Sažetak
Juxtaposing data from Dubrovnik studies based on archival material
and Dubrovnik narrative sources, the paper points to the complexity
of that urban community's cultural horizons during the 15th and 16th
century with a special focus on women's history. The parallel
existence of diverse frames of reference within which women's lives
were conceptualised — legal, economic, social and cultural,
ecclesiastic, humanistic — created a plurality of opinions,
dialectics, ambivalence, non-consistency and conflict within the
community. It shaped the complexity of the conceptual, value-
-judgmental and interpretative scope for research into various issues
related to women such as understanding their role, conceptions
within the community about the female character and body, and
about femininity.
