Masks, masking and rituals in
Serbia Author: PhD Vesna Marjanovic 341 pages, illustrated, serbian edition Ethnographic museum in Belgrade, 2008. „The study establishes new elements for the masking culture research. It points to the general human need in building personality as homo duplex. The former magic-religious to the use of masking in rituals may be metaphorically identified with the modern relation to the masking, which is, in the ritualized behavioural form, identified with entertainment, emotional discharge of an individual and a society, or directed to the proper therapy.” (quote from the book) |

Among collection of the most diverse items of the traditional culture, the Ethnographic museum in Belgrade also owns an exceptional collection of rural and urban household items. Due to a large scale of the collection (some 6 000 museum items), we have decided to present it to the expert and general public through a series of catalogues of individual groups of objects. We have decided to start with the valuable and significant collection of chests originating from the past and the present Serbian ethnic region. As chests are an important element of home furniture, special attention was given to its make and decoration and usually these are the works of great artistic value. Therefore, in addition to basic information on chests, we have also decided to pay particular attention to methods of the make and decoration techniques. |

Ethnographic museum treasures the significant Easter eggs collection. This collection items very by their territorial origin: the most of them are from Serbia, Kosovo and Vojvodina, while the minor part-but still not irrelevant one-originates from Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia. The value of this collection is reflected in its comprisement of all of the important traditional coloring and embellishing techniques – such as wax, leaves and dye ornamenting – as well in the rich ornamentics which makes these objects the products of artistic painting expressioning. The dating of the Easter eggs treasured in Museum reaches no further than the end of 19th Century and the beginning of 20th Century, but the reach of some techniques and ornaments extents in the much older age, which we can preserve from the oblivion by this collection. |

Ethnic humor in humoristic
press in Serbia in the 20th century Author: Gordana Ljuboja 405 pages, serbian edition Ethnographic museum in Belgrade, 2001 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The dissertation is a combined folkloristic and ethnological study of the relations between humor and ethnicity. Central issue, relevant to this study and the discipline of ethnology itself is the question of the empirical foundation of the humorous folklore: is it a reflection of ethnic culture, attitudes to the other groups or actual interethnic relationship? Two possible theoretical approaches have been applied and compared: socio-anthropological, which treats the problem of humor functionally, as a result of aggressive tendencies, ethnic conflicts and ethnic prejudice as well as literary-theoretical approach with its focus on genre and the generic structures. |
