2.3.5 Zadatak 6: Kultura

In this activity, you will learn about Croatia’s two largest cities, Zagreb and Split. You will read a text about the importance of places like kavanas and cafes in the development of Zagreb society and the importance of špica, what it is and where it takes place. Your instructor will send you a handout for this task.

Social life in Croatia has long revolved around the visitation of establishments for food and drink, like kavanas and cafés, where members of the same or different social classes interact. One important example of social life in public, in which cafés and urban geography play an important role, is špica. Špica is a place, a social ritual, a state of mind, and a spectacle that connects urban residents to their city centers and each other.[1]

After reading the text, answer the following questions in English:

  • What is the importance of kavanas and cafés in Zagreb’s public social life? Who went to kavanas, and how were cafés different?
  • How would you define or translate špica?
  • How is špica different in Zagreb and in Split?
  • In your opinion, what social values do the citizens of both cities cherish?
  • What do you think of špica as an activity? Would you attend Saturday špica?
  • Are there social rituals like špica in your city or country? Where do they take place?
