| Summary | Concentrating on Scotland, but set within an international perspective, this course looks at the phenomenon of revivalism within popular culture movements in recent and modern times. Models and theories of revivalism will be explored, and a range of case studies from the creative arts - music, songs, storytelling, custom, belief - will be presented. Underlying this course will be a range of questions which students will be asked to explore: why do revivals take place? What can they tellus about attitudes to such concepts as tradition, progress and modernity? How do they work? In what ways have they changed the cultural landscape of contemporary society in Scotland and elsewhere? |
