Goldstein (1927-1995) housed at the Memorial University of Newfoundland Folklore and Language Archive (MUNFLA). Kenneth Goldstein, a distinguished American folklore scholar and theorist, spent two years (1976-78) as the head of the Department of Folklore at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. From that time until his death on 11 November 1995 he was a Research Associate at Memorial. In this capacity and with several local collectors, from 1978 until 1990, he amassed a collection of folksongs from various parts of Newfoundland and Labrador. His Newfoundland collections came from St. John’s, the Southern Shore, St. Mary’s Bay, Placentia Bay, the Burin Peninsula, Conception Bay, Trinity Bay, Bonavista Bay, White Bay, Fogo Island, the Great Northern Peninsula and the Codroy Region. He also recorded songs in Central Labrador and the southern coast of Labrador. About 3400 songs were collected by Goldstein from 243 performers in the province. The Goldstein materials at MUNFLA comprise 208 tapes, organized into twenty-three collections. Each tape is uniquely identified by its own shelflist number (prefixed by an F- or a C-, depending on whether it is a workcopy), and each collection by its accession number.

    Белявский, А.М. 3 – три / А.М. Белявский // Крыніцазнаўства і спецыяльныя гістарычныя дысцыпліны: навук. зб. Вып. 9 / рэдкал.: С. М. Ходзін (адк. рэд.) [і інш.]. – Мн.: БДУ, 2014. – с. 212 – 239. А. М. БЕЛЯВСКИЙ 3 — ТРИ В предложении содержится форма его смысла, но не его содержание. Л. Витгенштейн, «Логикофилософский трактат», 3.13 Предлагается интертекстуальный взгляд на некоторые события войны Ирландии за независимость через призму народной традиции и мемуаров участников в контексте эпо са о Кухулине. Автором предпринята попытка исторической репрезентации как главного выразительного средства, что могло бы расширить интерпретационные возможности чи тателя, выйдя за пределы простого чтения. Читателю предлагается отвлечься от обыден ного восприятия исторического нарратива как текста, воспроизводящего реальные собы тия, и увидеть его как цитирующую саму себя традицию фольклорной памяти. The article proposes an intertextual view on some particular events of the Irish War for Independence in folk tradition and the memoirs of its participants in connection with the Cuchulainn epic cycle. The idea is to explore the possibilities of making the form of the historical representation its main expressive remedy which makes it also suitable for contemplating and calculating along with plain reading. The reader is invited to question the common view of historical narrative as the text reconstructing the actual events and to see it rather as a replication of traditional archetypes in folk memory. Ключевые слова: Ирландия, Англия, война за независимость, летучие колонны, «чер нопегие», Солохедбег, Кевин Барри, Долина Ноканьюр, Кухулин, традиция, мучениче ство, эпос, фольклор, память, интертекстуальность, деконструкция. Keywords: Ireland, England, War for Independence, flying columns, Black and Tans, Soloheadbeg, Kevin Barry, the Valley of Knockanure, Cuchulainn, tradition, martyrdom, epic cycle, folk history, memory, intertextuality, deconstrucrtion.
