6. Zburătorul: L'amant ailé dans la mythologie roumaine.

Abstract

In Romanian folklore and mythology, Zburatorul (literally, "the flying man") is a spirit disguised as a handsome young man that visits young women at night, and drains them of power and vitality through erotic activities. Although this motif is by no means unique in the world collection of tales and legends, I consider it an interesting enterprise to analyze the symbolism of the "winged lover" (often depicted as a winged man, winged serpent, dragon or fire tornado) in a country where he is more known than the world famous Dracula. In my paper I shall try to define this mythological figure by discussing various Romanian folklore texts, from songs depicting his effect on women or their longing for him, to charms used to prevent him from visiting the women, while at the same time comparing Zburatorul with similar spirits encountered in other cultures.

7. An Introduction to the Anthropology of Japan: Focus on Matsuri

Author

TAMAS, Carmen Sapunaru

Subjects
ritual, matsuri, cultural anthropology
Abstract

I have been teaching an introduction to the anthropology of Japan for morethan five years, to students of various cultural backgrounds, and it is not always an easy enterprise. Ethnology in itself represents the comparative study of two or more cultures, but when students are just discovering the basics of a new subject,comparing various aspects of various cultures can often become confusing. This paper will focus on the introduction of concepts related to Japanese festivals(matsuri) which are usually unfamiliar even to Japanese students. As in any research field, defining the operating concepts is the first thing that has to be done when focusing on Japanese festivals, and I will show how I introduce some of these concepts both to Japanese and international students, using written and visual materials. The purpose of the class is to enable students to identify the various elements of a festival, their role in the ritual process, as well as the general structure of the ritual.
