6.2.1 Zadatak 4: Kultura
In English: Many of the items that you encountered in today’s lesson play an important role in shaping Croatian identity. Thus, it is no surprise that these items are mass-produced as souvenirs.
However, you should not assume that you will encounter these items in everyday life. At times these items appear as part of a dress code, but only on special occasions. Let’s investigate some of the situations when you can encounter people wearing some of these items:
Most recently, these items also started to reappear in clothing as part of designers’ attempt to preserve national identity. It’s mostly present in the haute couture industry. As an example, see Etnobutik Mara.
Questions:
- How do you interpret Croatian identity based on the above categories/items?
- Can you compare how Croatian identity is developed in comparison to national/cultural identity in your country?
- Are there any specific items from your country that people can/should buy as souvenirs (other than magnets, key chains, pictures, or statues)?
