The photographs exhibited as part of the Camera Asiatica photography exhibition are part of the private photographic collection of the author, anthropologist Maria Vivod, and were taken in Vietnam in 2015. Along the paths of scientific works of the Hungarian anthropologist Gàbor Vargyas, an internationally recognized expert for the Bru ethnic group, M. Vivod travelled to the central massifs of Vietnam, all the way to the city of Lao Bao on the border between Laos and Vietnam.

self-image is created, establishing a relation between the
‘Observed’ - ‘the Other’ and the ‘Observer’. A political
myth, in its every-day form, as a political story about the
‘rotten West’, the ‘decadent, old Europe’ which is facing a
chaste, uncorrupted Serbia, is propagated in public, as well
as in private sphere and making a ‘obsessive-compulsive
nightmare’ of the Serbian community.
(Biasio 2007), the Maiden of Finland (Aura), the Maiden of Kosovo for Serbia, the French
Marianne, etc.). In this case, this virtuous maiden that was so promptly seduced by the
powerful bull is an embodiment of a continent. There is also a possible Semitic origin of the
word Europa in Akkadian erebu ‘to go down, set’ with reference to the sun, which would
correspond to the orient (http:// www. etymonline. com). Jürgen Fischer (1956), in Oriens-
Occidens-Europa, offers an explanation of how the name Europe came into use, replacing
the oriens–occidens dichotomy of the late Roman Empire, which signified a divided empire:
Latin in the West and Greek in the East.
Together, this maiden joining the two ”halves” of a later empire and a bull representing
financial power make a symbolic statement of the united Europe – or the manner in
which it wishes to be perceived. This symbolism contains both female and male attributes,
which together make a perfect entity.

This manuscript’s ambition is to reveal the entangled liaisons between professional criminals, organized crime group members and the Serbian state security trough the analysis of individual narratives of insiders - former paramilitaries, professional criminals and organized crime group members. It scrutinizes the social and the cultural conditions which made the phenomenon of such swift social climbing of the once marginalized in a society, possible.

Which are the images that the author can cut out and how to do it?
I would like to analyze examples taken from my fieldwork experience: through the examples I will explain the choice of my filmed subjects, and how I have selected the 'right' sequences for the final cut. What guided my choices? Which were the critics of my fellow colleagues? I will also mention some of the feedbacks, the reactions obtained from the filmed individuals or communities after showing them the final cut.

disinformation, etc. These phenomena are seen as threats coming from state actors who are able to use the semiotic nature of culture to influence the collective consciousness of specific groups. The panel would like to present contributions from various scientific fields on the interaction between concepts such as conflict, violence, and warfare and semiotics, using a variety of research methods. The
exploration of semiotic fields and divergences between them provides a better understanding of the fundamental laws that constitute the semiotic load (or semiotic features) of each cultural area. Thus, the implications of such reasoning potentially allow for a better management of those social connections which control the interaction between diverse cultural regions of friction. The panel therefore invites various contributions which explore conflict and its connotations, such as armed conflict, propaganda, disinformation, conflict settlement, peace negotiations, violence, and violence deterrence. Eventually, the goal is to analyse the semiotic nature of given cultures and cultural flows and their influence on the
collective consciousness, patterns of behaviour, and identity creation.
