Фолклористика и литературознание
Folkloristics and Literary Science

Summary/Abstract: An attempt is made in this article to show certain trends of development in Bulgarian ethnology. The author notes that the outstanding representatives of folkloristics in Bulgaria at the time of its initial advance worked in several scientific spheres. This individual context of research was connected with the development and establishment of several circles of problems which, until most recently, determined the essentials of the Bulgarian national ethnological school – folk psychology, ethnography and research in art history, in which folklore was one of the main questions as a component in oral, musical and plastic art. It was along this road that musical folklore, studies on the so-called plastic folklore and researches on oral art of the folklore type were established. The all-round interaction between folkloristics and literary science lies in the study of the two fundamental kinds of verbal art – folklore and literature – their unity and their structural differences. An attempt is made in this light to look at the scientific heritage of Academician Peter Dinekov.
