В обзоре рассматриваются вопросы, затронутые на XIII Конференции рабочей группы по календарной обрядности «Ритуальный год», действующей в рамках Международного общества этнологии и фольклора. Научное мероприятие проходило 7-9 ноября 2018 г. в Бухаресте (Румыния). Конференция «Ритуальный год» является профессиональной площадкой для обмена опытом и идеями в области ритуалов и ритуальных практик этнологов, антропологов и фольклористов со всего мира.
The review covers the issues touched upon at the 13th conference of the working group on calendar ceremonialism, “Ritual Year”, operating under the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (hereafter SIEF). The scientific event took place on November 7-9, 2018 in Bucharest (Romania). The conference has its own long history; therefore, traditions and the main “backbone” of the conference, as well as the circle of regular participants, have been established. Due to the narrow research issues discussed, there are no “random” speakers with messages of little relevance to the general theme, as it often happens at “big” congresses. The conference “Ritual Year”, without exaggeration, has become a professional platform for the exchange of experience and ideas in the field of rituals and ritual practices of ethnologists, anthropologists and folklorists from around the world.
The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest present.
