Its aim is to promote academic research in the field of folk narratives worldwide. The research interests of its members cover a great range within the humanities and the social sciences. This includes folklore, anthropology, cultural studies, comparative literature, linguistics, history, museology and ethnography, all of which are considered in terms of their relation to narratology.
