The Model of Family in Ethnology and Sociology
Dunja Rihtman-Auguštin
; Institut za filologiju i folkloristiku, Zagreb
Sažetak
Our sociology and ethnology often use similar concepts and study same phenomena, but are unaware of each others results and lack the objective criticism and evaluation of them. This is the case, for example, with the concept folk (narod) whose romantic definition underwent serious criticism and revision in contemporary German, as well as Croatian, ethnology and folkloristics. This achievement has not at all been acknowledged by sociologists.
The same is the case with the romantic model of the peasant extended family household zadruga. Traditional ethnology dealt only with idealized, normative aspect of the zadruga (as based on harmony, collective property, male patriarchal dominance and family autarchy), leaving out the real, practical aspect of it (conflicts, individual property, women's subculture, communications with larger social environment etc.). Only by taking both aspects of the zadruga life together, can we construct the model of the traditional peasant family and culture in general.
Sociology has been adopting uncritically the idealized, romantic model of zadruga, thus presenting tradition as "fixed state" which supposedly precedes the time when social dynamics and processes start to unfold.
In conclusion, the author states that modern research on urban family should not only seek to uncover its rural roots, but also its past and present bourgeois ideal which to a great extent shapes the normative profile of the present urban family.
