The project focuses on monitoring the folklore activities in contemporary society, which are associated with making music and dance with elements of traditional folk culture without an obvious intention to cultivate, care for or further disseminate. Unlike the ideologically conceived folklore movement of the second half of the 20th century, there is a shift from presentational to participatory. There is a change in the environment of these activities, which take place not only in the activities of folklore ensembles and associated events, but in connection with emerging events. Important is the process of adopting images of the folklore movement in cultural memory, it is also a shift from local to global: folklore as a reflection of local or regional identity versus folklore as a field of hybrid and multi-genre musical dance expression using bricolage and appropriation of deterritorialized traditions. The theoretical frameworks will provide ethnochoreology and ethnomusicology focused on the study of dance and music in everyday life, their performativity and ways of communication.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
- To examine the so-called folklore activity in the post-socialist period: inclusions and exclusions in folk dance groups/ensembles, politics, memories, and narratives.
- To examine the significance of music and musicians in the folk revival movement: an analysis of participatory and (re)presentative practises and a study of sound recordings.
- To examine contemporary productions of folklore and locally organised events in comparison with institutional notions of appropriate interpretation, authorised cultural memory, and heritagisation.
