The situation of ethnology and anthropology in serbia is observed on two levels: scientific projects and institutions and scientific production - their implementation and presentation. The aim of this article is to picture the field of ethnology in the 21st century - stumbling after the previous turbulent period of crisis along with the rest of the post-socialistic serbian society. the author also wants to emphasize the extent to which the critical social and political processes influenced the scientific configuration and valorisation in the country and how ethnology and anthropology remained “blind and deaf” to destroying its social reality.
