Summary/Abstract: Texts in this issue show different emanations of the new/old environment, which is the internet for folkloristic content. This is the everyday life that we observe and in which we participate. After all, the Internet itself is becoming a creation of a "folk" imagination, saturated with multimedia narratives, which - like in traditional folklore - have a collective author. So far, there was no such anonymous medium that allowed the rapid spread of folk narratives about the world. By entering the discussion forums, blogs, fan sites and other forms of online activity, we realize that the internet reproduces the need for community, but in a technological form. And such need is always built on stories.
