Slijedeći metodološki okvir Roberta Darntona i njegov mikroanalitički pristup u istraživanju povijesti čitanja, ovaj rad nastoji rekonstruirati čitateljski profil još uvijek nedovoljno poznate ...osječke književnice Vilme Vukelić. Na temelju sadržajne analize autoričinih memoara i obiteljske kronike njezina unuka nastoji se utvrditi što je autorica čitala tijekom života, što je i tko utjecao na formiranje njezina čitateljskoga ukusa, zašto je i kako čitala te što su za nju knjige i čitanje predstavljali. Rezultati analize daju prilično detaljan uvid u njezin čitateljski svijet u razdoblju djevojaštva, a o čitateljskim preferencijama u zreloj dobi, kad se više posvetila pisanju, znamo nešto manje. Ipak, i tako djelomična rekonstrukcija njezina čitateljskoga profila otkriva da je bila velika ljubiteljica knjige i čitanja, dobra poznavateljica europske i domaće literature te da je zainteresirano pratila idejna i politička strujanja prve polovine XX. stoljeća, koja su zasigurno imala velikoga utjecaja na oblikovanje autoričinih feminističkih i ljevičarskih nazora.
Following the methodological framework of Robert Darnton and his micro-analytical approach to studying the history of reading, this paper attempts to reconstruct the reading profile of Vilma Vukelić, a still insufficiently known Croatian writer who expressed herself in German. By applying a content analysis of the author’s memoirs and the extensive family chronicle of her grandson, the aim is to determine what Vilma Vukelić read during her life, who and what influenced her reading tastes, why and how she read, the context of her reading habits, and what books and reading meant to her. The results of the analysis offer a fairly detailed insight into the reading world of her youth, but we know somewhat less about her reading preferences as an adult, when she devoted herself more to writing. Still, even such a partial reconstruction of her reading profile reveals that Vilma Vukelić was a great lover of books and reading, well-acquainted with European and Croatian literature, and that she followed the literary trends as well as the ideas and political currents of the first half of the 20th century with interest. The books she read certainly had a great influence on shaping her feminist and left-wing views.

In the late 18th century and early 19th century, during a period of extensive changes in the writing and reading culture, there was an increase not only in the number of readers but also in the ...importance that was being attributed to them. This importance manifested itself primarily in an increasingly widespread collective patronage but also a rising number of inscriptions to the collective reader that flourished at about the same time as the collective patronage phenomenon. Although books continued to be dedicated to various dignitaries throughout this period, most frequently as a token of gratitude for financial support but also inspired by friendship and family, the writers, who still rarely lived off the fruits of their labour, started to adopt a different attitude towards the reader. Using examples drawn from analysis of the entire book production in Dalmatian printing and publishing centres Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik in the period between 1815-1850, this paper intends to show to what extent inscriptions to the collective reader, generally identifiable by the fact that they address an unspecified reader or an entire community of readers, can reflect a growing significance that started to be attributed to the reader as early as the end of the 18th century and particularly in the first half of the 19th century. The analysis focused on the number and context in which inscriptions of that type are found, their variants, meaning, as well as reasons for their introduction into practice. Research has shown that inscriptions to the general readership became a common and regular form of communication with an entire community of readers as far back as the ‘20s. Although they were still not the most common type of inscriptions and failed to reach the number of inscriptions to prelates, their continuity was maintained during the next two centuries, which was particularly noticeable in the ‘40s. Moreover, the general readership was mainly dedicated literary works - poetry collections printed on the occasion of emperor’s birthday, works of Dubrovnik literature, plays and biographies. A smaller number of books were of religious origin or those in the field of history, geography, social anthropology, linguistics and even architecture. Inscriptions were used in an effort not only to make books and reading popular but also to reinforce readers’ love for their national tongue, i.e., national consciousness in general, just the same as it was endeavoured to be done through subscription system. Moral-didactic and religious works were intended to strengthen readers’ spirit and morality. It has been concluded that continued increase in the number of inscriptions to the general readership as well as the fact that they flourished precisely during the period of significant changes in the field of reading culture witness of an increasing importance of readers that marked the first half of the 19th century.

