STANCIU, Nicolae
- Abstract
This article aims at analyzing in a comparative perspective some beliefs related to Saint John's of Summer day and some customs performed on this day in a transitory cultural area spanning Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. The author tries to underline the connections between Romanian and Slavic cultures visible at different levels like beliefs, customs, images and symbolic representations. It is supposed that analyzed items belong to a common stock of beliefs and reflect a similar system of representations relevant for identity of each ethnic group with some lines of coherence as resulting from a presumable co-inhabitation.
