Theoretical-methodological Concepts of Antun Radić and Their Influence on Ethnology in Croatia

Iz opusa Antuna Radića (1868-1919), koji je pretežno publicističko-političkog značaja, autorica je odabrala mjesta u kojima su izražena stajališta o teoriji i metodologiji etnologije. Ukazano je na Radićeve misli kojima je odredio sadržaj i opseg predmeta etnološke disciline, objasnio potrebu i smisao etnološke djelatnosti i naznačio metodu rada. Ta su stajališta kritički vrednovana u odnosu na današnju etnološku misao. Pokazan je također utjecaj Radićevih zamisli na kasniji, pa i suvremeni, rad u Hrvatskoj.Antun Radić (1868—1919) is considered the founder of Croatian ethnology. The author selected from his voluminous opus, although mostly of journalistic-political character, those passages where she thought Radić was presenting his theoretical views. The article brings out Radić\u27s ideas about the content and span of the subject of ethnological discipline, about the need for and the sense of ethnological research, as well as about methods of work. The author critically evaluates these views, relating them to the present state of the art. Also, she demonstrates what was the nature of Radić\u27s influence, and its extent, on subsequent, even some contemporary, ethnological research in Croatia
