Abstract

The current volume starts a new journal. The Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics (JEF) is a multidisciplinary forum for scholars. In the first place we aim to combine the efforts of Estonian anthropologists, ethnologists and folklorists. JEF will be published twice a year jointly by the Estonian Folklore Archives at the Estonian Literary Museum (EFA), the Estonian National Museum (ENM), the Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore and the Department of Ethnology at the University of Tartu (UT). JEF is a successor to the journals Pro Ethnologia (19 volumes, published by the Estonian National Museum between 1993 and 2005) and Studies in Folk Culture (5 volumes, published by the Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore and the Department of Ethnology at UT between 2003 and 2005).
