Scope and Content Copies of articles written by Alan Dundes on various aspects of folkore and folkore history. Biographical note Alan Dundes (September 8, 1934-March 30, 2005) was a professor of folklore at the University of California, Berkeley. His scholarship and passion for the field played a significant role in establishing the study of folklore as an academic discipline. He wrote 12 books, both academic and popular, and edited or co-wrote two dozen more. As an undergraduate Alan Dundes studied English at Yale University. He attended Indiana University for his graduate work, where he received a doctorate in folklore. Dundes began his academic career at the University of Kansas before moving west to assume a position in the anthropology department at UC Berkeley. Dundes taught folklore at UC Berkeley for 42 years, where is remained an active scholar and teacher until his death. Alan Dundes was a passionate book collector. During his career he amassed a multi-lingual collection of over 9,000 items broadly covering the field of folklore, including among other topics folk tales, jokes, anthropology, Freudian psychology, and cultural studies. In 2011 Alan Dundes’ family donated his extensive book collection to the University of Southern California. The book collection is now named The Alan Dundes Folkloristics Collection. As part of this donation, the library received rare folklore publications along with copies of articles written by Alan Dundes. These materials, now housed in USC Libraries Special Collections, provide a resource to USC students and faculty who wish to learn about Dr. Dundes and his contributions to folklore scholarship.

  • COMMEMORATION MY MEMORIES of ALAN DUNDES a Belated
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica, 53 (2), pp. 451–456 (2008) DOI: 10.1556/AEthn.53.2008.2.16 COMMEMORATION MY MEMORIES OF ALAN DUNDES A belated necrology On Wednesday, March 30, 2005, at 4.30 p.m., Alan Dundes, the greatest American folklorist of the last half century collapsed in mid-sentence while holding his graduate seminar. He died in the ambulance. As the first reports of his death all noted: it was a typical and worthy death for the outstanding professor who loved to teach. Dundes was born in New York on September 8, 1934. He received his BA and then his MA in English philology at Yale (1955 and 1958), and continued his doctoral studies in Bloomington as a folklorist. His PhD dissertation (1962) was a monograph on the morphology of North American Indian tales. By then Dundes was already publishing regularly and everyone knew the very knowledgeable, dynamic and innovative young man with the brilliant tongue. He went almost immediately (in 1963) to the anthropology department of the University of California, Berkeley. He was an excellent lecturer and hundreds attended his lessons or waited for years for the chance to do so. He received awards as an outstanding professor and teacher, as well as the most coveted American and European folklore prizes. Although he did not like to be involved in associations, to organise congresses and journals, his activity in these areas was also substantial. He trav- elled a lot in his earlier years but later he was a guest lecturer and keynote speaker at conferences only within the United States (although he was difficult to reach).

Winick ntroduction I During the 1990s, I observed several folklore forms at work among young medical professionals in New York City and Phila- delphia. Among them were the proverb “You can’t kill shit,” and its variants “Shit never dies” and “Scum never dies.” These prov- erbs proved fascinating not only in themselves but as a theoreti- cal window into the workings of occupational proverbs, both as a subset of the proverb genre and a subset of occupational folk cul- ture. On the one hand, the existence of such proverbs suggested that mainstream proverb theory needed some refi nement.

  • Oral Tradition, 8/1 (1993): 159-86
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Missouri: MOspace Oral Tradition, 8/1 (1993): 159-86 Strategies for the Presentation of Oral Traditions in Print Eric L. Montenyohl The study of literature entails several fundamental concerns. These usually include matters of creation, form, history, meaning, and significance. However, if “literature” is no longer restricted only to written works1 and encompasses all works of verbal art (oral and orally based, as well as written), then other matters must also be considered. Oral traditions occur in contexts (cultural, social, linguistic), and without consideration of these contexts one cannot begin to deal with questions of function, meaning, and significance. Learning to present and analyze performances of oral traditions—at all levels—as literature may teach scholars a great deal more about how and how not to view all literature. In the study of literature, certain forms have been privileged and have attracted most of the attention of scholars and critics. In written literature, drama, lyric and narrative poetry, and certain kinds of prose fiction (the novel and short story) dominate in Western culture. In the study of oral traditions, it has been the epic, with lesser interest in folktales and ballads. Yet the range of forms available for study is much broader. In oral tradition this may include forms as diverse as legend and proverb; folktale and belief; myth and personal narrative; riddle, joke, and anecdote. These may be found among nearly all familial, regional, occupational, social, and 1 I take literature to be verbal expression valued for its aesthetic qualities.

