Abstract

As the ethnographic representation of fear, death, symbolic resistance
and strategies for keeping up the practices of everyday life in war
entails not only epistemological, but also ethical and political issues,
reactions to Croatian war ethnographies (written by insider anthropologists and folklorists from 1991 to 1994) have often depended
on the emotional and political positioning of readers. In this article,
such reactions from Western European and American audiences are
presented in order to show that in the complex web of personal,
political and representational processes in scientific discourse, political
judgments on the war in Croatia have so far been crucial.
