EL SECULÒRUM I LA SECULERA. Contes i acudits llicenciosos valencians de tradició oral.
A work dedicated to the Valencian narrative folklore that is linked to the expression of sex. Its main objective is to highlight the value of a subgenre that, although it still has a certain validity in the oral tradition, in the Valencian context, unlike in other territories, has not been compiled and studied in a monographic way until now.
It supposes a contribution to the Valencian rondallística, offering, on the one hand, an anthology of a hundred stories and songs compiled from the oral tradition. It is the result of a field work carried out in different towns both in the Valencian and Castilian linguistic area. There is a sensitization to reproduce the oral materials through reliable transcriptions so that they have validity both as ethnographic documents and as testimonies of a linguistic patrimony.
On the other hand, the work offers an introductory study to understand aspects related to the stories as literary texts, such as the humoristic resources on which they are based, or referring to their context, for example, the sources and the fields in which they are disseminated. Likewise, the study proposes a classification of the materials according to the index of rondallistic types The Types of International Folktales.
