Editor’s Column With this issue Oral Tradition returns to its customary miscellany format, offering half a dozen essays that examine as many strands in humanity’s complex of verbal traditions: a previously overlooked theme in Old Germanic poetry; a pictorial system for representing narratives devised by the Naxi dongba in southwestern China that conjugates the oral and the literary in the same vehicle; an illustration of contemporary shamanistic augury and communication with the dead practiced by women from the Vlach minority community in eastern Serbia; an account of genre classification schemes for Trans-Atlantic Gaelic song traditions; and, finally, the debut in the pages of Oral Tradition of “lexomics,” an analytic tool that is brought to bear on a passage of Beowulf to suggest that its antecedents belong to a highly-formulaic unwritten source. First up, we feature an essay from Paul Battles and Charles D. Wright that identifies “The Scop’s Repertoire” as an Old English traditional theme, one that associates verse-making with three motifs: copiousness, orality, and antiquity. Close analogues in Old Saxon, Old and Middle High German, and Old Norse poetry suggest that “The Scop’s Repertoire” theme originates in an oral Germanic tradition of versification. Thus, the theme sheds light on the myth of the oral poet, depicted either as divinely inspired or bearer of tradition. Douglas Poupard’s essay examines the orality of ritual texts written in the Naxi dongba script in southwest China. Historically, the inherent orality of these texts was largely overlooked by scholars who instead conceived of them as visual “hieroglyphics.” Here, the author makes the case that the Naxi texts represent an intermediary stage between the “oral” and the “written,” and calls into question the reality of any sort of stark divide between orality and literacy, that is, the so-called Great Divide theory. Maria Vivod reports on her fieldwork among the fairy-seers of southeastern Europe, usually women, who are able to communicate with the invisible realm of the fairies. The fairy-seers sometimes fall into trance-like states to establish communication with the fairies. During the trance, the fairy-seers can prophesy future events and bear messages to the living from their deceased relatives. The author’s essay relates case studies of two such women belonging to the Vlach community of eastern Serbia. The essay by Virginia Blankenhorn illustrates the importance of songs and singing in traditional Gaelic society. Revisiting earlier attempts to classify Gaelic song genres, she examines whether or not constructing such typologies remains a worthwhile scientific objective. Finally, the author characterizes the place and role that singing occupies in contemporary Gaelic, particularly in the light of the contextual and aesthetic changes shaping Gaelic song performances in the current commercially-driven “world music” environment. Mary Knight offers a thorough examination of textual features of the Qur’ān that appear to emerge more prominently as a result of hearing

  • The Challenge of Oral Epic to Homeric Scholarship
    humanities Article The Challenge of Oral Epic to Homeric Scholarship Minna Skafte Jensen The Saxo Institute, Copenhagen University, Karen Blixens Plads 8, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 16 November 2017; Accepted: 5 December 2017; Published: 9 December 2017 Abstract: The epic is an intriguing genre, claiming its place in both oral and written systems. Ever since the beginning of folklore studies epic has been in the centre of interest, and monumental attempts at describing its characteristics have been made, in which oral literature was understood mainly as a primitive stage leading up to written literature. With the appearance in 1960 of A. B. Lord’s The Singer of Tales and the introduction of the oral-formulaic theory, the paradigm changed towards considering oral literature a special form of verbal art with its own rules. Fieldworkers have been eagerly studying oral epics all over the world. The growth of material caused that the problems of defining the genre also grew. However, after more than half a century of intensive implementation of the theory an internationally valid sociological model of oral epic is by now established and must be respected in cognate fields such as Homeric scholarship. Here the theory is both a help for readers to guard themselves against anachronistic interpretations and a necessary tool for constructing a social-historic context for the Iliad and the Odyssey. As an example, the hypothesis of a gradual crystallization of these two epics is discussed and rejected. Keywords: epic; genre discussion; oral-formulaic theory; fieldwork; comparative models; Homer 1.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Works by John Miles Foley
    This article belongs to a special issue of Oral Tradition published in honor of John Miles Foley’s 65th birthday and 2011 retirement. The surprise Festschrift, guest-edited by Lori and Scott Garner entirely without his knowledge, celebrates John’s tremendous impact on studies in oral tradition through a series of essays contributed by his students from the University of Missouri- Columbia (1979-present) and from NEH Summer Seminars that he has directed (1987-1996). http://journal.oraltradition.org/issues/26ii This page is intentionally left blank. Oral Tradition, 26/2 (2011): 677-724 Annotated Bibliography of Works by John Miles Foley Compiled by R. Scott Garner In 1985 John Miles Foley authored as his first book-length work Oral-Formulaic Theory and Research: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography. This volume, which provided an introduction to the field of study and over 1800 annotated entries, was later supplemented by updates published in Oral Tradition (and compiled by John himself, Lee Edgar Tyler, Juris Dilevko, and Catherine S. Quick [with the assistance of Patrick Gonder, Sarah Feeny, Amerina Engel, Sheril Hook, and Rosalinda Villalobos Lopez]) that served both to summarize and to provide reflection upon new developments in an area of scholarship that eventually became too vast and broadly evolved to be contained by any single bibliographic venture. Given that John’s own work was instrumental in effecting this sustained development—while also having importance in so many other areas of study as well—it seems only fitting to close the current volume with an annotated bibliography of John’s works up through the current point in time.

The project is written and produced by Jim Makichuk and directed by Shirley Petchprapa, and with a cast that has the interest of world-acclaimed four-time Academy Award Nominee Liv Ullman and Academy Award nominee Sally Kirkland. There is a strong possibility of another as-yet unnamed actress of Academy Award status expressing interest. The producer will also bring in several exceptional and well-known actors in cameo roles, whose interest in the material will bring an added quality to a film of this budget. After major festival exposure, which will enhance the project further, a limited theatrical release is anticipated, followed by ancillary markets including but not restricted to both US and International television and theatrical markets, internet subscribers, pay- for-view and DVD sales.

  • Article on Milman Parry's Research
    1 HOMER AND ORAL POETRY BY SPECIAL THANKS TO: THE YALE CLASSICS DEPARTMENT SARAH PRICE THE YALE ART GALLERY JOHN MATTHEWS Who was Homer? When did he live? Was there VICTOR BERS even a Homer? If so, did he write both the Iliad and the KAY CLAIBORN Odyssey? Although the Homeric Question has intrigued JOCK REYNOLDS scholars for millennia, many uncertainties remain about CHARLENE SENICAL the true authorship of the epics. In the past century, inquiry has focused on the role of oral composition in the creation of the Homeric texts. Theories of oral poetry composition were created through the observation of modern oral bards in pre-literate societies and applied to the Iliad and the Odyssey. The recent discovery of the prominent role of the oral tradi- tion in the Homeric texts does not, however, eliminate the role played by Homer; his inventiveness is a major part of what makes the epics shine. In the 1930s, Milman Parry (1902-1935) and Albert Lord (1912- 2001) first proposed the theory that the Homeric epics were composed orally. After studying the Iliad and A Yugoslavian Oral Poet the Odyssey, Parry was convinced The Milman Parry Collection that Homer’s poems were both traditional tales and cre- ative compositions, despite the apparent contradiction. But how could Homer have both inherited the songs and 1 2 HOMER AND ORAL POETRY written them himself? Parry answered the question, ap- plying what today is known as oral theory to the Homeric texts to explain epithets and parallelism. Many of the words in this debate have slightly un- usual connotations.
