Next Week

The tutorial question for next week:

What is particularly ‘romantic’ about the concept of the ‘folk’ and what is dangerous about connecting the folk to conceptions of national identity? What role does myth play in this formulation?


Moreover, think about the keywords that Sian mentioned during the last lecture: 'authentic' (you might want to jump a little to existentialism/Heidegger/Nazism?), 'pure', 'original'.

Whatever new ideas you might have about these are welcome so feel free to use this page to comment.

Have a nice weekend
