THE WORK OF KIRIL PENUSHLISKI IN DEFENSE OF THE MACEDONIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY

Summary/Abstract: Professor Dr. Kiril Penushliski was and remains a leading name in Macedonian folklore studies. Without his work, our knowledge of Macedonian folklore would be much poorer because the greatest successes of this scientific discipline in our cultural context are connected precisely with his name. Both when it comes to publishing monographic works from Macedonian folklore and when it comes to republishing significant collections of Macedonian folk works, they are associated with his name. Professor Kiril Penushliski is one of the few complete folklorists, who in his work unites several creative procedures, from recording folk creations, through their study, to their publication. It is also significant that he is one of the rare folklorists who researched the entire Macedonian folk art, folk songs, stories, short genres, customs, etc. The text examines the significance of Kiril Penushliski’s work in defending the Macedonian national identity. Penushliski repeatedly pointed out that folklore is the most powerful proof of the Macedonian national identity. In that context, the Macedonian revolutionary folk songs whose motifs are the people’s struggle for freedom, as well as the people’s determination to create a state of the Macedonian people, are of the utmost importance.
