Välitööd rahvuskaaslaste juures Krasnojarski krais

Abstract

In the summer of 2008, Estonian folklorists Anu Korb, Astrid Tuisk, Andreas Kalkun, and Tiit Sibul took part in the fieldwork expedition carried out among Estonians living in the villages of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. The team of folklorists collected information about the establishment of the villages, the local song tradition, folk calendar rituals, family holidays, popular methods of treatment in folk medicine, and folk tunes. Next to the lore material collected on previous expeditions in Siberia, the team recorded material about the everyday life of the people: working on collective and state-owned farms, coping in present-day Russia, residential houses and their interior, traditional food, etc. The photographs taken and videos recorded inform about the cemetery tradition in the village, local handicraft, interiors of houses, etc.The 2008 fieldwork expedition resulted in about 75 hours of audio-recorded material, 30 hours of video-recorded material, over 2,000 photographs and the fieldwork diaries of members of the expedition team.
