Findings of this study indicate that the primary performers of staged folklore in Yugoslavia are amateurs, numbering in the thousands, mostly belonging to cultural arts societies, mainly adolescents or young adults, and are from both rural and urban areas. The folkloric programs observed were of various types, the most frequent being in the concert format, and involving folk music, song, dance, theatre, games or combinations of these. Program contents were found not to vary by type of audience, but by type of occasion. Staged performance of folklore was found to be prolific in the tourist context, especially on the Adriatic coast in the summer, yet also quite common independent from foreign tourism both seasonally and spatially. The data from this study support the notions that performances of folklore in Yugoslavia in the summer of 1988 were not done solely for foreigners, or for the money that is generated by such performances. Local residents did not appear to have lost interest in such activities due to their staged quality, and did not seem to resent such presentations of Yugoslav culture to foreigners. A conclusion of this study is that the authenticity of folklore is not necessarily lost when it is presented as a staged performance. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:10:54Z (GMT).
