Телесната „задница” – техники и екскременти в българските народни пословици и поговорки
The bodily “posterior” – techniques and excrements in the Bulgarian folk sayings and proverbs

Summary/Abstract: The text examines the “bodily expression” in the Bulgarian folk sayings and proverbs as codified symbolic texts and a key towards different semantic fields in Bulgarian folk culture. On the one hand, the specifics of the sayings and proverbs as lingual clichés, as well as their cyclic situation use are presenting us with the opportunity to examine them as being closest to the ritual texts, and thus as bearers of a codified knowledge. On the other hand, the “bodily expression” that they contain, studied in a number of scholarly works, is another sign for an archetype thinking, which leads to mental models for the identification of the human with the Universe, and thus towards the archetype models of texts concerning the Creation.
