  • Making Sense of Memory
    Copyright © Museum Tusculanums Press Making Sense of Memory Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria1 Jonas Frykman Frykman, Jonas 2003: Making Sense of Memory. Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria. – Ethnologia Europaea 33:2: 107–120. When the actual terror is over, how do you reconcile without trying to pay back? With the falling apart of Yugoslavia, past, suppressed injustices remerged and were frequently used to connect the present with bitter memories. In the ethnically diverse region of Istria, however, it has been difficult for any group to claim its interpretation of history to be superior to others. Seeking to explain the Istrian case and within it the role of the esuli, the article juxtaposes the material discourse represented by monuments with the workings of memory and the dynamics which jostle sleeping, hidden, or private memory into public discourse. It is argued that in Istria, the absence of an ethnic “master narrative,” and the coexistence of many different groups sharing the territory has been useful for keeping nightmarish memory of ethnic violence at bay. Instead, place has come to matter more than history. Within landscapes and monuments, experiences of terror and narratives of martyrdom find a resting place, however uneasy. Prof. Dr. Jonas Frykman, Dept. of Ethnology, University of Lund, Finngatan 8, SE-223 62 Lund.

  • The Soil Environment for Tuber Magnatum Growth in Motovun Forest, Istria
    NAT. CROAT. VOL. 13 No 2 171¿185 ZAGREB June 30, 2004 original scientific paper / izvorni znanstveni rad THE SOIL ENVIRONMENT FOR TUBER MAGNATUM GROWTH IN MOTOVUN FOREST, ISTRIA GILBERTO BRAGATO1,BARBARA SLADONJA2 &ÐORDANO PER[URI]2 1Istituto Sperimentale per la Nutrizione delle Piante, Via Trieste 23, 34170 Gorizia, Italy 2Institut za poljoprivredu i turizam, Carla Huguesa 8, 52440 Pore~, Croatia Bragato, G., Sladonja, B. & Per{uri}, \.: The soil environment for Tuber magnatum growth in Motovun Forest, Istria. Nat. Croat., Vol. 13, No. 2, 171–185, 2004, Zagreb. The mixed oak forest located near the town of Motovun is a well-known white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) producing area of the Istria region. Motovun Forest covers a 900-ha area in the flu- vial plain of the Mirna River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea through a hilly landscape originat- ing in a sedimentary sequence of a Triassic-Eocene carbonatic platform and Eocene-Oligocene Flysch turbidites. T. magnatum production has been decreasing in the last 10 years and a study was specifically performed in an attempt to explain this. Productive soils of the valley bottom were compared with unproductive soils on the slopes, the latter being drier, thinner and more developed than the former. T. magnatum carpophores are not found all over the fluvial plain and Motovun Forest was further subdivided into productive, unproductive and occasionally productive areas. All soils of the valley bottom were thick and continuously rejuvenated by the frequent arrival of fine sediments from slopes, but only unproductive ones were characterized by water saturation in some periods of the year.
