| Description | Alongside the Haná region, Wallachia is one of the Czech ethnographic regions whose formation can be traced back to the early modern period. The first Wallachians kept sheep and goats;they appeared in eastern Moravia at the end of the 15th century and formed the westernmost outpost of the so-called Wallachian Carpathian colonization. Sheep and goat husbandry in mountain areas came to play an integrating cultural role in the region, and the Carpathian type of folk culture was relevant topic of research in all the countries of the Carpathian arc. The paper focuses of fundamental questions addressed by ethnology in its local-history and ethnographic phases in connection with Wallachia; the identification of the region and the development of its spatial structure; shepherdry as a key cultural phenomenon of the region;Wallachain folklorism and its role in the formation of a regional identity. In view of the broad scope of these issues, the chapter restricts its focus purely to basic facts. |
