##article.abstract##

Our study aims to highlight the implicit cultural structures notably present in heritage cultural productions, considered both as a specific discourse and as a form of popular literature manifested through masterful aesthetic techniques. Deeply rooted in cultural anthropology, it attempts to answer questions such as: Why can’t one point at a grave? Why shouldn’t a young girl crunch her bread too much when preparing it? Why is it forbidden to tell stories to children during the day? And why is it prohibited to sweep doorsteps with one’s feet?

Starting from these Socratic questions, our research leads to fundamental sociocultural issues; however, in its quest for meaning, it can only be conducted by thoroughly exploring these cultural holons in their historical existence, their cultural, social, and psychological dimensions, rigorously employing the tools of cultural criticism. Indeed, uncovering implicit cultural patterns within a sui generis discourse requires an exploratory approach comparable to an archaeological dig, due to the complexities and layers that characterize discourses and hinder access to what remains latent within them.
