This article explores various dimensions of the memory-folklore nexus to contribute to interdisciplinary dialogues between folkloristics and memory studies by drawing on a shared paradigm; examining the historical, theoretical, and methodological intersections; and mapping out overlapping approaches in each area. It thus establishes and introduces the concept and approach of folkloric memory to provide broader perspectives on common issues such as referential, migratory, transmedial, mimetic, aesthetic, schematic, and procreative aspects of collective and cultural narratives. The article ultimately aims to review the correlation between memory and folklore, delve into previously unexplored aspects of this connection, develop an interdisciplinary approach, and establish a groundwork for future research.
