Interpretative Levels of the Oral Legends Writings

The main hypothesis is that tradition, as the important element of cultural identity and the main condition of folkloristics, is a continuing (historical and ongoing) process of multi-level interpretation of repetitive procedures and symbols in the human community, rather than an inherited collection of indisputable facts, spiritual values and material objects. Various interpretative levels and procedures within tradition as a process depend on who is interpreting it, what are their aims, what is the community/individual conceptual and value system and what is the social, cultural, and political context.
