A Definition of olklorF e: A Personal Narrative Abstract My definition of folklore as "artistic communication in small groups" was forged in the context of folklore studies of the 1960s, in the discontent with the definitions that were current at the time, and under the influence of anthropology, linguistics - particularly 'the ethnography of speaking' - and Russian formalism. My field esearr ch among the Edo people of Nigeria had a formative impact upon my conception of folklore, when I observed their storytellers, singers, dancers and diviners in performance. The response to the definition was initially negative, or at best ambivalent, but as time passed, it took a more positive turn. Keywords context, communication, definition, performance,

  • FOLKLORE I N the MASS MEDIA Priscilla Denby Folklore Institute Indiana University As the Accompanying Cartoon (See Appendix ) Su
    FOLKLORE IN THE MASS MEDIA Priscilla Denby Folklore Institute Indiana University As the accompanying cartoon (see Appendix ) suggests ,l the disclosure of the powerful phenomenon known as the "media" in contemporary society is analogous to the opening of Pandora's box. It would seem that the media, a relatively new societal force, has literally "sprung up, It full-grown, in some mysterious fashion to the surprise and bewilderment of many -- and the consternation of a few -- and become a dominant influence in our cul- ture. Moreover, in keeping with the mythological analogy, it may be safe to assume that the artist equates the media with the societal ills which were released st the touch of Pandora's hand. Whether the media is indeed a general evil in present-day American society is debatable; what is to be briefly discussed here, however, is its effect upon, and how it is affected by, folklore. Based upon the small sampling of data collected in this study, I would tentatively hold that the media's influence upon and use of folklore has undergone a great change. In the 1920's and 1930's when American society seemed to be in need of some kind of folk image as a means of self-definition and identification, the media graciously obliged; the result was a virtual inundation of the "fakelore" typified by the "folk hero" tradition of a Paul Bunyan or a Johnny Appleseed. Today such figures still inhabit the media. Yet as far as I can tell, contemporary media is less cmcerned with the invention and promulgation of non-traditional lore and more concerned with traditional texts used in various contexts.

Once upon a time before words were written, before cultures and societies were observed and analyzed there was storytelling. Storytelling has been a part of humanity since people were able to communicate and respond to the basic biological urge to explain, educate and enlighten. Cave drawings, traditional dances, poems, songs, and chants are all examples of early storytelling. Stories pass on historical, cultural, and moral information and provide escape and relief from the everyday struggle to survive. Storytelling takes place in all cultures in a variety of different forms. Studying these forms requires an interdisciplinary approach involving anthropology, psychology, linguistics, history, library science, theater, media studies and other related disciplines. New technologies and new approaches have brought about a renewed interest in the varied aspects and elements of storytelling, broadening our understanding and appreciation of its complexity. What is Storytelling? Defining storytelling is not a simple matter. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, professional and amateur storytellers, and members of the communities where the stories dwell have not come to a consensus on what defines storytelling.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England

To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Poster Sets’ in the Early 1900S
    Fakelore to Folklore, Part 3, ‘Poster Sets’ in the early 1900s Peter Ellis In this section I’m going to deviate a little from the music and the actual dances to the ‘Folklife’ side, but it is still connected with quadrilles such as the Lancers which was one dance and music example singled out in the previous chapters. Around the turn of the previous century and through into the 1920s it became pop- ular to have ‘Poster Sets’. At fashionable balls in Australia sets of four or even eight couples would be supplied with costumes and themes as a marketing promotion, I guess, for various forms of produce, business and so on. I imagine such society ‘do’s’ with commercial promotion may not be regarded today as truly folklife. How- ever they certainly did catalyse copying the theme into folklife as will be evident in several of the Figures below on fancy dress sets in the bush. The sets wearing these costumes would be judged on their dancing ability in the Lancers or First Set, Alberts, Waltz Cotillion etc. as well as the costume concept and the winning set would be awarded trophies or prizes. The latest flashlight pho- tography provided opportunity for many of the couples to have snaps taken for their personal memorabilia and perhaps even publication in the local paper or magazine. Here are a number of such ‘Poster Sets’ Fig.s 1 - 3 from the Leader taken the late Frank Cusack. Fig. 1. The Co-operative Coupon Co. poster set. This depicts a double set of eight couples so that the Quadrille or First Set (or in the Royal Irish form) would lend itself for dancing tops and sides as couples in doubles with their opposites.

  • Folklore and Contemporary Mass Media: an Assessment with Special Reference to Sri Lanka
    231 Folklore and Contemporary Mass Media: An Assessment with Special Reference to Sri Lanka Darshana Liyanage Abstract The terms “Folk” and “mass” are considered to be categorically opposite. Although it is said that the folk ceased to exist when the mass arises, the return of folklore in mass media tells a different story. On the topic of the relation between folklore and mass media in contemporary societies three terms that have been in use in folklore scholarship can be identified, namely: „fakelore‟, „folklure‟ and „folklorismus‟ In spite of the differences among them, the terminology reveals that both media studies and folklore studies have reached a meeting point of a shared phenomenon. In analyzing this new phenomenon and prominently challenging the idea of the death of the folklore in the age of mass media, in 1994, American folklorist Linda Dégh, described the complex coexistence between the two (Dégh 1994). This paper is intended to examine the relation between folklore and mass media in contemporary Sri Lanka, mainly deploying Dégh‟s theoretical perspective. A sample of media materials that significantly exemplify this complex coexistence will be analyzed and tested against the hypothesis: “mass media and folklore in contemporary Sri Lanka are in convergence of a complex process of telling and re-telling creating new sites of mass/folk lore”. Key Words: Folk, Mass, Films, TV commercials, TV serials Running Head: FOLKLORE AND MASS MEDIA IN SRI LANKA 232 Introduction Three terms are in vogue to explain the relationship between folklore and mass media in folklore scholarship: „fakelore‟, „folklure‟ and „folklorismus‟.

  • Negotiating Tradition Insights Into Positions, Strategies, and Perspectives Pertaining to Cultural Property
    ommunicative interactions in international negotiations on cultural proper- 4 ty not only provide information about the emergence and proliferation of arguments,C rhetorics, and registers, but also permit valuable insights into actors’ positions, strategies and alliances. They signifi cantly infl uence local and national practices and views related to cultural property debates. What can be gained from a deep analysis of the communicative patterns and strategies that actors engage in – the entailing text and talk of negotiations – is a better understanding of the process itself: how do different actors argue, what kind of strategies and rhetorics do they use, to which instruments and institutions do they refer, and in what way do actors react to each other? An analysis of communicative interactions contributes to the question of how international negotiations work. The analytic inclusion of sociolinguistic practices allows Negotiating Tradition insights into positions, strategies, and perspectives pertaining to cultural property. By looking at not only what actors say, but also at how and in what contexts they do so, it is possible to make more accurate statements about their positions and perceptions in cultural property debates.
