The description under consideration was provided in the 1930s by Józef Obrębski (1905–1967), a sociologist, field ethnographer, ethnologist and Slavic studies scholar, who was a student of Kazimierz Moszyński and Kazimierz Nitsch, and a doctoral student of Bronisław Malinowski.

The realization of this goal is based on the notion of the demarcation productivity of Vodici, developed based on Nikita Ilyich Tolstoy’s theory of ritual codes, with its semiotic foundations of Yuri Lotman’s signifying elements; insights concerning the relationship between rituals and social boundaries made by Anthony Cohen and Macin Lubaś; Clifford Geertz’s observations on the ritual ignorance of newly-created urban social patterns; the notions of collective memory of religious groups of Maurice Halbwachs; Paul Connerton’s commemorative ...
