DOI: 10.23951/2307-6119-2025-1-160-176
The review publishes ten archival Lower Chulym texts collected by A.P. Dulzon in 1948 during an expedition to the village of Turgai, Asinovsky District, Tomsk Region. The texts (except for one, published by A.P. Dulzon in 1966 with the final part omitted) have not been previously published or analyzed, and are presented here with anthropological interpretation. The article provides a detailed commentary on the plot of one text – a folkloric account about a hero's encounter with the supernatural, the plot is compared with similar motifs in the linguacultures of other ethnic groups in Southern Siberia, as well as with a version recorded in 1977 by other researchers. Comments are given on the text containing the plot of “fainting”, various designations of allegorical images in the texts are considered, the transformation of the “gender inverted” text is analyzed, and the Lower Chulym variants of designations for the concept of the soul are considered.
Keywords: Lower Chulym dialect, expedition materials, folklore texts, plot of fainting, concept of the soul
