cercetătorului de a descoperi obiecte autentice se loveşte de multe ori de caracterul din ce în ce mai perisabil al patrimoniului cultural tradiţional. Intensificarea cercetărilor etnografice realizate pe diferite teme, în special pe anumite zone, cele ale căror valori, odinioară numeroase, sunt acum pe cale de dispariţie, constituie singura soluţie pentru a documenta, cel puţin, nişte elemente culturale a căror existenţă nu va depăşi mai mult de câţiva ani.

Daily universe of the Ukranians in Ruscova

Abstract

The paper presents a case study of the local traditions of a minority localized in Northern Romania. The Ukrainians living in Ruscova (Maramureş County) have conserved a rich cultural heritage, specific for this area and for this ethnic group, but also unique by a few distinct elements. The costume is one of the most representative features of a tradiţional community. The Ukrainian tradiţional costume has a rich terminology, corresponding the variety of elements of the feminine and masculine costume. The terminology and character of the costume differs also from region to region, even from viliágé to viliágé. For example, every Ukrainian viliágé has its own specific colors, shape and omaments of the aprón (“zadia”). Every tradiţional costume has its own significance: ceremonial, ritual, social status, age etc. Nowadays the tradiţional costume is no longer a permanent feature of the viliágé, being used only during the folkloric representations. Unfortunately, the tradiţional values of the viliágé are no longer what they used to be, and the attempt of the ethnographer to discover authentic artifacts is limited by the perishable character of the tradiţional cultural heritage.
