With this Congress, the society enters the second half of its first century. Go ahead and flip through the pages of this book of abstracts; I think you’ll agree that much of what we’re discussing this week -- the vantage points, the dialogues, not to mention the vocabulary -- would have been hard to imagine for our predecessors who took part in the society’s founding in the mid-1960s. Our successors, I’m sure, will say the same about us fifty years from now. That last sentence is optimistic, not to mention self-flattering. It assumes that there will be a future, in spite of contrary indications, and moreover it assumes that in this future someone will pause to think of us. Speaking of utopias and heritages! Still, for the sake of argument, let’s assume they make a passing reference to us when SIEF meets for its 37th Congress in 2065 (a couple of us here this year may even show up). If SIEF Congresses in the last 50 years are anything to go by, if the future differs from the present in ways that can compare to how the present differs from the past, then, to be sure, much will be said that we may find it difficult to wrap our minds around today. And yet over the past half century some key concerns have stayed with us, and it is hard to believe that they will fade away any time soon: the popular, the vernacular, the everyday; the local and the translocal; the national and the transnational; diffusion and migration; difference and sameness; religious and secular imaginaries; the narrative and the material; tradition and creativity; class and gender; food and the home; the archive and the museum. These topics cut across panels at this Congress and across SIEF Congresses from the outset to the present. They define the society and its field(s) of research and practice; these are the concerns that mark the common ground of ethnologists and folklorists in all their various denominations and renominations, concerns shared with colleagues from neighboring disciplines who take part in the work and Congresses of SIEF. We bring to these common concerns those questions and concepts that motivate us any given year: from the historic-geographic, the functional, or the (post-)structural at previous Congresses, to the affective, the digital, the corporeal, or the posthuman at current Congresses. These traveling concepts bring us into larger conversations that cut across disciplines; they are crucial, if ephemeral. The common concerns, in contrast, have proved resilient; they remain at the heart of our field(s) through all of the various “turns” it takes.They unite us, in spite of our differences. This week they have brought us together in Zagreb, in greater numbers than ever before. The SIEF Congress is an intellectual festival where we showcase the state of the art in our field(s), engage with one another’s work and enjoy each other’s company. A great deal of work has gone into planning and preparing for this Congress. To all those who have made it possible for us to meet in Zagreb this year, I extend the gratitude of SIEF and its board: to our hosts and local organizers for their hospitality and dedication, to the scientific committee, to panel conveners, to student volunteers, to the University of Zagreb, the City of Zagreb, to the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and to our long-term partners in NomadIT -- and more specifically to the Congress administrator, Triinu Mets for making it all look easy when we know it is not. Thank you! And to all of you: Welcome to SIEF2015! It’s going to be a roller coaster ride. I hope you’ll find it fun, stimulating, and inspiring. If you don’t already belong to one of SIEF’s specialized working groups, consider joining one on Monday evening; they carry the SIEF torch and carry on the conversations between the Congresses. And remember, we meet again in Göttingen in two years’ time. Valdimar Tr. Hafstein SIEF president 7 Welcome Welcome address from Prof Damir Boras, the Rector of the University of Zagreb Dear colleagues, guests, dear friends It is a great pleasure and a true honour to welcome you in Zagreb to participate and share in the 12th SIEF Congress hosted by the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. We take great pride in being the oldest university in Croatia and one of the oldest universities in Europe existing for over 345 years. Since the implementation of Bologna Process on all study levels, our University has become the integral part of European high education area and the main goals of our developmental strategy are directed towards internationalization of our study programs and opening our doors to foreign students and staff. Your host, the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, is the oldest but also the largest Croatian research and higher education institution in humanities and social sciences and a significant cultural institution with a great impact on Croatian culture and society in the past, in present times and, with our best efforts, will remain so in the future.

  • Questioning Identity, Humanity and Culture Through Japanese Anime
    The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan The Many Faces of Popular Culture and Contemporary Processes: Questioning Identity, Humanity and Culture through Japanese Anime Mateja Kovacic Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong 0434 The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract In a highly globalized world we live in, popular culture bears a very distinctive role: it becomes a global medium for borderless questioning of ourselves and our identities as well as our humanity in an ever-transforming environment which requires us to be constantly ''plugged in'' in order to respond to all the challenges as best as we can. Vast cultural products we create and consume every day thus provide a relevant insight into problems that both researchers and audiences have to face with in an informatised and technologised world. Japanese anime is one of such cultural products: a locally produced cultural artifact became a global phenomenon that transcends cultures and spaces. In its imageries we discover a wide range of themes that concern us today, ranging from bioethical issues, such as ecological crisis, posthumanism and loss of identity in a highly transforming world to the issues of traditionality and spirituality. The author will show in what ways we can approach and study popular culture products in order to understand the anxieties and prevailing concerns of our cultures today, with emphasis on the identity and humanity, and their position in the contemporary high-tech world we live in. The author's intention is to point to popular culture as a significant (re)source for the fields of humanities and cultural studies, as well as for discussing human transformations and possible future outcomes of these transformations in a technoscientific world.

  • 1: for Me, It Was Personal Names with Too Many of the Letter "Q"
    1: For me, it was personal names with too many of the letter "q", "z", or "x". With apostrophes. Big indicator of "call a rabbit a smeerp"; and generally, a given name turns up on page 1... 2: Large scale conspiracies over large time scales that remain secret and don't fall apart. (This is not *explicitly* limited to SF, but appears more often in branded-cyberpunk than one would hope for a subgenre borne out of Bruce Sterling being politically realistic in a zine.) Pretty much *any* form of large-scale space travel. Low earth orbit, not so much; but, human beings in tin cans going to other planets within the solar system is an expensive multi-year endevour that is unlikely to be done on a more regular basis than people went back and forth between Europe and the americas prior to steam ships. Forget about interstellar travel. Any variation on the old chestnut of "robots/ais can't be emotional/creative". On the one hand, this is realistic because human beings have a tendency for othering other races with beliefs and assumptions that don't hold up to any kind of scrutiny (see, for instance, the relatively common belief in pre-1850 US that black people literally couldn't feel pain). On the other hand, we're nowhere near AGI right now and it's already obvious to everyone with even limited experience that AI can be creative (nothing is more creative than a PRNG) and emotional (since emotions are the least complex and most mechanical part of human experience and thus are easy to simulate).

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

Following upon the research of Croatian linguists (R. Katičić) and cultural anthropologists (V. Belaj) the authors propose several sites, and structured associations thereof, which, in their opinion, played an important role as the foundations to the cultural landscape of Zagreb and the Zagreb Prigorje area, as we can at least partly reconstruct it today. These sites, located along the line St. Jakob-Medvedgrad-St.Marko, within the Remete »hoof,« along the line the Rog-the Stari Kip-Gradec (Zagreb), and those linked to St. Barbara are just initial examples of what might be achieved by a systematic continuous research. The paper also discusses methodology involved in studying cultural landscape, its signifi cance for the history of the visual arts, and the importance for contemporary interventions in our environment.
