This article presents an ethnographic account of the Universidad Indígena de Venezuela (UIV), a pioneering initiative that allows us to apply and connect theories on ethnicity and development. We expound the historical processes and space-time structures of this organization: the UIV is analyzed as a country-wide social network, as a specic place (Caño Tauca), and as a set of rituals, symbols and discourses that build a particular institutional "culture". The ironies of development as a global industry and discourse are shown, but also the paradoxes and unavoidable tensions of a well-intended local project. The complexities of ethnicity are unfolded in order to evidence the pressure of European-rooted political molds. But Indigenous Universities - among other indigenous movements - are more than an adaptation to those globalized models: They provide a chance to open Western epistemology (and politics) to other worldviews.

This article addresses the need to adopt an intersectional perspective when discussing sexual harassment and violence in academia. The introduction of an intersectional perspective is important since sexual harassment and violence in relation to racial and ethnic minorities seldom revolve exclusively around gender. Recognising the intersectional nature of sexual assault and harassment means also recognising the coexistence of racism and nationalism, the perpetuation of ethnic/racial stereotypes, the multifaceted manifestations of discrimination, and a matrix of domination that exists in our society and educational and research institutions as well. In this article, we analysed official documents of Slovenian higher education and research institutions (public and private ones) with an aim to examine whether and how they address intersectionality and racial/ethnic minorities in their policies combating sexual harassment and violence. The results revealed a significant ignorance towards intersectionality of gender and ethnicity, but also issues arising from accessibility of these policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article begins by discussing the major theoretical contributions of Barth's "Introduction" to Ethnic Groups and Boundaries and of a later essay he wrote on "Enduring and Emerging Issues in the Analysis of Ethnicity" (1994), which assessed the significance of his edited book. Among the principal contributions of Barth discussed are the greater sociological concern with ethnicity beginning in the 1970s, his emphasis on what "the actors themselves regard as significant," which contributed to the understanding of the social construction of ethnicity and race, and his argument that ethnic groups organise interactions between people, which led to the view of ethnicity (and race) as an organising principle of social relations. Also reviewed are the primary shortcomings of Barth's essays, including not mentioning the significance of race and racism and how race, rather than ethnicity, is the dominant principle of social organisation in many societies and thus serves as a boundary among groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The subject of this paper is the ambiguity of the conceptualisation of ethnicity. Can it fruitfully be regarded as a relational property of any social system, or should the concept rather be confined to a specific kind of historical society, notably those defined as modern societies? In exploring this question, the author draws on selected theoretical and meta-theoretical contributions to the analysis of ethnicity, beginning with Fredrik Barth's 'Introduction' to his edited volume, Ethnic Groups and Boundaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference (ed. F. Barth 1969), the authors have taken the opportunity to pursue a critical revision of the reasons that have led to the great success of this work, which has played a key role in ethnicity studies within social anthropology and beyond the discipline. First, they look back at the time period when Ethnic Groups and Boundaries originated and asses the book in this historical context. This leads them to several unexpected findings: Firstly, despite the fact that Barth's "Introduction" to the volume has become nearly iconic in ethnicity studies in the last 50 years, the term "ethnicity" itself does not occur there at all. It is also surprising that scholars and researchers of the period did not consider Ethnic Groups and Boundaries to be a groundbreaking book. Apart from this, the acceptance of the book was, particularly in the U.S., delayed and only gradual. The view of Barth's publication through the eyes of his contemporaries thus does not correspond to the interpretation of its