REGIONAL RESEARCH IN MACEDONIA BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF RUSALIAN RITUAL PROCESSIONS

Summary/Abstract: Rusalian ritual processions are a regional feature of southeast Macedonia. The performances of Rusalian dances with their specific characteristics attract the attention of folklore researchers for they represent the most interesting syncretic form. In the richness of form and figures of speech, folklorists find a constant provocation from researching the rituals related to these dances. With their complex organization, the series of taboos which follow them, the specific clothing, the way of movement and dancing, all leave room for various scientific interpretations. The goal of said research is to determine the characteristic elements of the Rusalian dances and the relations with similar dances that widely appear all over the Macedonia.
