Folklore: The Basics is an engaging guide to the practice and
interpretation of folklore. Taking examples from around the world,
it explores the role of folklore in expressing fundamental human
needs, desires, and anxieties that often are often not revealed
through other means. Providing a clear framework for approaching
the study of folklore, it introduces the reader to methodologies
for identifying, documenting, interpreting and applying key
information about folklore and its relevance to modern life. From
the Brothers Grimm to Internet Memes, it addresses such topics as:
What is folklore? How do we study it? Why does folklore matter? How
does folklore relate to elite culture? Is folklore changing in a
digital age? With case studies, suggestions for reading and a
glossary of key terminology, Folklore: The Basics supports readers
in becoming familiar with folkloric traditions and interpret
cultural expression. It is an essential read for anyone approaching
the study of folklore for the first time.
