Sažetak
Continuing on the first two issues of Kanavelić, I describe the First May festivities on the western part of the island of Korčula. This time it is the custom of getting up on the First of May. I analyse the questions of time, gatherings and the places of reunion of the procession, gender structure of participants, manifestation and fragmentation. Together with the description of this custom, denoting the final stage of the First May festivities, the text also depicts the customs of ritual pasture and hunting battue. The bygone customs are set in the context of time and space with an analysis of social and political influences and changes. The custom of getting up was the mark of differentiation between the two wars, and of monolithism in the post-war socialist and working-class period. The text is based on the verbal sayings of the participants, various sources from the second half of the 20th century, as well as on literature for comparing the custom with that in the broader area.
