Fol'klor: Struktura, Tipologiia, Semiotika

Aims & Scope

The mission of our journal is to assist the discussion of issues of contemporary theoretical folklore studies, in which Russian academia has traditionally been quite successful.

The journal is aimed at studying folklore as a base form of sociocultural communication, which is closely related to, on one hand, understanding the processes of ethnic identification, and, on the other hand, to the problems of cognitive sciences which dwell upon the mechanisms of acquiring, processing, preserving and transferring knowledge.

Papers published in the journal focus on studying oral traditions and ritual practices, archaic mythology and its contemporary modifications, interdisciplinary studies in these matters.

The journal accepts original submissions by authors from Russia and worldwide, short essays “from the desk”, papers in history of folklore studies (especially concerning the lesser known or unknown episodes of such), essays on world folklore, field and archive materials, reports of academical events, reviews and reports, bibliographies, developments in software and methodology for graduate programs in folklore studies.
