摘要
The article analyzes the situation in which ethnographic studies found themselves at the turn of the third decade of the 21st century.The historical background,rooted in the past century,as well as the situation that developed by the end of the second decade,is considered at the general philosophical level,while the area that illustrates the situation was chosen taking into account the author’s professional orientation—ethnomusicology.The problems are divided into three groups.The first such group is devoted to new practices and information spaces that are constantly changing the situation.The second group concerns worldview aspects related to the perception of new ethnographers by the guild elders.A critique of the“decolonization”of ethnographic research as part of an overview of institutional and disciplinary barriers concludes the topics discussed in the article.