  • Folklore Matters: the Folklore Scholarship of Alan Dundes and the New American
    Folklore Matters: The Folklore Scholarship of Alan Dundes and the New American Studies Perin Gürel For Alan Dundes (1934-2005), teacher, mentor, folklorist. In 1989, Professor Alan Dundes wrote, “Most of my adult life as a professional folklorist has been devoted to explaining to undergraduates, graduate students, and interested members of the general public what folklore is, how we study it, and why folklore matters” (Preface, Folklore Matters vii). That folklore matters, and specifically that the folklore scholarship of Alan Dundes matters for “New Americanists,” is also the theme of this short review in honor of Professor Dundes, whom we lost on March 30th, 2005. According to folklorist Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt, Dundes’s position in the field of folklore can be compared to that of Franz Boas in Anthropology (“Alan Dundes” 24). With his research, publications and mentoring, Dundes shaped the study of folkloristics in the United States, and remained one of the field’s most influential minds, “the charismatic heart and center of the discipline” ( Zumwalt, Tribute). Dundes was the first American ever to win the Pitré prize, an international lifetime achievement award in folklore, the first folklorist to be elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and 1 Sciences, and the author of more than 250 trailblazing articles, author, co-author or editor of nearly 40 books, and the teacher of many distinguished folklorists. He has also been recognized as a leader in bridging the gap between an exclusively literary and an exclusively anthropological approach to folklore, bringing folkloristics to a new phase as a discipline (American Folklore 144).

    Folktales and Fairy Tales MGRK 212, LITR 328 Spring 2016, M 1.30-3.20pm, LORIA 259 Instructor Maria Kaliambou Senior Lector, Hellenic Studies Program 34 Hillhouse Avenue, Rm. 244, New Haven, CT 06511 E-mail: [email protected] Office hours: by appointment Course Description The course approaches, in the first part, the folktale as a genre of oral literature. Some basic concepts of the folktale and fairy tale scholarship will be discussed. The folktale will be placed in the oral literary canon by discussing and challenging the academic classifications of oral narratives. Topics such as performance, storytellers and audience will be analyzed. In the second part, the course scrutinizes the most important theoretical approaches, such as formalism, psychoanalysis, feminism and history- sociology. At the third and last part, the course will deal with the problem of orality versus literacy, as expressed in early European folk and fairy tales from Italy and France, followed by the Brothers Grimm collections through to popular chapbooks of fairy tales. The course will encourage a comparative reading of the primary texts from many European countries (German, French, Italian, English, and Hungarian). However, the course will place specific focus on Greek material and will challenge the applicability or relevance of the Western European scholarship to an oral tradition of a country of the European margins such as Greece. Texts will be available in English though students are encouraged to read available material in the original language. Course Guidelines Grade Distribution Attendance and participation 10% Oral presentation 15% First paper (3 pages) 20% Midterm paper (5 pages) 25% Final paper (10-12 pages) 30% Attendance Class attendance is mandatory.

  • Alan Dundes As Pioneering Paremiologist
    “THE PROOF OF THE PROVERB IS IN THE PROBING” ALAN DUNDES AS PIONEERING PAREMIOLOGIST Wolfgang Mieder Abstract: Alan Dundes (1934–2005) was one of the giants of international folkloristics whose voluminous publications and lectures delivered around the world touched thousands of scholars and students of folklore. The paremiological tribute to Alan Dundes has been divided into eight sections, a conclusion, and a list of references cited, i.e., 1. Honoring Alan Dundes with Three Festschriften; 2. Proverbs as Exemplifications of Folklore Theory; 3. Major Paremiological Contributions; 4. Proverbs as Expressions of Worldview; 5. The Darker Side of Proverbs: Ethnic Slurs and National Character; 6. Proverbs as Collateral Folk- lore References; 7. Major Monographs Based in Part on Proverbial Matters; and 8. The Interplay of Paremiology and Paremiography. Key words: Alan Dundes, paremiology, proverbs, ethnic slurs, Dundes’s works A tribute to my hero and friend. There is no doubt that Alan Dundes (1934–2005) was one of the giants of inter- national folkloristics whose voluminous publications and lectures delivered around the world touched thousands of scholars and students of folklore. In addition, he introduced over twenty thousand eager students to folklore stud- ies in his more than four decades of teaching at the University of California at Berkeley. Many of them were so intrigued by this popular “Pied Piper of Folk- lore” that they earned their MA or PHD degrees in folklore either at Berkeley or other universities, the result being that there are “Dundes students” practic- ing the art of folklore studies at universities or in the public sector throughout the United States and the rest of the world.

