Kratochvíl, Matěj
This text deals with the relations among the spheres of folk or ethnic music, popular music and so-called world music at a time when the borderlines between individual spheres are often not sharp. In practice, the term "world music" is used with different meanings and it covers big quantity of diverse music. Because of this, this term is applicable as a marketing tag identifying the records for possible customers; it is, however, unsuitable if it is to serve as a basis for the discussion about musics of different cultures and their transformation in today’s world

A fairy-story in the eyes of a narrator versus a fairy-tale in the eyes of a folklorist
Otčenášek, Jaroslav
This contribution tries to demonstrate the differences between the technical term fairy-tale used by contemporary folklorists and the word fairy-story used by popular storytellers and contemporary readers of books of fairy-stories.

For a contemporary reader or spectator, everything possible is a fairy-tale, if only fairy-tales beings, environment or plots appear there. Therefore, there is a quite big difference between the view of an expert and that of the wide public in what is a fairy-tale or not
