folkloristisessa

Folkloristisessa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the folkloristic" or "belonging to folklore studies." It refers to the academic discipline that studies folklore, which encompasses traditions, beliefs, customs, stories, songs, dances, and material culture passed down through generations, often orally or through practice. Folkloristics as a field examines these elements to understand human culture, social structures, and the transmission of knowledge and values within communities.

The term folkloristisessa might appear in contexts discussing research methodologies, theoretical frameworks, or the specific nature of objects or practices being analyzed within the field of folklore. For example, one might encounter a phrase like "folkloristisessa tutkimuksessa" (in folkloristic research) or "folkloristisessa merkityksessä" (in a folkloristic sense). It implies an approach that looks beyond the surface appearance of cultural phenomena to understand their deeper meanings, functions, and historical development within their cultural context. The study of folklore often involves fieldwork, archival research, and comparative analysis to identify patterns and variations in traditional expressions.
