Sociology, ethnology, history and Ardalic's Bukovica

Šime Pilić

Abstract

The paper consists of two parts. The fi rst part shortly describes the relationship between sociology and ethnology, and sociology and history. The starting point is that within review of the development of ethnology thought it is not possible to circumvent Durkheim’s contribution, who engaged in ethnological analysis of incest, totemism,
kinship, etc. The contemporary ethnology coordinates better its relations with sociology (Poarije, 1999).
Durkheim also emphasizes that sociological research should be organized with in historical frameworks. A dynamic approach to society and social changes requires the cooperation between historiography and sociology. Historical sociology has the potential
to demonstrate the practical value of the research of the past and perform systematic comparison across space and time has a historical sociology.
In the second part of this paper, the author, after having spatially defi ned Bukovica, outlines the picture of Bukovica as presented by Ardalic, comparing it with the other findings, and linking this part of the discussion with the fi rst part of the work.
