Summary/Abstract: The concept of folklore – a systemic reassessment. Starting from the assertion of a necessity of an epistemological approach able to solve the theoretical deadlocks created by the historic evolution of the concept, this study intends to try a repositioning of the most important significations from the history of the concept of “folklore” according to some relevant force semantic lines first by their systemic articulation in order to be able to contribute this way to a better delimitation of the boundaries and features of a fundamental concept, in the direction of reaching an increased epistemological and operational efficiency of this.
