Abstract
The article offers an overview of the main scientific works of Elena Sergeevna Novik – а folklorist, anthropologist and researcher of ritual and non-fairy-tale folklore of the peoples of Siberia. This review is divided according to the thematic principle: each section is devoted to the problems that occupied the researcher in a particular period of her academic activity, while the chronological order of the works is preserved within each thematic section. This division allowed not only to depict main theoretical issues, that the researcher dealt with, but also to preserve the logic of their intersections. Among the identified thematic sections one can find, firstly, the studies of fairy tales, which E.S. Novik was engaged in at the dawn of her academic career. Subsequently, the researcher continued the study of similar theoretical problems, but already on the material of the ritual folklore of Siberian peoples, – this transition is reflected in the next section. E.S. Novik was also fascinated by the problem of folklore genre, to which she devoted several works, as well as the study of pragmatics and semiotics of communication. In addition to the parts of the review devoted to the consideration of articles and monographs, the review includes a thematical section displaying E.S. Novik’s visual projects and publications of her works from different years. The review also includes a brief biography of the researcher.
