Heritage–making processes by different actors, namely nations and increasingly local or regional communities, various minority groups and indigenous communities - they markedly contribute to displaying their own cultural distinctiveness and (re)constructing identities through ongoing engagements. Natural wonders, tangible artefacts (monuments, buildings, cities, bridges, landscapes, seascapes, digital texts and images and intangible cultural phenomena (expressive art forms and rituals, oral performative acts, distinctive practices, knowledge and skills of people, living folklore, etc.) all may qualify as belonging to the domain of heritage. That’s why multidisciplinary angles are required to explore heritage issues. Potentially anything in the human world can be defined as heritage and worthy of protection and re-use if it is interpreted as such. (Re)evaluation is based on the notion of relevance in the present-day. In our world of pluralist modes of thinking and multiple perspectives, the principle of cultural freedom for interpretation and questioning established heritage forms of all kinds is both strengthened or, according to the given social relations of power, often challenged. The process of interpreting can be considered as part of our social learning, all of us are brought up surrounded by „heritages” defined by the contexts we live in and stories that are told and countlessly retold shaping our collective sense-making. The present era of cultural diversity makes us much more conscious of the plurality (and rivalry) of interpretations. Over the last decades an enourmous growth in heritage discourse has appeared characterized by a growing diversity and richness. This discourse has been prompted by the ’identity-talk’ or ’identity politics ’ in social and cultural sciences, adding to the so called ’cultural turn’ or interpretative shifts in the academic field that promoted a new wave of memory studies and narratologies. Not only the cultural and moral aspects are important here but the economic dimension as well. The term ’heritage industry” has spread lately alongside the actual business and investment practices and financial benefits accrued in and by the field of international heritage and cultural tourism. Worldwide there is a growing interest in travelling and seeking out interesting and authentic human experiences, exploring new life-worlds beyond the visitors’ own, so cultural and heritage tourism seems to be on the rise. Advocating and applying sustainable tourism principles can be not only a source of economic benefit but may act as a tool for empowering local citizen groups. Cultural practitioners, especially museum experts are key players in displaying different forms of heritage and at present they show renewed impetus to evoke alternative versions of previously dominant interpretations. It is not easy to make sense of this rapid and dynamic development but it is obvious that heritage attraction development and innovative modes of presentation became embraced by different cultural intermediary professions and the field is perceived as a resource of multiple value. Involving the public, engaging civil society, community development and creating partnerships are all part of the cultural practitioners’ portfolio in all aspects of people-centred heritage management that favours participatory approaches all across the board. Heritage is seen not only as a memory base of communities that needs to be preserved but as a resource that can trigger innovation and can act as a force for revitalization in rural or urban development as well. UNESCO has become a strong advocate for promoting the idea of preserving and displaying unique human treasures of universal value, the great icons of civilisations as items of world heritage.

  • Croatia in the Economic Structure of the Habsburg Empire in the Light of the 1857 Census
    MARIANN NAGY Sveučilište u Pečuhu, Mađarska Izlaganje na znanstvenom skupu UDK: 314.18(497.5)”1857” Croatia in the Economic Structure of the Habsburg Empire in the Light of the 1857 Census The census of 1857 was the first census in the Habsburg Empire where the occupa- tions of those conscripted were asked. The paper examines the occupational struc- ture of active population in Civil Croatia and in Croatian-Slavonian Military Frontier and compares it with that of the other lands and regions of the Empire. On the strength of occupational structure and livestock density tries to determine the level of development of the Croatian economy and place Croatia in the eco- nomic hierarchy of lands and regions. Keywords: economic structure, census of 1857, Habsburg Empire, Croatia After the census taken under the rule of Joseph II it took more than 60 years to have a new census in the countries of the Hungarian Crown.1 Until the mid-19th century there was no unified census structure in the Habsburg Empire. In the majority of the Austrian lands primarily military censuses whereas e.g. in Tyrolia, Dalmatia and Vorarlberg censuses with a political focus where held on a regular basis. In Hungary, Croatia and Transylvania the conscriptions informed about the numbers of the non – nobles according to age, sex and status as well as about the three basic figures of demography. After the political and administrative reorganization of the Monarchy in 1849 the need emerged for a new census. The census of 1850, however, was interrupted due to the military preparations against Prussia and was finished in summer 1851.

  • Development and Institutional Persistence of the Habsburg Military Frontier in Croatia
    History matters: development and institutional persistence of the Habsburg Military Frontier in Croatia MARINA TKALEC, Ph.D.* Article** JEL: C33; E02; E26; H41; O11 https://doi.org/10.3326/pse.44.1.4 * This research was done while the author was a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science Centre for research on South Eastern Europe.