impact and significance that is widely held today. These facts led to a conclusion: If we insist on the fact that Ethnic Groups and Boundaries is a key and ground-breaking contribution to ethnicity studies within social anthropology (and beyond), it is necessary to reassess the arguments that support this thesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It has been already pointed out by some of the earlier critics that Fredrik Barth in his seminal "Introduction" to Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (1969) defined ethnicity in an ahistorical way as a universal phenomenon intrinsic not only to some societies or historical periods but to mankind in general. Simultaneously Barth understands ethnic identity as a basic and dominant identity, to which other types of identity are subordinated. In this conceptual frame, ethnically indifferent groups, i.e., the groups in which the us-them dichotomisation does not proceed on the ethnic level, and whose members think and act primarily in non-ethnic terms and their identity repertoire lacks ethnic identification, find themselves in a kind of conceptual blind spot. This article deals with relationships of two ethnically indifferent groups in the territory of Bulgaria in the first half of the twentieth century. This historical case study serves both as a kind of development and criticism of Barth's approach and an elaboration of the concept of ethnic indifference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pripadnost etničkoj skupini može utjecati na socioekonomski položaj i natalitet (rodnost) pojedinca. Tako žene manjinskih etničkih skupina najčešće imaju relativno visoki natalitet, češće su samohrane majke, slabije su obrazovane i općenito slabijega socioekonomskog statusa. Iako postoje brojna međunarodna istraživanja koja su potvrdila razlike u natalitetu etničkih skupina, odnos narodnosti i nataliteta u Hrvatskoj gotovo da i nije istraživan. Stoga se u ovom istraživanju analizirala stopa nataliteta etničkih skupina u Republici Hrvatskoj i povezanost narodnosti majke sa socioekonomskim varijablama: dob pri rađanju djeteta, obrazovanje, ekonomska aktivnost, bračnost i red rođenja djeteta. Upotrijebljeni su podaci o rođenjima iz obrazaca DEM-1 za godine od 1998. do 2008. te službeni podaci popisa stanovništva iz 2001. Utvrđena je povezanost narodnosti majke i svih socioekonomskih varijabli, iako je ona malena. Utvrđene su i značajne razlike u natalitetu etničkih skupina. Žene albanske, bošnjačke, romske i ostalih narodnosti, a donekle i žene srpske narodnosti imaju nepovoljniji socioekonomski položaj, a visoki natalitet imaju Romkinje i Albanke. Ipak, zbog metodoloških poteškoća te načina vođenja vitalne statistike nije moguće utvrditi jasnu vezu pripadnosti etničkoj skupini i nataliteta. Uvrštavanjem varijable narodnost i prikazom socioekonomskih varijabli prema narodnosti majke u službenim statističkim publikacijama, znatno bi se olakšala istraživanja te omogućila bolja i učinkovitija demografska i socijalna politika.

Avtor v članku razpravlja o prisotnosti Slovencev na »avstro-ogrskem« območju nekdanje SFRJ s pomočjo koncepta politično motiviranega naseljevanja na za večnacionalne države strateško pomembna območja. Poleg komparativne analize popisnih metodologij, ki so zbirale razne jezikovne in etnične pri- padnosti v obdobju od prvih modernih popisov sredi 19. stoletja do danes, avtor sistematično naslavlja vprašanje kvantitativne in statistične prisotnosti Slovencev na območjih, katerih teritorialne naslednice so federalne enote nekdanje Jugoslavije. Glavna skupina ugotovitev se osredinja na instrumentalizacijo etničnosti kot ključnega evidentiranega dejavnika planskih migracij s strani državnih centrov večnacionalnih držav (npr. Avstro-Ogrska, nekdanja SFRJ). Prispevek na podlagi analiz podatkov trdi, da se je motiviranost prebivalstva pripadati slovenski etniciteti bodisi skozi nominalno govorjeni jezik bodisi skozi izrecno etnično pripadnost ustvarjala in poustvarjala neodvisno od realnih migracijskih tokov.

V Sloveniji živi pomembna etnična manjšina imigrantov, ki se je v preteklih desetletjih priselila iz drugih republik nekdanje Jugoslavije. V kvalitativno zastavljeni raziskavi avtorja iščeta morebitne spremembe njihovih prehranjevalnih vzorcev v Sloveniji, pri tem pa ju zlasti zanimajo interpretativni okviri, s katerimi (si) imigranti pojasnjujejo morebitne spremembe prehranjevanja. Raziskava ugotavlja visoko stopnjo pragmatizma v odnosu do prehranjevanja, fatalizem nasproti spremembam in omejitvam, odsotnost nacionalističnih prvin v utemeljitvah kulinaričnih izbir in veliko mero strpnosti do vseh oblik morebitnih kulinaričnih drugačnosti.

