulate with historical heritage and traditional identity praxes. One should accept to be solder and to serve fatherland having on mind glorious traditions of Serbian Army in Balkan, First and Second World Wars and because being a warrior, solder and defender of country is important part of male identity. My research would try discover what young people, primarily young men, think about these traditions, about war, about current geo-political situation on Balkans and in the world, what influences their perception of identity, to which tradition, if any, they refer when we talk about gender roles…would they go to war?
