Vepslastest tehtud filmid ning vepsa kultuuriline enesekuvand filmides
This article examines films made about the Vepsians. From the second half of the 20th century onwards, the Vepsians have been filmed primarily for documentary purposes by (Soviet) Russian, Estonian and Finnish researchers, journalists and other interested parties. These productions include both documentary films and journalistic television formats. Since the 21st century, the Vepsians themselves have also begun to produce films addressing their e…
Folkloor, mis pole tingimata ilus. Vägivallast rahvaluules
Lihtsustav vaade rahvaluulele ja rahvakultuurile on stereotüüpiderohke, tihtilugu ka ilustav. Oma juuri soovitakse sageli näha paremana, kui need tegelikult on. Kui minevikust on saanud aja- ja kultuurilugu, käibivad muud nähatahtmised, vajadused ja ideoloogiad. Minevikust korjatakse välja ilus või õilistav, see, mis tõstab enesetunnet praeguses ajas. Rahvakultuuri sisse kirjutatud herderlik rahvuse algvaim on puhas ja hea [...]
A Near-Death Experience Narrated by a Vepsian Woman
This article* focuses on the immediate near-death experience of an elderly woman living in traditional Vepsian culture. We analyse which universal, and which more culturally motivated features are present in her story narrated to us in 2018. We conclude that, despite the strong association with animistic beliefs in the informant's everyday life, the experience is dominated by elements specific to vernacular Orthodox Christianity. The article pres…
Deminutiivid idapoolsete läänemeresoome rahvaste animistlikus keelekasutuses
Diminutives in the animistic language use of the eastern Finnic peoples Diminutives are significantly more used in the languages of the eastern Finnic peoples (Veps, Karelians, Ludians) than others (especially Estonians or Finns). This could be explained by the long-term influence of the Russian language, which is extremely rich in diminutives. However, there are not as many diminutives in Votian or Ingrian, which are no less influenced by Russia…
The materiality of the letter in Seto oral culture
This article focuses on the concept of letter in oral folklore. The main research material is examples from the older folk songs of Seto, where a letter, a book and other items referring to literacy are mentioned. Texts under consideration are poetical and the meaning conveyed in them is not always very clear. The term letter may be related to a message, paper, book, leaf or other material medium in the songs. The boundary between oracy and liter…

Soomeugrilusest eesti rahvuspildis - kas jagatud emotsioon või hägune küsitavus
Rahvusluse olemuse debattides käib vaidlus selle üle, kas see on midagi loomulikult eksisteerivat või pelk konstruktsioon, vaieldav ja suhteline nähtus. Soovimata sellesse arutellu eriliselt süüvida, peab tõdema, et rahvusluse komponendid ja „elavad allikad” varieeruvad ja on ajas teinekord vägagi muutlikud. Nii tekkis rahvuslus Eestis ja mujalgi Ida-Euroopas XIX sajandil, toetudes folkloorile, traditsioonilisele eluviisile ja keelele. [...]
Reflecting the “Field”
For social researchers a field site is continuously made by the interactions between the researchers and the ecology, including ideologies, present at the time when research is conducted. Such interactions and their interpretations change over time due to the dynamism of life in the field and the emergence of new methods and academic discussions. In order to do this, we have taken two Vepsian villages and three researchers of different background…
The Personal Rituals of the Finnic Peoples with Forest Trees
The article examines communication with trees in Votian and Vepsian folk culture. Two cases are discussed when a person gathering mushrooms and berries in the forest has made sacrificial gifts in the form of produce to a tree to request a good mushroom and berry harvest or for good health. In the Votian case, persons who have gone missing in the forest are memorialized. Trees are regarded as not only a conversation partner or a mediator, but in a…
Resurrection, revenance, and exhumation
Different types of folklore texts differ from each other by their function. We can distinguish between genres meant to be believed (like legend) and genres recognized in advance as fiction (fairy-tale). At the same time, textual fiction may also have served practical purposes—such as the telling of fairy-tales during the late autumn and early winter for purposes of fertility magic—as used to be the case in the Estonian folk tradition. There are f…
Communicating across the Border
Artikkel ksitleb surnuhirmu letamist, seda ennekike seoses itkude
Communicating Across the Border
The present article discusses how archaic cultures eliminated their fear of the dead; first and foremost in connection with laments as a folklore genre and lamenting as a ritual practice. Primarily, we examine the relevant Balto-Finnic and North Russian traditions, in which lamenting has retained its original function of balancing the relations between the spheres of the living and the dead, and of establishing borderlines, as well as of restorin…
Määratledes ennast suulises esituses. Äänisvepsa naise itk oma mehe haual
In July 2005, while conducting fieldwork in Russian Karelia, we found ourselves in an abandoned forest village of Yashozero where we encountered the last native inhabitant of this place – an almost 80 years old Veps woman Maria.This article focuses on a performance which took place at noon on 11 July 2005 at the lake-side cemetery. Maria lamented to her husband in Russian.The performed text is rich in archaic words and concepts common to the so-c…
On the Inter-Genre Transitions of Laments and Kalevala-Metric Songs in the Balto-Finnic Cultural Space
The present paper discusses the connection of necromantic songs, spread in the Kalevala-metric tradition of the Balto-Finnic peoples, with burial laments as a possible source genre. The ways and reasons of how and why originally religious themes have taken on an increasingly ballad-like character, are examined. Differences are observed in the folkloric genre systems of various peoples. Also, the connection of such differences with peculiarities o…
The Narratives of Oskar Loorits and Paul Ariste and Their Problematic Dialogue with the 'Popular
The topic of this paper is the dialogue of the 'popular' and 'individual', more precisely the role of two outstanding persons in trying to help find the sense of ethnic identity and working towards the establishment of the national identity of two ethnic groups in the 20th century. The paper deals with the Estonian and Votian peoples and respectively the contributions of Oskar Loorits , the Estonian folklorist, and Paul Ariste , the Estonian ling…
Time, Sense and Meaning in Three Votic Songs (with Reference to Estonian and Setu Additions)
The article investigates Votic, Estonian and Setu Kalevala-metric folk songs, which describe a dialogue between a living person and his or her deceased relative. The analysis centres on religious truth in poetic texts, relying on corresponding approaches by lo Valk and Aado Lintrop. As the observed texts are no longer mytho-epic stories or laments, the question about the meaning in lyro-epic discourse is discussed and particular attention is paid…
Paul Ariste ürgvadjaluse kontseptsioon ja Oudekki Figurova
Paul Ariste initially visited Votia in the summer of war in 1942 and found there a vigorous generation who knew well the peasant-centred world where their ancestors had been living for long times. After World War II, Paul Ariste and his students explored Votia for many summers between 1947 and the end of the 1970s. Paul Ariste's postwar research on the Votic language and folklore was at the same time a testimony of a perishing nation. That the al…
Setu lüroeepiliste regilaulude eepilisest kihist

Death and Afterwards
While the first group can be seen as the more ceremonial one and, thus, more obligatory in a way, the other contains more explanations that are not bound to particular customs. In my opinion beliefs connected with certain activities are inclined to be preserved due to their complexity and dynamic character, while at the same time they are constantly under threat of being levelled down and modernised in accordance with changes in human interpretat…
