The Ecological Transformation Of A Resettled Area, Pig Herders To Settled Farmers In Central Serbia (Sumadija, Yugoslavia) During The 19th And 20th Centuries, Joel Halpern
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
A vegetarian has a difficult time finding a suitable restaurant in Serbia — the featured dishes are meat, potatoes with varieties of pork a favorite as in the grilled skewer of meat known as raznjici, the pork equivalent of shiskebab. Some of the folk restaurants now feature corn bread, proja, formerly a basic of the peasant diet and now a romantic speciality. These dietary patterns represent a cycling of time, a link to past patterns of livestock raising — of the herding of pigs in forests. A tourist travelling
Professional And Personal Perspectives On Long Term Research In Serbia [Yugoslavia], Joel Halpern, Barbara Kerewsky-Halpern
Professional And Personal Perspectives On Long Term Research In Serbia [Yugoslavia], Joel Halpern, Barbara Kerewsky-Halpern
Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery
On the leveI of personal relationships, there is, perhaps, no need to pose the question that is the title of this paper. The long and ongoing research experience has been tremendously enriching for the investigators and our now adult children, who first arrived in the viIlage as toddlers and infant. From what our vilIage friends convey, satisfactions with this enduring relationship have been a two-way process. But beyond personal affect, what is the intellectual value of long-term study of a single community?
Over thirty years ago the opportunity to document European village Life, in this case a village in Serbia, …

Our Rural Metamorphoses In The Eyes Of The Ethnologist Joel M. Halpern, Joel Halpern, Lidija Boskovic
Our Rural Metamorphoses In The Eyes Of The Ethnologist Joel M. Halpern, Joel Halpern, Lidija Boskovic
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
Our multiethnic community is one of the most mosaicked ethnic and cultural areas in the world. It is therefore natural for foreign ethnologists , anthropologists , folklorists , and culturologists to display a great interest for the facts , phenomena and trends of development and affirmation, endurance and intermingling of different cultures in our country. Among the foreign humanists who are studying our society and culture, one of the most prominent places is undoubtedly occupied by American ethnologist Joel M. Halpern, University Professor from Massachusetts (State University in Amherst), who has visited our country on several occasions (for longer or …
Comparative Dynamics Of A Traditional Serbian Village: Oraciac 1863 To 1975, Joel Halpern
Comparative Dynamics Of A Traditional Serbian Village: Oraciac 1863 To 1975, Joel Halpern
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
Research proposal: I. Purposes of this Research In summary this research will provide a model for the investigation of kinship, demographic and socio-economic systems in an open systems framework. The impact of changes in these systems on the individual life cycle then follows as the village roles change not only qualitatively - as in the appearance of new occupations, but also quantitatively in the duration of role incumbancy for the individual. II. Previous Research III. Methodological Considerations
Individual Life Cycles And Family Cycles. A Comparison Of Perspectives In Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern
Individual Life Cycles And Family Cycles. A Comparison Of Perspectives In Yugoslavia, Joel Halpern
Emeritus Faculty Author Gallery
This paper seeks to relate changing individual life cycles to changing cycles of family development. My data refer specifically to Yugoslavia (although it is hoped that some of the points made will have more general applicability). Within Yugoslavia primary reference is to a village in central Serbia which I have studied intermittently over the past twenty years, but comparative data will be presented from other regions as well.

Town And Countryside In Serbia In The Nineteenth-Century, Social And Household Structure As Reflected In The Census Of 1863, Joel Halpern
Town And Countryside In Serbia In The Nineteenth-Century, Social And Household Structure As Reflected In The Census Of 1863, Joel Halpern
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
Balkan familial and household structure has been the subject of discussion and study for over a century, but not much attention has been paid to the specifics of size and kinship composition. If we give as a brief tentative definition of the zadruga an extended household composed of a father and his married sons and their offspring (paternal zadruga), or two or more married brothers and their children (fraternal zadruga), how many people in a given community actually lived in these types of households? What about the size of the households themselves? Much of the literature with respect to the …

The Orasac Villager And The World Outside, Joel Halpern
The Orasac Villager And The World Outside, Joel Halpern
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
The universe of the Orasac peasant centers on his household, his neighborhood, his clan, and his village. The world outside the village is of secondary importance, although he is very much aware of it and interested in it. Toward each larger and more distant sphere of influence and association, from the relation of Orasac to its surrounding village and market town, to Sumadija and Serbia, to the rest of Yugoslavia, and to the vast world beyond, his feelings become less intense.
Songs And Chants From A Serbian Village, Joel Halpern, Barbara Halpern
Songs And Chants From A Serbian Village, Joel Halpern, Barbara Halpern
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
The following notes, collected while making a community study in the region of Sumadija, central Serbia, in 1953-1954, present a glimpse of village chants and songs and describe the circumstances under which they are sung. The intent here is simply to illustrate their position in the total peasant culture and not to analyze their musical form and content.
