The term ‘genre’ refers to a category or type of artistic, literary, or cultural expression that shares distinctive characteristics, forms, and conventions. In literature and folklore, genres serve as frameworks through which stories, performances, and traditions are classified, understood, and transmitted. Folklore genres are often defined by narrative structures, thematic content, performance style, and the cultural contexts in which they emerge. In the context of India, folklore encompasses a rich and diverse spectrum of genres, including myths, legends, folktales, fables, ballads, proverbs, riddles, songs, and ritual narratives. Each of these genres reflects not only the creativity of the communities that produce them but also the socio-cultural values, moral frameworks, and collective memories of those communities. Genre in folklore is not static; it evolves over time in response to changes in society, culture, and historical circumstances. ‘Genre transformation’ refers to the dynamic process through which a genre undergoes modifications in form, content, or function. This transformation may occur due to internal developments within a tradition, external influences such as contact with other cultures, technological innovations, or shifts in societal structures and values. In the Indian context, genre transformation is especially visible given the country’s complex history of cultural exchange, colonization, modernization, and globalization.
