Who is, ultimately, the "people"? How prevalent is pretense and theatricality in traditional Greek folk culture? To what extent is the authenticity of traditional life staged for tourism?
Why is it so difficult to document phenomena of the long term in their temporal continuity? Why does the comparative method sometimes turn into an abstract typology, beyond space and time?
Is football a subject of folkloric research? Are there folkloric themes, beyond ethnography, in contemporary Greek literature?
Why must field research always be accompanied by reflective processes from the researcher? This volume answers the above questions and introduces the contemplative reflections of folkloric theory, as it is currently developed internationally in the sciences of human cultural analysis.
