Urbane legende. Ogledi iz američkog folklora

Description

The recent development of information technologies, foremostly that of the Internet, has made feasible an, up to now, unimaginable reciprocity in the field of anthropological re¬search. If only the wealthy scientific communities were be privy to a global research, while the rest of the world was de¬prived, the fast flow of information has made possi¬ble that each of its users be in the possession of relevant information for the study of, until now, unapproachable turfs, such as the US. Urban legends epitomize a para¬mount illustration of the possi¬bility of examining American folklore from any world view¬point, not least Serbia. That is possible, for urban legends gen¬erated in America are disseminated through the standard chan¬nels of globalization, and through the afore¬mentioned World Wide Web.
