Derivative and Associative Popular Frazerism: A Cultural Complex at Work in Late Modern Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter explores the pervasive influence of &quot;popular Frazerism&quot; on late modern forms of European ritual revival, cultural heritage making, and religious re-enchantment. This cultural complex represents an original and multifaceted response to modernity by local communities and a specific emic modality of interpreting their socially significant past. Through briefly presenting a number case studies from Europe, the chapter illustrates how popularised forms of Frazer&apos;s exegesis persist in shaping contemporary understandings of local rituals and symbols, to the point of having become a veritable &quot;folk theory&quot;. This folk theory is crafted through cultural bricolage, particularly emphasizing (and ritualising) pagan and medieval imageries. A distinction is made between &quot;derivative&quot; and &quot;associative&quot; popular Frazerism. Derivative popular Frazerism emerges from the cultural work of specific influential individuals, whereas the associative mode shapes community beliefs more indirectly. The chapter also shows how popular Frazerism can be used as a symbolic tool for re-enchantment, intertwining with emerging practices like Neo-Paganism. Ultimately, it may contribute to the shaping of local identities, the experience of cultural authenticity, and even the creation of novel, vernacular religious beliefs.
