Title:
Between "national tradition" and human condition: politics, methodology and epistemology amidst post-socialist change
In the Journal:
Teaching anthropology. 2015, vol. 5, P. 2-11
Summary / Abstract:

ENThe article explores the disciplinary rivalry between “national ethnology” and sociocultural anthropology in postsocialist Lithuania. I unpack the influence of national identity politics on the research and teaching strategies, methodologies and epistemologies of these two fields. In particular I show how institutional politics has shaped disciplinary practices at two major universities – Vilnius and Vytautas Magnus University - and explore the effects on its participants.
