Popis: Tema ovoga nastojanja su predodžbe kitova u raznorodnim kulturnim praksama i međuvrsni odnosi čovjeka i kita. Promjene se proučavaju dijakronski, ali i sinkronijski, i to koristeći se Viskovićevom podjelom (1997.) na šest načina odnosa prema životinji. On razlikuje ekonomski, simbolički, umjetnički, osjećajni, znanstveni i etički pristup. Ta se podjela primjenjuje na izvore koji su uzeti iz različitih polja, od književnosti i filma do etnologije i ekologije. Ovim širokim presjekom i popularnim pristupom daje se pregled višestrukih i promjenjivih predodžba koje su bile ili jesu dominante u razdobljima tijekom povijesti. Uradak započinje kratkim osvrtom na najraniji simbolički i umjetnički pristup pa se zatim najviše pozornosti posvetilo kitolovu, to jest ekonomskom pristupu, koji zauzima posebno mjesto u povijesti odnosa čovjeka i kitova, što se analizira prvenstveno na temelju kulturnih postavka i značajki. Na kraju je pregled 20. stoljeća uz punu simultanost svih spomenutih pristupa, a ujedno se otvaraju još mnoga pitanja o prirodi kitova, ali i o nama samima.
The image of whales in different cultural practice and the interspecies relationship between humans and whales are main topics of this article. The changes are studied diachronically, but also synchronically using the division of human animal relations made by Visković (1997). He distinguishes the economic, symbolic, artistic, sentimental, scientific and ethical approach towards the animal. Visković’s division is applied on different sources which are taken from various fields ranging from literature and film to ethnology and ecology. This extensive outline and popular approach tries to give an overview of multiple and mutable images which have been dominant in different periods in history. This article starts with a short analysis of the earliest approaches, symbolic and artistic, only to continue more extensively with whaling, that is the economical approach which has a special place in history of human-whale relations. Whaling, herein analyzed, is primarily viewed on basis of its cultural presuppositions and characteristics. The twentieth century has been given special attention since it implies simultaneous presence of all the mentioned approaches. It also brings forth many questions on the nature of whales, as well as on the nature of ourselves.
