7th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE SOCIÉTÉ INTERNATIONALE D’ETHNOLOGIE ET DE FOLKLORE (SIEF)

Summary/Abstract: The International Society of European Ethnologists and Folklorists was established in Athens in 1964 as the successor organisation of CIAP (Commission Internationale des Arts et Tradition Populaires), founded in Prague in 1928. Its aim is to serve European ethnology, the European cultural heritage, to seek and protect common values, a continental perspective extending beyond national and language frames. The comparative study of folklore, folk art and folk traditions reveals the common cultural heritage of the European peoples and its regional or national features, and rejects isolation and the phenomena of ethnocentrism.
