Abstract

This thesis analyses the use of Kerestinec Castle’s space in the context of the manifestation Sveta Nedelja’s Cultural Summer. Starting from theoretical framework of anthropological festival studies and anthropology of place and space, the author analyses different ways of construction and usage of castle’s space as protected immovable cultural good listed in the Registry of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia. Relying on the participant observation ethnographic method and semi-structured interviews, the thesis questions practices and narratives of the actors gathered around public events in the castle (organisers, performers, audience). The role of cultural politics within the problems of the renovation and revitalisation of the castle is also analysed.
