Description

This age of post modernism has woken up from the slumber of modernism and begun to recognize certain plus points of Pre-modern Age that have been discounted as unscientific and unreliable during modernism. Consequently, the local and the specific issues have acquired importance. Unlike the age of modernism that threatened the existence and sustenance of folklore, this Age compassionately protects and preserves the treasures of folklore. The scholars through their papers have endeavoured to describe and discuss various issues of folklore in this new millennium.

This book presents a good gamut of scholars from highly academic to greatly experienced people in folklore. All the papers are divided into three major categories. The first section covers general issues of folklore in the new millennium. The second describes various genres and themes of folklore with history and tourism. The information, the hypotheses and the analysis will certainly interest and benefit folklorists and folklore enthusiasts.
