THE CONTEMPORANEITY OF TOMAŠIĆ'S SOCIOLOGY

Josip Županov ; Zagreb

Abstract

The author considers the contemporaneity Of Dinko Tornašlć's
sociology in view of his concept of dual cultural models: the
tribal-stockbreeding (the Dinaric) on the one hand, and the
lowlands-cooperative on the other. He thus finds interesting two
questions: 1) can the tribal model be exclusively related to the
Serbian ethnos and the cooperative to the Croatianone; 2) isthere
not a dual cultural sytsem in Croatia. The answer to the second
question indicates that the tribal system was powerful indeed in
Croatia, from 1941 to 1945 (through the Ustasha and Partisan
movements) and also in the period after 1945, in which it
earmarked all important relations in former Yugoslavia. The
domination of the tribal model was not impaired even with the
establishment of "self-management" which, in a masked form,
brought back the cooperative model onto the scene. In the
homeland war a strong revitalization of the tribal model has been
under way because Croatia, aggressively attacked by a country
based on the tribal model, was forced to juxtapose the same
model and value system to the aggressor. The author begrudges
Tomašić for leaving out the third, mediterranean model, which
although extremely important for Croatia has been completely
marginalized. The author also allows for the possibility of
discussing a fourth cultural model of the Zagorje area,formed in
the only Croatian region in which a developed feudalism of the
western type had existed.
