Sažetak
Multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research of childhood has intensified over the last several decades. However, the research of childhood in Croatia is still on the margins of relevant disciplines. Contemporary multidisciplinary research of childhood requires encouragement, listening, recording and profound understanding of children's "voices", in order to overcome the notion of children as passive subjects of social structures and processes (Adr. James, Al. James, A. Prout). The forms of life stories (including childhood) are the most widespread oral genre, that not only places the "voice" of the child subject to the foreground, but also constitutes this subject through oral narrative discourse (J. Bruner, L. Capps, P. J. Eakin, D. McAdams, E. Ochs, K. Nelson). Personal oral narratives about childhood can be viewed from the aspect of folklore research and literary theory, but at the same time also as a method of research in other disciplines (oral history in historiography or life history in anthropology) and as material for the ethnography of childhood and growing up (I. Prica, M. Povrzanović, B. Ehn). This research tries to point to the multidisciplinary potential of the research of personal oral narratives about childhood, which is especially relevant for approaches in folklore research and cultural anthropology.
