Folklore or folklorism? Regional and local reality in the surroundings of South Moravia
Habancová, Anna ; Tyllner, Lubomír (advisor) ; Janeček, Petr (referee)
The terms folklore and folklorism have been repeatedly defined in various encyclopaedias and professional studies (Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology and Legend, Hans Moser, Herman Bausinger, etc.), but the boundaries between their specific manifestations are blurred, often vague and indistinct. The bachelor's thesis, focusing mainly on folklore music, tries to show the differences between authentic, spontaneous expressions and, conversely, musical culture obtained "second-hand" through school, media or folklore ensembles. It shows the differences between folklore music presented on stages and traditional folklore music spontaneously 3 manifested outside the stage, which takes place on various informal occasions and within specific social contexts. Data for the analysis of the mentioned environment and subsequent conclusions from this analysis should be provided by personal experience in this area in connection with the method of qualitative research conducted in selected regions, localities and in interviews with bearers of musical traditions as well as with lay folklore audiences.

Tyllner, Lubomír