Prispevek obravnava populacijo Žumberčanov v Sloveniji. To je v Slovenijo priseljena populacija iz hrvaške regije Žumberk, 15 – 40 km kilometrov zahodno od hrvaške prestolnice Zagreb vzdolž slovensko-hrvaške meje. Žumberčani so del širše etnične kategorije potomcev Uskokov, prebivalstva, ki se je v poznem srednjem veku pred Otomansko vojsko umikalo iz osrednjega Balkana. Žumberčani so v tridesetih letih 16. stoletja prešli v Unijatstvo – so kristjani vzhodnega obreda, formalno pa del Katoliške cerkve. Žumberk je bil del Vojne krajine, ki so jo zaradi nevarnosti pred turško vojsko ustanovili Habsburžani. Žumberčani so opravljali vojaško službo, ta njihov status pa je tudi odločilno vplival na gospodarsko in socialno organiziranost družbe. Po ukinitvi Vojne krajine leta 1881 so se ekonomske razmere za žumberško prebivalstvo radikalno spremenile. Žumberk je postal območje odseljevanja in ena najbolj depopulacijskih regij Hrvaške. Žumberčani so se selili v druge dele Habsburškega imperija, močna pa je bila tudi migracija v druge države, zlasti v ZDA, Francijo in Nemčijo. Po letu 1880 so se večje skupine Žumberčanov začele pojavljati tudi v obmejnih slovenskih pokrajinah - v Beli krajini, v okolici Novega mesta in v Posavju, kasneje tudi v večjih mestih v notranjosti, predvsem v Ljubljani. To je tudi geografski okvir analize Žumberčanov v Sloveniji. Več kot polovica od 671 Žumberčanov in 772 drugih oseb, ki z njimi živijo v isti družini ali gospodinjstvu, živi v občini Metlika v Beli krajini. Druge osebe so tisti člani gospodinjstev, ki bodisi niso bili rojeni v žumberških vaseh oziroma se ob popisu niso versko opredelili kot grkokatoliki. Žumberčani so demografsko starejša populacija od večine na obravnavanem območju, bolj zgoščeno naseljeni v mestnih naseljih in imajo večji delež moškega prebivalstva. Po zaposlitvi in izobrazbi se ne razlikujejo pomembneje od večine prebivalstva. Večina generacije srednje starosti, še zlasti pa mlajše, živi v etnično in versko heterogenih gospodinjstvih. Pri mlajših generacijah kažejo analize statistično pomemben prehod pri opredeljevanju za Slovence in ne Hrvate, in za rimokatolike namesto grkokatolike pri verskem opredeljevanju. Trend je v občini Metlika, kjer Žumberčani tvorijo večji delež v skupnem prebivalstvu, manj izrazit.

The article derives from the experiences and dynamics of intercultural research work on the international project Children's Voices: Exploring Interethnic Violence and Children's Rights in the School Environment, led by the Science and Research Centre of the University of Primorska in 2011 and 2012. The project addressed various topics related to ethnicity and interethnic relations; however, the main issue addressed in the project was interethnic violence in the school environment. Motivated by several issues revealed during the empirical research process in five participating countries, we will expose some challenges in researching interethnic relations from an intercultural perspective. In so doing, we will focus on two dimensions defined as 'conceptual' and 'political'. The analysis of challenges in researching interethnic relations from an intercultural perspective is mainly based on a comparison of the five countries involved in the project (Slovenia, Austria, UK, Italy and Cyprus). Il presente articolo nasce dall'analisi delle esperienze e delle dinamiche di natura interculturale riscontrate nella ricerca realizzata nell'ambito del progetto internazionale Children's Voices: Exploring Interethnic Violence and Children's Rights in School Environment, coordinato dal Centro di ricerche scientifiche dell'Università del Litorale tra il 2011 e il 2012. Il progetto ha analizzato diversi aspetti relativi alle relazioni interetniche, con lo scopo principale di affrontare tale argomento in ambito scolastico. Nella fase empirica della ricerca, svoltasi in cinque diversi paesi, sono emersi i vari elementi alla base di quest'articolo che espone alcune sfide future per la ricerca nel campo delle relazioni interetniche in un' ottica interculturale. L'attenzione verte su due dimensioni che sono state definite "concettuale" e"politica"; l'analisi presentata in questa sede si basa sulla comparazione tra i cinque paesi coinvolti nel progetto (Slovenia, Austria, Inghilterra, Italia e Cipro).

