Потрошња и идентитети у савременој Cрбији - Народне представе о богатству и сиромаштву

Потрошња и идентитети у савременој Cрбији - Народне представе о богатству и сиромаштву

Author(s): Ildiko Erdei / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The paper gives a broad outline of propositions for a research of folk perceptions of wealth and poverty within the framework of a wider research program investigating goods consumption in contemporary Serbia. Its introductory part spotlights the history of research work related to consumerinsm , and the basic issues and concepts forming up the theoretic grounds for consumerism research in anthropology. Consumerism emerged as a separate subject of research in the late 1970s with the publication of “ The World of Goods”, a book by Mary Duglas and Baron Isherwood, and was further established as such through several important books published during the 1980s. The characteristic feature of anthropological approach to the research of consumerism is the emphasis on its social and cultural aspects, and an observation of the symbolic and expressive qualities of consumerism . The paper reviews the most important concepts in the formative period of consumption anthropology, particularly the theoretic questions raised by Mary Duglas, Arune Apaduran and Daniel Miller. This is followed by a brief survey of works and topics which would make up the domestic (Serbian) ethnology/anthropology of consumption. The second part explains the meaning and usage, both in this paper and in the whole body of research, o f the key notions: wealth, poverty, folk perceptions. The closing part of the paper identifies several issues ensuing from a brief field research o f the folk perceptions o f wealth and poverty in the neighborhood of Knjaževac during 2002, and suggests possible directions of further work. The fieldwork has shown that the investigation of prosperity, of material and symbolic wealth, of labor as value, of traditional forms of succession and of ways of acquiring new riches can reveal the cultural perceptions of Knjaževac area dwellers and serve as an indication o f the social and cultural changes that are currently under way.

Обичаји животног циклуса верника српских православних парохија у Kалифорнији

Author(s): Gordana Blagojević / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

The life cycle folkways (baptism , wedding, monasticism, funeral rites) of the Serbs in California have to a considerable extent been influenced by the American way of life. The ceremony of baptising adults is carried out either in church or in improvized baptistries, or in pools within private homes or condom iniums. Weddings in church are extremely rare, and half of their total number is for heterogeneous marriages. The weddings in most cases take place on Saturdays and are preceded by a “dress-rehearsal” in church, where the participants practice the wedding arrangements. The funeral rites have been affected by the US laws, from the “beautification” of the deceased, to funeral time-schedule, to tom stone height. American monasticism within the framework of the Serbian Orthodox Church contributes to the spreading of the Serbian saints worship. The americanization of the people of faith is shaping, so to speak, the “americanization” of the ritual-religious practices.

Българският поведенчески стереотип — кимане с глава в знак на съгласие у гетите в Tristia на Овидий

Българският поведенчески стереотип — кимане с глава в знак на съгласие у гетите в Tristia на Овидий

Author(s): Atanas Orachev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The tenth elegy in the Fifth Book of “Sorrows” (Tristia 5.10), which Ovid wrote in 12th year AD, was repeatedly commented on and translated for historical, ethnic and literary purposes. Particularly, for Tristia 5.10.41—42 it was noted that “the text seems to be dubious” and such translations were offered that did not reflect the essence of that elegiac observation by the Roman poet. In 1975, Friedrich Hauben perceived the meaning and made an ethnographic parallel to point out that only Bulgarians and Greeks had the opposite use of a pan-European gesture system with head nodding expressing consensus or negation. However, the «ethnic stereotype» described by Ovid is characteristic only for the Bulgarians in Europe, and when registering an approving head nod (top-down) or turning it left and right (as a sign of denial) in present Turkey, Macedonia and Albania, we must seek for the ancient substrate (the presence of similar substrates in India also requires further research). The Getaic head nodding as a consensus for now has no other explanation except for the fact that the Getae, like the other Thracian communities, had not “disappeared”, but what is more, made a significant contribution to the evolution of the Bulgarians as an ethnic group. Against the background of the available evidence and futility of the German thesis of Völkertode of the “ancient peoples”, however paradoxical it sounds, there is literally no need to prove that the Getae and the Dacians were the main part of those North Thracian peasant communities, which in the written documents from the end of the 6th century AD on began to be designated in Greek as Σκλάβήνοι or Σκλαύηνοι, while in Latin — Sclaueni, Sclavi, Sclauini.

