Abstract:

Folklore is a key source for understanding the fundamentals of legal relations in the traditional Ukrainian society. The proposed article focuses on customary law as an archaic form of legal relations that developed as a creative product with characteristic features of a folklore text, namely variability, anonymity, syncretism, where ritual becomes a tool for manifesting and implementing the custom, making it public. In this context, folk poetic creativity emerges as the oldest source of the Ukrainian legal culture. The research highlights that folklore texts contain significant elements that

Abstract:

This paper attempts to study how folk beliefs are reflected in the rituals of the Boroks of Tripura. Boroks are one of the prominent tribal communities living in different parts of Tripura.

Oral verses, folk dances, and ballads are key elements of each ritual while an anochai performs it, sacrificing different objects. The Boroks believe that ritual performances are the only way to propitiate benign deities and keep evil forces at bay. These rituals play an important role in constitut

Abstract:

Since achieving political independence in the 1960s, Anglophone Caribbean nations have faced the urgent task of exploring cultural independence. In the socio-cultural sphere, Black nationalism dominated, with Pan-Africanism and Rastafarianism exerting significant influence. In literary creation, writers and intellectuals sought to unearth local popular religions and folk traditions to produce literature that was distinctively Caribbean. In this quest, rituals—especially those involving religious possession—emerged as pivotal tools for writers to explore historical traditions and reflect on ide

Although ethnographic studies of marriage in 20th century Hungary have reckoned with the impact of socio-cultural transformations on getting married, nonetheless they primarily emphasized the normative aspects and permanence of the ritual; they stressed that marriage preserved “traditions”, or even that folk tradition acting as an ethno-folk-national “matrix” preserved and maintained the wedding rituals. Even if they touched upon the transformation of rituals, they primarily highlighted the modernization, simplification, fragmentation of the act of getting married and the marginalization of or

The article examines the terminological vocabulary of one of the stages of funeral and memorial rites, fixed at the border zone of the Slavic and non-Slavic traditions of Eastern Serbia. Rites and customs of the Vlachs (obsolete Rus. Valahi, i.e. Wallachians, Serb. Vlasi), who moved to these territories mainly in the XIX century and currently live in villages that are interspersed with Serbian ones, influenced the Serbian folk tradition. The funeral and memorial rites of the Slavs represent the most conservative area of folk rituals and motivating beliefs and prescriptions, less susceptible to

Introduction. Calendar rituals represent a key element of the ethnic traditions of any people. Despite the extensive scholarly exploration of traditional Mordovian rituals, their manifestations within diaspora communities – particularly among the Moksha residing in the territory of Bashkiria – remain insufficiently studied. Through prolonged interaction with Turkic peoples, the Moksha have preserved many ethno-differentiating features of their culture. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of the calendar festive and ritual culture of the Mordvin-Moksha population in Bashkiria.
