NEMATERIJALNA KULTURNA BAŠTINA U KAŠTELIMA I KAŠTELANSKOJ ZAGORI

U ovom radu govori se o važnosti proučavanja, sakupljanja i njegovanja usmene književnosti. Usmena književnost nosi mnogo priča i pojedinosti o prošlosti nekoga naroda te čini temelj kulture svakog naroda. Narod bez svoje kulture i običaja nije narod. Cilj rada bio je ukazati na zanimljivost i šarolikost opusa usmene književnosti te potaknuti mlade generacije da se više posvete proučavanju i prikupljanju tekstova i priča iz usmene književnosti. Kao nositeljica povijesti, može nas mnogo čemu naučiti i ukazati na svakojake greške, pomoći nam prihvatiti prošlost, razumjeti sadašnjost i spremno dočekati budućnost. Osim toga, ključ je našega identiteta, a izgubimo li identitet i mi sami postajemo izgubljeni. U radu su navedene i neke pjesme, priče, predaje i običaji prikupljeni u razgovoru s vlastitim kazivačima i kazivačicama iz uže obitelji, a sve svjedoče upravo raznolikosti i zanimljivosti koju nudi usmena književnost.This paper emphasizes the importance of studying, collecting and nourishing oral literature.

A nation without its culture and customs is no nation at all.
