Transformation of understanding of folklore in the modern post-nonclassical discourse

In article transformation of understanding of folklore with its inclusion in a modern post-nonclassical discourse is considered. Consideration of folklore through a prism of interdisciplinarity not only broadens the problem field of its studying, but also deepens semantic contents. Focusing attention on change of “functional properties” of folklore, authors consider rural folklore as primary which acts in historical dynamics not only as a form of expression of consciousness of country society and a source of education, but also the mechanism of welfare inheritance, and city folklore - as secondary. The last acts in the urban environment as a form of representation of consciousness of individuals - natives of the concrete class and professional environment and a way individual (or group as individual) self-expression. According to authors, at the stage “post-cultures” when culture is presented by conglomerate of the closed subcultural educations, secondary city folklore represents not so much post-folklore, how many modern post-secondary folklore.
