RECORDS OF ONE COOPERATIVE: PAVELIĆ FAMILY FROM THE VILLAGE OF GLAVACE (GACKA DOLINA, LIKA)
ZORAN LAPOV
Abstract
This paper seeks to draw a line through the genealogy (seven) generations of the family Pavelić: it is concerned with the families originally from the Lika village of Glavace, which - like a good part of the village – left the cooperative coexistence of several generations back, but which was no doubt derived from cooperative families, as evidenced by a hamlet (one of two) of Pavelić, within which it was situated. On this backdrop were depicted cooperative family lives and work, and the position of the Catholic family in a majority Orthodox village, as well as the ways that led the residents to the gradual emigration and eventual abandonment of the land. Due to the large number of natural, economic and especially social factors, displacement not only led to the abandonment of villages, but also the dissolution of the cooperative family (where they are represented in this form). Following one such sequence of events, the article concludes with an outline of the Pavelić family outside of its native homeland, and descriptions of its ‘community’ feeling, which to this day it strives to maintain, at least in certain forms of sociability and social life.
