The work of Vladimir Vladence Ardalić - lasting value
Rajko Dobrijević
Abstract
In this paper which is based on my presentation at the scholarly colloquium, first the reminder is given that the region of Bukovica is in the roots of Croatian state and standard Croatian language, and deserves scholarly attention in regard to ts ancient and recent historical heritage, its etnographic materials, and oral traditions which are still in circulation.Then the author points out that Ardalić, who has been somewhat forgotten from the institutions with which he collaborated, is responsible for collecting material and immaterial heritage. The description is given of the setting and context in which Ardalić acuired literacy and made his records about Bukovica, and the importance of the colloquium in Kistanje about his work on Dalmatia, Pokrčje and Bukovica is emphasized. Particular attention is given to Ardalić’s observation about interfaith relations in Bukovica that can
be viewed in the context of the awakening of national consciousness and the formation of political parties in the 19th century. At the same time, the author presents fragments of Ardalić’s memeories of Bukovica as his homeland..
