Abstract
From a disciplinary angle, horror could be viewed as a more imaginative,
illegitimate brother of anthropology, or rather, its more poetic, kindred soul.
Much like horror, the anthropological way of thinking is preoccupied by matters
of the alien, the otherworldly, the hidden and the marginal. The two angles of
viewing people and their world intersect in a number of common issues, starting
with questions of the body and embodiment, through the relationship between
an individual and the community and the community toward otherness, to the
basic questions of people’s spiritual and posthumous lives. Yet, horror as a specific
artistic genre has not been researched enough within an anthropological
framework, perhaps because it offers artistic and not strictly scientific answers
to questions posed by anthropology.
In this thematic issue of Issues in Ethnology and Anthropology, for the first
time in Serbian anthropology an opportunity arose to publish a collection of
scientific texts about the horror genre in one place. Authors who generously
submitted their papers for this thematic issue have shown that horror stories can
be interpreted in a number of ways which demand a degree of interdisciplinarity,
but without ever leaving the familiar framework of the anthropological focus.
However, the analysis of horror stories is not common within our discipline.
