  • APPLIED FOLKLORE Richard M Dorson Three Senses of Applied Folklore Seem to Be Currently in the Air. One Considers That Folk Wisd
    APPLIED FOLKLORE Richard M Dorson Three senses of applied folklore seem to be currently in the air. One considers that folk wisdom and folk krow-how can be culled out from the mass of folklore tradition and put to use, i.e. applied, in the sophisti- cated culture. An example would be the utilization by modern medical * science of time-honored folk remedies or recipes that actually work. A second is the application of folklore concepts and content to teaching and research in other fields. The folklorist "applies" his stock of know- ledge to illuminate, say, arid stretches of history. The third sense has to do with ;;he obligation of the folklorist to ameliorate the lot of the folk. This is the sense in which applied folklore is invoked in the de- bate now underway between activists who feel a strong twinge of guilt at making, if not fame and fortune, at least some reputation and professional recognition out of the folk whose lore they extract and publish, and ivory- tower do-,lothing scholars like myself. The twinge of social conscience and impulse to contribute one's expertise for the betterment of underprivileged man are certainly commendable. One scholarly discipline after another -- sociologg;, political science, anthro- pology -- has agonized over applied versus pure research, and it is inevit- able that folklorists, working so closely to the grass roots, should suffer the same recriminations and respond to the same idealisms. I contend that it is no business of the folklorist to engage in social reform, that he is unequipped to reshape institutions, and that he will become the poorer scholar and folklorist if he turns activist.

  • Toward Critical Theory for Public Folklore: an Annotated Bibliography
    Toward Critical Theory for Public Folklore: An Annotated Bibliography Timothy H. Evans Western Kentucky University CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by IUScholarWorks Philosophers have interpreted the world in various ways, but the task is to change it. -Karl Marx Preface The development of theory has been a key issue in public folklore in recent years, and, in particular, has characterized the interaction of public and academic folklore. Should public folklore be an application of academic theories to the public realm? Should public folklore develop its own theories, or its own single unifying theory? Should public folklore theory rise out of practice? Should public folklore eschew theory? In the theorizing carried out by academics, rarely does theory itself- its nature and uses-become the focus. Raymond Williams traces the word "theory" to the seventeenth century, where it meant something like "speculation," or a system of ideas. Williams points out that, even at that date, the concept of theory was inseparable from the concept of practice (1976:266). Praxis, a term that also goes back to the seventeenth century, implies the inseparable link between theory and practice; each must be constantly informed by the other. This point has been made many times by public folklorists, from B. A. Botkin to Archie Green to Robert Baron. Turning to the concept of public folklore, there are three closely related usages that are not always distinguished from each other: 1. "Public sector folklore" refers to programs that are housed in public institutions at the federal, state, or local levels.

  • Academic and Applied Folklore: Partners for the Future
    ACADEMIC AND APPLIED FOLKLORE: PARTNERS FOR THE FUTURE Lynwood Monte11 It is my privilege to address the question of the future of folklore studies in the United States. I am aware that this issue could be approached in a variety of ways. I could focus, for instance, on the direction that folkloristic theory seems to be taking, on the relationships between folklore studies and other academic disci- plines, or on the research topics that seem to hold the most promise for folklorists. To take any of these tacks, however, would mean restrict- ing myself to folklore studies as they exist sole- ly within the academic realm. What I would like to do instead is to broaden my remarks to discuss the future of ther discipline in other arenas as well. Thus, the general thrust of what I have to say is how folklorists can best use their talents and training in the years to come both within and outside the academic environment. Before I begin, however, I would like to take a retrospective look at folklore studies ac Indiana University and reminisce about my own days as an IU graduate student from 1960 to 1963. Fellow students with me at Indiana University at one time or another during those years were a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears aspiring folklor- ists with such names as Edward Ives, Jan Brunvand, Kichard Bauman, Ellen Stekert , Dan Ben-Amos , Alan Dundes, Robert Georges, iioderick Roberts, Bruce Buckley, Frank Hoffman, Judith McCulloch. George Carey, the two Robert Adamses, Elli [Congas-Marandq Neil Rosenberg, Gladys-Marie Fry, Hasan El-Shamy, and Barbro Klein, among a host of others.
