- This scholarly work, edited by Solimar Otero and Anthony Bak Buccitelli, explores emerging perspectives in the study of folklore and performance. It examines performance theories and practices, rethinking traditional concepts through critical lenses such as embodiment, gender, race, and digital culture. The contributors offer interdisciplinary approaches that challenge reified notions of performance, drawing from fields like folkloristics, linguistic anthropology, and performance studies. The book aims to foster dialogue between disciplines and invites readers to reconsider foundational ideas while addressing contemporary issues in performance studies. It is intended for scholars, students, and practitioners in the humanities and social sciences, particularly those interested in folklore, cultural studies, and performance theory. Generated by AI.
