ОД КЛОТ ПАСУЉА ДО САРМИ СА СОЈОМ – Пост кроз народну традицију Срба у српском и румунском Банату

Abstract

Research of traditional culture, with a special emphasis on ceremonial nutrition, on the territory of Serbian and Romanian Banat, have been carried out for many years within two projects – „Exploring the history and culture of Serbs in Romania“, organized by the Scientific Centre at the Union of Serbs in Romania (Timisoara, Romania) and „The culture of nutrition in Vojvodina through ceremonial practice. Linguistic and ethnological aspect“ and „The culture of nutrition in Vojvodina. Linguistic and ethnological aspect“, owned by Matica srpska (Novi Sad, Serbia). As a participant in the first mentioned project I want to extract one of the segments from the rich notes from the field relating to the ceremonial nutrition in the fast and present the similarities observed in traditional forms, but also notable changes in Serbs on both sides of the state border. The work will show past and present methods and motives of fasting as well as the process of preparing ceremonial fast food. One of the goals set out in the work is to illuminate socio-politicaleconomic circumstances for maintaining / not maintaining fasting, i.e., to point out changes made over time and therefore a new picture of traditional culture. Through the presentation of shorter segments of transcripts and comments from the author of the text, it will show not only the richness of the timber, but also the identity elements that connect the Serbian people separated by the state border.
