Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad predstavlja kulturnoantropološko istraživanje i analizu suvremene revitalizacije i reinterpretacije (staro)slavenske duhovnosti na primjeru prakse Bereginja. Primjenom autoetnografije, etnografskog intervjua i sudjelujućeg promatranja nastoji se odgovoriti na pitanja kako se praksa Bereginja koristi u ispunjavanju suvremenih potreba za zajednicom, duhovnosti i otkrivanju sebstva. Posebno mjesto u prakticiranju Bereginja imaju radionice. Ženski krug na radionicama podupire ženu u osobnom i duhovnom razvoju, a taj razvoj potom osnažuje ženu da u skladu sa svojim sebstvom djeluje u svojoj okolini. Na tom putu rada na sebi isprepliću se povezivanje s prirodom, vlastitim precima, obitelji i potomcima te upoznavanje svoje ženstvenosti.

Abstract (english)

This diploma thesis presents a cultural anthropological research and analysis of contemporary revitalization and reinterpretation of (old) Slavic spirituality based on the example of the Bereginja practice. By applying autoethnography, ethnographic interview and participant observation, I try to answer the questions of how the practice of Bereginja is used in fulfilling contemporary needs for community, spirituality and self-discovery. Workshops have a special place in practicing Bereginje. The women’s circle at the workshops is supportive in participants personal and spiritual development which then empowers them to act, in accordance with themselves, in their environment. Connecting with nature, one’s ancestors, family and descendants, along with connecting with one’s femininity are intertwined on this journey of self-development.
