Abstract
The paper attempts to question the anthropologically contradictory
boundaries of the Mediterranean cultural area as formed in the works
by the Croatian and international folklore researchers dealing with
the oral narrative poem of the twentieth century. Special attention
will be drawn to the interpretations of the ballad genre, and an
insight into the historical-literary problems will be presented as
well. The hypothesis of this paper is that the narration on the
Mediterranean in those works sometimes equated the understanding
of the wider context of the Balkan ballad area, leading the term
"Mediterranean", as employed in those works, to outgrow its
concrete geographical proportions.
