At the same time, continuities in mythic images, motifs, myths and genres reveal the longue durée of mythologies and their transformations. The eighteen articles of Mythic Discourses address the many facets of myth in Uralic cultures, from the Finnish and Karelian world-creation to Nenets shamans, offering multidisciplinary perspectives from twenty eastern and western scholars. The mythologies of Uralic peoples differ so considerably that mythology is approached here in a broad sense, including myths proper, religious beliefs and associated rituals. Traditions are addressed individually, typologically, and in historical perspective. The range and breadth of the articles, presenting diverse living mythologies, their histories and relationships to traditions of other cultures such as Germanic and Slavic, all come together to offer a far richer and more developed perspective on Uralic traditions than any one article could do alone." 517 $aStudia Fennica Folkloristica vol. 20 606 $aReligion & beliefs$2bicssc 606 $aOther non-Christian religions$2bicssc 606 $aSocial issues & processes$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 615 7$aReligion & beliefs 615 7$aOther non-Christian religions 615 7$aSocial issues & processes 615 7$aSociology 700 $aStepanova $b Eila$4aut$01452511 701 $aFrog$f1972-$01452512 701 $aSiikala$b Anna-Leena$0712542 701 $aStepanova$b Eila$01452511 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765717303321 996 $aMythic Discourses$93654150 997 $aUNINA
