abstract = "Iako po obrazovanju profesorke jugoslovenske književnosti, Ljubica i
Danica S. Janković gotovo ceo profesionalni život posvetile su sakuplјanju
i proučavanju tradicionalnih plesova, odnosno narodnih igara, kako su one
nazivale predmet svoga rada, i utemelјenju etnokoreologije kao samosvojne
naučne discipline u Srbiji. Posvećeno beleženje tradicionalnih plesova odno
sno dugogodišnji zajednički terenski rad iznedrio je ogromnu građu koja je
većim delom objavlјena i analizirana u mnoštvu naučnih radova i kapitalnoj
ediciji pod nazivom Narodne igre. Prvih osam knjiga iz ove edicije štampa
no je u periodu od 1934. do 1964. godine, dok je deveta knjiga posthumno
objavlјena 2016. godine. Ljubica i Danica Janković mogu se smatrati začetni
cama ne samo etnokoreologije, već i etnomuzikologije u Srbiji., Although educated as professors of Yugoslav literature, the sisters Ljubica
(Aleksinac, 14/26 June 1894 – Belgrade, 3 May 1974) and Danica S. Janković (Po
drinjska Lešnica, 7/19 May 1898 – Belgrade, 18 April 1960) devoted almost the en
tirety of their professional lives to collecting and studying traditional dances, or folk
dances, as they called their subject, and to establishing ethno-choreology as a dis
tinct academic discipline in Serbia. The many years over which the Janković sisters
collaborated in field work, beginning in 1934, have produced a wealth of material,
mainly from Serbia and Northern Macedonia, which has for the most part been pu
blished in a multitude of scholarly works and in a nine-volume capital edition called
Folk Dances. The first eight books from this edition were printed in the period from
1934 to 1964, while the ninth book was published posthumously in 2016. Ljubica
and Danica Janković can be considered the founders not only of ethnochoreology,
but also of ethnomusicology in Serbia.
The life story of the Janković sisters can be seen as a story of scientific success
and recognition of two talented, educated and dedicated women, despite their still
relatively traditional, patriarchal environment. In the final comments, however, we
point out the possibility that more or less hidden patriarchal patterns also marked
their life path.",
