Tradition in the Twenty-First Century: Locating the Role of the Past in the Present
Autor Trevor J. Blank, Robert Glenn Howarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 2013 – vârsta ani
Emphasizing how tradition adapts, survives, thrives, and either mutates or remains stable in today’s modern world, the contributors pay specific attention to how traditions now resist or expedite dissemination and adoption by individuals and communities. This complex and intimate portrayal of tradition in the twenty-first century offers a comprehensive overview of the folkloristic and popular conceptualizations of tradition from the past to present and presents a thoughtful assessment and projection of how “tradition” will fare in years to come. The book will be useful to advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in folklore and will contribute significantly to the scholarly literature on tradition within the folklore discipline.
Additional Contributors: Simon Bronner, Stephen Olbrys Gencarella, Merrill Kaplan, Lynne S. McNeill, Elliott Oring, Casey R. Schmitt, and Tok Thompson

Recenzii
"The
editors
of Tradition
in
the
Twenty-First
Century are
to
be
heartily
congratulated
for
assembling
a
lively
set
of
readings
that
raise
important
issues,
ask
useful
questions,
and
offer
lines
of
thought
with
the
capacity
to
focus,
refine,
and
extend
the
folkloristic
encounter
with
perhaps
its
core
intellectual
construct,
the
elusive
yet
necessary
concept
of
tradition."

both
future

Descriere
InTradition
in
the
Twenty-First
Century,
eight
diverse
contributors
explore
the
role
of
tradition
in
contemporary
folkloristics.
For
more
than
a
century,
folklorists
have
been
interested
in
locating
sources
of
tradition
and
accounting
for
the
conceptual
boundaries
of
tradition,
but
in
the
modern
era,
expanded
means
of
communication,
research,
and
travel,
along
with
globalized
cultural
and
economic
interdependence,
have
complicated
these
pursuits.
Tradition
is
thoroughly
embedded
in
both
modern
life
and
at
the
center
of
folklore
studies,
and
a
modern
understanding
of
tradition
cannot
be
fully
realized
without
a
thoughtful
consideration
of
the
past’s
role
in
shaping
the
present.
