Abstract

Southeast Asia is a distinct geographic-cultural region, one of the cradles of human civilization. The regional approach to Southeast Asia has been booming, suggesting a wide range of scientific issues, in which regional approaches through the symbolic system help us to understand the collective consciousness. South-East Asian culture is not only single but also couple symbols - we call it duality - as a result of the particular thinking of the area: Thinking dualism. In this article we explore how Southeast Asian folklore creates dualistic symbols in Southeast Asian tale and their meaning, linked to specific, distinct cultures.
