Jan Harold Brunvand Libri

    Jan Harold Brunvand è un professore emerito di inglese, rinomato per aver reso popolare il concetto di leggenda metropolitana, o folklore moderno. Prima del suo lavoro, le fiabe erano associate a tempi antichi o culture rurali; la svolta di Brunvand fu applicare concetti accademici di folklore a storie che circolano nel mondo moderno. Il suo lavoro pionieristico ha preso il folklore dal passato e ne ha dimostrato la vibrante presenza nella nostra contemporanea era digitale.
