Performance studies consider folklore

  • A.in action
  • B.in the past
  • C.in the form of an idealized text
  • D.in the fossilized text

Answer: A

Performance studies consider folklore in action: they treat a tale, song or ritual as a live event, with performer, audience, setting and occasion, and not as a text lifted out of its use. Folklore in the past, in the form of an idealised text or in the fossilised text are all views of the older, text-centred approach, in which folklore was seen as a surviving relic. The performance approach rejects that, so the keyed answer is in action.
