Folklore Text Introduction into the Global Information Space

Abstract

The folklore of any nation is a complex system of oral works which interacts with other systems of spiritual life, such as literature, social and political life of society, etc. Folklore texts can be incorporated into the life of people naturally or introduced into the global information space through written texts (literature, media, scientific collections of folklore texts) and stage performance. The purpose of the study is to characterize the role of the heroic song about the Kurtatins in the song repertoire and Ossetian folklore; to identify basic translation principles and strategies used by the famous Ossetian educator Gagudz Guriev. The textological search was conducted in the Scientific Archive of the North Ossetian Institute of Humanitarian and Social Research n. a. V.I. Abaev. Versions of the song texts were found. Any text of Ossetian folklore is a part of Indo-European plots, tales and archetypes. A heroic song is a genre of Ossetian folklore which transfers information and signifies the importance of events, glorifies heroes. As for the folklore text as a part of the culture, currently the song about the Kurtatins is not performed by folklore amateur or professional groups. The article aims to find out whether this song exists in the folklore environment. The study can be used to compile the index of the Folklore Fund of the Scientific Archive of the North Ossetian Institute of Humanitarian and Social Research n.a. V.I. Abaev and for other research and humanitarian purposes.
