Candidates who have an undergraduate degree in any discipline can apply online for the two-years' Master of Arts in Folklore and Culture Studies (MAFCS) by visiting the official website of IGNOU; i.e. ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in. The open university has been offering Postgraduate Diploma in Folklore and Culture Studies (PGDFCS) through open distance learning mode.
The new MA programme aims to find out the relation between folk culture and context through various frameworks borrowed from disciplines such as Literature, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Folklore Studies and emerging disciplines such as Culture Studies, an IGNOU statement said.
IGNOU’s MAFCS focuses on themes including oral literature, material culture, social customs, performing arts, theories and methods of folklore employed so far such as historical-geographical, historical-reconstruction, ideological, functional, psychoanalytical, cross-cultural, structural and contextual.
This programme, the statement said, is a result of the interdisciplinary approach to the paradigms of knowledge.
