The term 'genre' refers to a category or classification of artistic, literary, or cultural expression based on shared conventions, forms, and functions. In folklore studies, genre encompasses distinct types of traditional expressive culture such as myths, legends, folktales, ballads, proverbs, riddles, and rituals. Each of these genres is defined by its unique structural patterns, thematic content, stylistic devices, performative contexts, and social functions within a community. Genre transformation refers to the dynamic processes by which traditional genres evolve, adapt, or are reinterpreted in response to changing cultural, political, technological, and societal conditions. This transformation can involve the blending of genres, the shift from oral to written or digital forms, and the reinterpretation of traditional content in new contexts. Genre transformation reflects how societies negotiate continuity and change, tradition and modernity, and local and global influences. In the Indian context, folklore is a rich and diverse cultural reservoir that reflects the pluralistic nature of Indian society. Indian folklore is not a static body of knowledge but a living, evolving tradition that has continuously adapted to shifting social and cultural paradigms. Across the various linguistic and cultural regions of India, folklore includes a wide variety of genres such as folktales (kathas), folk songs (lok geet), folk theater (like Nautanki and Jatra), myths, legends, epics, proverbs, riddles, customs, and rituals.
