The life and career of one of anthropology's most important ancestors, William Robertson Smith in the context of the history of anthropology. William Robertson Smith's influence on anthropology ranged from his relationship with John Ferguson McLennan, to advising James George Frazer to write about "Totem" and "Taboo" for the Encyclopaedia Britannica that he edited. This biography places a special emphasis on the notes and observations from his travels to Arabia, as well as on his influence on the representatives of the "Myth and Ritual School." With his discussion of myth and ritual, Smith influenced generations of scholars, and his insistence on the connection between the people, their God, and the land they inhabited inspired many of the concepts later developed by Émile Durkheim. "This is a clear, well-informed and interesting account of Robertson Smith's central ideas. The theories are set in the context of debates of the day, and their influence on anthropology and bible studies is discussed. An original and fascinating section reviews Robertson Smith's field work in the Middle East, which was much more extensive and intensive than is, I think, generally appreciated."-Adam Kuper, London School of Economics From the introduction: Although respected and studied, especially since the 1990s, Smith has a somewhat paradoxical position in the history of social and cultural anthropology. Anthropologists educated in the twentieth century admire him, but many contemporary scholars are not quite sure what to make of him

"This edition aims to provide some of the key challenges for modern societies so that scientists may explain them and give some solutions for better risk and crisis management. Scientists and researches from different areas and universities analyzed risks from areas of IT, global health, migrations, social engeneering, nuclear weaponry, environmental protection, private anti-crime business and different security policies. One of the aims of this edition is to explain how important it is to recognize all different challenges, not to neglect them, but to provide them with all possible legal solutions, technical solutions and knowledge to protect people, society and state from qualitatively different risks and consequences. Through this edition, experts and researches have tried to provide actual reviews of challenges of the twenty-first century and possible solutions for their understanding, prevention and/or minimalizing damages in emergency situations."--Publisher's website

My anthropological journey has consisted in movement not only between different disciplines, but also between languages, countries and continents. This has involved stories of identity (imagined, constructed, or both), changes of place (teaching in six countries on three continents, and in four languages), searches for a safe haven, and belief in understanding the motives that govern human beings. In this wonderful journey, my coming to the Anthropological Journal of European Cultures seems almost an inevitable event. Or perhaps it is just a product of 'chance and serendipity'.1 In retrospect, I look at my anthropological journey so far as a voyage of discovery – to different places, under different circumstances and in very different parts of the world.

U radu se analiziraju mjere tržišta rada u Crnoj Gori iz perspective socijalnog ulaganja. Crna Gora je zemlja kandidat za članstvo u Europskoj uniji i postoji potreba za usklađivanjem normativnog okvira. Socijalno ulaganje zadobiva znatnu pozornost kreatora politika u Europskoj uniji i nalazi se visoko na listi prioriteta socijalne politike. Slijedom toga, u radu se analizira funkcionira li crnogorsko tržište rada na sličan način kao ona u Europskoj uniji. Cilj rada je pokazati hoće li crnogorsko tržište rada biti spremno za pristupanje Europskoj uniji, kako normativno tako i u praksi. Analiza je usmjerena na aktivne politike tržišta rada jer su one jedna od najreprezentativnijih mjera socijalnog ulaganja u ovom području. Posebno se analiziraju dvije specifične mjere: takozvane naknade za majke i pripravnički program. Analiza pokazuje da Crna Gora ima dobru polazišnu točku u pogledu zakonskog okvira, ali u praksi nema socijalnog ulaganja. ; The paper analyses the developments of the labour market policies in Montenegro from the perspective of social investment. Montenegro is a candidate country for the European Union membership and there is a need of harmonisation of normative framework. Social investment is gaining considerable attention of EU policy makers and is positioned highly on the social policy agenda. Consequently, the paper examines whether Montenegrin labour market performs in the similar fashion as in the EU. The aim of the research is to show whether Montenegrin labour market will be ready for the accession, both normatively and in practice. Active labour market policies are in the focus of the paper, as they are one of the most representative social investment measures in this policy area. There is also an analysis of two specific policies: so called "mothers' allowances" and the "apprentice programme". This analysis shows that Montenegro has a good starting point in terms of the legal framework it has enacted, but in practice, social investment is not present.

In 1924, the self-taught artist Iurii Nikolaevich Rozhkov created a series of photomontages inspired by Vladimir Maiakovskii's poem "To the Workers of Kursk" and the geological discovery of the Kursk Magnetic Anamoly (KMA). Rozhkov's series for Maiakovskii's ode to labor is both an example of the political propaganda of the reconstruction period of the NEP era and a polemical answer to all those who relentlessly attacked Maiakovskii and criticized avant-garde art as alien to the masses. The article introduces Rozhkov's less-known photomontage series as a new model of the avant-garde photopoetry book, which offers a sequential reading of Maiakovskii's poem and functions as a cinematic dispositive of the early Soviet agitprop apparatus (dispositif). Bošković argues that the photopoem itself converts into an idiosyncratic avant-garde de-mountable memorial to the working class: a dynamic cine-dispositive through which the the early agitprop apparatus is realized in lived experience, reproduced, and transformed, thus delineating its shift towards the newdispositifof the late 1920s—socialist realism.

Despite the fact that the term "globalization" has been present in anthropology and neighboring disciplines only since around 1990, it has spawned an impressive range of books, journal articles and academic conferences. Globalization can be studied in its economic, political, ecological, or cultural aspects, and there is a rich scholarly literature, much of it interdisciplinary, dealing with the subject. The present chapter focuses on the construction of ethnic/ national identities - especially taking into account the current migrant crisis in Europe, but also some recent political events (like the "Brexit" referendum in the UK), on the relationship between globalization and multiculturalism, as well as on the media influence in creating a global public opinion with certain types of values and orinetations.
