PITFALLS AND OTHER TRAPS: A LONG WAY YET TO AN EQUAL EUROPEAN DIALOGUE IN THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCES. AN EMPIRICAL REPORT

Abstract

This contribution has emerged from a conference at which Austrian and Bulgarian ethnologists, folklorists, and historical anthropologists discussed the perspectives of a European ethnology. One subject of the general discussion was the preconditions and chances of an equal ethnologic dialogue in Europe - meaning an equal dialogue between the exponents of the various "national" ethnologies (and folkores and historical anthropologies) of the "West" and "(South-)East".
