Abstract

The article is a response to a lecture on postnational folklore and globalization. The author critiques the lack of focus on folklore in the lecture and challenges the views on globalization and the nation-state. It discusses the history of folklore studies in the United States, highlighting the contributions of scholars and the government's role in promoting inclusivity. The text explores the development of folklore studies in relation to globalization and the digital age, critiquing previous limitations and highlighting the potential effects of digitization on cultural communication. However, it suggests the need for a theoretical framework to account for the global present and past within folklore studies. [Extracted from the article]
