Рад се заснива на теренском истраживању српске
заједнице југоисточног Косова и представља исечак из
знатно обимније студије односа етницитета и других
облика колективних идентификација у ситуацији дубоко
измењеног контекста од 1999. године и увођења
међународног протектората на Косову, а чија израда је у
току. Фокус је на субјективној димензији живота под
протекторатом и на локалном знању. У овом раду
разматрају се идентитетски дискурси који прате свадбу,
парадигматичaн догађај у култури српског становништва
југоисточног Косова, и употребу традиционалног женског
костима.
The paper is based on multi-sited fieldwork carried out in southeast Kosovo (Gnjilane with its surrounding villages and Vitina enclave) and among persons displaced from this area to Smederevo, Vranje, and Vranjska
Banja (all towns in Serbia). It is an excerpt from a much
more extensive study of relations among ethnicity and other forms of collective identifications (religious, regional,
local, gender) in a profoundly changed situation following
the introduction of an international protectorate in Kosovo
in 1999. The focus is on the subjective dimension of life
under the protectorate and local knowledge. The paper examines identity discourses which accompany a wedding, a paradigmatic event in
the culture of the Serb population of southeast Kosovo, and the use of traditional
women’s costume.
The wedding celebration in the morning hours is opened by the mother-in-
law (the bridegroom’s mother), by dancing the svekrvino kolo (mother-in-law’s
dance) with her kin. This wedding seg...ment symbolizes the community’s collective
identity in the fullest sense. Women put on their traditional costume, of whose appearance and preservation to the present day the community is very proud. Discourse on the preserved traditional women’s costume (today reduced to ritual function) among members of the community expresses the intertwining of different
forms of identification. The traditional women’s costume is one of the bearing constructs on which the community bases its identity as the old inhabitants of the area,
as distinct from the colonists. Other identities such as ethnic, regional, local, gender
and family are also interlaced into the discourse on women’s costume.
Why is the women’s costume placed on a pedestal as a condensed symbol
of the community? Why does the community read complex identity discourses into
the women’s costume and the dance of the women at the wedding? One of the
spheres in which this paper seeks answers are gender relations.
