Catalogue of demonological legends, genre and structural narratology

Literary theory notes on an ethnographic work

Summary/Abstract: This text is based on a catalogue of demonological legends, i.e. a work of folklore, incorporating an implied folkloric conception of literary work and method that is applied to examine folkloric literature. This method is compared with the literary studies method and indicates how on the basis of the various methods, both literary studies and folkloric, the very concept of literature and associated key categories are transformed, i.e. the author, text, genre system and so forth. The text also provides information on catalogues of folk literature in general and on this particular catalogue of demonic legends.
