Kultura medija i medij kulture: kalendari Pavla Rittera Vitezovića

Pavao Ritter Vitezovich was a renowned writer and a historian in Croatian Kingdom during the late 17th and early 18th century. Upon finishing his Kavalierstour, enriched by firsthand knowledge of modern European cultural and social currents, Vitezovich returned to his native homeland and began his work as a writer and publisher. Among the works he published, Vitezovich was mostly known for his elite culture books and works, however those made up only a part of his entire body of work. This paper deals with Vitezoviches production of popular culture media, more accurately vernacular calendars written and published in Croatian language. The main thesis of this paper deals with the structural and content related elements in Vitezoviches calendars in comparison with their European counterparts that influenced Vitezovich during his Kavalierstour. Though influenced by the central European calendars, Vitezovich adjusted the structural elements of his calendars in line with his idea of a perfect media. Second thesis deals with the fact that Vitezovich implanted elements of his „pan Croat“ ideological platform mixed with ideas of elite European culture in his calendars in order to spread his ideas among more numerous readership. This paper is heavily based on the ideas of modern media studies popularized by Marshall McLuhan and the social history of media theory developed by Peter Burke and Assa Briggs. Methodologically, Vitezoviches calendars were analyzed on several levels. First and foremost, they were analyzed on a structural level in comparison with several other central European representatives of the same media found in the library of Janez Vajkard Valvasor. After that the calendars were analyzed on a intertextual level (alongside the aforementioned central European calendars and other works that were associated with Vitezovich) in order to establish connections between them

The role of historical science in contemporary archival studies

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se tematikom utjecaja koji je historiografija odigrala u razvoju arhivske djelatnosti i arhivistike kao znanstvene grane, ali i odnosom dvaju disciplina danas. Dio rada bavi se pregledom ranog razvoja djelatnosti očuvanja arhivskih dokumenata koji je svoje temelje bilježio ponajprije u djelatnosti povjesničara koji su, preuzevši vodeće uloge, utjecali na razvoj i nastanak suvremene arhivistike. Proširenjem uloge arhiva uloga povjesničara se smanjila, te su oni u većini postali korisnici. Razvoj moderne tehnologije i utemeljenje arhivistike u informacijskim znanostima dovelo je do daljnjeg odvajanja koje je danas često tema polemika. Drugi dio rada posvećen je analizi iskoristivosti povjesničara u suvremenim arhivima s obzirom na trenutno stanje arhiva u Hrvatskoj i dužnosti koje arhivisti obnašaju na dnevnoj bazi. Jednako tako govori se o mjerama kojima bi se odnosi između dvije znanosti gradili još u razdoblju studiranja, kako bi se donekle pristupilo rješavanju temeljnih problema kako ih vidi arhivistička znanstvena zajednica.The main concern of this thesis lies in the relationship and influence that History had on the development of Archival Science. The thesis also investigates the relationship between the two disciplines in modern and contemporary times. The first part is a chronological presentation of development of archives as a concept, with special focus on the influence of historians during that time. Historians are considered to be the main influencers, if not creators of some crucial principles in contemporary archival science. Though, with the need to expand the workload, historians began to take the role of users, rather than leaders and archivists. And so, the separation began. The other part of this thesis deals with this relationship today, and tries to suggest areas of archival profession in which historians could still work for the greater benefit of the archives (given the situation in the archives in Croatia).Also, a big part of the thesis is the solution to the growing dissipation of this relationship, which could be resolved by smart planning of curricula in archival and historian university education

Prelog protocol (1744, 1792 – 1796)

Protokol trgovišta Prelog čuva se u Državnom arhivu za Međimurje u Štrigovi u fondu Poglavarstvo trgovišta Prelog. Obuhvaća tri knjige za razdoblje od 1792. do 1849. godine s dva kasnije unesena upisa koji se odnose na 1744. (dokument broj 46) i 1791. godinu. Sam zapisnik pisan je latinicom i hrvatskom kajkavštinom. U ugovorima se često nalazi i formulacija na latinskom jeziku nemine contradicente, gdje se dodatno daje do znanja kako se zemlja prodaje dobrovoljno. Također, osim gore spomenute formulacije, može se naći i iure perpetuo, et irrevocabili. U zapisniku se mogu naći i germanizmi. Iz prve knjige zapisnika u ovom članku transkribirano je prvih 90 stranica sa 89 upisa. U zapisima su obuhvaćene oporuke, prepuštanja gospodarstva i zemljišta, zamjene zemljišta, a najčešći su zapisi kupoprodajne prirode, koji se pojavljuje u dvije različite verzije, dakle jedna u kojoj se citiraju riječi prodavača koji prodaje zemlju, ili sklapa neku drugu vrstu dogovora, ili pak verzija u kojoj se citiraju sudac (rihtar) i prisežnici, odnosno svjedoci, koji objašnjavaju što se dogodilo na dan kada je stranka došla kod njih, odnosno koji je zahtjev uputila.The protocol of the Prelog trading town is kept at the State Archive in Medjimurje at Štrigova in the collection of the Prelog trading town administration. This includes three books for the period from 1792 to 1849, with two subsequent entries for the years 1744 and 1791. The record is written in the Latin script and the Croatian Kajkavian dialect. The contracts often contain the Latin phrase nemine contradicente, with an additional note that the lands are sold voluntarily. Also, there is also the phrase iure perpetuo, et irrevocabili. The record also contains Germanisms
