INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE
ON
INCORPORATING
FOLKLORE STUDIES IN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
26th
-27th December 2017
AT
KIIT
University, Bhuvaneswar
The word, ‘folk’
has wide range of understanding and connotations – ranging from ‘natural’ to
‘native’ to ‘traditional’ to ‘rural’ and in some cases ‘from the heart.’ The
‘outpourings from the heart’ of native or traditional people later takes the
form of folklore. folklores are oral traditions, traditional knowledge and
beliefs of cultures often having no written language and they are transmitted,
generally, by word of mouth. Like the written literature they contain both
prose and verse narratives in addition to myths, dramas, rituals etc. All the cultures
have their own folklores. In contrast and traditionally, literature is
understood to mean any written work.
Literature, in
written form, helps in preserving the folklores and oral traditions. But for
the literature in this form, the world would have lost almost all the folk and
oral traditions. Written books, as recordings of folklores help in passing on
the lofty thoughts and ideas to posterity with no or very little changes in
contrast to oral traditions where they often get lost in transition. Literature
also can highlight the relevance of the stories of the past to the generation
of the present, something which the oral traditions cannot strongly do.The
existing professional literature would have us believe that the primary
managerial action is that of a reflective and systematic planner. Conversations
with preservation practitioners and community members led him to identify 14
reasons. These include creativity, architecture, beauty, history, sacred,
learning, sustainability, and economics, However ancestors, identity
(individual, civil, state, national and universal), continuity, memory,
and—perhaps most significantly—community can also be included . Significantly
historic preservation needs to pay more attention to "cultural
significance.
Heritage tourism,
as a cultural tourism segment, is “the evocation of the past and inherently
about visions or understanding of the present, and a key justification for the
preservation of both material cultures and traditional practices, in what they
can tell contemporary communities or tourists about themselves and others. It
is something of a paradox of modernity that at the same time that relentlessly
seeks modern people, also hankers after something older, more authentic, or
traditional.”
Incorporating
folklore literature in management practices in corporate world can definitely
work wonders. It is argued that all businesses must have a plan and, if for but
no other reason than by default, it is the manager's responsibility to see that
one is developed. Therefore myths, stories, fables etc can be considered as
exemplary in our daily life as professionals, leaders in corporate world.
Places and local
communities are also their cultural past which should be valued it in the
present, as our respondents point out. It is our belief that only through a
participated cultural and territory planning and management it will be possible
to value cultural identity and consequently value the tourist experience.
Planning and management should lay on a local/regional cultural dynamic
concerned with educational values based on the various expressions of art.
Regarding folk dance, it should be recognized that once it is closely linked to
many other expressions such as music, rituals, festivities, musical
instruments, objects, artefacts, ornaments, to promote the folk dance knowledge
is to promote knowledge about identity.
In this context,
folk dance valorisation, as a touristic resource, should be rethought over so
that not only young people but also the ones of other age fringes might
integrate this expression of the popular culture as their own more than for the
others. This demands several educational dynamics.
