Folklore within anthropological disciplines: tradition and new approaches
Abstract
This article deals with the relationships between folklore and anthropology throughout history. And it raises the possible or recommendable connection, for the -at the time- emerging Spanish anthropology, of folklore studies within anthropological disciplines in an international academic and scientific framework. To do this, it makes a conceptual review, which goes from its definition when it emerged as a romantic "discovery of the people" to the current redefinitions. And it vindicates the meaning of its inclusion in an integral vision of anthropology as the subdiscipline or specialization that would deal with the aesthetic and creative aspects of cultures as a whole.
