这篇文章是对宾夕法尼亚大学民俗学文化志研究中心（Ｃｅｎｔｅｒｆｏｒ Ｆｏｌｋｌｏｒｅ ａｎｄ Ｅｔｈｎｏｇｒａｐｈｙ ａｔ ｔｈｅ Ｕｎｉｖｅｒｓｉｔｙ ｏｆ ｐｅｎｎｓｙｌｖａｎｉａ）的一个概要介绍。这个中心是当今美国民俗学界为数不多的几个可以授予民俗学博士学位的学术单位。同时，它也是美国民俗学界的学术中心之一。因此，在这篇文章中，除了对这个中心的历史及其博士学位的要求进行描述以外，文章还对这个中心主要民俗学家的学术研究进行了基本的介绍和概括。目的主要有两个：其一，弥补单纯孤立的翻译所不能容纳的学科背景知识，希望读者能更系统整体地把握个体研究在学科发展中的位置；其二，希望这种介绍能成为一个获悉当代美国民俗学发展的窗口，从一个侧百更多地了解其历史与动态，以促进国内外的学术交流。也正是为这种目的，在正式介绍中心以前，结合一些美国民俗学发展中的特例，文章论述了为什么携带“家”学并立足国际性的学术对话对于发展中国当代民俗学（或民间文学）非常重要。
