Abstract

Odnosi između populacija koje su živjele na kršćanskom i muslimanskom pograničju bili su regulirani nizom običajno-pravnih praksi, a u ovome se radu rekonstruiraju one vezane uz otkupe, razmjene i zamjene zarobljenika između zaraćenih strana, kao i prakse pobratimstva te krajiškog dvoboja. Sačuvani izvori, osim što govore o samim praksama i periodu njihova formiranja i etabliranja, svjedoče i o nesretnim sudbinama običnih ljudi koji su, zahvaćeni ratnim zbivanjima, jedini spas vidjeti u praksama koje su otvarale mogućnost za ostvarivanje prekograničnog 'dijaloga'. Ne zanemarujući konfliktni karakter pograničja rad se primarno bavi aspektima suživota i tolerancije, a temeljem odrađene analize može se zaključiti da su obje zaraćene strane dijelile niz sličnosti zbog kojih ih možemo gledati i kao jedinstveno pogranično ili krajiško društvo. Polazeći tako od pretpostavki studija granice, među ostalim da granice iako razdvajaju ujedno i spajaju ljude, rekonstruirane običajno-pravne prakse smještaju se u širi vremensko-prostorni kontekst te se analizira njihovo značenje za razumijevanje habsburško-osmanskog pograničnog (krajiškog) društva.

Abstract (english)

The populations living on the Christian-Muslim frontier maintained their relationships through a series of customary practices (or customary law). This thesis reconstructs the practices pertaining to ransom, exchange of prisoners between the warring parties, as well as blood brotherhood and dueling. The extant sources bear testimony to the grim fates of ordinary people who sought their way out of captivity: the described practices opened the possibility of cross-border dialogue. Without neglecting the many conflicts, this thesis focuses on the tolerance towards and coexistence between the warring parties. The analysis shows that combatants on both sides shared a number of traits, which allows us to characterize them as a single frontier community. Starting out from the assumption that borders both divide and unite people, this thesis situates customary practices in a wider historical context and assesses their significance for the study of the Ottoman-Habsburg (frontier) society.
