| Subject Contents: | The course content provides an insight into the possibilities of defining and classifying traditional culture, conceptual and ideological approaches as well as the methodology of scientific research. Motivation on the reflection in the national-local and urban-rural context is offered. The current conception of cultural interpretation, as well as the strategy of reconstruction and revitalization is drawn out in the foreground. Special attention is paid to the culture of the festival and branding in the context of the tourist offer. The analytical approach to selected examples offers the possibility of critically considering contemporary concepts of the use of tradition. The tradition on the scene and in media discourse through the consideration of possibilities and controversy is being addressed.
