Some aspects of family and social life in Kraljeva Sutjeska
This paper sets out various aspects of family and social life in the Kraljeva Sutjeska area from World War II to 2008. The research was based mainly on discussions with interviewees born in the early or mid 20th century. The paper consists of four thematic sections: the rural community, family structure, marriage and marital relations, and legal issues.
Intangible cultural heritage. Theoretical definition and current state of intangible cultural heritage protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina
This paper is one chapter from a master’s dissertation entitled “Models of presentation of the intangible cultural heritagewith a view to the development of cultural tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” in which the author examines the relations between models of presentation of the intangible cultural heritage (folklore festivals) and of cultural tourism development. It starts from the premise that models of presentation of the intangible cultural heritage are not only attractive but are an end in themselves, and that the fundamental aim of presenting the intangible cultural heritage is associated with the programmatic content rather than their organization. As a result, little attention is paid to increasing visitor numbers and other socio economic effects relating to the sustainable developmentof cultural tourism. With a view to demonstrating this premise, the study researched cultural policy and tourism in practice and the current state of intangible cultural heritage protection and presentation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with the country’s existing organized models of intangible cultural heritage presentation. This part of the dissertation sets out a definition of the intangible cultural heritage and its elements, along with models for the presentation of this type of heritage in line with the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Bosnia and Herzegovina signed the Convention in 2008, and in this connection the paper provides an overview of the statutory and institutional frameworks for the protection of this type of heritage. By signing the Convention, states parties seek to introduce into their statutory and institutional frameworks the best possible model for the protection and preservation of this form of cultural heritage, a model that Bosnia and Herzegovina has yet to identify.

Folk medicine and folk beliefs in Kraljeva Sutjeska
The paper is based on the material gathered during field research in 2008 as part of the project entitled Ethnological Folklore Studies of Kraljeva Sutjeska and Environs conducted by the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It seeks to supplement the material already gathered on folk medicine and folk beliefs and to determine the present-day view of the methods used in folk medicine.
Basic characteristics of textile articles in Prusac and Kraljeva Sutjeska
This paper sets out the results of short-term studies of textile articles in the Prusac and Kraljeva Sutjeksa areas. A few surviving examples were found of traditional household textiles (various linen textiles, or less commonly hemp, cotton or wool textiles, rugs, decorative articles and bed linen) or articles of clothing, as well as many contemporary household textiles, most of which were for interior decoration. In both areas, weaving various kinds of linen fabrics and woollen cloth for articles of clothing, as well as weaving and making household textiles, was still an everyday practice in the early and mid 20th century. During the latter half of the 20th century, new materials and techniques began to be used for hand-made articles, with embroidery and crochet now the principal techniques. Weaving became less common as people increasingly wore clothes of factory-made fabrics, but the traditional production of bed linen and floor rugs was maintained.
A view of the oral poetry of Prusac based on new material
This paper considers the poetic and folkloristic features of oral poems recorded in the latest ethnology and folklore studies of the Prusac area. The poetry consists of a few love poems and family, wedding, humorous and religious poems, but mainly of short, usually decasyllabic lyric couplets, known in the literature as “bećarac.” This paper also considers three fragments belonging to certain lyric narrative poems, and one ballad. The classification of the poems is based on the poetic features (principally their themes and motifs) of the recorded material.
The paper sets out the historical development of the haberdashers’ craft in Sarajevo. Separate sections describe the way haberdashery articles were made, the tools used in the process, the materials used, and the types of haberdashery articles produced. It also deals with how the craft was learned and with women haberdashers, and concludes with a list of names of haberdashers in the early 20th century.

