Abstract
The article deals with the Velebit mountain range and how it has become established within wilderness discourse. For the sake of tourism, it is today presented as “wild”, as a place of adventure and wilderness; however, Velebit mountain was for centuries a place where her-ders and their families coexisted with the Velebit landscape. This article discusses the domi-nant wilderness narrative of Velebit mountain range in the context of adventure tourism. The discourse on Velebit has changed in the past ten to fifteen years, ever since tourism in Croatia has been taken in a new direction with the goal of becoming a destination for active holidays. Based on ethnographic and archival work, online content, blogs and travel litera-ture analysis, the paper describes this switch in the cultural meaning of Velebit.

Title:Od pašnikov do divjine : kako je Velebit postal popoln kraj divjine in pustolovščin
Abstract:
Članek obravnava gorovje Velebit in njegovo umestitev v diskurz o divjini. Čeprav je Velebit že stoletja kraj, kjer sobivajo pastirji, njihove družine in velebitska pokrajina, pa je danes zaradi turizma območje predstavljeno kot »divje«, kot kraj pustolovščin in divjine. Čla-nek se ukvarja s prevladujočim diskurzom o divjini velebitskega gorovja v kontekstu pusto-lovskega turizma. Diskurz o Velebitu se je spremenil v zadnjih desetih do petnajstih letih, odkar je cilj turizma na Hrvaškem postati destinacija za aktivne počitnice. Prispevek na podlagi etnografskega in arhivskega dela, spletnih vsebin, blogov in analize potopisne literature ponuja vpogled v to spremembo kulturnega pomena Velebita.

Keywords:kulturna antropologija, divjina, turizem, poblagovljanje, pustolovski turizem, gorovje Velebit, Hrvaška
