Abstract

This essay examines major interpretations of traditions infolklore studies, situating them in ethnographic case studies in China and global Asias, and highlighting their role in addressing social justice, action, and change. It connects fraditions to global issues like power, race, gender, and class within the new framework of global Asian folklore studies. I propose redefining traditions to integrate transnational, interdisciplinary, and intersectional perspectives, continually adapting to the changing world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
