Many thanks to Diane herself for her organizational skill and her persistence. I also thank the contributors for their introductions and enthusiastic responses to my requests to write them. I hope again someday to work on a project that is so warmly received by its participants. Additionally, I appreciate the many colleagues who would have been willing to write introductions if room had allowed. The readers for Utah State University Press, including Barre Toelken, made helpful suggestions that improved the fi nal version, and John Alley provided the perfect organizing scheme for the essays and great patience in guiding me through my initial publishing foray. I have read manuscripts and proofs of this book at dance rehearsals, baseball games, and late into the night and thank Bill, Katelyn, Matthew, and Spencer Rudy for not minding. My gratitude to Bert Wilson is eter- nal, and for everyone who knows him, the work in this book displays our debts, always, to Hannele. Introduction often misplace certain William A. “Bert” Wilson articles and then fi nd them in unexpected locations. When researching Mormon folklore, I may need “On IBeing Human” and fi nally fi nd the article in a folder marked “Defi nitions of Folklore” or “Folklore and the Humanities.” The article might be tucked in the folder I use for the Introduction to Folklore course or even in the folder for my advanced writing class. The process gets repeated for the “Deeper Necessity” ar- ticle, the “Herder” article, and others. For this very personal reason, I have wanted a book compiling Bert Wilson’s essays. I want a good variety of his writings in one easily accessible and transportable collection. More seriously, and less selfi shly, I requested to work on this essay collection with Bert so others could receive and study the work of an excellent teacher and champion of folklore studies and the humanities. The essays won’t convey exactly what it was like to be in his classroom, what it was like to experience the vari- ety of personal experiences, lectures, slide shows, guest speakers, fi lms, and other multimedia displays he used to present folklore in all its varieties to his students. But these writings will introduce new and ongoing students of folklore to useful defi nitions and functions of folklore study. They may guide readers who know little of this fi eld, as well as seasoned folklorists, to recognize and remember the imperatives of traditional expression—the powerful needs to create, to know, and to commune within the realms of change, continuity, and a common humanity. These essays in folklore will immerse their readers in Bert’s passion for folklore as a way to negotiate recurring human needs, to recognize the values and concerns of particular groups, and to understand what it means to be human. making this collection When studying folklore, it seems important to indicate that the creation and shar- ing of knowledge takes place through face-to-face contacts as well as by reading and writing. I studied folklore with Bert as a master’s student at Brigham Young University and heard him give several of the invited lectures on Mormon narrative traditions now included here. As a folklore doctoral student at Indiana Univer- sity, I discovered that he had a wider infl uence than Mormon folklore when my 1 2 The Marrow of Human Experience professors expressed their appreciation for his work on Finnish nationalism and folklore in the academy. Knowing of the regard for Bert and his contributions to the fi eld, I more fully understood the scope and impact of his work. When we be- gan to make this essay collection, I invited his scholarly peers and former students, whom he always treats as peers, to contribute introductory notes to the essays so readers could more easily see this impact. By gathering in one collection Bert’s words from four decades of work, we can better understand his vision of folklore studies that builds bridges across academic disciplines and unites such seemingly diverse areas of specialty as romantic nationalism and Mormon folklore. It is fi tting that Michael Owen Jones wrote in his introductory note to “On Being Human” that “All of us are infl uenced by the writing of others.” The format of this book is based on Jones’s essay collection, Exploring Folk Art: Twenty Years of Thought on Craft, Work, and Aesthetics. In his collection Jones included introduc- tory headnotes explaining the personal and disciplinary context of his writings, and I enjoyed reading the notes as much as reading his articles. Contributors have been enthusiastic and thoughtful in providing their introductory responses to the essays and commenting on their relationship with Bert and his ideas. Some con- tributors refer to Bert informally by his fi rst name, while others use his last name; either name is a sign of esteem and respect. As mentioned in most of the intro- ductions and especially in the biographical sketch by his daughter Denise Jamsa, Bert Wilson is recognized as a community builder; therefore, it is particularly ap- propriate in his essay collection to include the voices of others interacting with his life and work. Many other colleagues and former students could have provided commentary on Bert’s infl uence, but the mirror I have held is infl uenced by my relationships with Bert and these contributors at this particular time. Selecting essays to include has been a delight; deciding which essays to elimi- nate from the collection has been diffi cult. I made initial selections, invited the writers to contribute introductory notes, and grouped the essays somewhat the- matically by folklore and the academy, folklore and religion, and folklore and Finn- ish nationalism. The initial order of sections and essays was improved by the care- ful reading of John Alley, our USU Press editor. On more than one occasion with Bert, I have compared the process of essay selection to compiling a “greatest hits” collection, suggesting that creating another volume later could be an option. Bert has preferred instead to winnow some previously published articles and include some unpublished papers in order to consider this as his standard. He consistently has chosen to add more recent works, preferring to present how his ideas have developed and matured rather than simply using the collection as a documentary of past thought. For example, later in the manuscript process he announced that he wanted to replace “Fact amid the Legends” with the more recent “The Folk Speak,” explaining that the two pieces expressed similar ideas but he liked the later iteration better.

