About Dylan Eret

As a folklorist I examine forms of stylized communication among diverse groups within the United States. More broadly I explore the ways in which people artistically communicate with one another in everyday life. Present interests: theories of play games and humor; rumor gossip stories and informal networks; genre and power; the reproduction of social class lifestyle enclaves and ethnic differences; the history and impact of emerging communication technologies and new media on identity formation.
