Abstract
This paper deals with the group of the players of picigin from Bačvice beach in Split. In the first part the emphasis is put on the ways in which through everyday practice of playing and spending time on the beach certain meaning is attributed to a particular location, so a physical space becomes a symbolic place. The game, ways of entering the player’s community, characteristics of a real player of picigin, homogeneity of the community (relationship between young and old, male and female players) and the changes which have occurred as a result of declaring picigin immaterial cultural heritage, establishing the competing form of the game and tourism development are discussed in the second part of the paper.
