STUDIA MYTHOLOGICA SLAVICA 13, 2010

Martin Golema:

Actors (Igrci) as Archaic Poets and Sacerdotal Priests among the Pagan Slavs.
Medieval sources and some dimensions of the Old Slavic word *jgrc (its derivate and continuity) as followed in signifi cant Slavic ethnolinguistic traditions

Abstract

The study gives a sketch of a Slavic memory specialist, an archaic pagan poet, whose functional competence in the Middle Ages has been accepted by the church. The study formulates the answer to the question "Who were medieval Slavic actors ("igric"), and what place did they occupy in the conceptual framework (secondary modeling system) of a three-functional ideology?" The theme of actors ("igric") is represented as one of the central and perspective topics which can also be surveyed by the archeology of literary communication, studying the history of the text before a literary epoch.
