Delo se skozi izkušnje in spomine različnih posameznikov /.../ predvsem sprašuje o prostovoljnosti migracij iz obalnih mest in širše Primorske po letu 1945. /.../ Nakaže, kako je vsakokratna »prostovoljna« odločitev bila dejansko družbeno-zgodovinsko, politično-ekonomsko in še kako drugače pogojena. /…/ Enako pomembna je tudi ugotovitev, da »nihče ni čist«, da je lahko tako vsak posameznik kot vsaka (denimo nacionalna) skupnost vedno obenem krvnik in žrtev, a da ravno prepoznanje tega, kot tudi priznavanje svoje in bolečine drugega lahko šele omogočita spravo in sobivanje.
The "Istrian Exodus" and the Istrian Society that Followed It This ethnologic study focuses on the aftermath of the "Istrian exodus", including the conflicting national discourses concerning it and the related silenced memories. Various migration processes are highlighted on the basis of memories. Analysing the social processes that took place in Istrian society after the exodus, the paper examines the concepts of the "other" and of "home", and the establishment of symbolic boundaries.
This article is derived from the project Turizmo Ištriano (Programme las Istre), the main aim of which was to observe the intangible heritage of North Istria from an ethnological point of view, within which our focus was on traditional festivities. Instead of a tourist valorisation 'from above, ' the focus of this ethnologic research was directed towards the perceptions 'from below, ' on how people perceive the local intangible heritage. Questions were raised about the so-called 'authenticity, ' continuity, or discontinuity of the traditions and their relation to tourism. The research has shown that a significate element of the break of tradition of šagre can be found in the massive migrations after wwii in the rural part of Istria, which is related to the consequences of the so-called 'Istrian exodus. ' It has also been shown how vital it is for the tradition to survive is its adaptation to the needs of the present. It was shown that people do differentiate between šagra (local character, no tourist promotion), and the 'massive' events that are attempting to attract tourists by selling products, presentation of 'old days' customs, traditional dresses, etc. that represent a 'staged authenticity.
