Tekstualna konstrukcija svetog mjesta na primjeru predaje o slici Gospe s Kondžila
U ovom članku pokušao sam analizirati sve dostupne zapise o sagi o Gospinoj slici iz Kondžila. Na osnovu njihove tekstualne i kontekstualne analize pokušao sam ponuditi neke nove uvide. Prema podjeli usmene književnosti Vlajka Palavestre, saga o slici Bogorodice iz Kondžila pripada tematskoj grupi istorijsko-religijskih saga. Priča počinje 7. septembra 1779. godine kada je biskup Mark Dobretić posjetio Komušinu. Ovo je prvi pisani zapis o pomazan…

Religious Pilgrimage as a Tourist Attraction
Focusing on maritime pilgrimages to the Madonna of the Reef in Perast (Montenegro) and the Madonna of Zečevo in Nin (Croatia), the authors explore how tourism-which has become the primary economic driver for local populations-has impacted these centuries-old and deeply religious sites and practices. Local religious and cultural heritage, which has evolved into a tourist attraction, is deeply integrated into the local way of life, particularly wit…
A Legend From Before You Were Born”
In this article, we focus on the folklore created by the players and communities of the critically acclaimed and popular Japanese role-playing game Final Fantasy VII (Square Enix, 1997). The formation of what we call Final Fantasy VII fan folklore is presented here as a mixture of the game's transmediality (with official walkthroughs and guidebooks) and elements of the game kept secret by the developers (as well as several false rumors), which we…
The geography of pilgrimage
In this article, we have analysed how natural features influenced the emergence of maritime pilgrimages in the Eastern Adriatic (three sites in Croatia and one in Montenegro). All researched locations are insular and dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Madonna). We applied a diverse methodology, including flying a drone and completing fieldwork and archival work studying old maps and documents. We believe that the geography of pilgrimages in these site…
Madonna of the Reef in Perast and the Fašinada Custom
This article is about the Fašinada custom. The Fašinada refers to the transporting of stones by boat from the coast to a small island named Madonna of the Reef in Perast, Montenegro. This custom both commemorates the finding of a miraculous painting of the Madonna on a reef in the sea, and it furthers the island's construction by piling stones on that reef. I consider issues of both representation and relationality linked to this site. These two …
The Historical Context of Boat Processions in Adriatic Maritime Pilgrimages
In this article, we argue that the different ritual structures of maritime pilgrimages result from the different historical backgrounds of each site. We have focused on two maritime pilgrimage sites in the Adriatic Sea: Nin, in contemporary Croatia (Northern Dalmatia), and Perast, in contemporary Montenegro (Kotor Bay). We compared these two locations and maritime pilgrimage processions because they have similar historical backgrounds (both were …
Marking the Resting Place with the Deceased
In this paper I tried, on the basis of available literature and newly discovered data, to indicate possible links among the practices of mirila, karsikko, and cross-tree. Using these comparisons I endeavor to show that the custom of marking the place of resting with the deceased is not specific to a narrow strip of Croatian hinterland and that, if we want to get to importantinsights about the custom of mirila, it will be necessary to expand the g…
The role of volunteers in pilgrimage studies
Given the predominantly secular approach towards religion by anthropologists and sociologists, we contend that a discussion of the researcher’s positionality with regard to faith and belief, as well as the autoethnographic approach in pilgrimage studies, is methodologically important. Drawing on years of volunteering at two pilgrimage sites, we explore what kind of methodological impact our role as volunteers and our private lives have had on bot…
Sacred records in the landscape
This paper discusses former burial rites which resulted in memorials known as mirila. It deals with the custom of marking a temporary resting-place while transporting a deceased person, which was prevalent in the north-eastern Adriatic hinterland, manifested in the erection of mortarless stone structures, the remains of which can still be found in the landscape. The paper considers the material and symbolic components of the cultural landscape th…
Oral Tradition Emplaced in the Landscape
In this paper, by analysing the folk tradition, available historical data, and archaeological excavations at the location of an emplaced tradition about the Franciscan monastery in the village of Skakava, Bosnia, the author demonstrates how a tradition inscribed or emplaced in a landscape can preserve the knowledge of the local community about a place long after physical remains have been destroyed
Prilog istraživanju običaja obilježavanja mjesta odmaranja s pokojnikom Contribution to the Research on the Custom of Marking the Resting Place with the Deceased
The term mirila in the literature involves the stone construction marking the resting place with the deceased. Karsikko, roughly, means “pruning of the tree”, but also denotes memorial inscription features on boards, on building walls or on rocks. Karsikko as a memorial to the place of resting with the deceased has the same function as a cross-tree. At sixteen sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are also records of the custom of incising the cr…
