Abstracts

EN

This theoretical-methodological text is focused on contemporary legends and rumours narrated in the context of the interactive process of social communication. The aim of the study is to draw to the possible approach to research these narratives. The text presents a perspective that understands the contemporary legends and rumours as a text narrated in context, while context is seen as a crucial factor influencing the content, form and transmission of these narratives. The basis and inspiration is a framework for contemporary legends and rumours research – "The Folklore Diamond", proposed by G. A. Fine. The study seeks to demonstrate the perspective of the Fine´s model of interconnection among several elements of contemporary legends and rumours. Then it tries to outline view of the use and limitations of the framework in field research in a particular environment.
