  Slavic And East European Folkloristics at the Canadian Museum of Civilization: An Overview Robert B.Klymasz, Canadian Museum of Civilization In keeping with the growing recognition of Canada's multicultural profile and its concomitant discovery of terrae incognitae, the Canadian Museum of Civilization (nee National Museum of Canada, and later National Museum of Man), Canada's national museum of anthropology, began the earnest collection, documentation and study of Slavic and East European folklore materials in the early I%O's thanks in most part to the pioneering work of Kenneth Peacock. Among the pearls was the latter-day discovery of an unpublished collection of Russian incantations recorded (on paper) among Canada's newly arrived Doukhobor immigrants a century ago by one of V.I. Lenin's more illustrious cronies, V.D. Bonch-Bruevich.

  What makes them Old Believers, of course, is their faithfulness to Russian Orthodox Church life as it existed prior to liturgical reforms introduced in the seventeenth century. Under intermittent persecution from the Russian government and the official, reformed church, many Old Believers fled to isolated regions of Russia or left Russia altogether.

summary:
  What might have disturbed a Soviet censor in 1971 about Bogatyrev's scholarly observations in this study ofSubcarpathian Rusyn folklore of the 1920s1 The problem passages, as it tmns out, did not concern Subcarpathian Rusyn folklore per se at all. The passages which the censor found dangerous or offensive were, in fact, largely those in which Bogatyrev went beyond Rusyn folklore to reach for some kind of analogy to an item under discussion which he knew and found useful from the Russian context.

Professor Haney points out that Russian folktales make no mention of grand princes or dukes, the rulers of the Kievan and Muscovite eras, while the first tsar, Ivan IV, appeared in the sixteenth century.

The question arises as to whether the group of features that comprise the Semeiskii ritual cure for evil eye is of local relevance only, or whether it is more broadly typical of all Russian incantations.

  WHAT MAKES RUSSIAN FAIRY TALES POPULAR General Education Requirements While students select their major subjects according to their professional aspirations and, if we are fortunate, their intellectual interests, in many universities, including ours, their choice of other courses is often controlled by the need to satisfy a large and complicated set of general education requirements. Furthermore, because undergraduate general education has a high priority at the University of SEEFA Journal 2001, Vol. VI No. 2 56 Pittsburgh, our Dean has provided additional teaching assistantships and instructors to cover increased enrollment in Russian Fairy Tales and other general education courses.

  It is not that one can point to much in particular and say it is incorrect (what can be wrong in folklore or mythology, except other scholars?), but it must also be said that the book is full of sweeping comparisons and unsupported assertions, selective use of unattributed etymologies (Vasmer is listed in the bibliography but not in the text or notes, like several other items), use of bogus, frivolous, or incompetent sources (the Velesova kniga is quoted several times without even a health warning, as is the worthless ABC-CLIO Encyclopedia of Russian Slavic Myth and Legend), uncritical use of other sources (the Prince Igor’ story is discussed at some length as a twelfth-century epic with no mention that there are, at the very least, some questions about its textual integrity), failure to mention a whole range of relevant work (for example, no reference in the text to B. A. Uspenskii on the association of Veles and Perun with St Nicholas, although his book is mentioned in the bibliography, nor, at the level of bibliography of the subject, the standard serial bibliography Russkii fol’klor, or Kulikovskii’s Bibliography of Slavonic Mythology). It takes us through the (few) references to Perun in the earliest Slav and other medieval texts, and an excursus on the etymology of the name (with none of the etymologies dated or sourced); through supposed analogs in other cultures (p. 13 “Perun in his various aspects is encountered among other Aryan religions”); through various aspects of Russian culture and belief, even “The Lame Leg: A Short Digression” (with no reference to Carlo Ginzburg).

Novikov remarks that the assimilation of printed texts increased during the Soviet period and deserves study as a separate topic, but he insists that such texts should be excluded from the projected compendium of Russian epics mentioned earlier in this review.

