Abstract

In the existing literature on the zadruga (communal family), this family institution is usually treated as a community of blood, a community of life, a community of work and an community of authority. The authoress supports that considers such a zadruga model on two levels: on the level of imagined order and on the level of real order. She constructs a model for the zadruga containing both levels. She considers that ethnological interpretations of the communal family stemming from a knowledge of the interaction between ideal and real culture in a concrete historical context facilitate an insight into the structure of traditional thinking.
