Abstract

This study examines folktales as a form of oral literature whose vitality depends on memory and the transmission of knowledge. Through a qualitative approach, the author explores the causes of the decline of this cultural heritage. She highlights the roles and functions of folktales (educational, identity-related, symbolic), while emphasizing their aesthetic significance. The study focuses on efforts to safeguard folktales in their traditional form and within the broader literary and cultural heritage.
