Dervish ritual through ethnomusicological and gender perspective. The example of the Rufai order in Croatia

The paper is based on observation and narrative interviews, both particular anthropological fieldwork methods. The short-term ethnographic fieldwork was conducted among dervishes of the Rufai order, placed in Pehlin (improvised settlement, town of Rijeka, Adriatic Coast) while celebrating Nevruz (22.3.). In this paper we examine the ways in which the self-identity is constructed throughout the fact of having specific musical skills, or, on the other hand, being a woman.