  • The Seriousness of Mormon Humor We Laugh Most Loudly at the Things We Feel Most Deeply
    The Seriousness of Mormon Humor We laugh most loudly at the things we feel most deeply. By William A. Wilson ome time ago a friend of mine, talking to an historian, said he thought the historian and1 were working somewhat similar ground-to which the historian replied, "No, we do legitimate history, not folklore. Why, you should see some of the things Wilson studies. He even takes jokes seriously." I do indeed. And I hope to win others to this conviction. Perhaps even scholars with a little more vision than this particular historian have failed to S take either Mormon literary or folk humor seriously because they have believed that no such humor exists. As Richard Cracroft has pointed out, "one must search far into the first half of the twentieth century before turning up any intentionally sustained published humor" (SUNSTONE,May- 8 SUNSTONE June 1980, p. 31). Not until recent times, in novels like Samuel Taylor's Heaven Knows Why or in shorter pieces like Levi Peterson's "The Christianization of Coburn Heights" (in Canyons of Grace), do we find much written evidence that Mormons have been anything but the stolid, unsmiling souls the rest of the world has believed them to be. Nor is there in the folklore record-at least in the folklore record made available to us through the work of earlier scholars-much evidence to give a happier picture. The reason for this is simple. Just as earlier Mormon writers attempted to give literary expression to the clearly serious struggle to establish the kinedom of God in the western wasteland, so too did the first students of Mormon folklore seek oucthe folk expressions generated by that struggle.

Social Reality and Mythic Worlds Reflections on Folk Belief and the Supernatural in James Macpherson’s Ossian and Elias Lönnrot’s Kalevala Ersev Ersoy PhD THE UNIVERSITY of EDINBURGH OILTHIGH DHÙN ÈIDEANN 2012 Abstract This thesis investigates the representation of social reality that can be reflected by folk belief and the supernatural within mythic worlds created in epic poetry. Although the society, itself, can be regarded as the creator of its own myth, it may still be subjected to the impact of the synthesized mythic world, and this study seeks to address the roles of the society in the shaping of such mythic worlds. The research is inspired by an innovative approach, using James Macpherson’s Ossian (1760-63) and Elias Lönnrot’s Kalevala (1835-49) as epic models that benefit from mythical traditions.

The approach highlights especially the meaning of socio•historical and religious factors in the emergence of the Mission view of Messianic Jewish women. Ukraine, the location of this study case, is an ex•Soviet country of about 48 million citizens with 100 ethnic nationalities. Members of the Jewish Faith form one of those ethnic groups. Following the Russian revolution in 1989 and then the establishing of an independent Ukraine in 1991, the country descended into economic disaster with many consequent social problems.

  • Vernacular Theology, Home Birth and the Mormon Tradition
    Vernacular Theology, Home Birth and the Mormon Tradition by © Christine Blythe A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2018 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis examines the personal experience narratives of Mormon birth workers and mothers who home birth. I argue that embedded in their stories are vernacular beliefs that inform their interpretations of womanhood and broaden their conceptions of Mormon theology. Here I trace the tradition of Mormon midwifery from nineteenth century Mormonism into the present day and explore how some Mormon birth workers’ interpretation of the Mormon past became a means of identity formation and empowerment. I also examine how several recurring motifs reveal how the pain of natural childbirth—either in submission to or in the surmounting of— became a conduit of theological innovations for the women participating in this research. Their stories shed light on and respond to institutional positions on the family and theological ambiguities about woman’s role in the afterlife. Drawing on the language of my contributors, I argue that in birth women are sacralized, opening the door to an expanding (and empowering) image of Mormon womanhood. Blythe, ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It has been my privilege to work with so many inspiring and intelligent women whose stories make up the better part of my research. My deepest appreciation goes out to each of my contributors for their willingness to participate in this project. I am also indebted to the faculty in the Department of Folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland for their encouragement and instruction throughout the course of my Master’s Degree, In particular, I thank Maria Lesiv who offered advice on an earlier and abbreviated draft of my thesis and Holly Everett for her abiding encouragement.

Marja-Leena Stenström and Maarit Virolainen The Development of Finnish Vocational Education and Training from 1880 to 1945 Introduction The history of Finnish vocational education and training (VET) in the 1800s and 1900s can be seen as a history of solutions that actors have created in response to the need for building an education system that suits a modern nation-state society (Kettunen, 2013). Finland was part of the Swedish Kingdom for about 500 years leading up to 1809, when Finland became part of the Russian Empire as a Grand Duchy. Economically, Finland has been a static, agrarian country with a social structure based on estates (Laukia, 2013a; Klemelä, 1999).
