Hasanaginica under the Rataja tower

Apstrakt

The motif of the ballad Hasaginica is continu ously present in a wide range of interest spheres of research and scientific activity on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the region, but also in European literary and artistic circles. This claim is confirmed in the first written traces, which position this artistic oral creation in its territorial, temporal, ethnographic, national and literary-historical determinations. This paper will attempt to present the interest spheres of Bosniak groups of prominent families in which young avant-garde intellectuals emerged, whose ideas about the inheritance of culture and tradi tion were completely innovative. The task is to achieve engagement and launch activities initiated within the framework of innovative projects in the popularization of cultural activi ties, especially in the localities of the still very conservative and patriarchal environment of the bey families in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although it is an amateur attempt to dramatize the most famous Bosnian ballad, Hasanaginica, (which is not a rare case), the focus of the re search is on the initiative of a dramaturgical treatment of the ballad prepared by a Bosniak woman in the 1930s.