In most of the Western European countries the late 18th and the early 19th centuries were marked by significant changes in the field of book production, reading habits and reading culture in general. ...These changes resulted, among other things, in a growing number of readers and their significance. Although some changes in reading habits occurred in Dalmatia, albeit to a limited extent and with less influence on society as a whole, the reading public (though quite restricted in terms of its number) gained great significance in this region too, particularly in the early 19th century, marked by the growing national sentiment all around Europe. The importance of the reading public was the most evident in a more and more widespread model of collective sponsorship, which in the social history of book had not attracted the necessary attention among Croats. This new publishing and library phenomenon implied a system of subscription and gradually replaced a long-established model of individual funding. Based on the research on book production in all the three Dalmatian printing and publishing centres - Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik - in the period from 1815 till 1850 - the aim of this paper is to show that the phenomenon of collective sponsorship can be regarded as a new relationship between a writer and his/her readers, which gradually began to emerge. The author analyses the intensity of the system of subscription, reasons for its increasingly widespread use, as well as the ways and context of its practice. First, the paper discusses the problems which writers (as well as publishers and printers) faced while attempting to obtain financial support. Second, the paper shows the writers’ efforts to attract as many subscribers as possible, usually by constant appeals for subscription published in newspapers and journals of the period. Third, the paper suggests that finding subscribers became particularly important in the early 19th century, when many writers tended to support the national welfare by their nationally imbued writings, usually but not exclusively written in the vernacular. They cherished the idea of considering the collective sponsorship the greatest expression of patriotism, particularly from the late 1840s when both the appeals for subscription and books with accompanying subscription lists became more common. The paper also gives an insight into the authorship and character of the books with subscription lists as well as a general insight into the body of their subscribers. Finally, the paper concludes that in spite of the fact that one can hardly identify a motive for subscription for each subscriber (which can be done only by consulting a series of other sources), patriotism was definitely the most frequent one, in tune with the overall national spirit of the early 19th century.
Cilj. Cilj je istraživanja utvrditi obilježavaju li i kako hrvatske narodne knjižnice Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga, manifestaciju koja, obično u posljednjem tjednu rujna, slavi slobodu čitanja.
...Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Najprije su, pretraživanjem mrežnih stranica knjižnica, kao i njihovih Facebook profila, pronađene knjižnice koje obilježavaju Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga. Dodatno je, prema točno određenim ključnim riječima, pretražen i Google. Nakon toga provedena je sadržajna analiza prikupljenih vijesti i objava. Istraživanje je najprije provedeno tijekom listopada 2021. godine, a potom ponovljeno krajem rujna i početkom listopada 2022. godine. Cilj je bio utvrditi jesu li u međuvremenu još neke narodne knjižnice obilježile tu manifestaciju.
Rezultati. Istraživanjem se utvrdilo da samo dvadeset narodnih knjižnica (od njih 234) obilježava Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga, što čini samo 8,55 % svih narodnih knjižnica. Najstarija mrežno dostupna vijest o obilježavanju te manifestacije datira iz 2011. godine, iz čega zaključujemo da se Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga u nas obilježava tek posljednjih desetak godina, a ondje gdje se obilježava čini se to često bez kontinuiteta. Način obilježavanja također je još uvijek vrlo skroman pa je uočeno samo nekoliko kreativnijih primjera. Iz navedenog se može zaključiti da se Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga u hrvatskim narodnim knjižnicama još ne obilježava u većoj mjeri te da taj projekt u nas nije u potpunosti zaživio.
Ograničenja. Zbog velikog broja knjižnica u Hrvatskoj istraživanje je ograničeno samo na narodne knjižnice. Također, iako se koristilo nekoliko načina evidentiranja knjižnica koje obilježavaju Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga, kao i različite strategije pretraživanja, vrlo je vjerojatno da one nisu jedine.
Praktična primjena. U radu su predstavljene različite mogućnosti i načini obilježavanja Tjedna zabranjenih knjiga. Rad je ujedno poziv ostalim knjižnicama da se priključe proslavi slobode čitanja i otvorenog pristupa informacijama.
Društveni značaj. Rad upućuje na važnu ulogu narodnih knjižnica, kao i knjižnica općenito, u borbi protiv cenzure pisane riječi, kao i u zagovaranju ideje slobode čitanja i intelektualnih sloboda općenito te tako i na njihovu važnu ulogu u izgradnji i razvoju demokratskog društva.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Originalnost rada ogleda se u tome što se u njemu predstavlja istraživanje čija tematika nije dovoljno zastupljena u Hrvatskoj. Do sada još nije učinjeno slično istraživanje o obilježavanju Tjedna zabranjenih knjiga u Hrvatskoj.
Članak nastao je na temelju diplomskog rada Katarine Baričević koji je značajno dorađen. Rad pod naslovom „Tjedan zabranjenih knjiga u hrvatskim knjižnicama“ obranjen je na Filozofskom fakultetu u Osijeku 28. listopada 2021. Mentorica je bila profesorica Jelena Lakuš.