The interpretation of �Potyk� is based on the assumption that Kievan Rus originated in the second through the fourth centuries of our era , and that marriage in this epic reflects a conflict between the Slavs and the Iranian speaking Scythian peoples in the steppes during this early period (pp. 34-35).

summary:
  Last but not least, the study of Orthodox Karelian folk religion can contribute a great deal to discussion about the scholarly notion of “folk” or “popular” religion as applied to daily practices of rural communities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She lays special emphasis on the notion of a ‘promise’, or vow, which “formalizes” the “reciprocal relations between humans and sacred agents” in Orthodox Karelian folk religion, though in fact, it has to be remarked that this notion is common in the popular religion of most European agrarian societies, whether Orthodox or Catholic.

Most interesting are Levin's perspectives on Pokrovksy as he functioned within various factions of Russian society which exploited folk music for mostly nationalistic purposes.

  This question has special importance when oral and written eschatological legends are compared insofar as both abound in “common places” which mark violations of the boundaries of social and anti-social, and which involve typical descriptions of natural anomalies. Another important feature in the performance of present day eschatological narratives is the discussion of signs about the end of the world as coming true or having come true.

Shmidt (1997) formulated the reasons for the devastation of Soviet local studies precisely: The fact of the matter is that local studies societies and in general the work of specialists in local studies were an expression of democratic initiatives which sometimes date back to pre-revolutionary traditions and even to the ‘zemstvo’ (an elective district council from 1864 to 1917. According to the formulation of S. O. Shmidt (1989), “what we now call the year 1937 (that is, the worst year of Stalin’s purges – trans.) came for local studies in 1929 and 1930” (p. 16).

  Contemplating Music and the Boundaries of Identity: Attitudes and Opinions Regarding the Effect of Ottoman Turkish Contact on Bulgarian and Macedonian Folk Musics

summary:
  Nevertheless, between 1952 and 1966, the eminent Bulgarian scholar Nikolai Kaufman managed to take time from his engagement with the collection and study of Bulgarian village song to research and write a book about Bulgarian urban song. Even if such editorial bowdlerizing was practiced, however, it apparently was not enough to “redeem” urban song in Kaufman’s eyes: as expressed in his book, Kaufman’s opinion is that Bulgarian urban song is on the whole poorer than Bulgarian village song, exhibiting as it does less musical and textual diversity, less amenability to flexible treatment, and ultimately less polish as a result of not undergoing continual communal re-creation.

Such holy persons, aspiring for saintly status in their lifetime who have not been canonized by the official Church, are usually designated in the scholarly tradition as �folk,� �near-,� �would-be,� �living� [see, e.g., Macklin and Margolies 1988], or in general not-quite-saints, to differentiate them from their canonized, �otherworldly� colleagues.

  Indeed, this mass appeal of miracles is not only rooted in Russia�s traditions but has been described to me as �Orthodox magic� (pravoslavnyi magizm), denoting the way in which contemporary Orthodoxy is approached and �consumed� by the majority of Russians today.(8) The church at the monastery, housing the image of the �Never-Draining Cup,� is busy all year round, especially on Sundays, and almost inaccessible thanks to the many hundreds, if not thousands, of pilgrims on 18th May, the icon�s feast-day. This also underlines the post-Soviet equation of �being Orthodox� with �being Russian,� in which drink is a historic feature of national character and reason for choosing Orthodoxy over Islam on the grounds of the latter�s prohibition against drinking: �liking a drink is part of being Russian, which in turn is part of being Orthodox.

  Beyond the bounds of the book, however, the designation of their world view as religious is somewhat limiting as a tool for discussion; for example, peasant views of what constitutes a sin include offences against hygiene or social convention that have nothing to do with religion. Professor Heretz takes this trend further by arguing convincingly that the traditional peasant world view continued to survive in a world of change, and hence any assessment of peasant reactions to various crises in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia must bear this in mind.

  As we seek to understand the nature of Russian popular religion, highly creative, comparative studies like Strakhov’s are an essential part of the process. He convincingly demonstrates, by citing beliefs and ceremonies in Orthodox as well as Catholic countries, that Russian practice is neither unique nor pagan in origin, but, like popular Christian religion practiced throughout Europe, was the product of a folk interpretation of Christian belief that is best understood within the context of a shared Christian heritage developed in socially similar conditions, rather than a common Indo-European past.

