Folklore
Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music,
dance, legends, oral history, proverb, jokes, popular beliefs,
customs, and so fort within a particular population comprising the
traditions (including oral tradition) of that culture, subculture, or
group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive
genres and shared. The academic and usually ethnographic study of
folklore is sometimes called folkloristic
Folklore can be divided into four areas of study: artifact (such as
voodoo dolls), describable and transmissible entity (oral tradition),
culture, and behavior (rituals). These areas do not stand alone
however, often a particular item or element may fit into more than one
of these areas.
There are many forms of folklore that are so common, however, that
most people do not realize they are folklore, such as riddles,
children's rhymes and ghost stories, rumors (including conspiracy
theories), gossip, ethnic stereotypes and holiday customs and
life-cycle rituals.
Folk traditions are practiced by groups sharing a common identity on
the basis of such factors as ethnicity, region, occupation, age and
religion. They include many kinds of cultural expression�performing
traditions in music, dance and drama, traditional storytelling and
other verbal arts, festivals, traditional crafts, visual arts,
architecture, the adornment and transformation of the built
environment and other forms of material folk culture.
Folklore are general term for different varieties of traditional
narrative. The telling of stories appears to be a cultural universal,
common to basic and complex societies alike. Even the forms folktales
take are certainly similar from culture to culture, and comparative
studies of themes and narrative ways have been successful in showing
these relationships. Also it is considered to be an oral tale to be
told for everybody. On the other hand folklore can be used to
accurately describe a figurative narrative, which has no sacred or
religious content.
Folklore has many cultural aspects, such as allowing for escape from
societal consequences. In addition, folklore can also serve to
validate a culture (romantic nationalism), as well as transmit a
culture's morals and values. Folklore can also be used to assert
social pressures, or relive them, in the case of humor and carnival.
In addition, folklorist study medical, supernatural, religious, and
political belief system as an essential, often unspoken, part of
expressive culture.
For an individual family, folklore is its creative expression of a
common past. As raw experiences are transformed into family stories,
expressions, and photos, they are codified in forms which can be
easily recalled, retold, and enjoyed. Their drama and beauty are
heightened, and the family's past becomes accessible as it is reshaped
according to its needs and desires.
The example of the folklore is The Bloody Knives by S.E. Schlosser
that telling about two Micmac warrior from rival a villages. Folklore
contain of religious, legend, custom, mythology, ghost stories, etc.
