FINITIS DUODECIM LUSTRIS: INTEGRATING CHALLENGES

Ivan Lozica orcid.org/0000-0001-7537-0004 ; Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Sixty years of the Institute's existence cannot be described as a mere institutional persistence – it is the history of changes, a perpetuation of paradigmatic shifts. My intention is to rethink those changes. Hence there is a perturbation, a turn-about in the title of the paper. Challenging integration refers mainly to our present situation while my survey comprises diachronic approach. I would rather describe the past six decades as a continuous and complex process of integrating diverse theoretical, political, ethical and other challenges within our small scholarly community, in order to trace that subtle and hidden link which forms the actual identity of our Institute and makes us recognizable both in domestic and in European context.
