Contributions by Anthony Bak Buccitelli, Richard Bauman, Norma Cantú, Miguel Díaz-Barriga, Margaret Dorsey, Ehsan Estiri, Gary Alan Fine, Lisa Gilman, Jay Mechling, Whitney Phillips, Afsane Rezaei, Liora Sarfati, and Beverly Stoeltje The Folklore of Democracy: Tradition and Democratic Culture after January 6th is a compelling exploration of how folklore shapes and sustains democracy, as well as how it has underwritten contemporary challenges to democratic values. This collection examines global examples-from conspiracy narratives in Iran to street protests in South Korea and Boy Scout camps in the US. It shows how folklore can help citizens understand both the threats to democracy and its enduring power. Essayists offer insightful and thought-provoking analysis that will challenge readers to reflect on the pressing issues facing democratic societies today. What makes this volume truly stand out is its embrace of diverse perspectives and voices. Readers will find no singular political stance or ideological program in The Folklore of Democracy. Instead, contributors present a spectrum of views that show how, even in times of discord, serious and well-meaning people can come together in democratic societies, despite holding different, and sometimes conflicting, points of view. The Folklore of Democracy invites readers to recognize the complexity of democratic discourse and the ways in which folklore-through its many forms-helps us engage with and navigate these complexities. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the role of culture in democracy. The contributors provide accessible and meaningful insights for scholars, students, and anyone concerned with the future of democratic societies.…

Paperback. Condition: Like New. Just over half a century ago, the rise in what became known as the "performance turn" in folklore studies led to the diffusion of performance as both a lens and a key concept across a wide range of humanistic disciplines. Now, it's time to take stock of the myriad ways in which performance and folklore studies have developed along both parallel and intersecting paths. Emerging Perspectives in the Study of Folklore and Performance reveals the captivating world where folklore and performance studies meet up, revealing both the connections and disparities between the two fields. From the mid-20th century to the present day, luminaries like Richard Bauman, Erving Goffman, Roger Abrahams, Charles Briggs, Richard Schechner, Dell Hymes, José Esteban Muñoz, Peggy Phelan, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Deborah Kapchan, and Diana Taylor have woven a rich tapestry of discourse, seamlessly blending the realms of folklore and performance. Editors Solimar Otero and Anthony Bak Buccitelli present a magnificent collection of chapters that delve into the intricacies of this enduring relationship. These diverse essays explore how folklore and performance intersect in realms as varied as digital culture, social movements, ritual, narrative, race and technology, archival practices, ambient play, post-human intersectionalities, speculative world-making, and embodied knowledge. Emerging Perspectives in the Study of Folklore and Performance is a must-read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, offering fresh insights into the evolving landscape of folklore and performance studies and transforming the ways that we connect to culture, place, and community.…
