Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to draw a parallel between different folkloric traditions in Chitid, Hunedoara County and Jina, Sibiu County. I am interested in discussing how these ancient traditions can be preserved in the modern world which is entirely submitted to the globalization phenomenon. I am also interested in discussing about these historical and geographical areas in the context of multilingual and religious diversity. In order to offer a consistent view of this parallel, I will use the technique of diverse monographic books, focusing on how to express the idea of the patriarchal universe avatar in contemporaneity. The creative use of language will be regarded as a means to make visible the new paradigm in which Romanian folklore can be understood and loved in contemporaneity.