Među hrvatskim iseljenicima i njihovim potomcima u Čileu i Južnoafričkoj Republici (JAR), u razdoblju nakon domovinskog rata i međunarodnog priznanja Republike Hrvatske proveli smo anketno istraživanje u cilju utvrđivanja postojanja/nepostojanja određenih oblika nacionalnog/etničkog identiteta. Komparirali smo odgovore ispitanika kako bi odredili stupanj kongruentnosti anketnih odgovora dviju različitih iseljeničkih skupina. Komparacijom dvaju istraživanja zaključili smo da iseljenička populacija u JAR-u i Čileu ima nekoliko distinktinih obilježja: generacijska pripadnost, obrazovanje, vrijeme iseljavanja, dužina boravka u imigrantskoj državi. Ovi čimbenici direktno su utjecali na stupanj očuvanosti nacionalnog/etničkog identiteta iseljenika kao i na način izražavanja istog. Iseljenička populacija u JAR je sastavljena uglavnom od iseljenika pristiglih nakon Drugoga svjetska rata. U JAR je bila čvrsto vezana uz hrvatsku katoličku crkvu koja je bila i glavno društveno središte okupljanja iseljenika. Stupanj očuvanosti nacionalnog/etničkog identiteta među njima je visok. Oni su u visokom postotku hrvatski državljani, znaju i pričaju na materinjem jeziku kao i njihova djeca, te imaju velike pretenzije za povratkom u domovinu. U Čileu je mali broj iseljenika pristiglih nakon Drugoga svjetskoga rata. Većina je rođena u Čileu, i pripadnici su druge, treće pa i četvrte iseljeničke generacije. Oni su uglavnom čileanski državljani, ne znaju i ne komuniciraju na hrvatskom jeziku, a i mali broj je onih koji bi se vratili u Hrvatsku.Unatoč naprijed navedenim distinktivnim obilježjima nalazimo kongruentnost/suglasnost u odgovorima na pitanja: članstvo u udrugama, stupanj zadovoljstva postignutim u imigrantskoj državi, očuvanost etničkih običaja unutar obitelji, informiranost o zbivanjima u Hrvatskoj. Ovi odgovori govore nam o postojanju jake etničke jezgre kod obje ispitivane populacije.U obje iseljeničke populacije nalazimo veliki broj članova hrvatskih iseljeničkih društava putem kojih manifestiraju svoju etničku/nacionalnu pripadnost. U JAR je hrvatska katolička crkva glavni inicijator okupljanja iseljenika, dok je u Čileu većina iseljeničkih društava nastala samoinicijativno željom iseljenika kako bi očuvali svoj etnički identitet. Oni su uglavnom intelektualci, pa i njihova društva nose slična obilježja ( društvo profesionalaca hrvatskog podrijetla, hrvatsko-čileanski institut za kulturu i sl). Unutar obje iseljeničke populacije visok je stupanj zadovoljstva položajem i postignutim u imigrantskoj državi. Također su obje iseljeničke populacije dobro informirane o događajima u domovini, te većina redovito kontaktira sa rodbinom i unutar obitelji njeguje hrvatske običaje.

