Abstract
Summary
The paper explores oral literature of Bistra, describes the types and forms that appear, as well as the themes and motifs that prevail in narrations according to available sources. The research showed that oral literature of the Bistra region is mostly based on oral lyrics, folklore theater and oral tradition, which was recorded during field research in the 1970s by researchers at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research (then: Institute of Folk Art). Comparative analysis has shown that certain themes and motifs in written poems from other regions appear in Bistran versions of oral lyrics. Within the research of folklore theater, dramatic scenes were recorded, mostly related to religious holidays, carnival masquerades and wedding customs, while oral tradition contains records of the Peasant uprising 1573, serfs and feudal lords and the figure of Matija Gubec. Nowadays, members of the Cultural and Artistic Society "Bistra", the Association "Ecomuseum Bistra", as well as other Bistra associations, locals and researchers are involved in preserving, and promoting Bistra oral tradition.
