Returning to"Everydayness":Modern Folklore in the Face of Uncertainty
Risks brought about by modernization,industrialization and digitalization have become more and more obvious in people's daily lives,and uncertainty is gradually becoming macro narrative and overall characteristics of social development in China in the new era.This new social normal brings challenges to the traditional research framework,but also represents a new opportunity for the discipline to renew itself,and folklore studies can use this as a pivot point to reaffirm the discipline's research care and social value,and to improve the competitiveness of the discipline.This study argues that modern folklore needs to recognize the plural attributes of daily life and establish the research direction of culture of our group,take individual practice as the base,explore and analyze the logic of rationality and sense of order constructed by the people in the midst of uncertainty,thus responding to the real problems in the era of uncertainty,and promoting folklore to become a truly people-oriented and modern discipline.