Although traditional verbal charms and incantation rituals have received extensive attention in Slavic ethnolinguistics and folklore studies, the need still exists for a more in-depth poetic and contextual (re)analysis of ritual texts, especially of the interrelation between their stylistic, compositional, referential and functional properties.

  This 60-volume series (31 have been released, 3 are in press) represents one of the finest collections of folk material (including poetic genres, prose genres and ritual) in the much neglected region of Asian portion of Russia. This edition features articles drawing on a range of folk traditions from material culture (Franklin Sciacca’s analysis of Ukrainian embroidery from the 19th century to the present and its connection to identity in many social, temporal, regional and national contexts) to vernacular religion (Tatiana Filosofova’s study of conceptions of the apocalypse as reflected among Old Believers in Latvia), from personal narrative (Adrienne Harris’ examination of the folk elements within the oral histories of women fighter pilots in World War II) to neo-folk ritual (Ana Stefanova’s fascinating treatment of the invented tradition of nestinarstvo in one Bulgarian village).

  Pilgrimage, Mourning, and Tradition: Commemorative Rituals and Material Responses to the Death of John Paul II in Poland

summary:
  Although a part of religious culture for millennia, this pilgrimage differed in that it truly was a national one, where millions of Poles descended upon the Holy See not only to pay respects to their greatest hero and someone who was already widely being considered a saint, but also to express a united sense of identity, the strength of which was noted only a few times before in history, the last being in October 1978, when John Paul was elected to the Papal Throne. The death of John Paul led to the organization of collective movements millions strong, breaching social divides that until that point, and since it, have continued to linger.

  Rouhier-Willoughby, Jeanmarie. Village Values: Negotiating Identity, Gender, and Resistance in Contemporary Russian Life-Cycle Rituals.

summary:
  Rouhier-Willoughby acknowledges complications to this dichotomy primarily in her discussion of post- Soviet practices, where nostalgia for the stability and (relative) equality of Soviet life has caused many respondents to reflect more favorably, or at least with less one-sidedness, on their Soviet experiences and what they meant. Thus afforded a kind of continuum of popular beliefs and practices (never stable and always subject to renegotiation and adaptation) stretching from 19th century village traditions, through the Soviet experience, and up to and including contemporary post-Soviet life, the author traces continuities, ruptures, revivals, and restorations in birthing, wedding, and mourning rites.

  Olson, Laura and Svetlana Adonyeva. The Worlds of Russian Village Women: Tradition, Transgression, Compromise

summary:
  In their interpretations of how women “perform folklore” during life-cycle and calendar rituals for example, Olson and Adonyeva reflect on the “nature of subjectivity and history, agency and tradition” as they seek to further illuminate the continually shifting relationships Russian rural women have with tradition (23). Russian village women created their own life scripts against the backdrop of tradition; as Olson and Adonyeva conclude, those scripts did not exactly follow the script defined by the cultural imperative but tradition was “capacious enough, generous enough, and flexible enough to accommodate variations, creativity, individual agency, compromise, and even transgressions” (314).

  However, given the paucity of direct evidence for either of these in Russian tradition, Propp makes wide use of evidence from other traditions. In this compact study of Propp (1895-1970), arguably the most influential Russian folklorist of the twentieth century, Warner demonstrates the influences on his thinking, both in the formative years as a student and young lecturer, of the great Russian philologists of pre-Revolutionary Russia, and of his colleagues in the early years of the Soviet state.

summary:
  Our work reveals how folk tradition overcomes cultural barriers between peoples of different cultures by adopting material from “opposing” societies and making it their own. Two other pieces examine the interrelationship of differing traditions as well, this time with an emphasis on Turkic material.

summary:
  Beyond the bounds of the book, however, the designation of their world view as religious is somewhat limiting as a tool for discussion; for example, peasant views of what constitutes a sin include offences against hygiene or social convention that have nothing to do with religion. Professor Heretz takes this trend further by arguing convincingly that the traditional peasant world view continued to survive in a world of change, and hence any assessment of peasant reactions to various crises in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia must bear this in mind.

