ORAL-LITERARY INHERITANCE IN ETHNOLOGICAL CONTEX IN IMOTSKI REGION

U ovom radu prikazani su usmenoknjiževni oblici koji su bili najučestaliji u Imotskoj krajini. Danas postoji velika opasnost od nestajanja i zanemarivanja usmene baštine i zbog toga je jako važno zapisivati i dalje te oblike kako bi se mogli prenositi s koljena na koljeno. Slušajući svoje starije, mlađi naraštaji su učili i oponašali njihovo pjevanje te se ono tako sačuvalo sve do danas. To je na neki način naše blago jer nas povezuje s našim precima i tako ostajemo u doticaju s njima. Demonološke predaje u osnovi imaju osobni doživljaj, susret s demonskim (onostranim) bićem. Postojala su razna vjerovanja u mitološka bića i dosta je pjesama utemeljeno upravo na tim pričama. Osim toga postoje i zapisi kršćanskih molitava koje i dan danas naše bake mole. U njima možemo primijetiti duboku religioznost koja postoji u hrvatskom puku jer je se naša vjera sačuvala kroz stoljeća. U Runoviću već dugi niz godina postoji tradicijsko nošenje križa na Veliki Petak. Običaji su najvažniji jer baš zbog tih običaja ostajemo najviše povezani sa svojim krajem i svojom obitelji.Oral-literary forms are shown in this work that were common in Imotski region. Today there is a great danger of the disappearance and neglect of oral heritage and because of that it is very important to continue writing down these forms so they can be passed from generation to generation. Listening to their elders, the younger generations learned and imitated their singing, and it has been preserved to this day. It is in a way our treasure because it connects us with our ancestors and so we stay in touch with them. Demonological traditions basically have a personal experience, an encounter with a demonic (otherworldly) being. There were various beliefs in mythological beings and a lot of songs are based on these stories. In addition, there are records of Christian prayers that our grandmothers still pray today. In them we can notice the deep religiosity that exists in the Croatian people because our faith has been preserved through the centuries. In Runović, there has been a traditional carrying of the cross on Good Friday for many years. Customs are the most important because it is because of these customs that we remain most connected to our region and our family
