Environmental Disasters, Climate Change and other Big Problems of Our Times

A View from Southeast Europe

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the contribution of social and cultural anthropology to the study of environmental disasters and climate change as it is reflected in the literature. It then makes some suggestions how the anthropology of and in Southeast Europe can contribute to these issues and the reasons why social anthropologists from and of Southeast Europe should engage more in environmental issues. It concludes that engaging in these issues will not only refresh the discipline theoretically and methodologically in the context of zonal anthropologies but can also offer the discipline of social anthropology a more conspicuous political voice.
