This study, based on extensive fieldwork in the Republic of Moldova, approaches the problem of this central dichotomy in Gagauz identity through the lens of daily religious practices. This empirical approach reveals how scholarly discourses on ‘folk religion’ guide the local fieldworker’s identification of what are ‘folk’ religious practices and thus actualises 'folk religion' in a given context.The book offers a fresh methodological perspective on ‘folk religion’ as discourse and object of study and is the first monograph in a Western European language on the religion, history and identity of this under-studied European people.Studies in the history of religions ;135.Gagauz (Turkic people)MoldovaReligionFolk religionMoldovaGagauz (Turkic people)UkraineOdesaReligionFolk religionUkraineOdesaMoldovaReligious life and customsOdesa (Ukraine)Religious life and customsElectronic books.Gagauz (Turkic people)Religion.Folk religionGagauz (Turkic people)Religion.Folk religion281.9089/9436Kapaló James Alexander849204MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457739103321Text, context and performance2001647UNINA
