THE REVERBERATION OF THE PRAGUE LINGUISTIC CIRCLE ON CROATIAN FOLKLORISTICS
Renata Jambrešić
Sažetak
This paper deals with Croatian folkloristics as a discipline primarily concerned
with oral literature and ethnotheatrology having its roots in some of concepts of the Prague Linguistic Circle. The »functional structuralism« of R. Jakobson represented a turning point in linguistics, poetics and folkloristics - term proposed by R. Jakobson. The autonomy of this discipline has been further advocated by P. Bogatyrev and R. Jakobson as well in their notable programmatic article, originally
published in German in 1929, Die Folklore als eine besondere Form des Schaffens. M. Boskovic-Stulli, the founder of Croatian modern folkloristics, has been essentially influenced by them. Some notions as those proposed in that article, enabled her to point out a specific communicational aspect of oral literature as »art of words«. The oral aspect of folklore phenomena has been reflected in specific role of its language; its existence through multiple variants; typological durability of folklore genres, etc.
As J. Mukafovsky made possible a fusion of structuralistic approach and traditional aesthetic categories, the similar connection of theories of M. Bakhtin,
J. Mukafovsky and contemporary semiotics can be traced in the work of the new generation of Croatian folkloristics (T. Peric-Polonijo, I. Lozica). They, first of all, endeavour to define precisely their field of research and to build up a consistent
system of classification which will oppose the inherited classifications of philological tradition.
I. Lozica, for instance, proposes ethnotheatrology as a part of folkloristics and as a type of theatrology. Following P. Bogatyrev and J. Mukafovsky he discusses
a relationship between aesthetic function and other functions of representations.
I. Lozica considers in some of his works the folklore performance as a »dialogue
between the explorer and the explored«. The same notion has been brought
to an extreme range by M. Velcic in the context of recent anthropological and ethnographic studies.
