The editors thank Suzanne Conklin Akbari and William Rob- ins,T co-organizers of the seminar, for helping us to think through the pro- posal on which the event and (by extension) the book were based, and for their efficient and good-humored help with conference logistics: Truth and Tales might not have come into being without them. We also thank those who attended the seminar as speakers or audience for their thoughts, especially (again) Suzanne Conklin Akbari and Ethan Knapp, conference respondents. Funding for the conference was provided at the University of Toronto by the Canada Chaucer Seminar, the Department of English, the Centre for Med- ieval Studies, the Faculty of Law, St Michael’s College, Trinity College, the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, and Victoria University (within the University of Toronto); at The Ohio State University, by the Department of English and the Division of Arts and Humanities; and by the departments of English at the University of Western Ontario and Harvard University. We are grateful to all these entities for their generosity. We also thank Malcolm Litchfield and (again) Ethan Knapp, for agreeing to publish this book in The Ohio State University Press New Studies in Med- ieval Culture series, the press readers for their many useful comments, and Lane Baker for his work on the index. Finally, we owe a special debt to Chris Chism for a particularly incisive and sensitive report which went well beyond any conceivable call of professional duty. Besides being of significant value to many individual chapters, Chris’s report was instrumental in helping the edi- tors rearticulate the book’s larger themes and structure. ix PREFACE NICHOLAS WATSON and FIONA SOMERSET his book was conceived and written by colleagues and students of Richard Firth Green, the book’s dedicatee and honorand of the con- ference from which it developed: “Truth and Tales: Medieval Popu- larT Culture and the Written Word,” held at the Canada Chaucer Seminar at the Centre for Medieval Studies in Toronto in April 2012. After Oxford, the University of Toronto is Richard’s alma mater, and he himself spent much of his career in Canada, at Mount Allison University, the University of British Columbia, Bishop’s University, and the University of Western Ontario, where he taught for two decades before moving to The Ohio State University in 2002 as Humanities Distinguished Professor of English. A towering figure on the Canadian and American medieval scenes, it is fitting that he should be cele- brated in a book grounded in a Toronto conference but published by The Ohio State University Press in its important new series Interventions: New Studies in Medieval Culture. Given the breadth of Richard’s interests and influence, not to mention his gregariousness, it is also fitting that the contributors to this book are a diverse group, including not only past and present department col- leagues from Ohio State and the University of Western Ontario and former students but scholars with no relationship to either university. Although all of us would reckon ourselves among those touched by his scholarship, we are also a diverse group intellectually. Richard’s work has made its mark on a rather high proportion of the historicist work published in Middle English studies for well over thirty years. Yet it is one of his distin- guishing characteristics that he has always preferred to cultivate his own gar- den, quietly influencing those around him and aware of their work but not xi xii Preface seeking to lay down a method for others to follow, let alone to found a school. The scholars who most influenced him have mostly been from outside Mid- dle English—apart, perhaps, from his Oxford tutor, John Burrow, and a few others of that generation, including George Rigg. In the case of his brilliant first book, Poets and Princepleasers, these included cultural historians such as Owen Barfield. In that of his great second book, A Crisis of Truth, and much of what has (so far) come after, they have included anthropologists, especially Jack Goody, and scholars of orality, especially Walter Ong, Brian Stock, and Michael Clanchy. All his work is indebted to French social historians, notably the “Annalistes,” Georges Duby and Jacques le Goff, and some of it also to their Russian counterpart, Aron Gurevich. Those whom Richard has guided as students or colleagues will know the frequency and admiration with which names like these come up in conversation. But his advice, even when he will give it directly, most often has the effect of deepening one’s existing methods of thought and work, not pulling it in the direction he might himself wish to follow. The result for this book, whose contributors seek to honor Richard by presenting him with something that emerges from their own work, not a pastiche of his, is a wider variety of approaches than perhaps typical of the festschrift genre. Even the book’s title bespeaks the results of his demand that others think for themselves. Only its first half, Truth and Tales, which explicitly alludes to A Crisis of Truth, is directly redolent of his work, acknowledging the strong impression that book makes on many chapters of this one, as well as noticing, allusively, the two books’ interest in the transmission and transformation of authoritative materials across the boundaries of time, culture, language, and genre. The title’s second half, Cultural Mobility and Medieval Media, broad- ens the object of the book’s interest out into various contiguous fields, not all of which have been cultivated by Richard, among them social history, book history, vernacular studies, and media studies. Here emphasis falls on the continuities, communalities, and negotiations that linked what are still too often called the “high” and “low” cultures of the later Middle Ages, rather than on transformations or divides. Of course, Richard has himself written about such continuities often; his chapter here is a fine case in point. But as they till their own several patches, his fellow contributors are properly aware that there is nothing else here much like anything Richard himself would have written, or perhaps wanted to write, and that this fact makes no differ- ence either to the debt that the book and its contributors owe him, nor to our anticipation that he will read its chapters with his customary alertness, sometimes annoyingly finding treasures the authors themselves had failed to notice were there.

    1 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC 44TH WORLD CONFERENCE 13 - 19 JULY 2017 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS 2 Kai Åberg (University of Eastern Finland) Finnish Romani songs – a product or a process? the constructivist perspective to the music of the Finnish Kaale Over the past 25 years among the Finnish Romani musicians (and elsewhere in Europe), I have sought various things in the empirical material of my research. The basic question, however, was already crystallized in an early stage of the research process: How are the elements of cultural meaning of the songs and the informants’ conceptions of the songs constructed? Because legacies may be constituted in a multiple and flexible way, the purpose of my presentation is not only to describe the songs or events of song culture, or to chart their distribution, but also to seek more complex ways of understanding and explaining them: How are the meanings of the Romani music constructed in different times and places? Although we can be partly freed from determinism by underscoring the role of humans in construction of their own reality, people should not, however, be defined as independent of their culture. Seen from a folkloristic perspective, the same could be said in other terms; even constructivists have not ignored that people belong to their heritage before heritage belongs to them. When speaking of a collective musical tradition we must not forget that underlying tradition there is a social group and people tend to act differently in groups than on their own. My approach is based on the notion of knowledge as socially constructed.

  • Deftones Discography and Songlist
    deftones discography and songlist I’ve been a Deftones fanatic for years now. A recordstore in Amsterdam was selling ‘Adrenaline’ after it just came out and were promoting it by putting a small handwritten sticker on the cover saying ‘For fans of Helmet’. Maybe I have to be thankfull to the person who put the sticker on it, cuz it made me buy it and ever since that moment I’ve been hooked on Deftones and everything about them. After a few cancellations in 1996 the band finally did their first European Tour in 1997, also the first time I saw them live. That even proved me more that this band was something special and from that moment on I bought every t-shirt and every item which had to do with the band. In 1999 me and my long-time buddy Thijz, a Deftones fan also, build a website (www.dutchdeftones.com R.I.P.) to expose all the stuff we knew and own about the band and share it with other fans. Other fans could send in photo’s and information to make the site a great source for more fans. By that time another great fansite was born called www.deftonesworld.com. That website is still alive and is maintained by my Portugese pal Nuno Rolinho. Also de fansite is still famous for being the best website/source for Deftonesfans out there. I will be honest to say that I thought that the power and energy, the first Deftones live performances where famous for, died a little round 2001 but still, on recordings Deftones remained an outstanding, fresh band, re-inveniting themselves all the time.
