Sažetak
The author's starting point in this paper is the fact that today it is impossible to consider any single segment of the everyday life without
meanings of the urban appearing as its underlying concept. The recognition of these concepts presumes: (a) that it is the matter of a
quasi-theoretical construction, (b) that the research of the everyday
life is an attempt to demystify scientific point of view of what the people »see but do not notice«, (c) that it is possible to recognize the
way of life in a particular space by means of everyday life, and (d)
that the contextual dimension of culture is inevitable in the process of
recognizing the everyday life. The lowest common denominator of the
»the urban way of life« in various cultural settings in the region of South-Eastern Europe is the central issue of this paper. The author's
»search« goes within the circle of mythical concepts of authentic values, romanticized ideas about pre-modern cities and rational living
conditions in modern cities. The awareness of the fact that the issue
of urban life is being fogged by its various interpretations within the
domains of anthropology, ethnology, sociology, urbanology and history, represents a particular problem. In this paper, the solution to
the controversy brought about by these presuppositions is achieved
by constructing three problem planes. The first problem plane - connecting culture, civilization and the city, the second problem plane
- determining the space in which the South-Eastern European city is
located, the third problem plane -using urban idioms and patterns on
the basis of which it is possible to recognize the authentic values of the urban way of life in the region of South-Eastern Europe. The considering system used in this paper is resulting from the methods
of qualitative urbano-sociologic and urbanologic analysis.
