The first issue of the journal Svetovi / Worlds contains contributions of Slovenian folklorists who in December 2021 participated in the second biennial folkloristic conference under the title Current Research in Slovenian Folkloristics, organised by Mirjam Mencej at the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology. After the conference, several researchers who in one way or another deal with folklore, or who make an important contribution to its preservation, dissemination, and awareness of its importance, were invited to submit original scholarly or professional articles to be published in the new journal. The issue contains nine contributions that pose very different research questions and deal with different types and genres of folklore – from folk narratives and songs to short folklore forms and folk dances, from folk tales, legends, to proverbs and sayings.
