“Gračanički glasnik”–iskustva i rezultati jedne uspješne kulturne misije
“Gračanica Messenger”– the experiences and results of a successful cultural mission

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author questioned in more details the realization of the mission of this magazine during the past two decades during which this magazine exists on the cultural scene, not of one local community on which the title suggests, but in the specific manner in the wider area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author emphasizes that the magazine, following its program conception consistently, achieved to keep its balance (as well as mutual complement) concerning its content between the articles, which carry the sign “artistic” (literature, painting, art) and those carrying the sign “scientific” (historiography, ethnography, folk tradition, spirituality, etc.) As a historian, in this paper, however, the author dedicated an especial attention to the question of the contribution of the Magazine in the field of historiography, thus emphasizing the special contributions for the affirmation of the so called local history. It is confirmed by the fact that in the template of this Magazine five years ago in Gračanica a scientific meeting dedicated to the place and function of the local historiography in our culture of memory was organized. Referring to the conclusions of that meeting, the author also claims that (1) the magazine has to continue its cultural mission on this concept, and (2) it can serve as an example of “good practice” to all subjects that intent to initiate projects like these or similar.
