A comprehensive Approach to Publishing Folklore Monuments: From the Experience of Preparing A 25-Volume Academic Publication «tatar Folk Art»

This article is devoted to the experience of systematization and publication of folklore, implemented in the academic publication “Tatar Folk Art” in 25 volumes. The paper substantiates the need for an integrated approach based on the most syncretic nature of folklore and the state of modern folklore studies. Having analyzed the features of the classification of folklore texts containing mythological representations of the Tatars and data from the ritual tradition, the authors conclude that only with such a methodological approach folklore can be revealed in all its diversity as a single ideological complex.
