No full textNotes on the Sinjska Alka and their Applicability in Ethnological Research
No full textAutorica u članku predstavlja radove koji su na temu Sinjske alke nastali u razdoblju od kraja 18. do početka 21. st. Posebnu pozornost pritom pridaje etnološkim radovima, vidjeći u njima i građu za drukčije koncipirano stručno istraživanje Alke, koje usmjereno na odnos Alke kao čimbenika identiteta i njezine opstojnosti.The author in this paper discusses articles written on Sinjska Alka in the period from the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th until the present day. Since this paper was mostly re-written from her MA thesis, in the introductory paragraph the author outlines the background of her interest in Sinjska Alka as the topic of her research.
The research on the durability of Sinjska Alka, the relationship between tradition in modernity embedded in it and its role in the construction of the identity of the population of the region of Cetinska Krajina have brought the author to the conclusion that the image and the perception of Alka in different historical and political moments of its’ 300 years long existence, was significantly determined by the character of its media coverage. The author has divided written contributions on Alka according to the periods of their publication partially linking the ways in which Alka was represented with different historical-political and social-cultural contexts at the moment of their appearance. She also analyzed ethnological articles written on the subject, seeing them as a staring point for a more professional approach to this topic
TRANSFORMATION OF THE NOTION OF CHIVALRY WITHIN SINJSKA ALKA (Summary)
No full textDobro poznata, i posljednjih nekoliko godina aktualna ne samo po svojoj dataciji te svojevrsnoj igraćoj i inoj originalnosti, Sinjska alka će zbog svoje designacije kao viteške igre te karakterističnog i raznolikog odnosa prema pojmu viteštva zaokupljati ovaj rad kao kontekst kulturne prerade i transformacije, odnosno različitoga shvaćanja viteških vrednota.The author deals with the different relation towards the notion of chivalry within the contemporary context of the Sinjska Alka, a traditional game from the region of Sinjska krajina, which originates from the mediaeval chivalry tournaments and is in itself defined as being chivalrous. The first part is dedicated to the reconstruction of the events from the 286th Alka festivity, that is, their political context and different comprehension of the notion of chivalry the participants have shown, and it is mainly based on newspapers’ articles. This is followed by a part with the discussion of the basis on which the mediaeval institution of chivalry has been founded, and which stresses out the changed meaning of the chivalry and its values. Those are being compared to the ones that can be interpreted from the Statute of the Chivalry Alka Society. The last part talks about the intensification of the usage of the notion of chivalry in Croatia from the beginning of the 1990s war, about the development of its meaning within the context of the Sinjska Alka and about its manifest characteristics
Between Pride and Polemic: Challenges of Interpreting Sensitive Topics in the Context of Sinjska Alka
No full textThe paper analyzes the experiences and challenges of museological interpretation of sensitive historical topics in the context of the Sinjska Alka – one of the most important traditions of Croatian cultural identity. The author, curator of the Museum of Sinjska Alka, uses his own professional experiences to examine how to balance the authenticity of historical narratives with community expectations, how to select relevant content, and how contemporary museological tools can help shape socially sensitive and scientifically based presentations. Special attention is paid to methodological approaches in examining controversial topics and the importance of including the local community in the museological discourse

(Ad)dressing Afghanistan The Commodification of the Ethnic 'Type' Genre
No full textThe relationship between photographer and subject in nineteenth-century photographs of Afghanistan operates as a component of identity construction. To date, this interaction is theorized in terms of power between the photographer and the colonial apparatus and labels the image as orientalist, colonializing, and ethnographic. I propose an additional perspective that places consumer interests in costume at the forefront of image construction. While Western photographers have left us with a perception of nineteenth-century Afghanistan as an intersection between British occupied India and Russia, the social economic impetus of these images require further analysis. An examination of British cultural and photographic practices reveals the role clothes play in the creation of the ethnic ‘type.’ My research addresses these principal themes: the continuities between photographic and pre-photographic visualities; the relationship between European cultural attitudes, the creation of costume books, and reception of commercial photography; how visual information was repurposed and influenced the development of anthropology as a discipline. The importance of studying costume and costume books in the nineteenth century is instrumental to understanding Europe’s transition to a culture focused on classification and commodification. Costume books not only allowed for the creation of a consumable ‘type’ in photography, and permit us to examine the actual mechanics of commodification
