In former socialist countries and Slovenia as one of the former Yugoslav republics is no exception here many changes have occurred over the last years. While old narrative forms have been adapted to suit the new circumstances, some new narrative forms have appeared as well. At present, the concept of folk narrative in Slovenia can be considered according to the following six conceptual frameworks: original contexts and functions; folk narrative as part of the cultural landscape; folklore groups, cultural societies, and tourist events; folk narrative performance; application of folk narrative in art; contemporary legends and narratives in electronic and mass media. The latter, of course, require new research approaches and methods.
