Many pundits predicted that modernization and the rise of a mass culture would displace traditions, especially in America, but cultural practices still bear out the importance of rituals and customs in the development of identity, heritage, and community. In Explaining Traditions: Folk Behavior in Modern Culture, Simon J. Bronner discusses the underlying reasons for the continuing significance of traditions, delving into their social and psychological roles in everyday life, from old-time crafts to folk creativity on the Internet. Challenging prevailing notions of tradition as a relic of the past, Explaining Traditions provides deep insight into the nuances and purposes of living traditions in relation to modernity. Bronner's work forces readers to examine their own traditions and imparts a better understanding of raging controversies over the sustainability of traditions in the modern world. 000438521 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438521 650_0 $$aFolklore$$zUnited States. 000438521 650_0 $$aOral tradition$$zUnited States. 000438521 650_0 $$aCommunication in folklore$$zUnited States. 000438521 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial life and customs. 000438521 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000438521 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBronner, Simon HJ.$$tExplaining traditions.$$dLexington : University Press of Kentucky, 2011$$z9780813134062$$w(DLC) 2011017139$$w(OCoLC)720634924 000438521 8520_ $$bacq 000438521 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438521 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=792123$$zOnline Access 000438521 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438521$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438521 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438521 980__ $$aBIB 000438521 982__ $$aEbook 000438521 983__ $$aOnline
