Description
Tradition in the Twenty-First Century explores how tradition adapts and evolves in modern life. Eight contributors examine the role of tradition in contemporary folkloristics, considering its impact on our understanding of the past and its relevance to the present. The authors investigate how traditions resist or facilitate dissemination and adoption by individuals and communities, shedding light on their survival, transformation, and persistence in today's world. This comprehensive overview provides a nuanced assessment of tradition from past to present, offering valuable insights for scholars and students alike. This book is an essential resource for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in folklore, providing a thoughtful exploration of the concept of tradition in the twenty-first century.
