Myths, Maps and Vernacular Perception
Environmental Health Crises (EHC), often manifesting as interconnected polycrises (e.g. combining environmental, medical or military aspects), have surged in frequency, intensity and geographic spread in recent decades. Public understanding of such crises plays a crucial role in taking proper action to mitigate their consequences. Thus, finding innovative communication models that would address and mediate the complex nature of EHC is of utmost i…

The Laughter in and around Treasure Tales
Traditional treasure tales can be interpreted as stories of success and failure. Based on the texts in the Estonian Folklore Archives, the current article focuses on the role of laughter within treasure tales and in their audiences. When someone in a legend makes a mistake, misses an opportunity, or gets embarrassed when searching for treasure, the audience may respond with laughter. The laughter heard during storytelling is an ambiguous sign, as…
Be Like Bill
The meme Be like Bill first appeared in October 2015 (in Estonia, at the beginning of 2016) and spread across many languages and platforms, especially in social media. Very soon after the first appearance of the meme in Estonia, new global or localized variants sprang up. This article presents an autoethnographic study focusing on the important moments and ways in which a meme varies during its life cycle. We employ the walk-along method to descr…
Interpretation, Truth, And Feelings
The conference organized by the Department of Folkloristics under the heading Interpretation, Truth, and Feelings: Legends and Rumors in Culture, focusing on the study of modern traditions, was held at the Estonian Literary Museum in Tartu. Eda Kalmre’s main area of research is legends and rumors and their functioning in society. She is equally familiar with traditional legends and contemporary folklore
Reality as Presented in Estonian Legends of Hidden Treasure
Stories of hidden treasure are different from other folkloric forms as in the Estonian folk tradition the motif of money is present in all genres. Monetary relations are discussed in proverbs and riddles. The problems of poverty and wealth are present in fairy tales. Opinions and dreams concerning money are verbalised in poetic forms in folk songs. People know and still practice various methods, partly based on traditional beliefs, that are known…
Sööme, joome, lükkame, sõidame… Sotsiaalmeediakasutajate mäng Facebooki sündmuse formaadis
The Internet and its social media platforms offer opportunities to make visible grassroots creative products and activities, which would not otherwise receive wider attention. In November 2018, as Facebook enables to create online meeting spaces for various events, a series of fake events was initiated on this social media platform by Estonian-speaking users. The “actions” were announced exactly like any other Facebook event, yet were not actuall…

Koroonakriisi rahvapärased väljendused Eestis
2020. aasta läheb maailma ajalukku koroonaviiruse SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandeemia aastana. 2019. aasta detsembris Hiinas Wuhani linnas alguse saanud viirusepuhang jõudis Eestisse 26. veebruaril 2020, kui ametlikult tuvastati esimene nakatunu. 12. märtsist 17. maini samal aastal kestis Eestis valitsuse kehtestatud eriolukord, mil kasutati viiruse leviku tõkestamiseks erimeetmeid: keelatud olid avalikud kogunemised, sh kultuurisündmused, konverent…

Virumaa kohajutud
Rahvaluule uurimises on traditsiooniks kirjeldada primusilmingute levikut lhtudes vanadest haldusksustest -kihelkondadest. Klassikalise rahvaluule osas on see kindlasti phjendatud
Aardepärimuse tüpoloogiline tegelikkus
Uuritava ainese liigitamine ning tüpoloogiliste üksuste määratlemine on kogu aeg kuulunud folkloristika kui teaduse rutiinsesse praktikasse. Dan Ben-Amose sõnul on klassifikatsioonisüsteemi(de) formuleerimine lausa uurimise nõue, kuna sidus süsteem võimaldab valitud tunnuste ja kriteeriumide järgi korrastatult esitada näiliselt kaootilist infohulka ning tuletada detailide ning üksikjuhtumite põhjal mudeleid (Ben-Amos 1976: 31–32). Liigitussüsteem…
Landscape with a Whining Shinbone
The article is a diachronic analysis of a legend in the folk tale anthology by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, Eesti rahva ennemuistsed jutud ('Ancient Estonian Folk Tales', first edition published in 1866). The compiler of the anthology gave the tale the title "The Whining Shinbone" (in Estonian Vinguv jalaluu). The legend is about a corpse left behind in a valley after an ancient war, and which began to make itself known at nights as a whining b…
