Abstract
IN ENGLISH: This article employs an anthropology ‘at-home’ approach to discuss dimensions of social and cultural changes amongst women in post-transitional societies. By applying person-centred ethnography, we aim to provide rich insights into the socio-cultural context and individual development of a young woman in Croatia. We examine how a young woman reasons about what kind of a person she is and wants to become by comparing the different sets of basic values that she ascribes to her emancipatory efforts, with a focus on how she juxtaposes ‘traditional family roles’ and ‘feminist values’. The article thus describes how this woman (Jadranka) experiences life challenges and shapes social values in her everyday cultural settings. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U ovom radu autorice raspravljaju o dimenzijama društvenih i kulturnih promjena među ženama u posttranzicijskim društvima koristeći tzv. pristup "antropologije kod kuće". Primjenom etnografije usmjerene na jednu osobu nastoji se pružiti bogat uvid u sociokulturni kontekst i individualni razvoj mlade žene u Hrvatskoj. Opisuju se njezina razmišljanja o vlastitoj osobnosti te osobnim težnjama uspoređujući dimenzije društvenih vrijednosti prožetim vlastitim emancipatorskim naporima, s naglaskom na suprotstavljanje 'tradicionalnih obiteljskih uloga' i 'feminističkih vrijednosti'. Rad tako opisuje kako mlada žena (Jadranka) proživljava različite životne izazove i oblikuje društvene vrijednosti u svom svakodnevnom kulturnom okruženju.
