| Abstract | Tradicijska je kultura zbroj duhovnih, materijalnih i socijalnih vrijednosti koje pojedini narod baštini.
Ona određuje narod, odnosno čini ga prepoznatljivim u odnosu na druge. Kulturnu baštinu hrvatskoga
naroda obilježava kršćanski nauk, a posebno su zanimljivi i vrijedni crkveno-pučki običaji u kojima se
on sažima s ostacima poganstva. U ovom je radu naglasak na običajima koji se izvode u Velikom tjednu,
a vezani su za pasiju, odnosno posljednje Isusove dane. Uz već zapisane običaje, molitve, pjesme donose
se i novi zapisi s terena koji se interpretiraju u katoličkom, biblijskom, etnološkom i antropološkom
kontekstu. Drugi dio rada odnosi se na zavičajnu baštinu hrvatskih iseljenika u SAD-u, točnije u
kalifornijskom gradu Watsonvilleu. Riječ je o jezičnoj i tradicijskoj zajednici Konavljana koja je nekoć
bila vrlo snažna, pa se uvriježio naziv Male Konavle. Ipak, u dosadašnjim istraživanjima zajednica je
ostala zanemarena. Stoga je cilj ovoga rada utvrditi njezinu vitalnost kao poticaj budućim istraživanjima. |
| Abstract (english) | Traditional culture is the sum of spiritual, material and social values that a nation inherits. It determines
the people, and in a eay makes them recognizable in relation to others. The cultural heritage of the
Croatian people is marked by Christian doctrine, and especially interesting and valuable are the churchfolk customs in which are summed up with the remnants of paganism. In this paper, the emphasis is on
the customs performed during Holy Week, which are related to the Passion, the last days of Jesus life.
In addition to the already written customs, prayers, songs, new records are brought from the field, which
are interpreted in Catholic, biblical, ethnological and anthropological contexts. The second part of the
paper deals with the native heritage of Croatian emigrants in the USA, more precisely in the California
city of Watsonville. It is a linguistic and traditional community of Konavle that was once very strong,
so the name Mala Konavle became common. However, in the research so far, the community has
remained neglected. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine its vitality as an incentive for future
research. |
