Special attention is paid to the post-folklor version of the epic “Manas” – the dastan “Aykol Manas” and the public discussion around that literary work. The discussion reflects, on the one hand, specific aspects of the understanding of the Kyrgyz epic tradition, and on the other hand, a number of characteristic features that accompany modern transformations of Kyrgyz shamanism.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115835075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, some subjects where the Others were represented were connected with the phenomena of transition and burial – war, preparations for war, hunt, etc. Also, some details of such images were connected with these phenomena. The semantics of the Greek vase painting was controversial and multilayered therefore interpretation of many of such images is disputable. Besides, the phenomena studied might be examined in a more narrow or more broad sense. Moreover, the connection of many characters represented with the other world, other gods and myths is much more complicated and outgoes far beyond the borders of the thematic connected with the Otherness.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130953919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sart-Kalmyks are among the least studied Mongolian peoples living in the settlements of Kyrgyzstan. The first examples of oral folk art of the Sart-Kalmyks can be found in the manuscripts written by the Russian Mongolian scholar A.V. Burdukovin 1929, as well as in the notes made by K.E. Erendzhenovin 1933 and published in the newspaper “Ulan khalmg” (“Red Kalmyk”) in 1935. The most important sources for the study of Sart-Kalmyk folklore are the collections of the Archive of Orientalists of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Scientific Archive of the Kalmyk Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KalmSC RAS), where besides fables, songs and proverbs the manuscripts of the texts of the epic “Dzhangar”, the historical legend “Zyungar Khan” (“Dzungar Khan”) are kept. The fund № 16 of the Scientific Archive of the Kalmyk Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences contains the inventory № 1 with expeditionary records of Sart-Kalmyk folklore on magnetic tapes collected by the researchers of the Folklore Department of the Kalmyk Research Institute of Language, Literature and History A.Sh. Kichikov (1979), B.B. Okonov (1979), T.B. Badmaeva (1979). In the last twenty years, Russian and foreign researchers have carried out a number of important scientific expeditions to the places of permanent residence of the Sart-Kalmyks in order to collect new field material. A deeper look into the history of collecting and publishing Sart-Kalmyk folklore allows to conclude that the texts and audio (video) records made by Russian scientists are valuable sources for the study of the folklore tradition of the Sart-Kalmyks of the 20–21 centuries.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114823948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the fourteenth century onwards, pocket or home sacred images were used in Germany for piety. They were called Andachtsbilder, literally – “prayer images”. Commonly, they were images of saints and could be engravings, miniatures, or even appliqués. Andachtsbilder’s motifs were usually associated with the images of the Holy Family or mystical allegories, but there was another type of Andachtsbilder, in particular, images representing a scene of some miracle. Their prototypes were often originally votive objects (wax, silver, etc.) or votive images (Votiftafel), i.e. images created as a vow to God or saints. Some of the votive objects appeared on the votive images (Votiftafel). Further, the most famous votive images could be copied onto Andachtsbilder. Votive images copied onto Andachtsbilder, according to my hypothesis, could have a magical function, like the wellknown Schluckbildchen. The paper presents a cross-section of the main Andachtsbilder typologies and provides examples of images that migrated from votive practices into the practice of domestic, “pocket” piety. The cultural and anthropological analysis of these phenomena follows","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128395597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Possibility of implementing dialectology in the field of folklore studies is connected to the concept of ethnocultural area – a set of features, characteristic for a tradition, that are common in a certain area and stable geography-wise. The article considers dialectal distribution in Polesie of the following four motives: 1) «a snake that no one has seen acquires mythological features»; 2) a dead man becomes “walking dead”, if an animal has jumped over the body; 3) to keep the dead man from “walking” someone tells him nonsense; 4) a man turns into a werewolf, if his parents violated any prohibitions. Mapping of these motifs on the territory of Polesie demonstrates that their distribution is noted exclusively in central Polesie and, partially, in western Polesie. The density of these motives in the Polesie region is small, while in the Carpathian region they are represented widely. The presented material demonstrates the links between these regions. The mapping method allows us to understand the formation of Polesie mythological system and to solve the problem of diachronic description of the East Slavic tradition.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125550745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It determines historical and cultural specificity of spiritualist attitude to Mars and its Russian background enrooted in the orthodox tradition. The paper overviews popular scientific concepts, which made probable the existence of a highly developed civilization on Mars; it indicates the authoritative spiritual works, which influenced the interest of Russian spiritualists to cosmological problems; it reveals spiritualistic interpretation of spirit messages about the existence of a highly developed civilization on Mars; it considers the cosmological Martian theme in the works of Russian spiritualist I.A. Karyshev. The author argues that the interest in Mars should be explained by the similar nature of epistemological problems encountered by both spiritualists and astronomers. Elusiveness of natural phenomena in positivistic age was the reason that secured Mars a certain place in popular scientific, artistic and spiritualist literature. Аlthough the fideistic view was common among spiritualists, the author claims, that some of them argued for the need to demythologize the spirit messages. I.A. Karyshev’s cosmological system is of interest to the historian of religion as an example of spiritualist construction of Russian planetary utopia and can rightfully take its place in the history of Russian utopian literature.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131531752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NKVD operatives considered that song to be “counterrevolutionary” and arrested people with the lyrics written down. Analyzing the results of folklore research during Stalin’s day, the author determines the importance of the found archival materials within both the context of political communication of the 1930s and the scientific discussion of the heroic topicality of the Soviet mythology. Comparing the text versions of the song with each other as well as with other versions published earlier, the author identifies both common elements and differences of situational and/or personal nature.
