It has to do with raising awareness among various stakeholders about the need to change food politics, regarding not only securing enough amounts of food to feed the growing world population (food security) but also the most ethical means of achieving this goal (food sovereignty). This awareness resulted in small but growing changes of consumption practices of individuals and their growing interest in being How to cite this book chapter:

Since we are living in a period marked by the economic and political changes which emerged after European unification, a call for a new analysis of heterogeneity, cultural difference and issues of belonging is not surprising. This call has been fuelled by the European Union\u27s concern with »culture« as one of the main driving forces for constructing »European identity«. While the official European policy describes European culture as common to all Europeans, Europe is also seen as representing »unity in diversity«. By analysing contemporary European MEDIA policies and programs this article attempts to contribute to a small but growing body of work that explores what role »language« and »visual images« play in the process of constructing European culture and supranational European id...

Our research question focused on fi nding the advantages and obstacles of short supply chains (SSCs) which could help in directing future civil and institutional engagement and support of SSCs. We also considered the policy context through a brief overview of actual policy documents regarding SSCs. A mixed methodology was applied with data collected through an online survey and semi-structured interviews. Th e research was carried out in November and December 2020. Th e survey included two subsamples, farmers and institutions, while the semi-structured interviews were carried out among members of the "Najbolje lokalno" SSC. Th e online survey results showed that our participants-farmers and institutions-are highly interested in SSCs but lack educational courses which would help them establish more SSCs or support them in a more adequate manner. Farmers were found to be highly satisfi ed with their participation in SSCs as they gained new skills, valuable feedback, and fair prices for their products through participation in SSCs. Th e semi-structured interviews revealed a more in-depth farmers' experience with specifi c SSCs. Institutional participants hold SSCs as essential for social, economic, and environmental viability. Food sovereignty in Croatia has been developing mostly through civil society, and more recently institutional support is also emerging. In striving to make the food system more local and suitable to the needs of local farmers, citizens, and local communities, these same institutions should address the weak points of administrative obstacles to make food sovereignty values become more than just an exotic example of alternative practice but also a part of the local communities' systems.

Autori na primjeru istraživackog rada (a danas je gotovo nezamislivo da se on odvija izvan okvira nekog projekta) u ruralnim krajevima (kojima se također pristupa projektno, pogotovo u kontekstu ruralnog i održivog razvoja) propituju mogucnost drustveno angažiranijeg pristupa u okviru etnologije i kulturne antropologije, odnosno humanistickih znanosti opcenito. Pozivajuci se i na tradiciju drustvenog angažmana etnologije, autori smatraju da je upravo angažman etnologa i drugih znanstvenika na takvim projektima prilika za angažiranu etnologiju, koja nece zazirati od konkretne primjene svojih rezultata.

It is a part of national language planning oriented terminology management for the Croatian language, and as such it is focused solely at the production of a terminographic database. The major difficulties encountered during the procedural stages of the project are outlined, such as the wide range of the interdisciplinary field of anthropology, including concepts and terms from natural and social sciences and humanities, as well as polysemy and fuzzy boundaries between the lexicon of the general language and specialized language. On the basis of several examples, we argue that terminography should be dealt with primarily by keeping in mind the range of its subsequent applications the aim of which is not only ontological, but also communicative in nature, and that functional pragmatic approach offers a more flexible framework for ...

During the past decades, along with the process of joining the European Union, a lot has been done to promote Zagreb as a typical Central European city, implying the natural belonging of Zagreb (and Croatia) to the „real“ or Western Europe. This paper analyses visual and textual representations of Zagreb in tourist promotional materials focusing on the multicultural Austro-Hungarian heritage and its role as a symbolic resource used in the process of urban identity building. It provides an insight into the discursive practices of heritage selection and cultural representation, through which local identification with this heritage ranges from (implicitly) neutral to overtly positive. Any dissonant heritage with negative connotations is absent, thus providing an idyllic, harmonious Austro-Hungarian pas...

In this paper the author tries to deconstruct the way of presenting the available cultural heritage in Pula as European, but provides the opinions of the tourists themselves as well as the opinions of the local inhabitants.
