The challenges of applied ethnology in Croatia

The appearance and the positive and the negative reception of the staged performance of a contemporary church feast by the profession and the TV, as a public medium, have enticed the rethinking of the ways of evaluation and the authorities which decide on the representativeness of certain folklore performances. The text discusses the question of the folk art, especially folk dance, song, costume, their stage presentation, and the questions - what is these days considered authentic in this field of cultural activity and evaluation, what is considered representative, who creates contemporary folklore, who evaluates and interprets it and how, what is the current state of this field in Croatia, and how public opinion on this matter is created and shaped.
