Eesti Rahvaluule Arhiivi kaas- ja koostöödest 2025. aastal

Eesti Rahvaluule Arhiiv 2024
Risto Järv, Mari-Ann Remmel and Kadri Tamm write about the recipients of the Folklore Award of the President of the Republic of Estonia, presented on 11 April and provide an overview of the work of the archive in the previous year
Aastat Muinasjuttude Vahel
Risto Järv writes about the 15th fairy tale seminar “Among Fairy Tales” organised on 19 December 2024 by the fairy tale working group of the Estonian Folklore Archives and the University of Tartu Institute of Cultural Research, and the fairy tale project that has lasted for 25 years
Vägivaldne surm muinasjuttudes
Muinasjutud, nagu seda hästi teame, on lood, mis räägivad edust ja hästiminekust kõigi raskuste kiuste ning lõpevad õnnelikult – koos lootusrikka viipega kangelaste elamisele tänapäevani. Kuid muinasjuttudes leidub ka verd ja vägivalda, julmustki. Eredalt tuli see esile, kui alustasime Tartu Ülikooli ja Eesti Kirjandusmuuseumi töörühmaga eesti muinasjuttude akadeemilise väljaandeseeria koostamist. Juba esimese köite (EMj I:1) [...]
Layers of Folkloric Variation
Variation is a core feature of folklore that plays a part in configuring the processes of folkloric communication, transmission and creativity. Computational analysis of large folklore collections offers new outlooks on the study of variation. The article explores the nature of folkloric variation on the basis of folk song and fairy tale text corpora from the Estonian Folklore Archives. Our enquiry into regional variation in Estonian folk song sh…
Performing an Archive
Public archives are repositories of human memory and history, which collect, preserve, and provide access to the records and documents creating a bridge between the past, present, and future. Archives are dynamic structures that can be interpreted as knowledge hubs, with channels of information flowing in them, activities performed within the 'black box' of the institution invisible for outsiders, and channels to disseminate information for group…
Kunglat otsides
Kungla on sõna, mida teab vast iga eestlane ja eesti kultuuriga kokkupuutunu. Sõna kindlasti tuntuim kasutuskoht on 1869. aastal loodud laulurida „Kui Kungla rahvas kuldsel a’al”, mida ühiselt lauldes ilmselt ei mõelda, millisest rahvast seal täpselt juttu on. Üldrahvaliku laulu sõnade autor Friedrich Kuhlbars sai mõjutusi Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwaldi „Kalevipojast” ning ennemuistsetest juttudest, kus sõna [...]
Saateks. Oskar Loorits ja teadlase portree
Käesolev ajakirja Mäetagused erinumbri teemaosa koondab esimese Looritsa päeva kirjalikku tulemit, jätkates ja täiendades toonaseid ettekandeid. Päeva esinejaid kaastööle kutsudes valmis eriartikliteni ja jõudis käesolevasse kogumikku Looritsa päeva esinejatelt vaid väike osa käsitlusi. Eks seegi ole sümptomaatiline meie kiirel ajal. Samas lisandus teisi teemanumbrisse kirjutajaid. Mis plaanitust hetkel trükivalgusesse ei jõudnud, ilmub loodetava…
Tegelasvõrgustikud kahes raamatus Reinuvader Rebasest / Character networks in two books about Reynard the Fox
Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwaldi „Reinuvader Rebane“ (1850) oli loomaeeposežanri esimeseks tutvustuseks eesti keeles. Ernst Peterson-Särgava kogumik „Ennemuistsed jutud Reinuvader Rebasest“ (1911) on sarnaste rebasejuttude valimik lastele. Mõlemas teoses on ühisosa eesti folkloorsete loomamuinasjuttudega. Võrgustikuanalüüsi kasutades analüüsitakse kahe raamatu tegelaskonda. Mõlemas teoses tegelastena esitatud loomade kogum ja nendevaheliste suhete …
Muna on / ei ole targem kui kana
Elu ebamäärasuses aitavad suunda seada kindlad tõdemused. Üks selliseid esinduslikke elutarkuse liike on vanasõnad. Õigel hetkel tarvitatuna on need ütlused justkui veenev argument, millele pole paslik vastu vaieldagi. Oma vanasõnasaadetises Jakob Hurdale on Tartumaalt Kursi kihelkonnast pärit sulane Jaan Pruuli 1889. aastal kirja pannud hulga selliseid kindlaväitelisi konstruktsioone, nagu „Kes kannatab, see kaua elab. Kes [...]
