Abstract
Rad tematizira identifikacijske procese primorskih Bunjevaca kroz povijesnu perspektivu od njihova doseljenja u ove krajeve do danas. Na prostoru od područja Krmpota do Sv. Marije Magdalene utvrđeni su višeslojni identiteti, a najvažnije kategorije poistovjećivanja jesu: Bunjevci, Primorci i Podgorci. Bunjevački se identitet gubi u Podgorju gdje je upravo i granica različitog poimanja pojma Bunjevac. U završnim razmatranjima propituje se suodnos identiteta i etnokulturnih procesa oblikovanja Bunjevaca usporedbom spoznaja o identifikacijskim procesima s rezultatima istraživanja svadbenih običaja primorskih Bunjevaca i ukazuje na druge karakteristične objektivne sadržaje kulture koji bi mogli potkrijepiti tezu o uzročno-posljedičnoj uvjetovanosti konstrukcije identiteta i etnokulturnog oblikovanja Bunjevaca.The articles discusses the processes of identification of the Coastal Bunjevci through a historical perspective from their migration to these regions till today. On the region from Krmpote to St. Mary Magdalene the author has established the existence of multiple identities with the most common categories of identification being: Bunjevci, Primorci and Podgorci. The category of Bunjevci is lost in the region of Podgorje, which is also the borderline region where different interpretations of the term Bunjevci have been established. The concluding part of the article questions the relationship between the processes of identification and ethno-cultural processes of the formation of Bunjevci through the comparison of findings on identificational processes and the results of the research on wedding customs of Coastal Bunjevci, and, hence, the article points to other characteristic objects of culture which could confirm the hypothesis on consequential conditioning of the construction of identity and ethno-cultural formation of the Bunjevci group
