feld & wege: 100 Jahre Forschung und Dokumentation – von der Volkskunde zur Alltagskultur

This anniversary volume celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Landesstelle für Alltagskultur is inspired by the theme of "Wandering". This is a reference to the beginnings of the subject of folklore and the founding of the regional office in 1923. Early researchers undertook hikes at the end of the 19th century and published their observations and experiences with "the land and the people". Today, too, it is about being on the move in the field and in the region, on old and new paths, in known and unknown places, which leads to different perspectives, views and outlooks, which the authors of this volume share with us. They not only provide insights into their academic work, but also share their experiences and expectations with regard to the Landesstelle für Alltagskultur in the past, present and future.