Contribution to knowledge of the economic situation in Prusac in the twentieth century
The purpose of this paper is to present certain details of the economic situation in Prusac in the twentieth century. The data was obtained in 2008 during an ethnological study by experts from the Ethnology Department of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research was con ducted during a two-week period in Prusac by direct obser vation and interviews. The informants were mainly older people whose memories extended back to the period between the two world wars. This ethnological folklore research of Prusac was the first of its kind in this old town, which is rich in history. This, and the hospitality of its residents, contributed to the extensive data on various aspects of life in Prusac gathered during the research, which was designed as a field study.
Osnovu ovog priloga čine usmene predaje zabilježene u Prus cu tokom terensko-istraživačkog rada, koji je obavljen u dva navrata 2008. i 2009. godine. Kroz rad se nastoji ukazati na lokalne specifičnosti usmenih predaja ovog prostora, ali i na njihovu uklopljenost u međunarodno raširene teme i motive.

Odjeci svjetovne i duhovne muzičke prakse prusačkog kraja u savremenom dobu
Prusac je jedno od rijetkih mjesta u Bosni i Hercegovini za koje se može reći da je zadržalo odlike tradicijskog življenja u kojem brzina savremenog života nije u velikoj mjeri potisnula uvriježene kulturne obrasce. I danas, u 21. stoljeću, Prusac je mjesto koje se po svojim karakteristikama ne može nazvati ni gradom ni selom. To je homogena sredina sa stopostotnim muslimanskim stanovništvom među kojim je raširena religijska praksa. S obzirom na dominirajući religijski element, na ovom području je razvijena duhovna muzička praksa, čemu značajan podsticaj daje i Ajvatovica – najznačajniji i najveći događaju na ovom području. Pored duhovne muzičke prakse, u Pruscu i okolini se gaji i svjetovna muzička praksa, čija se prisutnost može pratiti kroz postojeće muzičke izričaje, ali i kroz kazivanja o onim izričajima koji žive samo još u sjećanjima stanovnika Prusca. U skladu sa navedenim zapažanjima, terenskim istraživa njem na ovom području je bilo moguće pratiti odjeke i svjetovne i duhovne muzičke prakse koji su i danas prisutni među nje govim stanovništvom. Bilježenje muzičke prakse ovog kraja je bazirano isključivo na rezultatima vlastitog terenskog istraživanja, odnosno na priopćenjima kazivača.
This paper deals with the huge wave of out-migration from Central Bosnia, and specifically from the little town of Kraljeva Sutjeska, which began in the 1990s and is still continuing. The two ethnic communities living there, Croats and Bosniacs, are faced with the problem of depopulation, which has reduced the residents to about a quarter of their pre-war numbers. Major events and celebrations in Kraljeva Sutje ska are the occasion for gatherings that are emotionally and socially significant both for those still living there and for those who come for the celebrations. The middle-aged and older generations wish and plan to return to their birthplace, but the younger generation has no thoughts of returning.

