American Folk Music As Tactical Media
‘Svec in this powerfully revisionist book shows how the HENRY ADAM SVEC folk revival’s communications milieus, metaphors, and, in a brilliant reading of Bob Dylan, its songs, had already discovered that “the folk and the machine are often one and the same”. From Lomax‘s computer-generated Global American Jukebox and Dylan’s Telecaster to today’s music apps and YouTube, from the Hootenanny to the Peoples’ Mic, the folk process, then as now, Svec argues, reclaims our humanity, reinventing media technologies to become both instruments Media as Tactical Music American Folk of resistance and fields for imagining new societies, new Folk Music selves, and new futures.‘ – Robert Cantwell, author of When We Were Good: The Folk Revival ‘Svec’s analysis of the American folk revival begins from the premise that acoustic guitars, banjos, and voices have as Tactical much to teach us about technological communication and ends, beautifully, with an uncovering of “the folk” within our contemporary media environments. What takes center stage, however, is the Hootenanny, both as it informs the author’s own folk-archaeological laboratory of imaginary media and as it continues to instantiate political community – at a Media time when the need for protest, dissent, and collectivity is particularly acute.‘ – Rita Raley, Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara HENRY ADAM SVEC is Assistant Professor of Communica- tion Studies at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi.

What Is Folk Music? Dave Spalding's Discussion Paper
WHAT IS FOLK MUSIC? Throughout the weekend of the Society’s 1987 Annual General Meeting in Quebec City, there was considerable discussion among the Directors o f major policy concerns within the CFMS. This discussion returned again and again to how (or even, whether) folk music should be defined. Accordingly, a committee was formed to look into the question of defining folk music, particularly with regard to the Society’s policies. Due to many exigencies, the committee was unable to meet face-to-face and a a whole during the year, but fortunately David Spalding prepared and distributed a discussion paper, to which a number of the committee's members responded in writing. It was decided to publish both Spalding’s paper and the responses in the Journal, which because of the length and nature of the submissions seemed the most appropriate vehicle for sharing these concerns. When the committee was originally formed, it was emphasized that issues surrounding the definition of folk music were not temporary but rather ongoing for the Society, and that some clear direction was desirable as a basis for framing the Society’s policies. In this spirit, the following discussion paper by David Spalding and the three responses (by Anne Lederman, Ken Persson, and Jay Rahn) are offered to our readership. DAVE SPALDING’S DISCUSSION PAPER Introduction At the Quebec meeting, the board spent a lot of time discussing “what is folk music?” Some members felt that to develop a definition that could be widely accepted by the society would help in dealing with the prob lems of the society; others felt that development of a definition was not either possible or of practical assistance, but that it was an interesting question and that CFMS should continue to provide a forum in which such questions could be discussed. -
The Blues Foundation Archives: Immersion and Preservation
The Blues Foundation Archives: Immersion and Preservation Stephanie Swindle Blues music, while still experienced through live performance, should also be documented and preserved in order to honor and promote one of the world's most essential genres of music. The influence of the blues tradition upon rock and roll artists of the nineteen fifties and sixties as well as upon the contemporary R&B and hip-hop musicians is evident in their similar subject matter, rhythmic underpinnings, and featured instrument - the guitar. Therefore, educating the public and providing scholars and fans with the resources to further appreciate and understand the blues is a significant task. The Blues Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted specifically to the preservation perpetuation of the blues. In its possession is twenty-five years worth of archival material that is in desperate need of preservation. The goal for this project is to work in conjunction with the staff and Executive Director of The Blues Foundation in order to write a grant proposal for a National Endowment for the Humanities preservation grant award. Organizing its archives, which is divided into photographs, autographed guitars, audio, video, concert, compact discs and cassettes, and miscellaneous, is the first step in a long process of preservation. In order to organize its media, The Blues Foundation will be served by submitting a grant proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities to receive funding necessary to undertake such an elaborate project. Due to The Blues Foundation's vast amount of archival wealth, the Foundation and this project, in particular, merit NEH funding consideration. -

PROFILE ARCHIVING THE DIGITAL RAI COLLECTION OF TRADITIONAL FOLK CULTURE Ettore Pacetti, Audiovisual Archives, RAI Teche, Italy Daniela Floris, Audiovisual Archives, RAI Teche, Italy 1. RAI Archive of Italian Popular Traditions: The Audio Collection and The Project1 There are not two distinct stories—that of the people and that of the educated classes; there is only one story. It is the result of continuous cultural exchange, so items of cultivated origin are as- similated into the popular tradition. Diego Carpitella 1.1 Introduction For twenty years, RAI Teche, the RAI structure of Italian Broadcast that includes all the RAI archives, has been committed to bringing to the attention of an ever-wider public the most representative components of the historical, social, and cultural evolution of our country in its collections. Figure 1. Two young peasants of Basilicata with their typical costumes. 1 This section of this co-produced paper contributed by Ettore Pacetti. 22 iasa journal no 48 – February 2018 Figure 1. Two young peasants of Basilicata with their typical costumes. The activity of recovering and enhancing RAI’s audiovisual heritage is taking a fundamental step with the launch of a recovery project devoted specifically to Italian folklore. It is in- tended to highlight a significant documentary complex of research activity that marks a new era for the study of Italian folk traditions and thus becomes a compulsory passage for any possibility to understand the phenomenon. From this first step was born the need to create a publication space—a website:http://www. teche.rai.it/archivio-del-folclore-italiano/—that would be a specific reference to a fundamen- tal aspect of Italian cultural identity, and an effective tool for sharing and exchanging funds and resources with other audiovisual archives. -
The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco
The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco Carole Poindexter-Sylvers INTRODUCTION The music and cuisine of southern Louisiana experienced a renaissance during the 1980s. Zydeco musicians and recording artists made appearances on morning talk shows, Cajun and Creole restaurants began to spring up across the nation, and celebrity chefs such Paul Prudhomme served as a catalyst for the surge in interest. What was once unknown by the majority of Americans and marginalized within the non-French speaking community in Louisiana had now become a national trend. The Acadians, originally from Acadia, Nova Scotia, were expelled from Canada and gradually became known as Cajuns. These Acadians or Cajuns proudly began teaching the lingua franca in their francophone communities as Cajun French, published children‘s books in Cajun French and school curricula in Cajun French. Courses were offered at local universities in Cajun studies and Cajun professors published scholarly works about Cajuns. Essentially, the once marginalized peasants had become legitimized. Cajuns as a people, as a culture, and as a discipline were deemed worthy of academic study stimulating even more interest. The Creoles of color (referring to light-skinned, French-speaking Negroid people born in Louisiana or the French West Indies), on the other hand, were not acknowledged to the same degree as the Cajuns for their autonomy. It would probably be safe to assume that many people outside of the state of Louisiana do not know that there is a difference between Cajuns and Creoles – that they are a homogeneous ethnic or cultural group. Creoles of color and Louisiana Afro-Francophones have been lumped together with African American culture and folkways or southern folk culture. -
