β¦ Synopsis
The broad field of folklore studies, developed over the past two centuries, provides significant insights into many aspects of human culture. While the term Β«folkloreΒ» conjures images of ancient practices and beliefs or folk heroes and traditional stories, it also applies to todays ever-changing cultural landscape. Even certain aspects of modern Internet-based popular culture and contemporary rites of passage represent folklore. This encyclopedia covers all the major genres of both ancient and contemporary folklore. This second edition adds more than 100 entries that examine the folklore practices of major ethnic groups, folk heroes, creatures of myth and legend, and emerging areas of interest in folklore studies.
