H2020 CHIEF - Deliverable 5.1: Mapping Reports on Cultural Heritage

The general goal of this report is to affirm the inter-generational dynamics of cultural socialisation and the transmission and production of the significance of cultural heritage and identity. In doing so, it is crucial to research how the cultural knowledge and practices of respondents are shaped by the influence of family and older generations. This research includes a sample of respondents who volunteered to participate during interviews in previous work packages. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 respondents in 9 different families. The youngest respondent was 17 and the oldest was 81. As the interviews were conducted in February and March of 2020, field research was difficult to carry out. Audio recordings were made of all interviews, which were later transcribed, anonymised, and coded using Nvivo 9.2. In the Croatian context, ethnicity, religiousness, and level of education are key determinants in intercultural relations, as indicated by the findings of this research. The families included in this research can be divided into two heterogeneous groups. One is a group nearer to the concept of conservatism, or rather the accentuation of tradition, religiousness, and distance toward others. The second group is nearer to liberal values, such as secularism and inclusivity towards various minority groups. This division cannot be taken as absolute, as families display generational differences and the opinions of youth in some cases differs significantly from those of adults. Youth in conservative families are less prone and faithful to conservative values than their parents, while youth in liberal families are more likely to participate in civil society in an attempt to realise and promote liberal values in Croatian society. Perceptions of tradition and heritage are exceptionally diversely perceived in all families, as are the greatest social problems ; a significant portion of the youngest respondents emphasise the prevalence of prejudice and minority inequality in Croatian society. The European identity is also perceived in various ways, ranging from the opinion that we share little with Europe to an idealisation of the concept as a synonym for equality and multiculturalism. Faith and ethnicity are important to respondents from conservative families. These opinions and forms of behaviour are regularly transmitted to younger members. There are clear differences in respondents' habits and cultural participation. Some of these relate to value orientations, some to finances, and some to generational differences. All families showed a continuity in the production of meanings and practices, although there are distortions and deviations. Youth are generally more progressive and liberal than their parents, especially in comparison to their grandparents. In more liberal families, conversation and cultural practice indicate dialogue and mutual influence within two generations, as well as a particular influence of youth on their parents' opinions.Generally, youth are sceptical towards traditional forms of behaviour, both in their family and in society, as well as towards numerous traditions and heritage considered typical of Croatian society.
