BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA IZMEĐU REGIONALNE I SVJETSKE ANTROPOLOGIJE KAO TALAC ETATISTIČKO-BIROKRATSKE PROCEDURALNOSTI
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BETWEEN REGIONAL AND WORLD ANTHROPOLOGY AS A HOSTAGE OF ETATIST-BUREAUCRATIC PROCEDURAL

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the history and contemporary development of anthropology in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Southeast Europe with particular emphasis on its (non) existence at university departments in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The emphasis is also on answers and feedback received from renowned university professors, namely Ethnology and Social Anthropology PhD. experts who, through the many years of professorial and scientific research and social activism, have expressed and communicated the need for Anthropology studies establishing and opening in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Why is it that this country, gravid with cultural and historical heritage, being furthermore a tangent point on the map of the Balkans as a synonym for multi-ethnic, multicultural and multiconfessional existence, the country whose differentia specifica is exposed in these significant socio-anthropological patterns that are also the base for this comprehensive holistic science on humans, is not ready for the Anthropology studies? In the post-conflict era, Bosnia and Herzegovina opened as an attractive destination for world anthropologists; the absurdity lies in the fact that the “outside” view should be accompanied by the “inside” expert view. Will the senates of the rectories of all universities in BiH, acting as socio-political organizations, finally launch an initiative to establish Ethnology and Anthropological Studies, or will Bosnia and Herzegovina serve as the “eternal coin for servicing” of some long unregulated political (multi) ethnic reckonings and/or accounts?
