„Нека је женско, али биће гуслар”– идеологија једног инструмента
“It Does Not Matter That She is a Female, She Will Be a Gusle Player” – The Ideology Of An Instrument

Summary/Abstract: Within the theoretical and methodological framework based on the concept of the ideology of tradition, I analyze a wide and complex repertoire of attitudes toward female gusle players. Aside from the techniques of representation demonstrated in scientifi c discourses, I examine the status of female gusle players by assessing the material obtained during several years of fi eld researches (the “male” perspective), and I also refer to the public (media) discourse, acknowledging the characteristics of media and popular culture. The “researcher’s voice” is also interpreted as part of a discourse on the ideology of tradition.
