Abstract

Abstract:This interview with Robert Cancel focuses on folklore studies of Africa since the 1970s. The interview indicates that the study of African oral tradition in the 1970s and early eighties revolved around a type of structuralism that eventually became known as performance theory, which was inspired by theories of cinema coming out of the French New Wave and the American new critics. Yet, African folklore studies remained firmly grounded in the contributions of Continental Folklorists, the Finnish Folklore Fellows, and the motif-tale-type theory as well as Russian formalism.

摘要：Robert Cancel的访谈聚焦于20世纪70年代以来非洲的民俗学研究。采访表明，20世纪70年代和80年代初对非洲口头传统的研究围绕着一种结构主义展开，这种结构主义最终被称为表演理论，其灵感来自法国新浪潮和美国新评论家的电影理论。然而，非洲民俗学研究仍然坚定地建立在大陆民俗学家、芬兰民俗研究员、主题故事类型理论以及俄罗斯形式主义的贡献之上。
