This volume on Polish and Slavic scholarship on folk segmentation and the symbolism of time applies cross-disciplinary methodologies - from religious studies, anthropology, psychology, philosophy and cultural studies - to several oral and written folktales. The detailed analysis of Polish and Slavic folklore concentrates primarily on magico-religious behaviours as they are practiced and analyzed in everyday life. https://openlibrary.org/works/OL19641245W/Polish_Traditional_Folklore https://lccn.loc.gov/98070325 https://www.librarything.com/work/25394601/workdetails https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6101118 LCCN 98070325
