Studie Matěje Kratochvíla je věnována fenoménu současného návratu folklorní hudby. Na základě teoretického konceptu Christophera Smalla a Thomase Turina se autor zabývá problematikou propojením hudby s kontextem, v němž je provozována. Ilustruje to na třech příkladech ze současné folklorní scény v České republice, na nichž dokládá, jak rozdílný výsledek má způsob a kontext použité téže hudby.
This study is devoted to the phenomenon of the contemporary revival of folk music, to questions of the approach to its various forms, and to relationships with the organized folklore revival movement. It employs the theoretical concepts of Christopher Small and Thomas Turino, which allow the linking of music with the context in which it is performed. Three examples of the present-day revival of folk music in the Czech Republic are used to show how the same music can be employed for very different goals. Besides these difference, it also draws attention to the role of the organized folklore movement, i.e. a network of ensembles, festivals, and other institutions. The influence of this movement can be found in most forms of the revival of folk music, where it manifests itself both as a source of music education for the participants and as a regulatory instrument for evaluation of what elements are or are not understood as permissible.
