Using the Emic–Etic Distinction to Understand the Medieval Christian Interpretations of Slavic Pagan Religion

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article experimentally applies anthropological perspectives to ancient European religions, focusing on Slavic pre-Christian beliefs. It aims to offer nuanced analytical tools and a reflective framework to interpret these religions, primarily by examining how Christian sources portray Slavic paganism and discussing the emic–etic distinction’s advantages and limitations. The article categorizes the strategies employed by medieval Christian writers in their writings and summarizes the emic–etic debate in the study of religion and its connection with the insider–outsider debate. In evaluating these sources and the religious systems they describe, the author suggests that both insider and outsider perspectives contain inherent emic and etic aspects. The proposed “acad-etic” position encourages acknowledging modern academic presuppositions that may influence understanding the data. The article underscores the need for a holistic approach, considering historical and social contexts and the discursive strategies used in describing ancient religions.