The Goldfish and Little Red Riding Hood
There are two types of joke that can be described as fairy tale jokes: those with punchlines that include fairy tale characters, and fairy tale parodies. The paper discusses fairy tale jokes that were sent to the jokes page of the major Estonian internet Web Portal Delfi by Internet users between 2000 and 2011, and jokes added by the editors of the portal between 2011 and 2018 (CFTJ). The joke corpus has had different addresses at different times…
Estonian Fairy Tales up the Beanstalk into Heaven and Coal Porridge
The article * focuses on two Estonian fairy tale types that have been recorded among the Orthodox Seto minority in the south-eastern corner of Estonia. In the index of Estonian folktales they have been described under tales of magic (fairy tales) as tale types Ee 328C * and Ee 327H * . One of the tale types observed is a masculine folk tale (one with male protagonists), the other can be considered a feminine folk tale with female protagonists des…
Virumaa muinasjutud
One tenth of the fairy tales in the Estonian Folklore Archives have been collected in Virumaa. The article gives an overview of the fairy tale types most widely spread in Virumaa: wondertales ATU 300, 301, 313, 327A, 403C, 409, 480, 650B, and animal tales ATU 117, 169*, 243. Some tales of magic less known elsewhere in Estonia (ATU 312D, 326, 650B) are inherent in Virumaa. The article dwells upon fairy tales including anthroponyms, which are rathe…
Lõputa ja lõputu rahvajutt
1. Augustis 2005 olin tudengitega välitöödel Eesti servas, Setomaal, kogumas muinasjutte, et talletada vana jutupärimust, nii nagu seda selleks hetkeks teati ja mäletati. Meie eesmärgiks oli leida ja jäädvustada lugusid, iseäranis muinasjutupärimuse valdajailt. Eri alažanris muinasjuttudest tekitasid rahvaluulekogujais ikka elevust nn lõputa lood; neist kuulaja hanitamiseks mõeldud lugu „Valge härg” andis seto jutuvestjaid tutvustavale DVD-plaadi…
Our Clock Moves at a Different Pace
One of the effects and results of tourism is that it marks our sense of time, differentiating the extraordinary and 'heightened' time and the time of the mundane. An important role in this is played by the hosts - in the case of rural tourism by the farm owners and tour guides. The tourism farmers and tour guides act as mediators of the temporal experience, therefore creating and providing various timescapes for their guests. An altered perceptio…
Fairy Tales and Tourist Trips
Many parallels can be drawn between fairy tales and touristic trips. Both have been labelled flights from reality – escaping from the world one knows, setting out from the daily environment, proceeding to a place where everything is different from what one is used to, and perceived as unusual. Both storytelling that traditionally would take place in a liminal period of time and a journey from one's home resemble a state of being between two diffe…
The Gender of the Heroes, Storytellers and Collectors of Estonian Fairy Tales
The article concerns the gender of fairy-tale (ATU 300-749) tellers according to Estonian archival records (5550 units) and the different combinations of the genders of the recorders, the tellers and the main characters. The high and low tides of recording fairy-tales for the archive are analysed, as well as possible reasons for the tides. It appears there has been a change in the 1920s regarding fairy-tales -the earlier tales have been collected…

The Three Suitors of the King's Daughter
The first fairy tale type (AT 300) in the Aarne-Thompson type in-dex, the fight of a hero with the mythical dragon, has provided material for both the sacred as well as the profane kind of fabulated stories, for myth as well as fairy tale. The myth of dragon-slaying can be met in all mythologies in which the dragon appears as an independent being. By killing the dragon the hero frees the water it has swallowed, gets hold of a treasure it has guar…
Vana-aolidsõq jutuq kaasajal - kogumiskogemus Orava külas Siberis
The article focuses on the folktale tradition of Estonian emigrants collected during folkloric fieldwork in West-Siberia in 1998. The author analyses narrative situation and compares the collected tales with other variants of same story types found in the Estonian Folklore Archives. All the narrated fairy tales are the sc. Reward-and-Punishment Fairytales. Video samples of fairytales are available in the electronic version of the journal. The art…
Old stories in contemporary times - a collecting experience in the Orava village in Siberia
living for more than a century. The Czar had promised free land to the people and in the wake of that knowledge people settled in the faraway land. If up to the final decade of the 19th century the Estonian settlers of Siberia were mostly those banished from their homeland and their descendants – all in all 1.600–1.700 people, then a hundred years ago a voluntary emigration to the fertile fields of black soil was undertaken by many. It was advanc…
