Abstract

This article follows the life history of a Croatian-Greek family of four, whose members have spent their lifetime across multiple nation states. Through data collected during a four-month ethnographic fieldwork period in the city of Zagreb, issues of mobility, national identification, and a sense of belonging within the transnational social field are examined. Having been influenced by more than one nation state, the narrations of each of the interlocutors encompass diverse national discourses, reflecting their hybrid national identities. The findings mentioned in this paper underline, first and foremost, the persistent power of the nation state and raise considerable questions about the significance of boundaries and processes of othering in contemporary societies. This paper is open access and may be further distributed in accordance with the provisions of the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 HR licence.

跨国生活:民族认同协商的人类学方法
这篇文章讲述了一个克罗地亚-希腊四口之家的生活史,他们的成员一生都在多个民族国家度过。通过在萨格勒布市进行为期四个月的人种学实地调查期间收集的数据,研究了跨国社会领域内的流动、民族认同和归属感问题。由于受到不止一个民族国家的影响,每个对话者的叙述都包含了不同的民族话语,反映了他们的混合民族身份。本文中提到的研究结果首先强调了民族国家的持久力量,并提出了关于当代社会中边界和他者进程的重要性的相当大的问题。本文是开放获取的,并可能根据CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 HR许可的规定进一步分发。

期刊介绍: Studia ethnologica Croatica is an annual periodical which publishes peer reviewed articles that contribute to the development of empirical, methodological and theoretical insights and findings in the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology. Articles in related disciplines, as well as those with interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary scope focusing on cultural phenomena and processes, are also welcomed. The journal is primarily focused on the area of Central and Southeast Europe, but it has a much wider outlook thus bringing together scientists of various and differing views, standpoints and approaches, those who come from the mentioned regions as well as those whose research focuses on them. The journal promotes studies based on ethnography, innovative approach to theoretical concepts and creative cultural criticism, grasping at the same time local reflections of the global processes, particularly cultural transformations and continuities in contemporary societies. Occasionally, a part of the journal is devoted to a particular topic related to certain actual issues or perspectives in various specific subdisciplines of ethnology and cultural anthropology. The journal also publishes book reviews.
