Abstract:

Slavic myths increasingly survive in people’s consciousness as supernatural elements or as literary characters rather than as real beliefs in their existence. Adult readers in Poland and Slovakia, for example, encounter Slavic supernatural beings in the fantasy literature book series such as Wiedźmin by Andrzej Sapkowski and Černokňažník by Juraj Červenák; however, literature cannot be expected to portray superstitions and demons in the same way as belief legends. Placing Sapkowski’s and Červenák’s works within the context of ethnographically recorded beliefs illuminates various aspects of int

Abstract:

The paper traces the reception of apocryphal codes and penitential motifs in Ivan Nechui-Levytskyi’s novel “Kaidash Family.” The research introduces a hypothesis that “The Tale of the Twelve Fridays,” as well as “Blessed Virgin Mary’s Dream” and “Sunday Epistle,” serve as pivotal pretexts for the novel as a whole and as a key to understanding Granny Palazhka’s religious superstitions and the motivation of Omelko Kaidash’s Friday fasts. Two editions of the novel “Kaidash Family” were compared: the 1879 publication in the journal “Pravda” and the 1887 edition, which appeared as part of the book

Abstract:

Abstract The term ecotype was first introduced to the field of folkloristics by Carl Wilhelm von Sydow (1878–1952), who proposed the idea that folktales develop from base forms due to transformations triggered by specific environmental conditions before eventually stabilising within cultural districts. The general analogy was popular amongst folklorists who readily invoked the concept to deconstruct a wide range of genres including rhyming couplets, folk ballads, folktales, fairy-tales, personal narratives, legends and urban legends. It is unfortunate, however, that ecotypes have largely been

Abstract:

Mythology has become an intrinsic part of literature for the symbolic, structural and functional values it imparts to a text. Although the use of myths and legends in literature has been transformed contextually over the different literary periods, modern writers extensively reappropriated and used them to portray the complexity of the theme and narrative structure of a text. They illustrated the contemporary fragmented reality and individual experience through myths. By incorporating myths in a text, modern writers sometimes created fictionalized and artificial myths of their own. American po
