The Romanian Căluș tradition and its changing symbolism as it travels from the village to the global platform

Keywords: ,

In this essay I first examine the symbolisms of the Romanian Căluș tradition in its village setting, then I look at the changes that took place in these symbolisms during its transformation from a village ritual to a national icon. Finally I investigate the position that the Căluș tradition holds today among Romanians within Romania and in the diaspora.