Prilog poznavanju društvenog i porodičnog života na području Prusca
Cilj ovog rada je da se predstave pojedini segmenti društvenog i porodičnog života na području Prusca, na osnovu kratkotrajnog istraživanja provedenog 2008. i 2009. godine. Građa prikupljena tokom terenskog rada ukazuje na to da je područje Prusca bilo dobro organizovana lokalna za jednica sa razvijenim oblicima društvenog, ekonomskog i kulturnog života. Rad je podijeljen na nekoliko tematskih cjelina u kojima su opisani društveni odnosi u seoskoj zajednici, porodična zajednica te brak i bračni odnosi. Etnološko-folklorističko istraživanje, bolje reći rekognosciranje terena, obavljeno je u okviru projekta “Etnološko-folklorističke karakteristike Prusca i okoline” koji je izvršilo Odjeljenje za etnologiju Zemaljskog muzeja Bosne i Hercegovine tokom 2008. i 2009. godine. Cilj mog istraživanja bio je da prikupim informacije o društvenom i porodičnom životu na području Prusca, u nastojanju da dobijem sliku o društvenom i porodičnom životu stanovnika Prusca, posmatranog kroz historijsku prizmu, kao i prizmu relacija prema opštim druš tvenim kretanjima. Pisanih izvora o društvenom i porodičnom životu na području Prusca nema, a pored oskudnih historijskih izvora i kratkog boravka na terenu, bilo je neophodno da se oslonimo na usmenu tradiciju i iskaze kazivača, što je imalo uticaja na valorizaciju prikupljenih i mjerljivih podataka. U nedostatku pisanih, historijskih izvora i više se oslanjajući na usmenu tradiciju, koja i ne seže puno unazad, nije bilo moguće dublje ulaziti u rekonstrukcije pojedinih vidova društvenog života, a naročito ne u njegovu cjelinu. Veoma važnu ulogu odigrala je vremenska ograničenost terenskog rada, jer bi za prikupljanje same građe, kao i za konstantno valorizovanje prikuplje nih podataka bili neophodni znatno duži boravak i neposredniji kontakt i neizostavno mnogo sistematičniji zahvat uz znatno veći broj uporedljivih i mjerljivih podataka. Koristeći prethodno objavljena istraživanja na području Prusca, drugu objavljenu literaturu koja se odnosi na porodični i društveni život te upitnike Etnološkog društva Jugoslavije (1963. god.), izradio sam upitnik s pitanjima u vezi s društvenim i porodičnim životom. Podaci na terenu prikupljani su metodama razgovora sa kazivačima (intervju) i neposrednim posmatranjem. Najveći broj ispitanika je starije dobi, rođenih u prvoj polovini ili sredinom 20. stoljeća. Prilikom istraživanja držao sam se jasno određenog vremenskog razdoblja – od Drugog svjetskog rata do 2008. godine.
Досадашња истраживања народне ношње Срба на планини Влашић у периоду 18–20. вијека, истакла су постојање два препознатљива типа народне ношње која су именована као имљанска и травничка народна ношња. Водећи се налазима претходних истраживача, који су истакли да је планина Влашић јединствено етнографско подручjе подијељено на више административних области, теренским истраживањем имало се за циљ утврдити как ве трансформације је ова народна ношња претрпјела током времена и да ли су издвојени типови народне ношње специфичност, или посљедица развоја народне ношње током вре мена. С тим у вези, у складу са налазима истраживања, рад даје препоруку да се народна ношња Срба на Влашићу презентује као влашићка народна ношња, као јединствен назив за све типове и варијанте њеног развоја у различитим временским периодима.

Processes of Change in Ethnographic Museology
In recent decades, ethnographic museology has been rapidly expanding the field in which the contemporary environment recognizes the value systems of members of a folk culture that no longer exists today. Processes of change in conceptualizations have enabled museums to become active participants and creators of social changes. The exhibition project of the Belgrade Ethno graphic Museum, entitled Plastic Nineties, posed several questions and gave avant-garde answers to them. The question was about the anthropological “ethnographization” of the immediate past in the mirror of today’s undoubted permeation of urban, rural, and suburban communities, at the same time communicated through polymerized objects, the so-called plastic materials. In this way, the unwritten rules of ethnographic museology on the exclusive musealization of objects older than half a century, which are entirely made of natural materials, technologically processed in home, manufacturing or artisan production conditions, were challenged.

Јелена Допуђа је у свијету фолклористике позната као прва босанскохерцеговачка етноко реолошкиња, изврсни познавалац играчке традиције и праксе Босне и Херцеговине. Поред етнокореолошког рада, како у Институту за проучавање фолклора, на конгресима Савеза удружења фолклориста Југославије, тако и у фолклорном аматеризму, Допуђин допринос на пољу вокалне традиције је готово непознат. Допуђа је изузетно познавала и народну музичку традицију кроз вокалне облике који су, на основу њеног пјевања / казивања, записани и остали на папиру. На тај начин се нашла с друге стране терена и иза себе оставила велики број напјева првенствено Сарајевско-романијског краја, одакле и потиче, али и шире. Циљ овога рада се првенствено односи на приказ и анализу наведених напјева, односно казивања, обављених кроз архивско истраживање, њихову контекстуализацију и сагледавање музичких карактеристика пјесама.
