Summary
Ivan Lozica: Croatian carnivals
The first synthesis of carnival customs in Croatia.
The composition of the monograph is in three parts. Starting from the difference between cyclical and linear concepts of time, in the first part of the book the author writes about the strength and appeal of carnival, the etymology of the name and features of customs, the pagan and Christian components of carnival, the place of carnival in the calendar, the origin and boundaries of carnival, the relationship between carnival and ancient customs, carnivals and carols, the custom of electing a king, the relationship between carnival, weddings and death, and the problems of research and interpretation of carnival.
In in the second part of the book, the author gives an account of carnival events throughout Croatia, from Slavonia and Baranja, through the Međimurje, Zagorje, Zagreb and Samobor fašniks, displays of carnivals in Buzeština, Kastavština, Novi Vinodolski, Punt na Krk, descriptions of Pag's Robinja, Olibka carnivals, witches in Bukovica and catwalks in Radošić, Donjokaštelan krnjeval, Split masquerades, carnival in Imotski, via from the customs of the Korčula kumpanija and the Lastovo carnival to the Dubrovnik carnival and the festival of St. Vlaha.
The third part of the monograph is devoted to the analysis of the carnival, its magical and socio-critical components, the carnival word, reconciliation through gender and age inversion, characters, masks and dolls, animals, noise, movement and dance, food and drinks. The monograph ends with an interpretation of the carnival as an interlude of folk culture that reconciles social conflicts and strengthens cohesion and identity within the community.
