Description: Ethnology, Myth and Politics : Anthropologizing Croatian Ethnology, Hardcover by Rihtman-Augustin, Dunja; Zmegac, Jasna Capo; Capo, Jasna, ISBN 0754640396, ISBN-13 9780754640394, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The late author has played a major role in the reformulation of Croatian ethnology since the 1970s through her work at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research. She broke with the diffusionist paradigm of earlier ethnologists concerned with the diffusion of cultural practices in the past in order to concentrate on "the influence of politics on cultural processes and phenomena and the analysis of political symbols, myths and rituals." It is in this context that she here explores the politics of the field of ethnology itself with essays on the participation of ethnology in the construction of the national myth, the conversion of the peasants into political Croats, research choices during the socialist era, and other questions of the politics of Croatian ethnology.
