Folklore Fellows' Communications
Folklore Fellows' Communications ( FFC ) is the title of a folklore series edited by the Finnish Academy of Sciences since 1910 . As an instrument of international narrative research , it primarily serves to publish lists of types and motifs (especially for fairy tales and legends ). By 2010 there were a total of 300 volumes.
history
In 1907 the FFC was founded by Kaarle Krohn and Axel Olrik . In the beginning, the publication was in the hands of the international research association of Folklore Fellows in Helsinki , which only existed until 1911 . The aim was twofold, firstly to make folkloric material available to narrative researchers. Second: to support them in publishing their scientific research results in an easily accessible language - up to 1967 most of the volumes appeared in German. By far the most productive employees were Antti Aarne with 20 and Kaarle Krohn with 17 appearances.
