Anthropologists who are employed to change the worlds they are researching find themselves in a potentially contradictory position. Combining the various roles and expectations involved in working ...with Gypsies and local government at the same time as conducting anthropological research, provides the overall perspective of this study. It is an unusual and effective balance of insightful ethnography and anthropological theory with the perspective of someone employed to carry out applied work. An effective and creative use of metaphor structures the entire work and allows complex ideas to be conveyed in an accessible way. Drawing upon traditional anthropological approaches such as kinship and story telling and engaging with the works of major social theorists such as Weber, Bourdieu and Foucault as well as the work of contemporary anthropologists, this work demonstrates the use of anthropology in understanding changing situations and in deciding how best to manage such situations.
Avtorja skušata s pomočjo različnih teoretskih pretpostavk in terena raziskati komunikacijo ter narodno in kulturno dediščino Slovencev v svetu na internetu. Gre za hitro razvijajočo se tehnologijo, ...kjer se dogajajo številne spremembe, ki vplivajo na uporabnike. Tako je v zadnjem času relativno statično, enosmerno komunikacijo »klasičnih« spletnih strani nadomestila precej bolj interaktivna na forumih, straneh za nasnemavanje videoposnetkov, blogih in nadgradnjah spletnih strani. A tu je čedalje težje najti kriterije za vrednotenje gradiva, oz. za določanje, kaj v teh primerih narodna in kulturna dediščina sploh je. Gradivo tako postane kar celotna debata, komunikacija določenih skupin, ki razpravljajo o različnih vrednotah, mitih, stereotipih, kulturnih praksah, identitetah in svoja virtualna srečanja prenašajo tudi v fizični svet.
Prispevek obravnava vplive nove državne meje med Slovenijo in Hrvaško na narodnostno mešanem območju občine Lendava v severovzhodni Sloveniji. Različne socialne, starostne in narodnostne skupine ...imajo različen odnos do prostorskih vplivov nove meje.
The purpose of this investigation is to examine standing height and its association with arm span as an alternative to estimating true height in both sexes among Montenegrins. The study included a ...cohort of 2,088 individuals, 981 males and 1107 females from all Montenegrin municipalities. The anthropometric measurements were made following the ISAK protocol. Correlation coefficients at a ninety-five per cent confidence interval were carried out to measure the linear association between physical height and arm span. Then, a linear regression analysis was carried out to examine to which extent arm span can reliably predict true height. The results showed that Montenegrin males are 183.34±6.89 cm tall and have arm spans of 184.56±8.28 cm, while Montenegrin females are 169.36±6.37 cm tall and have arm spans of 168.04±7.52 cm. The results of this study confirmed our assumptions that both men and women in Montenegro are among the tallest people in the world. In addition, it is also confirmed that arm span represents a reliable predictor of true height in the Montenegrin population.
