| Summary: | The paper starts from the critique of the opinion that has developed in the
21st century within the framework of Serbian ethnological / anthropological
science, and is related to the study and interpretation of traditional
clothing of the rural population. Namely, the work of ethnologists /
curators is criticized as the romantic relics in Serbian museology, who is
consisted of the endless description of clothing and decorations on them.
This paper has intention to point out some different ways of thinking on the
Collections of traditional clothing in Serbia. The openness of anthropology
to other humanities can help us find new ways to interpret the artefacts of
the past. In terms of the use of other approaches, we primarily mean the
theory of fashion, gender studies, cultural history, but also some of the
anthropological approaches to clothing that are less used in our country,
such as the theory of cultural authentication. Also, in the paper has been
pointed out on the terminolgy distinction between traditional clothes / folk
costume / folk dress and fashion clothes which has existed in the
anthropology of clothing for a long time, and refers to diferent lines of
identity and function wearer of clothes. This terminological distinction is
very important in the initial interpretation of artefacts that can be found
in clothing collections today. In the second part of the paper author
applies the theoretical concept named The Dress detective, by Mida and Kim,
on an apron from the Collection of Folk Costumes and Clothing of the Museum
of Vojvodina. Analysis of the apron from village Čurug brought the author to
the new concept of scientific approach to the museum objects, especially
those made of textile. |
