Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the issue of locality in traditional cultures. The first example he gives is of the St. Bess cult in the Italian Alps, analysed from the point of view of the oral/written relation. Next comes his example of French rural architecture, which invariably reveals the power of tradition in constructing local culture. In conclusion, the author states his inference about imaginary tradition as part of the process of turning an idealised past into a heritage.
