Konstrukcije identiteta i muzeološka interpretacija kulture zajednica u Istri
Identity Construction and Museological Interpretation of the Community Culture in Istria

Summary/Abstract: The role of a regional ethnographic museum is considered, whose professionals are aware of the fact that today, when interpreting culture in a museum, one should take into account local voices, i.e. the view from within. However, some community representatives have influential, yet individual and personal ways of interpreting local culture in question, that can differ from the other community members views, and especially from the ethnographer’s conclusion. Some other communities invent new traditions. In the text, two such examples from Istria are described. Various approaches are discussed on how ethnographers that interpret source communities should act and what dilemmas arise in such situations.
