Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with those aspects of dualism in Croatian ethnology whose more important “outer” grounds can be found. It is the dualism that is undoubtedly scholarly-historically anchored, the division in two around the paradox that had been marked as enlightening-romanticist controversy in the history of this discipline. Bearing in mind that the significant part of this controversy is being connected to the parallelism and familiarity, i.e., the differences and the implacability of the ethnological and the anthropological scholarly practices, the paper reaches the elements of the identifications of the theory of culture (autochthonous otherness) that predominates in the national ethnologies.
