Med univerzalizmom in pluralizmom: Etnografske reprezentacije in identifikacijske prakse v prostoru Alpe-Jadran
Razprava preučuje strategije pisanja, retorična vprašanja in opisne sloge v etnografskih besedilih 19. stoletja z območja Alpe–Jadran v okviru Habsburškega cesarstva. Na podlagi štirih primerov – kritik s Koroške, historiografije Avstrijskega primorja, nacionalizacije etnografije na Kranjskem ter sintetičnih del, kot sta Rudolfov Kronprinzenwerk in Vivantejev Irredentismo Adriatico – analizira, kako so retorične prakse krmarile med imperialnim po…
Ethnographic Descriptions of "Land und Leute" in the Alps-Adriatic Region in the 19th Century
Ethnographic accounts from the 19th century, including "Land und Leute", statistical reports and travelogues, provide insight into how ethnographers (broadly defined) presented and investigated the transformations occurring in the multicultural Alps-Adriatic region. An examination of these documents elucidates "in-between" practices among diverse languages and cultures, and facilitates an exploration of how individuals negotiated complex national…

Protected Areas on the Slovenian–Hungarian Border: A Place and Space of Nature and Culture
Őrség National Park (440 square kilometers) in Hungary was established in 2002, and Goričko Nature Park in Slovenia (462 square kilometers) in 2003. Both protected areas encompass regions that were purportedly “forgotten” by progress – on the margins – but are now considered idyllic landscapes with rich cultural history and a high level of biodiversity, which have the potential to function as centers for regional sustainable development
Cultural Heritage of the Great War
The First World War-also known as the Great War, which lasted from 1914 to 1918-left a significant mark on the twentieth century. It radically changed the demographic composition of Europe (about seventeen million people were killed), resulted in the dissolution of four empires (Austria-Hungary, Russia, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire), had a crucial impact on European values, inspired the search for the new man during the interwar period, and ul…
Introduction: The Cultural Heritage of the Isonzo Front
One of the greatest, most tragic, and largely overlooked campaigns during the First World War was the Isonzo Front, which ran through an area inhabited by an ethnic Slovenian majority and, in the part along the southern reaches of the Isonzo River, by Italians, Friulians, and Germans. The region was part of the pact between the Triple Entente and Italy, which declared war on Austria-Hungary in 1915. This was a territory that is believed to have b…
Utopija Evropa – Pogled od zunaj in od znotraj. Približevanja
V projektu Utopija Evropa. Pogled od zunaj vs. pogled od znotraj je bilo eno osnovnih vprašanj misliti in razumeti možnosti Evrope kot utopičnega imaginarija in projekta, ki je nastal v zamislih očetov, predvsem Roberta Schumana in Jeana Monneta. V projektu je fokus tako na zgodovini in tvornosti utopične imaginacije, na dilemah in različno zasnovanih utopijah samih družbenopolitičnih sistemov, vprašanju mostov ali meja in skupin, ki jih snujejo,…
Leaders and Heroes of the Nation
This thematic issue of Traditiones is dedicated to heroes and national leaders, and is mainly compiled from papers presented at a conference in Ljubljana in December 2013. The publication of these papers in 2014 presents an opportunity to remember the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the First World War and at the same time offers a framework for reflections on how individual leaders in Europe or on its margins influenced and guided the …
Europe: Imagination and Practices. Introduction I
The EU constitutional crisis has shown how "Europe" is far from being a homogeneous entity. It is a mix of countries both large and small, old and new, that perceive and present themselves in different ways, and use different culturallyconstructed strategies and tactics in relation to an imagined "Europeanness." Based on concrete practices between an EU member state and a non-member state, the author discusses Eurocentrism and the relations betwe…
Presidents and Their Speeches at National Commemorations
Presidents, prime ministers, and similar leaders occupy a special place among heroes and celebrities. They are special in many ways, not least because their privileged position, attained through a general or parliamentary elections, already places them at the center of public discourse. This allows them—and at the same time requires them—to express their opinions on a broad range of topics, events, and other issues. A previously “ordinary” indivi…

V razpravah, objavljenih v reviji Traditiones in drugod so raziskovalci in raziskovalke osvetlili nekatera ključna vprašanja in kul…