Članek predstavlja razvoj priseljevanja v Slovenijo po drugi svetovni vojni z vidika vplivov na raven rodnosti v Sloveniji. Analizira priseljevanje v Slovenijo in na podlagi primerjav rodnosti posameznih etničnih skupin v Sloveniji opredeljuje vlogo le-teh v skupni rodnosti v Sloveniji. Poudarek je na primerjavah rodnosti priseljenega prebivalstva napram večinskemu prebivalstvu v Sloveniji. Rezultati dajejo podlago za sklep, da priseljevanje v Slovenijo ni podaljšalo, oziroma zaustavilo demografskega prehoda v Sloveniji, kot se to pogosto domneva, pač pa je povzročilo, da so bile spremembe še izrazitejše. To lahko dokažemo z generacijskimi vrednostmi končnega potomstva, ki kažejo, da se je krivulja zniževanja končnega potomstva spuščala enakomerno in da glede na povečan obseg generacij, ki so se številčno od priseljevanja najbolj okrepile, v svojih starostnih skupinah niso povečale tudi končnega potomstva. Transverzalni podatki kažejo sovpadanje zastoja v upadanju celotne rodnosti z obdobji izdatnejšega priseljevanja v Slovenijo – to je v 1970. letih. Poglobljena analiza pa nam kaže, da je pri tem igral najpomembnejšo vlogo starostni efekt, ki ni bil v neposredni zvezi s priseljevanjem. Celotna rodnost se je ob stagnaciji v 1970. že v prvi polovici 1980. naglo znižala, kar je v nasprotju s takrat obstoječim trendom naglega povečevanja števila priseljencev. Nekateri avtorji so ugotavljali, da je v obdobju od konca 1960. let in 1970. let korelacija med rodnostjo in priseljevanjem negativna, v 1980. letih pa visoka in pozitivna. Ob tem je nujno potrebno opomniti, da situacije v 1980. ne moremo izvzemati iz celote, kajti arbitrarna odločitev o časovnem intervalu opazovanja močno vpliva na rezultate. Kako sicer pojasniti relativno visoko in skokovito povečanje migracijskega salda v »prvem« obdobju s splošnim nižanjem vrednosti celotne rodnosti v Sloveniji, ob hkratnem strmem upadanju in sovpadanju vrednosti celotne rodnosti in migracijskega salda? Situacije v 1980. letih torej ne gre posploševati na situacijo v 1970. To posploševanje inducira tezo, da se je z upadom priseljevanja znižala tudi rodnost. Taka teza je v popolni kontradikciji s situacijo v 1970., ko je priseljevanje skokovito naraščalo, rodnost pa je kljub temu padala. Integralno gledano je priseljevanje vplivalo dejansko na skrajšanje demografskega prehoda, oziroma je povzročilo strmejši prehod v drugo demografsko tranzicijo. Da priselitve dejansko niso mogle zaustaviti demografskega prehoda, je razvidno tudi iz podatkov o končnem potomstvu priseljenk. Le-to je, kot smo pokazali, v povprečju nižje od tistega pri Slovenkah. To pa pomeni ravno nasprotno, namreč da so priseljenke prispevale k hitremu upadanju transverzalnih vrednosti rodnosti v 1980. letih. Presojanje vplivov priseljevanja na potek demografskega prehoda preko celotne rodnosti je problematično iz več razlogov. Najpomembnejši je ta, da so transverzalni kazalniki pod močnim vplivom trenutnih dejavnikov, posebej še sprememb povprečne starosti mater ob rojstvu otrok. Vpliv teh sprememb je tako velik, da je lahko letna vrednost precenjena ali podcenjena tudi za več kot desetino. To pa je bistveno več, kot lahko na vrednosti celotne rodnosti vplivajo kvantitativne spremembe rodnostnega obnašanja, ki so po svoji naravi dolgoročne, in kar potrjujejo tudi longitudinalni kazalniki.

In this article, I reflect on the changing valence of urban vernacular movement in contemporary Turkey as it lingers at the edge of Europe without formal membership. Drawing equally on dance theatre productions and politicised quotidian performances, I examine the frictive relationship between Islamic and secular culture entrepreneurs as well as the precarious, embodied articulations of difference in globalised lstanbul: the current Europea Capital of Culture. I investigate the overlapping aesthetic and socio-political ramification of intimate globalisation to expose the limits of Turkish multiculturalism on stage and of the street. My first larger objective is to trace ethnographically the use of mutual ethnic, sexual, and classed bodily distinctions in choreographing pluralism and producing new hierarchies under transnational sanctions and neoliberal investments. Second, I use this materialist dance ethnography to generate fresh interdisciplinary dialogue on entangle questions of social justice and artistic innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