  Altogether, the number of tales selected provides a surprising breadth of motifs and the amount of content continuity ensures that the average reader, upon completion, should be familiar with the regular cast of characters and able to solve any riddle a Russian storyteller could pose. The distribution is also well judged, with the weight placed upon the Tales of Heroes and Villains and Tales of Love and Life chapters (18 and 28 tales respectively), while the Animal Tales, Tales of Magic, Legends, Tales of Clever Fools and Anecdotes chapters receive slightly less attention (approximately 13 tales in each); the Serial Tales only number three due to their length.

  In fact, in many cases informants were handicapped by modesty and would not reveal much more obscene versions they knew, and in other cases collectors would not write down such versions [on the bowdlerization and expurgation of sexual folklore, see Goldstein 1967: 374-386]. In this report I shall study one widely circulating European ballad tradition concerning wifely infidelity, to illustrate that although details among versions are temporally and culturally variable, they all belong to one narrative deep structure having to do with “cunningly lingual” wives and cuckolded husbands.

  This criticism is most often and most importantly raised to oral history projects that claim to make generalizations about broader cultural processes, rather than those that focus on qualitative descriptions of their particular case studies. Other questions about our type of project may refer to the accuracy of the interviewee’s memory, considering the filtering influences of memory, the desire to please the interviewer, and other factors.

  As a result, during the 1950s, women pilots, and women veterans in general, found themselves on the periphery of collective memory. Women pilots’ memoirs indicate that as a whole they were and had always been aware of their marked otherness in relation to male pilots and that they wanted to be remembered by future generations precisely as women who confronted and challenged boundaries to become skilled aviators and defenders of their nation in its most dire hour.

summary:
  According to the authors, this plot is popular in Ukrainian ballads, but is also prominent in prose, beliefs and superstition.

Based on periodic field research conducted in multiple regions of interior Dalmatia between 2003 and 2009, Šešo’s research is a much-needed return to the question of the role of supernatural beings in society.

Although secular commissions helped to investigate both miraculous healings and epidemics of possession, the Church could not accept their materialistic view of the impossibility of such phenomena and emphasized the devil’s dangerous role in a secular society.

From Wiesel and Singer’s veiled parables of the Shoah (both simply titled The Golem) to Chabon’s smugglers secreting Rabbi Loew’s golem out of pre-Holocaust Europe in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Baer shows how these authors’ golem works challenge Theodor Adorno’s assertion that poetry in the wake of Auschwitz is barbaric.

  Furthermore, studying “normal” or natural death and funerary practices related to it without considering abnormal, “bad” (i.e., tragic and unexpected), death and beliefs surrounding such death would be superficial.

  [folk] can live without the society of progressives and somehow satisfy all their human needs: by labor, revelry, love, thought, and creation of artistic productions (Iliads, Russian folk songs)” In a profound sense, Khochbar performs his death, with which he punishes the tyrannical khan and demonstrates the subversive power of oral folk song.

Such criticism notwithstanding, the trilogy presents a pioneering investigation—even though, at times, only preliminary—in the area of demons, spirits, witchcraft phenomena and mythologies, and will be of interest to folklorists, historians, scholars of religion or literature, working in the field of the European learned demonology, popular lore, or literary tradition encompassing some of its elements (e.g., the Gothic or Romantic literary movement).

  These field notes present the initial stages of a research project into personal practices of commemoration that proliferate at Slovenian cemeteries as well as monuments. Largely rectilinear, Slovenian cemeteries recall the more formal layouts found in French examples, rather than the naturalistic style of Anglo-American or Protestant northern European places of burial.

The standard Ossetian and Russian editions were both produced in the USSR during the mid-twentieth century but did not entirely eliminate variants, which are still known and transmitted within Ossetian popular culture.

