In Researching Yugoslavia and its Aftermath, a common thread is the
authors' path through the time and space context in which fieldwork
has taken place. Accordingly, this collection tackles problems that
have always existed but have not been dealt with in a single
volume. In particular, it examines a range of methodological
questions arising from the contributors' shared concerns, and thus
the obstacles and solutions characterising the relationship between
researchers and their objects of study. Being an interdisciplinary
project, this book brings together highly regarded historians,
sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, cultural and
social theorists, as well as experts in architecture and
communication studies. They share a belief that the awareness of
the researcher's own position in fieldwork is a precondition of
utmost significance to comprehend the evolution of objects of
study, and hence to ensure transparency and ultimate credibility of
the findings. Moreover, the contributors come from diverse
backgrounds, including authors from the former Yugoslavia and
others who have made their way to the region after starting their
research careers; some from universities in the area, others from
institutions in the Global North. Here, they explore cross-cutting
issues such as the repercussions of gender, nationality,
institutional affiliation and the consequences of their entry into
the field. This is examined in terms of the results of the research
and the ethical aspect of the relationship with the object of
study, as well as the implications of the chosen time framework in
the methodological design and the clash between this decision and
the interests of the actors studied.
