| Summary: | This paper reviews the life and work of Srebrica Knežević (1930-2012) in
order to present her career, achievements and fields of study that she
contributed to. Special attention will be paid to the importance of her role
in pioneer research of folk medicine, nutrition and world ethnology, as well
as comprehension of the significance of interdisciplinary approach in
Serbian ethnology. Also, this paper will depict Srebrica Knežević as a
researcher loyal to her ethnographic field, therefore indicating the
compromises she had to make for her very frequent trips and researches.
Finally, I will speak of Srebrica Knežević as a lecturer and a professor who
adjusted her impressions for the classroom setting and her students, during
four decades of work at the Department of Ethnology and Anthropology of the
Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. As a gifted lecturer who implemented
innovations in the classroom, she is remembered as a creative, passionate
and dedicated professor, who brought distant topics and ethnographic fields
to life. The life and work of Srebrica Knežević are presented and analyzed
based on the relevant literature and conversations with her colleagues,
students, friends and family. |
