Conspiracies. Origins and development of conspiratorial formulas

In the book N.F. Poznansky contains a detailed and systematic overview of all modern auto author and directions of Russian and European science in the field of exploring conspiracies as a folk genre. He collected a huge actual comparative material of Russian and Western European conspiracy texts, most of which are not available to the modern researcher. The work considers first of all the features of the shape of conspiracy, as well as the components of their text, working with a plot primarily as with one of the most ancient language formulas. It is important that the researcher attracted an interesting religious material that normally remained outside the field of view of the folklorists.
N.F. Posnansky offers its own scheme of evolution of a conspiracy form. He believes that the verbal conspiracy formula appeared to explain the magical rite that arose earlier, and then acquired an independent value. This author allocates one of the ways to form conspiracy formulas. The researcher showed a special and peculiar point of conspiracy in the system of folk genres. Arriving in ancient times, they continue to exist and now. It is for this reason that an externally simple and uncomplicated text of the conspiracy often contains a very interesting alloy of the spreading components.
The book is addressed to philologists, cultivologists, religions, anthropologists, as well as all readers interested in history and culture of Russia
