Accepted Paper:
Post-socialism as a field of scientific enquiry
Irena Sumi
(Institute for Ethnic Etudies)
Paper short abstract:
The contribution offers a critical reading of the post-socialist literature and I argue that post-socialist studies have adopted a research agenda that is closely reminiscent of that in modernist social anthropology, thus presenting a specific epistemological "regression".
Paper long abstract:
The contribution will offer a critical reading of the rapidly spawning post-socialist literature and argue that post-socialist studies seem to have adopted a research agenda that is closely reminiscent of that in classical, modernist social and cultural anthropology, thus presenting a specific epistemological "regression" to a type of "realism" in an emergent problem field.
