Abstract

In today's world folkloristic the gender studies become more and more an independent branch compare to the past when it was used mainly as a secondary, helping area of studies. Gender approach gives a chance to appraise the results of the patriarch culture. Gender aspect is based on the practice of social "modeling" of the contemporary humans. Gender as a social construction is our main approach. We are trying to look at the social gender structure of the contemporary Ukrainian and Moldavian villages. At the beginning of the 21st Century it is very important to use an interdisciplinary approach to the research of the mail-female relations in the historical dynamics in agricultural communities. There are some factors which influence a change of the gender understanding and stereotypes. These active changes tell about the necessity to create an International Program in gender study.
