By focusing on northeastern Romania and southwest Ukraine--two of the most ruralized regions in Europe--this work reveals the complex landscape of peasant plays and the essential role they perform in shaping local culture, economy, and social life. The rapid demise of these practices and the creation of preservation programs is analyzed in the context of the corrosive effects of global capitalism and the processes of globalization, urbanization, mass-mediatization, and heritagization. Just like peasants in search of better resources, rural plays \"migrate\" from their villages of origin into the urban, modern, and more dynamic world, where they become more visible and are both appreciated and exploited as forms of transnational, intangible cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alin Rus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666915432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666915433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Alin Rus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077970587903,"sku":"9781666915433","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a02069f9-3ef3-4872-a42b-1a2266953ea3.jpg?v=1685472811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-globalization-of-rural-plays-alin-rus-9781666915433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
