Bosnia and Herzegovina’s context for researching cultural opportunities
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s context for researching cultural opportunities

Summary/Abstract: When discussing the character and position of a specific society, it is necessary to explore its cultural context, which consists of elements that when examined, can help explain in a deeper way how members of that society understand their roles and positions. In the context of the various modern global crises, the crisis of culture should be discussed as a repressed matrix that reflects the deep causes of the overall crisis in the world. The question to be asked before the specific analysis of the Bosnian context for cultural research is: whether the concept of culture in the postmodern world corresponds with the theoretical determined essential determinants of the term ‘culture’, which may have plural forms but retains the basic meaning: conceptualization of human lifestyle, humanization and emancipation of human existence. The other question that needs to be addressed is how understand how constant and rapid global changes are reflected in Bosnian society, from the aspect of culture. In many spheres patriarchal, and under a complex political arrangement, the Bosnian society encountered the task of accepting the accelerated process of development, in which it is difficult to reconcile the “spirit of a small place” with the immediate development of the postmodern society today. Thus, Bosnia and Herzegovina has also found, and is still located in multiple confusion, under the pressure of the need to move in a different - and still for many completely unknown - way, as evidenced by today’s political, social, cultural and economic situation in our society.
