O partizanskim pjesmama kao folklornoj glazbi u okviru hrvаtske etnomuzikologije i oko nje
Croatian Ethnomusicology on the Partisan Songs

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of partisan songs from the Second World War, through insight into the research on this topic that has been undertaken in Croatia. Reviewing the song collections and scholarly works of Croatian ethnomusicologists and experts from related disciplines, aside from information about partisan music folklore, reveals the research methods and paradigmatic frameworks that conditioned the approach to this research topic. It turns out that such works are very scarce and that the partisan song material appears only sporadically in song collections and localized research. Despite the criticism that by such an approach the research of this topic was practically avoided, reading the ethnomusicological papers it can be still recognized that certain songs were based on the regional characteristics of traditional folk music and that the ethnomusicologists and folklorists from Croatia, after the 1970s, approached this topic through the then modern paradigm of folklore music.
