The literary texts are read and interpreted in the light of recent theories so as to re-read them from the context of the present.

INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The Folklore department was established in 1992. The department started functioning with an understanding that without understanding the Folklore of Karnataka, its history and culture would be incomplete and it has the potential to provide an alternative perspective on Karnataka.\u00a0 The department carries out its mandate in five aspects a. Faculty members taking up research project, b. Publication and though that intervening in the academic field, c. documentation of folk culture\/practices both tangible and intangible, d. creating a forum through conferences, seminars, workshops and 3. teaching to create new scholars in the field.\u00a0\u00a0 Apart from research and its publications, the department has so far documented 10 epics in Epics of Karnataka series. The department is running a Diploma course on Folk Arts with the help of Distance Education centre and also running a journal called \u2018Jaanapada Karnataka\u2019<\/em>. The department is offering M.A., Ph.D. integrated program in Folklore. We are neither looking at folklore as a relic of the past nor romanticizing it. We are aware of the changing dynamics of the contemporary world and we believe that folklore offers alternative understanding of the past and could provide multiple perspectives on the past and the present condition of our communities. Department places emphasis on field oriented studies: field survey, field interactions, field activities. We are also making forays in applied aspects of discipline of folklore.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Vission and Mission” tab_id=”1551782250579-b13d6b1a-924f”][vc_column_text el_class=”language-list”]<\/p>\n

Vision Statement of the Department<\/strong><\/h6>\n
    \n
  • To develop alternatives to Euro-centric knowledge production by engaging with indigenous and traditional knowledge systems enshrined in folklore.<\/li>\n
  • Focusing on marginal sections of the society by focusing on tribes, women, peasants etc.<\/li>\n
  • Documenting living, tangible and intangible folk culture to enquire about the philosophy that underlies it and to see its rejuvenation in the changing world.<\/li>\n
  • Make available alternate ways of seeing the world, inhabiting the world to the consumption oriented society to address the problems of the present.<\/li>\n
  • To act as a bridge between humanities (hermeneutics) and Social science (positive analysis) by developing folklore studies as a critical third space in both the streams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
