Journal Title: Fizička kultura - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 2
Abstract
Basic ideas and characteristics of fundamental falconry are disseminated also in the Kingdom of Serbia, ideas of fellowship, releasing of Germanization infl uence and strengthening of national and cultural conscience. Gymnastics associations accepted the idea of overall Slavic falconry exercising, and added to their names title “Falcon”, as in Czech Falcons, and introduced Czech “Falcon” exercising system, instead of German one. Also Smederevo Gymnastics and Combat Association in the course of time chose the falcon exercising system. The aim of this research was to fi nd, systemize and critically analyze data about the falconry in Smederevo, about the falcon association “Dusan Silni” (Dusan the Mighty), which as a successor continued the activities of the previous association – Smederevo Gymnastics and Combat Association. The basic assumption was founded on the expectation that data from the archive, periodical sources and ex falcon legacy would provide a satisfying base for reconstruction of Falcon Association history, i.e. appearance and development of the Falconry in Smederevo. During the research historic, causal and descriptive methods were used. Research results for the reference period, show that despite complex political, social, economic and cultural situation in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Falcon Association of Smederevo played a signifi cant role in spreading and development of the falcon movement and promotion of Yugoslav national thought. Large number of data showed that activities of this falcon organization were extremely versatile. Well organized training programs, numerous participation in falcon rallies and competitions, as well as health, educational, cultural and other forms of acting of the Association, had great infl uence on social and cultural transformation of the town of Smederevo as well as of the nearby villages and rural population, for which falcon foremen took most credit.