Political Rituals and Discourses: The Case of Carinthia
This article discusses selected ritual practices in Klagenfurt (Sln. Celovec), the capital of the southernmost Austrian state of Carinthia (Germ. Krnten). The first ritual is connected with October 10, when the 1920 plebiscite is commemorated on the streets of Klagenfurt. In this plebiscite, the majority of people voted for remaining a part of Austria, the successor state to Austria-Hungary. The second ritual is a more recent one, known as the Me…
Carinthian Political Rituals and Competing Discourses
Avtor razpravlja o nekaterih ritualnih praksah v južni Avstriji, v glavnem koroškem mestu Celovec – Klagenfurt. Prvi ritual je povezan z 10. oktobrom, ko se na celovških mestnih ulicah spominjajo in slavijo plebiscit leta 1920, na katerem je večina prebivalcev glasovala za Avstrijo, naslednico Avstro-Ogrske. Drugi ritual je novejši, poimenovan kot Gedenk-Gehen ali Spominska hoja. Pri tem analizira različne kulturne prakse, rabo simbolov, prostora…
Ethnography and Matija Majar
This article examines the research issues and personal problems faced by Matija Majar (a.k.a. Ziljski), one of the most important collectors of folk culture material in the mid-nineteenth century, his place among other researchers, his intentions, and, not least of all, the reception of his work among his contemporaries. *** V članku avtor obravnava raziskovalne dileme Matija Majarja Ziljskega, enega najpomembnejših zbiralcev sestavin ljudske kul…
Cultural and Social Representations on the Border: From Disagreement to Coexistence
Cultural and Social Representations on the Border: From Disagreement to Coexistence In the twentieth century, certain locations, symbols, and ritual practices along the Italian-Slovenian border were subject to various social and cultural representations. During that century, they primarily represented a subject of disagreement between both ethnic communities; however, in the last ten years, some groups and local authorities have been seeking oppo…
Perspectives on Rituality and Ritual Practices in Slovenia
Avtor analizira nekatere najznačilnejše poglede na ritualnost in na ritualne prakse na Slovenskem v zadnjih dveh stoletjih, vse do petdesetih, šestdesetih let preteklega stoletja, ko se s šegami in navadami začne raziskovalno ukvarjati Niko Kuret in ko številne ritualne prakse dobijo nove vloge in pomene. Osrednja pozornost velja raziskovalcem ritualnega, njihovim usmeritvam, težiščem in argumentaciji. Gre za vprašanje, katere plasti prebivalstva…
Between Part and Whole. Issues in Ethnological Research and Representation
Raziskovalec, ki se ukvarja z ljudsko kulturo ali načinom življenja ali kulturnimi objektivacijami ali empirično znanostjo o kulturi, ipd., se vedno spoprijema z vprašanjem, kako naj reprezentira t. i. celoto - totaliteto življenja neke skupnosti v danem okolju: katere izjave, katere informatorje naj izbere in predstavi. Avtor v razpravi analizira nekatere rešitve, značilne za slovenske narodopisne in etnološke spise med koncem 19. in sredo 20. s…

Gregor Krek and the Beginnings of Scholarly Research on the Culture of the Other
Avtor obravnava nekatera vprašanja Krekovega razmerja do drugega in do ljudske kulture, načenja vprašanja socializacije, razvoja strokovnih in znanstvenih žanrov in nacionalizacije spoznavnih, in s tem tudi znanstvenih praks. *** The author deals with certain issues of Krek's relationship to the Other and folk culture, and he addresses the issues of socialization, the development of expert's and scientific genres, and nationalization of the cogni…
On the Reception and Production of Harmony. Some Points of Departure Based on the Škoromati
Avtor razpravlja o dilemi, pred katero je (bil) postavljen pretekli in sodobni raziskovalec ljudskega življenja. Mnogi izvajalci ponujajo raziskovalcu harmonično, idealnotipsko podobo ritualne prakse, s katero želijo opozoriti na preteklo harmonijo. Na ta način se lahko raziskovalec ujame v podobe sveta, s katerimi izvajalec oblikuje vaško identiteto in s katerimi zamrzne čas; na drugi strani pa lahko raziskovalec odkrije kontekst neravnin, znotr…
Ljudstvo mora spoznati sebe: Podobe Narodopisja v Drugi Polovici 19. Stoletja
Knjiga obravnava nastajanje in oblikovanje narodopisja kot posebne in samostojne vede na Slovenskem in odpira vprašanja o tem, kako naj sodobni bralec razume dela, ki so v iskanju slovenstva in pomena kulture za narodovo samoopredelitev marsikdaj zamolčala informatorjevo izvirno govorico, in njegov jezik in občutja zapisala tako, da bi bila sprejemljiva mestno izobraženemu naslovniku. Z izhajanjem Kmetijskih in rokodelskih novic leta 1843 je lahk…
