Hungarian Ethnology Studies

It is necessary for every discipline to take Stock of its own current state every 20-30 years. Such review helps determine the discipline’s path and tasks for the coming decades, and it also facilitates reflection upon the changes and challenges of the scientific and non-scientific world around it. For this purpose, the Ethnography Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences organized a Series of Conferences between 2018 and 2020 on the current situation and future of ethnography, the proceedings of which are included in this volume. The volume addresses a wide range of readers – inside and outside the discipline – by providing the institutions and researchers of this discipline with reference points for further investigations, and by providing members of the public with authentic information about current and future research carried out with the purpose of exploring and preserving cultural heritage.
