One approach (that of E.A. Kostyukhin) denies that such plot type belongs to the fairy-tale genre and relates it to the folk novella. Another one (that of G.I. Kabakova) focuses on the etiologic finale, perceiving it as an alternative to compensating the fairy tale shortcoming. The author applied the structuralist method in the analysing of fairy tales about wife of a water snake. As a result, a typology of the plot type 425M was created. He managed to identify its invariant scheme, as well as describe all digressions from it (variations and variants). Characteristic of the 425M plot invariant is the complicated initial part, in which the author suggests to single out a block of zero, or imaginary, shortcoming, and a block of true, actual shortcoming. The structural-semiotic plot scheme correlates with the motivational scheme proposed by G. Kabakova, but enhances it with an emphasis in inversion of the basic semantic opposition of its own, human and alien, non-human, which makes it possible to explain why the final transformation becomes the compensation for the shortcoming. The final transformation of the heroine (and / or her children) into birds and reptiles is considered to be an example of mythological mediation. The heroine eliminates the shortcoming with an action asymmetrically opposite to the action of the antagonist action, namely, with the transformation, due to which a new opposition “cuckoo – water snake” is formed, which removes the former – “insider – outsider”. The daughter triumphs over her mother without causing the latter direct harm, and is reunited with her husband.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"36 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":"129470538","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}

Although less popular than other types of narratives about that hero, the corresponding texts have been still regularly recorded from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. It appears that by now enough material has been accumulated for an analytical study of such a layer in oral tradition. The main plot of those legends seems to be loosely based on the events of 1671–1672, during when the Khoshut taishi Ablai (Ovla tәәsh) invaded the Kalmyk nomad territories, but was defeated by Ayuka Khan. While there is no evidence that the historical Mazan participated in those events, the folklore accounts often make him one of the central figures in the conflict, usually as the leader of Kalmyk forces who defeats the forces of Ablai, and in a single combat champions over Taishi himself and captures him. This particular discrepancy, as well as the number of other features, is generally viewed as a result of the influence of the oral epic poetry on the legendary narratives. Another interesting feature of the plots is a relatively high degree of historical accuracy, as far as the historical accuracy in folklore studies goes. The most part of the characters in these legends can be correlated with the various figures of Kalmyk history, also a number of the events described in them are confirmed by different written sources, and the tactical techniques used by Mazan-batyr have direct analogues in the traditional warfare of the Mongol people.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"60 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":"128719498","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 paper introduces the concept of an intradiegetic image – an image (a painting, a statue, a photo, etc.) that becomes one of the “characters” of the narrative plot in a literary or cinematic work. An intradiegetic image enters a state of forceful tension with its fictional surroundings: adapting to its environment, it deforms both the latter and itself. Such image damages the realistic illusion with its foreignness, highlights the contrast between two types of semiosis (iconic and symbolic), unfolds in narrative timing (while being initially fixed) and doubles the perceptive situation, turning the characters of the story into inside spectators. Its foreignness to the narration is indicated both by frame effects and the characters’ sacralizing actions and opinions about it. Multiplying (serialization) of intradiegetic images, increase in the number of their dimensions (flat images become tridimensional, tridimensional images start moving and changing with time) and a strong connection to human body are characteristic of intradiegetic images’ functioning in texts / films.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"20 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":"127776548","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}

In comparison with the materials from other Courts of Equity of the first half of the 19th century the one involving Dulepov provides a window onto how the court dealt with cases of using magical, primarily healer’s, practices. Comparative analysis shows that the adjudication in cases of witchcraft was related to the process of translation of peasant’s magical practices into the legal language by a judge and their correlation with the term “witchcraft” in the texts of the documents. The judicial term “witchcraft” included the use of spells that presuppose the accused’s belief in their efficacy and any harmful magical practices, but it excluded practices of healing with prayers and without using any texts (herbal medicine) and magic “for a joke”. The appearance in the course of the investigation of a case-specific bundle of meanings (for example, “witchcraft” and “sin”, “witchcraft” and “swindle”) concretised the nature of punishment (penance, corporal punishment or others). The article shows that the variability of this system of meanings is associated with the vagueness of the laws of the 18th – first half of the 19th centuries and the fluidity of the concept of “witchcraft” in traditional culture. The variability of court sentences in similar cases is also associated with the dialogic nature of testimony. Dialogical structure of the evidences is analyzed on the example of two interrogation points in the testimony of Ivan Dulepov (about the invocation of evil spirits and the belief in the “healing power” of spells) and it is shown how different ways of reading similar concepts by the accused and the judge affect the understanding of magical practices by different parts of the investigation.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"30 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":"129203213","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}

In the modern researches (works of E.L. Madlevskaya, S.M. Tolstaya, A.V.

In our work, we tried to show that a girl’s hair/braid has a number of eigenvalues. The braid can be interpreted as a symbol of girlish freedom, and this freedom can be of different: it is freedom of choice, freedom of participation in ritual and behavioral practices, relative freedom of appearance. The braid also can have mythological meaning: it can be thought of as a means of testing the groom. Also, the braid is an integral part of the appearance of the bride, which is constantly transforming depending on the stage of the ceremony. In the lamentations related to different stages of the wedding, we note a different configuration of hair: when a girl leaves her family her hair is uncombed and loose. When the groom and his family come the bride appears in all the best. In this way, through a change in hairstyle, changes in the social status of the girl can be reflected.","PeriodicalId":367091,"journal":{"name":"Folklore: structure, typology, semiotics","volume":"8 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":"127303438","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}
