The INSTITUTE OF ETHNIC STUDIES
(Institut za narodnostna vprasanja), Ljubljana
and the

SLOVENE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY
(Drustvo antropologov Slovenije)

jointly organize an international conference titled


ANTHROPOLOGY OF WAR.
THE WARS IN THE TERRITORY OF EX-YUGOSLAVIA

and invite scholars of various anthropological specialization, historians,
sociologists, political scientists and others to participate in the five
days conference investigating the phenomenon of warfare on the territory
of ex-Yugoslavia. The following themes are proposed:

1. The collapse of the Second Yugoslavia: historical and
legal background;

2. Ethnicity, statehood, federalism: are modern Balkan wars
ethnic?

3. Balkan wars in the 1990': a precedent for modern warfare or an
atavistic outburst?

4. Anthropology in explaining modern warfare: anthropology as
a source of theoretization on war;

5. Political culture and aggressiveness: were the wars in the
Balkans inevitable?

6. The attractiveness of war I.: battleground phenomena and
ideology;

7. The attractiveness of war II.: "ethnic cleansing" as a
genocidal strategy;

8. Shattering symbolic networks: destroying a culture?

9. The individual and the group in the war: living with war;
children in the war;

10. Neutralizing the effects of war: experience and
prospects.

Abstracts of proposed papers are due September 15, 1993.

The conference will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia
November 22 - 26, 1993.
