Traditions Of Brač In Contemporary Ethnography

Autorice prezentiraju nove (do sad neobjavljene) usmene priče i predaje u suvremenoj etnografiji koristeći se Dragićevom klasifikacijom priča. Usmene priče i predaje koje su se stoljećima prenosile narativnim putem s koljena na koljeno; priče iz života, eshatološke predaje, mitske predaje intenzivno se i danas pričaju na ovom otoku. Život na otoku je život između dvaju plavetnila, neba i mora. More je uvelike pridonijelo bračkom usmenoknjiževnom bogatstvu. Žitelji svakog otoka pa tako i Brača su zbog mora kojim su okruženi i kojeg toliko vole bili zatvoreni u sebe, u svoju otočku enklavu, a more kao da im je bilo nadahnuće, za mistiku, za pričanje priča, za usmeno-književno stvaralaštvo. One potvrđuju kako i bračka usmena književnost baštini kulturu kao amalgam hrvatske, slavenske, antičke i mediteranske kulture.The authors present new (not yet published) oral stories and traditions in contemporary ethnography using Dragić’s story classification. The oral stories and traditions which were passed down from generation to generation for centuries: life stories, eschatological traditions, mythical traditions are still intensively narrated on this island. The life on the island is a life between blue sky and sea. The sea has greatly contributed to the oral literary wealth of the island of Brač. The inhabitants of each island including Brač due to the sea which surrounds them and which they love so much were closed in themselves, in their island enclave and the sea was an inspiration for mysticism, storytelling and oral literary creativity. These stories confirm that the oral literature of the island of Brač preserves cultural heritage as an amalgam of Croatian, Slavic, Antic and Mediterranean culture
