Abstract
This article opens new perspectives on research into Slovenian non-material folk culture within the European context by focusing on song tradition and, comparatively, also on literature. Based on contemporary folklore and literary studies, this article seeks to interpret new cultural dynamics in Slovenian folk culture in the light of various concepts and theoretical discourses, such as archetypes (Jung, von Franz), culture and globalization (Beck), collective cultural memory (Halbwachs), authenticity (Bendix), identity (Honko), and intertextuality (Kristeva), and to connect it with common European folklore and literary tradition. It also aims to indicate new ways for placing Slovenian folklore and literature within the European context.
Keywords
