Between Boredom, Pride and Relaxation: Pula’s feeling of Tapija
Based on a one year fieldwork in Istria’s largest town of Pula and rooted in twenty ethnographic interviews, the presentation of this paper will sketch and analyze particular feeling and affect named tapija that is a significant part of underground scene and city’s unofficial history and its present time. Sometimes described as a mere “heavy boredom”, “a problem” or as a “critique”, its pronunciation or detection almost always describes or tells us about the lack [upućuje na manjkavost] of something or somebody. Although tapija can be applied to a variety of situations, the research has detected several topoi that are more often connected to it: popular culture with concerts in particular is a highly fertile ground for its articulation and pride that goes with it ; Pula’s wintertime, when compared to summer movement and tourist season, is very often said to be tapija. Latter one brings us to its most underlined comparison – the feeling of a heavy boredom: “when you just cannot bear it anymore”, as some of my informants claim. But boredom itself is not a “neutral” affect born ex nihilo, and, thus, neither is tapija when analyzed from this angle. Depending on time at my disposal for presentation, I will claim that the concept of tapija has undergone significant semantic changes from 1970’s onwards that reflect wider socio-economic changes in the Region and the City, and jargon, with the concept of tapija in particular, is one of its litmus papers.
