Folk and
Popular Culture
FOLK culture is STATIC and is practiced in more isolated places and by relatively homogenous groups
POPULAR culture is DYNAMIC and is found in larger and more heterogeneous places
Anonymous hearths
Multiple hearths, acting independently
Anonymous sources
Unknown dates
Unidentified originators
Oral origin stories
Product of developed countries
Typically North American or European
Origin usually traceable to specific party in a particular place
Smaller scale and slower transmissions
from one location to another primarily through
relocation diffusion (migration)
Tends to be transmitted by way
of hierarchical diffusion
Diffuses rapidly and
extensively from hearths or
nodes of innovation with help of modern communications
TECHNOLOGY- ‘Silicon Valley’
MUSIC- Motown (soul), Nashville (country), urban
centers (hip hop)
MOVIES- Hollywood, Bollywood
FASHION- NYC, Paris, London, LA
Combination of local physical and cultural factors influence distinctive distributions.
Isolation from other cultures because of physical barriers —e.g., distance and mountain ranges
Religion
Widely distributed across many countries with little regard for physical factors
Principal obstacle to access is lack of income to purchase the material (technology, fashion, etc)
FOLK and POPULAR
MUSIC
Originates anonymously
Transmitted orally
Content of songs centers on events in daily life that are familiar to the majority of people.
Life-Cycle events
E.g., birth, death, or marriage
Environmental features
E.g., agriculture or climate
Like other folk artifacts, folk music
is STATIC, relatively
unchanging over time.
Music written by specific individuals with the intent of being…
Sold
Performed in front of a paying audience
Often displays a high degree of technical skill or refinement
Musicians often have strong connections with other similar musicians that may span the globe.
Popular music is highly DYNAMIC,
changing and shifting rapidly
along with cultural preferences.
Sports originated as isolated folk customs and diffused like other
folk culture via relocation diffusion.
Some sports have diffused more widely than others
…But none has diffused as widely as SOCCER, the world’s
most popular sport
SOCCER was invented in the 11th
century in ENGLAND.
A colorful ORIGIN STORY accounts for its creation
Different versions of the game were played in different towns/cities
Over time, the game became more standardized and popular in England
During the Industrial Rev’n, factories would form teams to play other factories. This became extremely popular.
In 1863, the first LEAGUE is formed, and the rules were standardized for the first time.
People begin to PAY to watch games-and athletes get PAID
Travelers to England, and those in contact with English travelers, hear about or play the sport. Dutch students bring it to Continental Europe in the 1870s; Spanish miners start playing in the 1880s.
Soccer is spread worldwide by empires, especially the BRITISH EMPIRE.
Today, soccer is by far the most widely dispersed sport in the world. Though some regions dominate,
it has reached nearly every corner of the globe.
To qualify as an Olympic event, a sport must:
Be widely played in at least 75 countries, AND
Be played in countries on 4 continents
There are currently 28 Olympic events
NEITHER of the two most popular sports in the USA are played in the Olympics
American Football
Baseball
CRICKET is played in many former British colonies, including countries in the Caribbean, India, and Australia.
WUSHU is a form or martial arts; it is the most popular sport in China. Millions pay to see matches or choreographed performances.
RUGBY was adapted from early
SOCCER in 1823 when a player in RUGBY, ENGLAND picked up the ball and ran; the crowd loved it.
Today, Rugby is played in former British colonies, like Cricket.
The sport is most popular in AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND, though its popularity in the US is growing rapidly.
