The formation of intangible cultural heritage has been profoundly influenced by the lifestyle of ancient people, their worldview, mythological beliefs, customs and rituals, as well as their traditions of artistically interpreting reality. Identifying the significance of these factors has created the need to further deepen theoretical perspectives on the genesis and typology of folklore genres. This book, which is the outcome of such theoretical research, is intended for folklorists as well as for a broad readership.
