Unfortunately, over the past few months, reader comments on on-line news stories from local provincial media (e.g., CBC, VOCM, The Telegram) have expressed a very negative and often prejudiced view on whether Newfoundland and Labrador should accept more refugees.

    Fandom as Magical Practice: Great Big Sea, Stockwell Day, and Spoiled Identity PETER NARVÁEZ BEGINNING IN 1977, AND continuing for over two decades, I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in folklore and popular culture that explored small group ex- pressive uses of mass-mediated materials. Of the many paper topics fitting this theme, ethnographies of fandom predominated. Thus I discovered through my stu- dents’ work that several basements in St. John’s housed Star Trek main bridges be- decked with life-size cutouts of Captain Picard and Data, major Star Trek characters; that home shrines and displays lovingly devoted to Elvis were common- place; and that carloads of young Newfoundland women made pilgrimages to the United States to see the Indigo Girls perform live. In general, the conclusions of my students stressed the positive activities of audiences, not the pathology of fanatics (see Jenson 1992) who Theodor Adorno would have viewed as the dupes of a monolithic popular culture industry (1991). In 1987 several of my graduate stu- dents’ ethnographies of fans were published in a special section on “fandom” in the folklore graduate student journal, Culture & Tradition (Volume 11). These exami- nations highlighted fan creativity, their collection and display of artifacts, and their social networking. Since then, fandom studies have burgeoned. Most notably, folklorist Camille Bacon-Smith’s extensive study, Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth (1992), developed a positive view of fandom fur- ther by detailing how groups of women have used the frame of Star Trek to cre- atively communicate with one another about mutual concerns and life values.

  • 1 Vernacular Song, Cultural Identity, and Nationalism in Newfoundland
    www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2004 · Vol. 4, No. 1 Vernacular Song, Cultural Identity, and Nationalism in Newfoundland, 1920-1955 E. David Gregory Abstract Although a force in Newfoundland politics and culture, nationalist sentiment was not strong enough in 1948 to prevent confederation with Canada. The absence among many Newfoundlanders of a strong sense of belonging to an independent country was the underlying reason for Smallwood’s referendum victory. Most islanders were descendants of immigrants from either Ireland or the English West Country. Nowadays, they view themselves as Newfoundlanders first and foremost but it took centuries for that common identity to be forged. How can we gauge when that change from old (European) to new (Newfoundland) identity took place in the outport communities? Vernacular song texts provide one valuable source of evidence. Three collections of Newfoundland songs – Gerald Doyle’s The Old Time Songs and Poetry of Newfoundland, Elisabeth Greenleaf’s Ballads and Sea Songs from Newfoundland, and Maud Karpeles’ Folk Songs from Newfoundland – illuminate the degree to which by the late 1920s a Newfoundland song-culture had replaced earlier cultural traditions. These songs suggest that the island was still a cultural mosaic: some outports were completely Irish, others were English, and in a few ethnically-mixed communities, including St. John’s, there was an emergent, home-grown, patriotic song-culture. Cultural nationalism was still a minority tradition in the Newfoundland of 1930. Just as the separatist movement in Québec seems to be waning, the call for an independent Newfoundland appears once more to be finding resonance among sections of the province's population.
