Difference between Parochialisation and Universalisation!

✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️


Parochialisation and universalisation are supplementary to the con­cepts of little and great traditions. These are processes of cultural change. When the great tradition, i.e., the tradition of epics and sacred books undergoes change at the local or village level, it is parochialisa­tion or localisation of great tradition or civilisation. Parochialisation, therefore, is the cultural change made at the village level.

Universalisation, on the other hand, is a cultural change from lit­tle tradition to great tradition. Both these processes are related to the interaction between little tradition and great tradition. Interpreting the process of universalisation, Yogendra Singh observes that when the little tradition moves upward to the great tradition, it is the proc­ess of universalisation. And, when the great tradition moves downward to the local or village level, it is parochialisation.
