When analyzing Belarussian tales, the 'Baba' (peasant woman) represents the image of the Other in the structure of the ethnic self-image. When comparing to the modest, industrious, kind 'Mouzhik' (peasant man), the 'Baba' appears a peevish, greedy, malicious, and lazy creature. The question is why the Baba's image completely differs from memoir image of the true woman? The authoress looks for the answer at two levels of analysis, textologic as well as structural and functional. At the first level, the Baba's features can be explained as her original connection to evil. From the structural and functional point of view, the Baba is a necessary component of the ethnic self-image because she provides background for the Mouzhik, and other characters appear from the darkness of 'the ethnic self-conscious' to the level of rationalization of their true features and gender roles. Contrary to the common point of view about equality in the relationship between the man and the woman, tales demonstrate women's inequality in traditional Belarussian culture. This proves the masculine character of peasant culture in Belarus.

The paper sets out to compare accounts from the oral prose repertoire in Slovakia, which were recorded in the Slovak and Romani languages and where Roma are featured. For the purposes of the study the author choses texts from various sources (= recorded oral narratives); the criterion for choosing was whether there was mentioned in the texts of characters designated as (male/female) Gypsy or Roma. First of all, she traced how the characters of Gypsy man/woman or Roma man/woman are depicted and characterised. Further to this, she explored in more detail the question of which genres of oral prose the narratives featuring Roma characters belong to. In conclusion, the author assessed to what extent we can trace a definite idea of Roma in the narrations, hence what narrative hetero-image (idea of the Roma in Slovak narrations) and self-image (idea of Roma in narrations by Roma) is featured.
