Abstract

The paper gives account of a case study on the thread and cotton yarn factory Dalmatinka in Sinj, focusing on working culture as the backbone of collective memory within the local community. Starting with ethnography of the factory collapse, through to elaboration of the concept of labor in the context of socialist Yugoslavia, two interrelated thematic units are presented that examine the key elements for the construction of the memory. Based on their statements, the relationship between workers and the factory as a wholesome concept is studied. Following these conclusions, the paper concentrates on contemporary interpretations of Dalmatinka’s immaterial heritage. An analysis of an interdisciplinary project, aimed at reevaluating the factory’s contribution to town’s infrastructural, economic and cultural development, demonstrates the solidification of Dalmatinka in collective memory. Likewise, on a more general level, it indicates the aftermath of the processes of political transition and deindustrialization on demographic and economic structure of population of Sinj.