We use the Life in Transition Survey and geo- graphic regression discontinuity design to identify the causal mechanism between historical institutions and attitudes towards trust and corruption. We find that the 44 (1) 117-145 (2020) 44 (1) 117-145 ECONOMICS PUBLIC areas of the former Military Frontier are underdeveloped and poorer with worse SECTOR economic performance indicators. Our results suggest that respondents living in the former Military Frontier territory have lower levels of interpersonal trust, a higher level of trust in public authorities, but also tend to bribe those institutions more often when they interact with them. We claim that the war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s is not just a confounding factor in the analysis but also a potential chan- nel and find evidence that attitudes towards bribery can survive even harsh wars, while trust in public institutions collapses during extreme events of violence.

  • Mihajlo Pupin and Father Vasa Živković
    Mihajlo Pupin and father Vasa Živković DRAGOLJUB A. CUCIĆ Regional centre for talents “Mihajlo Pupin”, Pančevo, Serbia, [email protected] Summary There is often a bond between two great men of a society at the time when one is at the peak of his life and the other at its beginning. The great Serbian 19th century poet, clergyman and educator father Vasa Živković, interceding in favour of his student Mihajlo Pupin, significantly influenced the conditions necessary for Pupin`s development into the person he later became. Mihajlo Pupin was certainly not the only student to benefit from father Vasa Živković advice and material support. However their relationship is a perfect example of an acclaimed person successfully influencing a person yet to win acclaim. Key words: Mihajlo Pupin, father Vasa Živković, Pančevo, secondary school1, parish, scholarship, Prague. Introduction Many books, studies and papers were written about Mihajlo Pupin and many national and international symposiums were dedicated to his life and work. Inspite of everything that was achieved in bringing to light Pupin`s life and work there are still insufficiently explored periods filled with important events and influences. The reason to adventure into this work is the educational character of discovering talent in the pupils and giving necessary support throughout the adversity of growing up. Many talents have disappeared in the everyday of life for the lack of support when it was most needed. Supporting the talented students does not ensure that their talent would be successfully developed. Many factors need be fulfilled before this is achieved: diligence, health, good fortune ..

  • Mircea Măran a Brief History of Romanians in the Serbian Banat
    Mircea Măran A Brief History of Romanians in the Serbian Banat Abstract: Romanian inhabitants live in nearly forty villages in that part of Banat which used to belong to the former state of Yugoslavia and which now belongs to the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, i.e. Republic of Serbia. The Romanian inhabitants were colonized in the area, i.e. in the space of contemporary Vojvodina, mostly in the 18th and the first decades of the 19th century from the eastern parts of Banat. A number of villages were inhabited by settlers from other parts of Romanian ethnic space, before all from Oltenia, Transilvania and Crişana. The newcomers were settled in the places existing since the Turkish, and even medieval times, while in some cases completely new settlements were established. After the World War I and the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Banat was divided between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Romania. The status of the Romanian minority in Banat was regulated by international contracts signed after the World War I, as well as by various Yugoslav-Romanian contracts. Therefore, conditions were created for the Romanian national minority in the Yugoslav (Serbian) Banat to exercise their national rights, which enabled their survival in the region to the present day. Today, the Romanian minority is found on the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Despite their significant decrease in numbers, they still have a rich cultural life and are active in different domains of the society. They preserve their identity due to the existence of schools taught in the Romanian language, of the Romanian Orthodox Church, as well as due to national mass media that have program in the languages of the minorities as well.

  • Settlements on the Tamis River
    - New tourism product SETTLEMENTS ON THE TAMIŠ RIVER SETTLEMENTS ON THE TAMIŠ RIVER - New tourism product 2 SETTLEMENTS ON THE TAMIŠ RIVER - New tourism product SETTLEMENTS ON THE TAMIŠ RIVER Over centuries, numerous settlements were established along rivers. The same applies to the Tamiš River that, on its long way, connects villages and cities of two countries. The spring of the Tamiš River is in Tarcu Mauntains (Tarcu Peak, 2190 m), part of the Romanian Carpathian Mountains. The Tamiš is 359 km long. It flows through the Banat region and into the Danube River near Pančevo. Out of 359 km, for 241 km the river flows through Romania, and for 118 km it flows through Serbia. The main settlements in the Romanian part are: Caransebes and Lugoj. In Serbia, the Tamiš River flows through the areas of the municipalities/cities in the Central Banat and South Banat administrative dis- tricts: Sečanj, Zrenjanin, Kovačica, Opovo and Pančevo. Along the Tamiš River banks, there are mainly rural and agricultural areas, with villages typical for Vojvodina, with traditional Pannonian architecture. Out of the total number of employed people, more than 50% are employed within the sectors of agri- culture, forestry and fishery. This indicates clear connectedness with and reliance on natural resources. All the settlements are affected by constant depopulation. The entire area is an “ecologically significant area” and part of the ecological network of Serbia. The preparation of a Draft Spatial Plan of Spe- cial-Purpose Area with Outstanding Forms “The Tamiš River Basin” is underway, and a procedure has been initiated for providing protection for this area and proclaiming it I category protected area.
