      The dominant registers for discussing identity-based social and political issues in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe are “nationalism,” “multiculturalism,” “post socialism,” and “transition.” Instead of seeking solutions within these debates, we shift our focus to examining the discipline’s history, specifically the concept of the “anthropologization of ethnology” in Serbia. Namely, in the past four decades, Serbian anthropology has undergone significant changes in theories, methodologies and themes, which have not been widely acknowledged by the public. This lack of public awareness can be, paradoxically, considered useful in terms of the discipline’s politics. As the region experiences retraditionalization after a brief period of democratic progress, the traditional image of ethnology – as a “national science” supplied with a “toolkit” for safeguarding collective identity – can become a practical instrument for achieving anthropological means. This Ketman-like maneuver presents an opportunity for contemporary Serbian anthropology facing retraditionalist and fundamentalist social trends to advance a cultural critique by operating from an ethnological niche – and thus securing its social legitimacy. One of the possible pathways to achieve this twofold goal is the disciplinary engagement with UNESCO’s concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), which can, arguably, be employed as a reconciliation rather than conflict provoking platform for negotiating the cultural politics in Western Balkans, as well as in the other post-conflict regions.