The Oldest Traditions of Dance

Author(s): Martina Pavlicová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In the realm of intangible phenomena in traditional culture, thoughts about autochthony can be directed towards dance, even though the study of this subject in historic periods isa complicated problem in ethnochoreology. There are very few historic documents about dance, and the ones that doexist provide only partial information, which does not enable many concrete conclusions about this comprehensive cultural phenomenon.

External Influences

Author(s): Roman Doušek / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The early 20th century brought a new perspective in the study of folk culture. The Swiss folklorist Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer (1864–1936) was one of the first representatives of this change when he pointed out that “folk does not produce, it reproduces”. The German folklorist Hans Naumann (1886–1951) in particular evolved this thesis into a theory about decayed cultural values.

In terms of how the rural and small-town populations earned their livelihood, the repeated penetration by external impetuses can be observed in the example of the organization of handmade production.

Peddlery

Author(s): Daniel Drápala / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The principles of cultural integrity can be recognized in the operation of some specific professions as well. During the 18th century, there was a gradual increase in the volume of clerical work dealing with peddlery, especially peddling trade, in Central Europe. The state administration and the bureaucratic apparatus of lower degrees simply responded to the fact that villages and towns were visited nearly daily by peddlers offering goods or services.

Çoklu Kültürün Bir İfade Biçimi Olarak Çalgıcı Romanlar

Author(s): Tuncay Aras / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Müzik, çingenelerin hayatında farklı boyutlara sahip bir olgudur. Müzik üzerine olan yetenekleri doğrultusunda sanata bakış açıları değişik şekillerde olmuş ve bu yeteneklerini geçimlerini temin etmek adına çok iyi kullanmışlardır. “Dünyada Çingeneler üzerine araştırma yapan bilim adamlarının genel kanaati dünyadaki hiçbir etnik gurubun, Çingeneler kadar müzik zevki ve kabiliyetinin olmadığı doğrultusundadır. Dünyanın dört bir yanına dağılmış olan Çingeneler, son derece ilginç toplumsal bir mozaik yapı oluşturmaktadırlar. Çingenelerin müziklerini, dansları, gelenek ve göreneklerini çok iyi tanıdıktan sonra; bambaşka bir dünyanın insanları olarak ne kadar insancıl bir yapıda oldukları anlamamak imkânsızdır” (Sal, 2009, s.72).

BÖLÜM IV TARİH, SANAT ve GÖÇ - Çerkes Sürgününü Müzik ve Dans Eşliğinde Yeniden Düşünmek

Author(s): Sümeyye Aydın / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

Göç tecrübesi esnasında insanların gelenek ve kültürel dünyalarından ayrı koyamadıkları şeylerden biri de müzik ve dans pratikleridir. Toplumlar kendi müzik dünyalarını kültürel unsurlarla sıkıca örülmüş bir halde inşa ederler. Bu durumda müziğin toplumsal olanı şekillendiren birçok işlevinin yanı sıra aynı zamanda o topluluğa aidiyeti ifade eden bir “anlatı” oluşturduğu ifade edilebilir. Öyle ki bu anlatı sayesinde insanlar bir araya gelebilir, bir şeyler paylaşabilir ve hayatları boyunca ters giden şeyler karşısında birçok şeye “yeniden” başlayabilirler. Bu anlamda göç kavramının özellikle yersiz yurtsuzluğu, arada kalmışlığı anımsatan anlam dünyasına karşılık müzik insanlar için bir tür ortak bir anlam dünyasının anlatısına dönüşmektedir. Böylece göç ve müzik arasındaki ilişkide özellikle müzik, geleneğin taşınması, dönüştürülmesi ve canlı bir pratik olarak güncellenmesi noktasında temel bir anlam dünyasının üretilmesinde ve pratik hale getirilmesinde kritik bir yerde durmaktadır.

