The Contribution to the Traditional Heritage of Dalj in the Eastern Slavonia

Summary/Abstract: In the time when exiled people are returning to their native places in the Eastern Slavonia after the Patriotic war (1990s) the issues of coexistence and reconstruction, not only of demolished and deserted houses but also of an entire way of life, are drawn into ethnologic considerations. Dalj is one of the places that experienced serious hardships and changes during this war in the aspects of demography and the way of life. However, the structure of traditional values was changed mostly already after the Second World War which caused shifts and changes in demographic, economic and social relationships. The author is asking how to surpass the overall degradation of life in Dalj today. The experiences reveal that traditional values restore people’s confidence and identity, and that they are the core contents around which a road to future is possible to build. Ethnological studies are also a part of the task of reconstruction. This ethnological contribution to the history of Dalj emerges from the contacts between the author and the people from Dalj while they were in exile.
