The Slavic Idea and the Origin of Bulgarian Folklore Studies

This paper presents various concepts of Slavic ethnic and cultural identity and their influence on the formation of knowledge about the Slavs in ethnography and folklore studies, including the impact on the Bulgarian lands. The origin and the development of Bulgarian ethnology is analyzed in this context. The findings indicate that Bulgarian ethnology focuses almost entirely on studying Bulgarian folk culture beyond the paradigms of Slavic. *** Avtor prestavlja različne koncepte slovanske etnične in kulturne identitete in njihov vpliv na oblikovanje znanja o Slovanih v etnografskih raziskavah; v tem kontekstu analizira tudi razvoj bolgarske etnologije. Analiza kaže, da so se bolgarski raziskovalci v 19. stoletju skoraj izključno posvečali le bolgarski ljudski kulturi, ne da bi se zgledovali po slovanski paradigmi
