Instant Tradition”

Customs are by their nature ever changing, being transformed by each new generation. In these times of rapid and significant change in Sweden, tradition (or what is perceived as tradition) can provide society with a sense of security. This can lead to a reawakening of dormant traditions or even to the invention of new ones, as seen, for instance in the emergence and successful diffusion of the Easter tree in Sweden over the past decade or so. [1 [1] The study of the Swedish Easter tree is part of the project entitled “Förändring av sedvänjor” (“Changing Customs”), initiated by the Folklore Department at the Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research in Uppsala in 2003. Led by Research Archivist Marlene Hugoson, and supervised by Bodil Nildin-Wall, Head of the Folklore Department, the project has focused on documenting the more constant among the Swedish folk customs, such as annual festivals and lifecycle celebrations. ]
