a popular concept

folklore - associated w. nostalgia, triviality and Error.

interest: vernacular cultural forms and practices in the making of social life.

how do people construct for themselves, individually and collectively, a sense of a shared past, and membership in various communities?

changing expressions of historical and communal consciousness in the mundane process of everyday life as well as fomal and stylized events --> define and renew social identity

whatever the scale or profile of the social phenomena, i want to investigate on transactions- material, verbal, and ritual. this is integral to overall poetics and politics of ordinary life.

i am--> in a process of meaning-making
