Who Defines Magic? Reflections on Witchcraft, Scholarship, and the Case of the Croatian Krsnik
This paper examines disciplinary tensions surrounding the definition and interpretation of magic, which sprung out of a debate during a PhD dissertation proposal and is based on the ethnographic and historical case of the Croatian krsnik. Drawing on both historical and anthropological perspectives, it argues that the concept of magic cannot be employed generically but must be understood contextually and relationally – as a product of discourse, a…
Koga je sve Antun Radić učinio „drugim“ u svojoj Osnovi
Rad propituje ulogu Osnove Antuna Radića u kontekstu oblikovanja kulturnih granica i nacionalnoga identiteta krajem 19. stoljeća. Analizom teorijskoga i empirijskoga dijela Osnove, autor pokazuje kako su Radićeva pitanja u Osnovi oblikovala percepciju „drugih“ – od građanstva, Roma i Židova do siromašnih, pojedinih žena i drugih „rđavih“ i marginalnih pojedinaca i grupa u „narodu“. Autor pokazuje kako Radićeva Osnova tako djeluje kao alat ne samo…

The research focuses on the relationship between folklore and the belief systems woven into the traditions of rural communities with varying demographic structures, historical experiences, cultural identities, and soc…
U potrazi za mogutom ili o mogućim transformacijama jednog tradicijskog vjerovanja
U radu autor istražuje tradicijsko vjerovanje u nadnaravno biće mogut koje se javlja na području Turopolja. Budući da o tom vjerovanju postoji samo jedan rad koji je 1953. godine objavio Drago Chloupek, autor je proveo nova terenska istraživanja u Turopolju u jesen 2021. godine. Tijekom istraživanja nije pronašao jasna vjerovanja o mogutima koji mogu letjeti, boriti se s drugim mogutima u oblacima ili u šumi pretvoreni u svinje, nego samo svjedoč…
The Supernatural Beings of Belief Legends – Old Fears in a New Context
This paper examines the use of belief legends about witches, werewolves, and fairies at open-air festivals in Croatia today. At such events, traditions based on belief legends are invented with the idea of enriching local tourism not only as a source of income but also as a medium through which they portray their local identity. Additionally, the author argues that the concept of fear plays a significant role in the entire process. Visitors face …
What is “Real” in Believing in Supernatural Beings? The Informant’s Cut Što je “stvarno” u vjerovanju u nadnaravna bića. Kazivačeva verzija
Recent field research into traditional beliefs in supernatural beings (werewolves, fairies, witches, and mòras) among the inhabitants of the Dalmatian hinterland has shown that such beliefs are still present within certain groups. This fact opens up a possibility of asking present-day informants different kinds of questions, not often asked in folkloristic and ethnological research conducted in these regions. First and foremost, these refer to th…