Алтернативните образователни методи и ролята на етнолога в тях по примера на един проект в село Аспарухово

Author(s): Svoboda Stoeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This paper describes some methods and ideas that could lead to a better understanding of the “other” and the “otherness” if applied in the school system. The fiеld is a school project from 2012 named “Asparuhovo – Future for the Folklore World”. Almost every year since 2008, children from the National High School for Humanitarian Sciences and Arts “Konstantin Preslavski” (city of Varna) visit Asparuhovo. The main idea of the project is to create a bridge between generations and cultures. Every year the children have specific topics, ideas and aims during their stay there. Most of them are related to traditional problems of Ethnology, such as “how to understand others and the values of otherness?”, “how to communicate with people that are very different from us?”, “how to gather information, how to analyze and realize it?” etc. M.A. students from the Ethnology department of the University of Plovdiv have been invited to help the participants in the project. This article describes the approach that we, in our role as “trainers” use to give the children a better understanding of different problems in the field.

Savremena porodica i tradicija

Savremena porodica i tradicija

Author(s): Merima Čamo / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

Porodica kao jedna od najstarijih i najznačajnijih odgojnih snaga u društvu, koja uspješno i dosljedno obavlja reprodukciju ljudskog karaktera kakve zahtijeva društveni život, dugo je bila otok smiraja usred turbulencija izazvanih agensima socijalne dinamike. Kada o porodici promišljamo na kolokvijalnoj razini, nerijetko ovaj primarni model naše svakodnevnice koji živimo, u kojem učestvujemo, koji stvaramo i čiji smo ravnopravni članovi svodimo na općeprihvaćenu neophodnost, bezupitnost, samorazumljivost i sveprisutnost.

Analyse des personnages de contes comme culturèmes et unités de traduction

Author(s): Alina Pelea / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

As part of a more extensive research on the cultural aspects of the translation of folktales, our paper tackles the issue of folktales characters’ names from the perspective of their status as culturemes and translation units. We identify here a series of cultural and linguistic features. Their role is to highlight the full meaning of these names and thus provide a relevant tool both for the translator and the researcher undertaking descriptive translation studies. Our suggested analysis model is completed by examples of translation from Romanian into French.

Proizvođenje Stare Srbije: stopama putopisca, tragom folklora

Proizvođenje Stare Srbije: stopama putopisca, tragom folklora

Author(s): Srđan Atanasovski / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

In this paper I analyse the travelogues from Old Serbia, which were a developed literary genre in Serbia at the end of the long nineteenth century, as a mechanism of vindicating the territorial claims of the discourse of Serbian nationalism. In the period when the portrayed lands were under Ottoman rule and deemed inaccessible to most of the Serbian population, which regarded them as the core of their national territory, these travelogues were unique way for the public to gain first-hand information about these lands. After a brief historical overview of the development of the genre, I analyse the literary mechanism through which these lands were efficiently labeled as Serbian. I particularly discuss the importance of scientific data copiously provided in the travelogues, on the issues of languages, customs, etc.

The paper follows the means that formed Janáček´s originál compositional technique. It comes from the environment of Janáček´s birthplace (Hukvaldy), its dialect and musical folklore. He follows Janáček as a collector of moravian folklore, studying tunes and rhytmhs of speach.

Hence his radical neofolklorism applicable to stage and concert works, which promarily do not contain the charakteristic features of the creative folklore orientation.

DOMÁCÍ BOŽSTVA

DOMÁCÍ BOŽSTVA

Author(s): Zuzana Russeová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Posvátno hrálo roli v tradiční čínské kultuře už od nepaměti. Souznění čínského myšlení a značné dávky pragmatismu vede Číňany k využití veškerých cest a prostředků vedoucích k vytouženému cíli – tedy k harmonickému a spokojenému životu rodiny, potažmo i jednotlivce. K dosažení tohoto cíle je mimo jiné zapotřebí přispění božstev na nebesích i v záhrobí, duší předků i vnitřní substance předmětů, které má každý Číňan denně kolem sebe. Tradiční čínský světonázor je kombinací nejstarších kosmologických představ, kultu předků, konfuciánství, taoismu, buddhismu i materialismu. Toto vše se po staletí vzájemně mísilo a doplňovalo o další složky, čímž vznikla synkretická víra, označovaná jako „čínské lidové náboženství“
