Abstract

Im Nordosten Italiens, im Valcanale, berühren sich drei große Sprachfamilien Europas: Romanen, Slawen und Germanen, und seit vielen Jahrzehnten leben in den Dörfern vier Ethnien – Slowenen, Deutsche, Italiener und Friulaner – auf engem Raum zusammen. Die slowenisch- und deutschsprachige autochthone ... view more

Im Nordosten Italiens, im Valcanale, berühren sich drei große Sprachfamilien Europas: Romanen, Slawen und Germanen, und seit vielen Jahrzehnten leben in den Dörfern vier Ethnien – Slowenen, Deutsche, Italiener und Friulaner – auf engem Raum zusammen. Die slowenisch- und deutschsprachige autochthone Bevölkerung ist allerdings in den letzten Jahrzehnten zunehmend vom Aussterben bedroht. Der Aufsatz vermittelt neben Einblicken in das Forschungsdesign einen ersten Eindruck von den ethnischen, lokalen und regionalen Identitätsmustern der alteingesessenen Bevölkerung in den Dörfern des Tales. Wie sehen sich die Menschen in diesem bunten ethnischen Gemisch? Was erzählen sie vom Zusammenleben im Dorf und in der Region, die bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg noch zur Österreich-Ungarischen Monarchie gehörte? Die Antworten weisen in eine Richtung: Die lokale und regionale Zugehörigkeit ist besonders in der älteren Generation noch im Bewusstsein verankert und z.T. der ethnischen Identität übergeordnet – z.B. um Konflikte zu vermeiden. In der jüngeren Generation hingegen zeigen sich Verluste von lokalen und regionalen Bezügen, vereinzelt jedoch verknüpft mit dem Wunsch, diese neu zu beleben.... view less

In the Valcanale - a valley in the north-east of Italy - three European language families, Romans, Slavs and Germans have been living together peacefully for decades. In the villages four ethnic groups, Slovenes, Germans, Italians and Friulians have been sharing their lives and working together for many years. The autochthonous languages German and Slovene, however, have suffered dramatic losses and in a few years they could disappear altogether. In the following article the essential details of the research-project will be presented. With extracts from biographical life stories and narrative interviews, results about local and regional identities of the autochthonous people in the Valcanale will be documented: What are the self-concepts of the people living in this "melting pot"? What are people telling about their living together in a region, which until World War I was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? The results indicate the following: a sense of local and regional awareness has been developed and keeps overlapping ethnic identity in the elderly generation. In contrast a loss of local and regional identities can be noticed on the part of the younger generation—in some cases connected with the desire to revive old costumes.... view less
