Möbius Media
Popular Culture, Folklore, and the Folkloresque
In Möbius Media: Popular Culture, Folklore, and the Folkloresque, editors Jeffrey A. Tolbert and Michael Dylan Foster build on their earlier work looking at how folklore is understood through time and its modern-day commercialization. Exploring the interplay between popular culture and traditional culture, Tolbert and Foster consider the meaning of the word “folklore” and complicate understandings of cultural expressions and media.
Foster is professor of East Asian languages and cultures at UC Davis. Tolbert is assistant professor of American studies and folklore at Penn State Harrisburg.
