Culegerea datelor culturii populare în Bucovina (până la 1918) prin metoda chestionarului
Collection of Folk Culture Data in Bukovina (until 1918) by the Questionnaire Method

Summary/Abstract: In this article we present some initiatives, belonging to both institutions and some personalities in the field, which led to the foundation, in Bukovina, of an “exceptional tradition” of collecting and publishing folklore (which began in the middle of the 19th century) and subsequently, its cultivation. Thus, we will refer to the moment when the first questionnaires were distributed in Bukovina, the context in which they circulated, the impact that these methodological tools had on the circle of Bukovinian intellectuals, targeted as possible collaborators/respondents, the motivations of those who answered them, the final results of the use of this method in the ethnofolkloric space of Bukovina and their contribution to the development of Romanian folklore, at a certain moment of its evolution. I. G. Sbiera, S. Fl. Marian, Dimitrie Dan, Constantin Morariu, Matthias Friedwagner, Alexandru Voevidca are some of the people to whom the folklore in Bukovina owes its existance and its achievement level, which is quite remarcable.
