Geybullayeva, Rahilya (ed.)
in Collaboration with Izabella Horvath and Sevinj Bakhysh

Papers represented by scholars from Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Turkey, Chechia, Bulgaria, United Arab Emirates, USA, UK, Sweden, Australia, The Netherlands, has been grouped around chapters National or Transnational, Source or Interpretation, Eastern Archetypes in the West: Rumi, Ashik-Kerib, Qurriat Al-Ayn, Archetype as a Symbol and an Image, Archetypes in Language and Translation, Archetypes in New Transformation or Fan-fiction, Mythology Archetypes and Totems, Archetypal images as a way of constructing identity.
     The topics of this book range over various materials inspired by a field of questions related to archetypes. For example, the myth of Troy and the history of Romeo and Juliet as they appear in English and Italian form one branch of research. Another branch is made up of the plot of Leili and Mejnoun as it has been re-narrated in Azerbaijani, Persian, Indian or Uzbek, and now in contemporary Georgian and Russian. Yet again there is the plot of Dr. Faustus in English and German. These beg the question, "how do archetypical plots travel?"
    Yet another area of research is how "nationality" figures into the construction and communication of epic plots? How is one to distinguish, for example, the song and verses of Mowlana and their adaptation in music by American authors? What about the similarity of melodies in the classical mugham of Bayaty-Shiraz and in "Toccata D Minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach? How do these things travel? How do these kinds of things of art travel when it comes to nations? How does a translation influence the migration of plots?
    Finally, there is the matter of how these things travel and change in relation to different media, especially to modern media technology, to music, to cinema, to fan-fiction, to hyper-text.
    These questions were posed for a conference devoted to the question of Archetypes. The forms of archetypes have changed and continue to change from one migrant plot to another. Taking into consideration the things mentioned above, the question arises: "Where are the borders between an original text, influence, and plagiarism?"
