    Play and Folklore no. 52, November 2009 Play and Folklore Music for Children in the Torres Strait - the Recordings of Karl Neuenfeldt Kids can Squawl: Politics and Poetics of Woody Guthrie’s Children Songs Tradition, Change and Globalisation in Moroccan Children’s Toy and Play Culture The Meaning of Folklore: The Analytical Essays of Alan Dundes Sydney High School Playground Games and Pranks A Cross-cultural Study: Gender Differences in Children’s Play 1 From the Editors Play and Folklore no. 52 has been an unusual challenge, with articles from Beijing, Rome and France dealing with aspects of children’s play in China, the Netherlands, America and Morocco. The issue also includes articles from Perth and Sydney, and the historical perspective runs from the 12th century to the present day. As the year 2009 is ending, the project ‘Childhood, Tradition and Change’ is entering its fourth, and final, year. This national study of the historical and contemporary practices and signifi- cance of Australian children’s playlore has been funded by the Australian Research Council together with Melbourne, Deakin and Curtin Universities and the National Library of Australia and Museum Victoria. In 2010 the research team will be carrying out its final fieldwork in primary school playgrounds, beginning the analysis of the rich body of data already obtained, and preparing the book which is the project’s final outcome. We are pleased to include Graham Seal’s review of the analytic essays of Alan Dundes, as edited by Simon Bronner. Both the book itself and Seal’s review pay tribute to the seminal work of one of the world’s most distinguished folklorists.

  • Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region
    Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region The Goldfields region of Western Australia is home to around 7,200 Aboriginal people who represent 12% of the region’s population.1 An estimated 2,900 people speak an Aboriginal language as a first language.2 Many of the remaining Aboriginal population speak an Aboriginal language as a second or subsequent language, are a partial speaker, recaller and/or speak an Aboriginal dialect of English or speak Standard Australian English. Identifying the languages and their dialects of the northern, western and southern districts of the region has proven to be difficult as there is meager historical linguistic material prior to 2011. Multiple forms of names are recorded in historical material and the relationships between the names needed to be investigated. However, Ngaanyatjarra and dialects, and Yankunytjatjarra as well as Walpiri and Pintupi from the Northern Territory have been well documented. Speakers of each of these languages are found in the Goldfields region. The southern and western Goldfields regions were heavily impacted during European settlement due to a number of mineral booms, in particular during initial gold rushes between 1890 and 1910. The region experienced an influx of around 20,000 people in a 2-year period during the first gold rushes at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. This boom decimated a number of Aboriginal populations through the spread of disease and starvation, competition for sparse water and food, and through massacres. Most Aboriginal people who survived the first wave of European settlement were relocated to the nine missions established in the region or were sent to other missions outside the area such as Mogumber Mission near Perth.

    Issue No. 7 (September 2003) — New Media Technologies The Technology, Aesthetic and Cultural Politics of a Collaborative, Transnational Music Recording Project: Veiga, Veiga and the Itinerant Overdubs By Denis Crowdy and Karl Neuenfeldt New media innovations and the popularity of ‘world music’ have facilitated crosscultural and transnational recording projects in the past few decades. New media technology makes collaboration at a distance feasible and a market for the very eclectic genre(s) of ‘world music’ makes projects potentially economically viable. Beginning approximately in the mid- 1980s with the popularity, and contentiousness, of Paul Simon’s Graceland project (Meintjes 1990) and other ‘world music’ projects such as Deep Forest (Feld 2000), academic researchers have explored the nature, legality and cultural dynamics of such recordings (e.g. Mills 1996; Zemp 1996). An ancillary to such research has been research into the multifaceted roles of academics in such kinds of cultural production. Cultural production here includes the overlapping components of most contemporary cultural products, including their ‘circuit of culture’ (production, regulation, identity, representation and consumption) (Du Gay 1997). Such research provides insights into the processes and end products of cultural production of a particular ‘art world’ of shared aesthetics (Becker 1982), in this case popular music. Examples of such academic involvement include: production and participation in educational dance performances (Mackinlay 2001), soundscape and acoustic ecology recordings (Feld 1991, 2001; Feld and Crowdy 2002), and commercial or community-orientated music CDs (Scales 2002, Neuenfeldt 2001). This article describes and analyses the aesthetic, technological and cultural processes informing the cultural production of Veiga, Veiga, a song recorded by 73-year-old Australian Torres Strait Islander Henry (Seaman) Dan.
