    Y,[(K: 94:327](497.13 Kop'lyna:450.341 )" 15" Oliver JENS SCHMITT Institut ftir Osteuropaische Geschichte Wien Austria MICRO-HISTORY AND LEBENSWELTEN AS APPROACHES TO LATE MEDIEVAL DALMATIAN HISTORY. A CASE STUDY OF KORCULN Abstract: The article discusses micro-history as approach for analyzing the question of Venetian rule in Late Medieval Dalmatia. Thick description of local conflicts on the island of Korcula reveals a complex network of personal economic and political dependencies and demonstrates the limits ofVenetian power. Key Words: Dalmatia, Venice, Korcula, Micro-History While most medievalists dealing with Late Medieval Southeastern Europe are trained to analyze in detail a rather restricted number of docu­ ments which were actually produced in the region (this observation does, obviously, not concern Dubrovnik), relying usually heavily on a documentation from outside the area or even stemming from later periods, the archive of Korcula represents the very rare example of an almost complete source collection of a minor island at the crossroads of the Balkans and the East Mediterranean world. This paper discusses the question whether some methods of the so called New Cultural History help analyzing the Korculan society of the 15th century. It is divided into several steps: 1. It will try to give a short methodological overview of the methods in question 2. It will describe in a few words the political and social framework of the Korculan society at the eve of the Venetian domination ' This article was read as a paper at the University of Belgrade in October 2009; it was probably one of the last lectures Sima Cirkovic could attend.

  • Vina Croatia
    Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.

  • Croatia Islands out of Beaten Tracks Explore Secluded Bays, Idyllic Beaches and Hidden Coves on a Classic Croatia Cruising Holiday
    Croatia Islands Out of Beaten Tracks Explore secluded bays, idyllic beaches and hidden coves on a classic Croatia Cruising holiday. Most Croatia small ship cruise holidays involve a lot of rushing around, with limited mooring times and early departures. This trip takes a different, far more relaxed approach. Instead of staying overnight on the boat off the various islands, you’ll be based in a central location on Korcula. Accommodated at a stylish, spacious and luxury villa with superb amenities, you’ll take daily trips out to renowned islands destinations such as Dubrovnik old town, Vis, Hvar,Brac, Peljesac peninsula and Mlijet Island National Park aboard a fast and comfortable luxury yacht. Designed for travelers with a passion for the sea, the sun and excellent Dalmatian cuisine, this tailor-made tour has the additional benefit that itineraries can be curated to suit your own interests, and both arrival and departure dates are flexible, in contrast to most Croatia cruise packages which falls on a weekend only. Staying on Korcula in a villa that’s a short walk from the sea and Lumbarda village, you’re just a 30-minute sail away from Mlijet National Park, an island paradise perfect for hiking, swimming and snorkeling. In the other direction, you have the alluring Vis, with its famous caves, Peljesac peninsula famous as wine empire, Hvar and Brac with its historic architecture, pristine scenery and laidback lifestyle making it a popular haunt for the jet set crowd. You’ll also take a guided tour of Dubrovnik, ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, its old town a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe’s most sought-after travel destinations.
