Abstract
The paper explores the work of one of the first Croatian women ethnographers, Kata Jajnčerova. Although a women of the previous century and a peasant women of limited education destined to become the first ethnographic sight witness, Kata Jajnčerova stands as a cornerstone in nativistic teleologies of nation formation, as well as a scholarly exemplar of an early self-explanatory “native” ethnographic correspondent. The aim of the paper is to frame the obsessive topics and techniques of Jajnčerova’s authority. The paper focuses on the mechanisms by which a native subject wishes for and constructs the emancipation of the peasantry from the epistemic obliteration by dominant political narratives – both by introducing the idea of voicing the experience and by solidifying a narrative to become a written testimony of the folk.
