摘要:This issue is aimed at introducing several studies dwelling on the major theme Track Changes: Reflecting on a Transforming World of the 14th SIEF Congress which took place in Santiago di Compostela (April 14–17, 2019). We found it logical to open the volume with a review article by Alexander Novik (Sankt-Peterburg) and Irina Sedakova (Moscow) of the 14th SIEF Congress which sheds light on the major trends in the development of ethnology and folklore, as well as in the humanities and social sciences all over the world, including Balkan and Baltic states.
