A Possible Sociological Consideration of Nation and Ethnicity

Silva Mežnarić ; Institut za migracije i narodnosti, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

For quite some time, at least ever since the days of Annales, we have referred to a convergence of sociology and historiography. The author of the article provides proof of how fruitful a joint participation of both of these can be if ethnic revival, nation and nationalism are subjects of research. The analytical apparatus of traditional historiography and sociology is re-examined from the standpoint of modernity: attempts are made to prove that sociology is gradually giving up its obsession with »structure« and function, while historiography is abandoning the »time sequence« of events, and that their getting together on the research material of ethnicity and of what is pertaining to nation can yield new theory-related achievements. The achievements might be based on the following: taking over from modern historiography into sociology the understanding of temporalness and of the temporal-spatial analysis, as well as taking over from sociology into historiography the understanding of structure and function.
