Метаморфозите на еротичното
Erotic metamorphoses

Summary/Abstract: The scientific interest in the study is focused at two types of variants of the folklore custom “Dragon chasing”, documented in today’s region of Montana. In one of the variants eroticism is realized in the alien and dangerous territory of the Eternity, and the second – in the laughter area of the Holiday masquerade. The text’s point is the proposition that Eroticism as a mental category possesses varied valences, which are connected to other structures of the folklore community mentality and is being objectified into various forms of society existence. Any of these forms has a different etiology and for this reason it has to be a subject of a relatively independent analysis in the ethnologic system of world knowledge.
