AND MONTENEGRO: ACTIVE VACATION DESTINATIONS 2 Dear Travelers 3 1 croa tia 0 AND MONTENEGRO: ACTIVE VACATION DESTINATIONS 2 dear travelers My first glimpse of Dubrovnik was in July of 2002. The car I was riding in rounded a bend on a mountain road to reveal the green hills and rocky coast of Lokrum Island below. Then Dubrovnik’s mosaic of red tile roofs and stone city walls set against the deep blue Adriatic came into view. I was captivated instantly. I bought a house, a sea kayak, and a bike and made Dubrovnik my home. I immediately fell in love with Croatia’s unspoiled Dalmatian coast. It is a true paradise for active or adventure travelers like me.

    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.

OKRUŽENJE Elafitski otoci čine skupinu manjih i većih otoka, otočića i hridi koji pripadaju najjužnijim otocima hrvatskog primorja, u neposrednoj blizini Dubrovnika. Mjesta su bujne mediteranske i suptropske vegetacije i bogate povijesti o kojoj svjedoči ostavština sakralne i svjetovne arhitekture. Elafitska otočna skupina se sastoji od 13 otoka: Olipa, Jakljan, Šipan, Lopud, Koločep, Daksa, Tajan, Crkvina, Goleč, Kosmeč, Mišnjak, Ruda i Sv. Andrija. Otočje administrativno pripada Gradu Dubrovniku i Dubrovačko neretvanskoj županiji. Ukupna površina elafitskog područja je 90 km2, od čega se na otoke odnosi 27 km2. Pružaju se u smjeru sjeverozapad-jugoistok (dinarski smjer). Ključna odrednica elafitskog prostora je inzularnost čije utjecaje umanjuju neraskidive veze s urbanim područjem grada Dubrovnika, a od dubrovačko- cavtatskog otočnog niza ih dijeli poluotok Lapad. Šipan, Koločep i Lopud su površinom najveći, infrastrukturno najrazvijeniji i jedini stalno naseljeni otoci.
