Spunti dall'isola di Cherso/Cres per una ricerca dedicata alla cultura alimentare dalle Alpi all'Adriatico

Abstract

Inspired by similar interests of ethnographic observation, which allowed Aleksandra Muraj to carry out important studies in some villages of the island of Cres (Muraj 1995, 1997), after more than thirty years of field surveys carried out by the Croatian researcher, the paper intends to examine some data collected in the same area. After a general introduction on the condition of anthropic environment and food culture, which must be placed in a demographic, economic and socio-cultural context profoundly transformed in recent decades, the contribution seeks to highlight some elements that testify to continuity and transmission, but also to the fragility of knowledge in the domain of food and of the environment in which it manifests itself, while also taking into consideration the tourism factor.
