Ethnological, Teleological and Axiological Components of the Traditional Upbringing in the Earliy 20th Century in Bosnia and Herzegovina

This paper looks at and compares two books. The first is entitled “The Life and Practices of Croats of Catholic Faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina” (Sarajevo, 1908) and was written by Nikola Buconjić (1865–1947), a poet, prose writer and ethnographer. The title of the second one is “Muslim Life and Practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina” (Sarajevo, 1907, 2nd ed.). It was written by Anuna Hangija (1866–1909), an ethnographer and folklorist. Both writers worked as teachers. The books served to look at the foundations, methodologies, teleology and axiology of the process of raising children at the beginning of the 20th century in one part of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian population. It has been noted that the process of raising children is based on respect for authority and family hierarchy focusing on the child at the end of that process. The authority, on the other hand, builds its foundation on the right to have access to material goods and is further reinforced by tradition, social system and religion. Implementation (methodology) of the educational process is marked by minimal technical, educational and medical conditions, with a high percentage of child mortality. According to the traditional pattern of education, it was considered that it was necessary to allow an immature individual to adopt a form of socially acceptable behaviour based on respect for authority (teleology) according to the principle: the child is allowed – the child is forbidden. The relevant authorities are parents, followed by teachers or the state, and the church. With the development of the means of production and the raising of the level of literacy and schooling, the conditions can be reached for the child to be raised as an independent and self-aware individual and a responsible member of society.

Proširena inačica ovog rada na hrvatskom jeziku objavljena je: Tomić, Draženko: "Elementi tradicionalno-autoritativnoga odgoja početkom 20. stoljeća u Bosni i Hercegovini", u: Hercegovina franciscana, 17(2021) 15, str. 179-199. Ovaj rad promatra i uspoređuje dvije knjige: "Život i običaji Hrvata katoličke vjere u Bosni i Hercegovini" (Sarajevo, 1908.) Nikole Buconjića (1865. – 1947.) pjesnika, prozaika i etnografa, učitelja po struci, i "Život i običaji muslimana u Bosni i Hercegovini" (Sarajevo, 1907, 2. izd.) Anuna Hangija (1866. – 1909.) etnografa, folkloriste i također učitelja po struci. Knjige su poslužile kako bi se sagledali temelji, metodologija, teleologija i aksiolgija odgojnog procesa početkom 20. stoljeća u dijelu bosanko-hercegovačkog življa. Uočeno je kako se odgojni proces temelji na poštivanju autoriteta i obiteljske hijerarhije, na čijem svršetku je upravo dijete. Autoritet, pak, svoj temelj gradi na pravu raspolaganja materijalnim dobrima, a dodatno je učvršćen tradicijom, dr
