Project
The principal aim of the cooperation project is to approach the role of creativity and tradition in Eastern European cultural space, addressing different genres of folklore. The project deals with expressions of traditional folklore in the new media of the rapidly transforming post-socialist societies. These will be studied through the analysis of media texts and other contemporary (folkloric) narratives, and results about how political and economic transformations influence culture will be formulated.
