Review of Ethnological Research in Karlovačko Pokuplje Until Present Time

Summary/Abstract: The author has limited her review to the area by the Kupa river between Ribnik, Ozalj and Karlovac. In the 19th century, R. Lopašić and R. Strohal wrote about this region, while Laszowski wrote about Trg near Ozalj between the two wars. The village of Trg has been a popular place for ethnological research. In the 1930’s, Milovan Gavazzi made films there on jalba and on funeral processions on sleighs, and undertook fieldwork there with students from the Zagreb University. After the Second World War, the Yugoslav Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments (Belgrade) carried out research in Tig and published the monograph »The Village of Trg Near Ozalj« in 1969. In this collection, the topics of jalba (Gavazzi and Gabrič), of architectural monuments (M. Vajdič), dialect (Težak) and springtime rituals (Gavazzi and Sirola) are discussed. Pottery-making, basketry and local fairs were also researched. Contributors to the Yugoslav Ethnographic Atlas also worked in the Ozalj area. In 1983, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of SR Croatia in Zagreb carried out the most extensive research project thus far in this region. Rural architecture was studied in seventeen villages and about hundred objects were bought to be kept in three museums. After the completion of the research, the exhibit on »The Region of Ozalj« was prepared in 1984. The most successful outcome of the project was the establishment of an open-air enthnographic museum near Ozalj.
