Trending and Emerging
- Digital Folklore:
The rise of digital culture has led to an increase in studies examining folklore's transformation in the digital age, including memes, social media narratives, and online communities, showcasing how traditional folklore adapts to new mediums. - Cultural Identity and Globalization:
There is a growing focus on how folklore interacts with themes of cultural identity amid globalization, with papers exploring how traditional narratives are reshaped in diaspora communities and multicultural contexts. - Folklore and Mental Health:
Emerging research links folklore to mental health and well-being, examining how traditional narratives and practices can serve therapeutic purposes, offering insights into the psychological dimensions of cultural expressions. - Environmental Folklore:
The journal is increasingly publishing works that address folklore's relationship with environmental issues, highlighting how cultural narratives reflect and influence ecological perspectives and practices. - Intersections of Folklore and Gender Studies:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Rituals:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional rituals, with fewer papers examining these practices in isolation. This may indicate a broader trend toward integrating rituals into discussions of cultural identity and social change rather than treating them as standalone subjects. - Mythological Studies:
Research specifically centered on mythological narratives seems to have waned, as newer publications increasingly contextualize myths within contemporary issues or interdisciplinary frameworks rather than focusing solely on myth analysis. - Folklore in Historical Contexts:
The journal has seen a decline in articles that solely address historical folklore without connecting it to modern implications or cultural practices, suggesting a shift towards more contemporary analyses that resonate with current societal themes. - Regional Focus on Lesser-Known Cultures:
There appears to be a reduced emphasis on folklore from lesser-known or marginalized cultures, as the journal increasingly highlights more widely recognized traditions, potentially overlooking valuable insights from diverse cultural perspectives.
