ETNO-FILOLOŠKI PRINOSI KULTURNOJ BAŠTINI ZAPADNE HERCEGOVINE

Pod okriljem važnosti usmene književnosti, u ovom radu prikazani su etno- filološki prinosi s područja Zapadne Hercegovine, s posebnim osvrtom na selo Biograci. Kako je tradicija obuhvatila sve trenutke čovjekova života, od svakodnevnice, najvažnijih događaja, slavlja, glazbe, plesa do težačkih poslova i načina odmora, tako je i u radu opisana crkveno – pučka baština: blagdani – Uskrs, Božić, Sveti Jure kao i značajni dani tog razdoblja u godini. Blisku povezanost običaja s religijom, pokazuje i opis do danas sačuvanog pozdrava među ukućanima nakon svete mise. Prikazana je i čovjekova kreativnost i zabava kroz osvrt na maškare i tradiciju čuvanja krava, kao i jednog od najznačajnijih, ali i tradicijski najbogatijih događaja u životu čovjeka – svatova. Također, govori se i o onom neizostavnom dijelu kojega se tradicija dotakla – čovjekovog umjetničkog izražavanja – glazbe. Ganga kao gotovo sinonim sa hercegovačko područje, svatovska i čobanska pjevanja te uspavanke. Rad je napisan s ciljem da riječi sačuvaju ono što je prošlo i zadrže ono što je na odlasku. Ipak, možda će upravo ona ganga s hercegovačkog kamena najbolje prenijeti osjećaj i ponos bogate kulturne baštine toga krajaUnder the importance of oral literature, this thesis presents ethno-philological contributions from the West Herzegovina region, with special reference to the village of Biograci. As the tradition encompassed all the moments of a person's life, from everyday life, the most important events, celebrations, music, dance to difficult tasks and ways of rest, the thesis also describes the church and folk heritage: holidays - Easter, Christmas, St. Jure, as well as significant days of that periods of the year. The close connection of customs with religion is also evidenced by the description of the salutation preserved to this day among the householders after the Holy Mass. Man's creativity and fun were presented through a review of the carnival (Maškare) and the tradition of shepherding, as well as one of the most significant and traditionally richest events in the life of man - weddings. There is also an indispensable part that tradition has touched - man's artistic expression - music. Ganga as almost synonymous for the Herzegovina area, wedding and shepherd singing and lullabies. The thesis is written with the aim of preserving words that have passed and keeping what is left. However, perhaps that ganga from Herzegovina stone will best convey the feeling and pride of the rich cultural heritage of the area
