Sanja Durin (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research, Zagreb): “From pasture to wilderness: How Velebit became the ultimate place of solitude and adventure”
Abstract: Although today represented as “wild”, the Velebit mountain was for centuries the habitat of people, a place of coexistence of herders and nature. Today, only old photos and piles of stacked stones that were once the homes, “stanovi” of herders and their families tell about it. As A. L. Tsing noted for forests, natural landscapes “are always historical – and the habits through which we learn to forget this blinds us to the dynamism of nature”. Velebit’s landscapes and narratives about them change because their visitors change, too. Recent (re)popularization of wilderness through outdoor lifestyle has created an imaginary of untouched, “virgin”, indestructible and attractive Velebit’s wilderness. Using a rephotograph of the Velebit landscapes, I question the changes in the relationship between man and the mountain and the environmental changes of the Velebit landscapes.
