Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Figures -- Preface to the English Translation -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Chapter 1. On Tapija: An Ethnography of the City’s Imponderables -- Chapter 2. Boredom, or the City Yawns -- Chapter 3. On Dominant Articulations and Reaches of Tapija -- Conclusion -- References -- Index
Summary: Based on interviews and fieldwork conducted among residents of Pula, a coastal city in Northwestern Croatia, this study explores various aspects of a local feeling of boredom. This is mirrored in the term tapija, a word of Turkish origin describing a property deed, and in Pula’s urban slang it has morphed from its original sense describing a set of affective states into one of lameness, loneliness, unwillingness, and irony. Combining lively conversations with a significant bibliography of the topic, the result is a compelling local anthropological study of boredom in a wider historical and global context.