She credits two institutions for playing a role in maintaining the identity and folk culture of the “Górale” in America; The Polish Highlanders Alliance of North America (Związek Podhalan w Północnej Ameryce) based in Chicago, and the Tatrzański Orzeł/The Tatra Eagle; the latter is described by the author as a primary shaper of the highlander’s essential ideology (171).

summary:
  A book detailing magical practices in the villages of the Russian North obviously benefits anthropologists, ethnographers, and folklorists. Rather than grouping magical practices by the malaise or issue they address, each volume of the book is divided by smaller geographical region (for example: the Kirillov region around the Sheksna River), with entries put in order from earlier expeditions (working with handwritten notebooks) to more recent ones who made more detailed audio recordings.

  In Chapter Four, “Ukrainian Wedding on the Prairies,” Reviews 74 FOLKLORICA 2024, Vol. XXVIII Kononenko also describes modifications and adaptations of traditional Ukrainian rituals, like introducing the wedding fruitcake or even a fake cake made out of Styrofoam (104) alongside the korovai—a traditional Ukrainian wedding bread— or a bride’s white wedding dress instead of Ukrainian traditional clothes that were “much maligned by Anglo-Canadians, who saw it as another marker of the uncivilized, even brutish, nature of Ukrainian immigrants” (118). She delineates three types of Ukrainian nationalist ideologies: 1) “the nationalism of Ukrainians living in the country itself who are seeking to define and promote Ukrainian identity,” 2) “the nationalism of Ukrainians living abroad, who sought to safeguard what they viewed as a pure Ukrainian culture for export back into Ukraine once the country was free,” and 3) nationalism that is “focused on Canada rather than Ukraine and one that looks to life in the present rather than trying to preserve or resurrect the culture of the past… nationalism without dogma”—that is, vernacular nationalism (10-11).

  In the hands of a skillful narrator, such as the notorious “COVID dissident” and excommunicated Russian monk Sergii (Nikolai Vasil’evich Romanov, b. 1955), a myth is not simply a static “pragmatic charter of primitive faith and moral wisdom,” as Bronislaw Malinowski argued Over two decades, Father Sergii (Romanov), a convicted murderer who turned to religion while in prison, has used myth to shape his public persona, legitimize his spiritual leadership, cultivate the loyalty of his followers, and articulate a vision of holy Russia that seeks to reconcile the Soviet and imperial pasts.

  For those of us who organize our syllabi around genre groups, we might revisit and reframe our courses around, instead, the crucial questions for the study of everyday life that our field addresses or problems/situations that specific genres address well. First, we risk losing the memory of the centrality of genre study in producing the performance shift, in which conversations about genre were a key component of grappling with power, hierarchy, Eurocentrism, and Western perspectives in the development of contextualized folklore.

  Kašpárek performances were often directly engaged in the promotion of the Czech language, both through modernizing and disseminating traditional Czech legends and historical plays—made new and more entertaining with Kašpárek’s hijinks—and, more often, by mocking German and German speakers with multilingual puns and other demonstrations of the puppet’s masterful bilingualism. [Koval 1928: 48] From these first words, we can see the kind of armory Skupa and Kašpárek assemble, the weapons they will use to perform Czech authority and to contrast the formal religious modes of authority used earlier in the performance.

summary:
  �e book concludes with an epilogue that begins as a personal reflection by the author on the role that epic songs have played in her own life, but continues into some very thoughtful consideration about the purpose of epic singing and the psycho-social role that it plays in society. �e work ostensibly focuses on epic songs (dumy), but genre boundaries (which are never so clear to begin with) are forsaken here to a higher cause.

  While not all artists are familiar with the term and do not identify their work in this way, from an outsider art critic perspective, Belarusian protest embroideries appear to fit the large global art movement, Craftivism. My research has revealed three distinct, albeit overlapping categories or storylines: 1) individual craftivist strategies of Belarusian protest embroideries; 2) collective craftivist embroidery practices; and 3) representations of traditional textile patterns in other media.

  Sometimes respondents even said that they had learned new protest songs at the events themselves: “В прошлый раз, когда я была, включали люди музыку из машин, и я познакомилась с прекрасной песней группы Порнофильмы, которая называется «Это пройдет», вот, узнала о новом треке с протестной акции” It was thus largely due to technology (music on phones or the internet, for example) that new protest songs appeared at rallies.

  The second part looks at the role of minorities in the construction of socialist national policies.