The information thus transmitted expresses the shared ideas and values of a particular group. British antiquarian William Thoms is generally credited with coining the term ‘folklore’ in 1846. Elliott Oring states that folklore is the part of culture that lives happily ever after. Folklore is a tradition based on “any expressive behaviour that brings a group together, creates convention and commits it to cultural memory” (Harring 1). Folklore is passed from one generation to another, what we hear about village life often confirms our impression. Carl Wilhelm von Sydow noted that folklore varies from region to region and suggested that this indicates the communities’ adaptation to their own cultural environment. Folklore is a broad field of study that concerns itself with the ways in which people make meaning in their lives. According to folklorist Alan Dundes, a folk group is a group made up of two or more people with at least one attribute in common.

  • The Challenge of American Folklore to the Humanities
    humanities Article The Challenge of American Folklore to the Humanities Simon J. Bronner School of Humanities, American Studies Program, The Pennsylvania State University, Middletown, PA 17057-4898, USA; [email protected] Received: 16 November 2017; Accepted: 16 February 2018; Published: 17 February 2018 Abstract: American Folklore consists of traditional knowledge and cultural practices engaged by inhabitants of the United States below Canada and above Mexico. American folklorists were influenced by nineteenth-century European humanistic scholarship that identified in traditional stories, songs, and speech among lower class peasants an artistic quality and claim to cultural nationalism. The United States, however, appeared to lack a peasant class and shared racial and ethnic stock associated in European perceptions with the production of folklore. The United States was a relatively young nation, compared to the ancient legacies of European kingdoms, and geographically the country’s boundaries had moved since its inception to include an assortment of landscapes and peoples. Popularly, folklore in the United States is rhetorically used to refer to the veracity, and significance, of cultural knowledge in an uncertain, rapidly changing, individualistic society. It frequently refers to the expressions of this knowledge in story, song, speech, custom, and craft as meaningful for what it conveys and enacts about tradition in a future-oriented country. The essay provides the argument that folklore studies in the United States challenge Euro-centered humanistic legacies by emphasizing patterns associated with the American experience that are (1) democratic, (2) vernacular, and (3) incipient. Keywords: folklore; folklorist; folkloristics; tradition; folktale; folksong; legend; joke; narrative; performance; practice theory; speech; ritual; rites of passage; internet; romantic nationalism; United States 1.

  • Learning a Better Motif Index: Toward Automated Motif Extraction∗
    Learning a Better Motif Index: Toward Automated Motif Extraction∗ W. Victor H. Yarlott1 and Mark A. Finlayson2 1 Florida International University, School of Computing & Information Sciences, Miami, FL, USA [email protected] 2 Florida International University, School of Computing & Information Sciences, Miami, FL, USA [email protected] Abstract Motifs are distinctive recurring elements found in folklore, and are used by folklorists to categorize and find tales across cultures and track the genetic relationships of tales over time. Motifs have significance beyond folklore as communicative devices found in news, literature, press releases, and propaganda that concisely imply a large constellation of culturally-relevant information. Until now, folklorists have only extracted motifs from narratives manually, and the conceptual structure of motifs has not been formally laid out. In this short paper we propose that it is possible to automate the extraction of both existing and new motifs from narratives using supervised learning techniques and thereby possible to learn a computational model of how folklorists determine motifs. Automatic extraction would enable the construction of a truly comprehensive motif index, which does not yet exist, as well as the automatic detection of motifs in cultural materials, opening up a new world of narrative information for analysis by anyone interested in narrative and culture. We outline an experimental design, and report on our efforts to produce a structured form of Thompson’s motif index, as well as a development annotation of motifs in a small collection of Russian folklore. We propose several initial computational, supervised approaches, and describe several possible metrics of success. We describe lessons learned and difficulties encountered so far, and outline our plan going forward.
