Doing so suggests how folkloristics and media studies have moved in parallel ways in questioning com-monsense definitions of core disciplinary concepts and in examining how folkloric and mediatized subjects and objects are produced. Two examples scrutinize these processes from opposite directions: A reexamination of the Kinder-und Hausmärchen analyzes the Brothers Grimm's methods not in terms of their ability to mirror features of oral narratives but as creating authoritative practices for mediatizing tradition. The second examines how public health officials, medical researchers, epidemiologists, journalists, and laypersons collaborated in producing the \"swine flu pandemic\" narrative in just twenty-four hours in 2009. While the Grimms made traditionalization and mediatization seem to go together hand-in-glove, the H1N1 virus was mediatized as new, even as the narrative was traditionalized. The conclusion points to the productivity of rejecting reified notions of folklore and \"the media\" in favor of examining particular ways that traditionalization and mediatization intersect, both as analytic tools and as real-world processes.","PeriodicalId":44620,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE RESEARCH","volume":"57 1","pages":"117 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43453239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current explanations for these negative views remain incomplete, for the most part ignoring the narratives that both reflect and create these views. General characteristics of narrative performance coupled with specific situational contexts, performance contexts, and stereotypes related to welfare, have contributed to this skewed perspective. Analysis of the oral vernacular tradition further suggests that welfare stories are ideologically predisposed to favor negative views, not least of which because of the dominance of eyewitness accounts that require narrators to establish a binary of us vs. them and fill in narrative gaps with cultural stereotypes and assumptions. An antidote to this ideological bias can be found in the same narrative tradition by shifting from reliance on legends and purported eyewitness accounts to the stories told by aid recipients and providers and sharing them strategically with the help of current research in folklore, communications, and psychology. By attending to narratives that reflect lived experience, advocacy does not require a departure from the data, but rather a reinvestment in it.","PeriodicalId":44620,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE RESEARCH","volume":"57 1","pages":"1 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45673599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heritage is both a phenomenon in the world that folklorists think about and a concept that we think with. In this article we build on classic and recent work, presenting an ideal type model of heritage that locates it within the flow of time and in relationship to other modes of culture—particularly innovation and normative culture or, in a somewhat different framework, habitus. The heuristic offered emphasizes the different degrees of metacultural salience characteristic of a cultural form in a particular social, cultural, and historical context and aims to supplement critical perspectives that are particularly focused on formal heritage policies.Abstract:Seit den 1990er Jahren wird das Konzept Kulturerbe in den volkskundlichen Kulturwissenschaften zuneh-mend reflektiert. Der Begriff ist zentral für heutige Theorie- und Policy-Debatten im Fach: Kulturerbe ist sowohl ein Phänomen über das als auch ein Konzept mit dem KulturwissenschaftlerInnen nachdenken. In diesem Artikel entwerfen wir, aufbauend auf klassischen und aktuellen Studien, ein idealtypisches Modell von Kulturerbe, welches Kulturerbe zeitlich und in Relation zu anderen kulturalen Modi anordnet—insbesondere zu Innovation und kulturellen Normen (in anderer theoretischer Lesart auch Habitus). Die vorgeschlagene Heuristik betont den metakulturellen Charakter einer kulturellen Form und die unterschiedlichen Grade der Bewusstheit in einem bestimmten sozialen, kulturellen und historischen Kontext und möchte kritische Perspektiven auf Kulturerbe-Politiken ergänzen.Abstract:自20世纪90年代以来，民俗学者对遗产概念的使用变得更具思考性，现在这一术语已经成为我们理论和政策辩论的焦点。遗产即是民俗学者思考的全球现象，也是我们用于思考的一个概念。本文以经典研究和近期成果为基础，提出一个遗产的理想型模型。该模型把遗产置于时间之流中和与其他文化模式的关系之中，特别是与创新和惯常文化的关系之中，惯常文化在某种不同的框架里也被称为惯习。本文的启发性在于强调在特定社会、文化和历史语境中文化形式的元文化程度是不同的，本文也意在补充那些侧重于官方遗产政策的批判性观点。","PeriodicalId":44620,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE RESEARCH","volume":"57 1","pages":"111 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46456322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the wedding was Eurowestern in many aspects, it also included many “traditional” elements of the Owambo people. In particular, Geingos’s wedding dress alluded to the contested traditional dress of the Owambo—the oshikutu sheenhulo. This paper explores the ideological and political significance of both dresses in a nationalist context in contemporary Namibia. More specifically, I elucidate the controversy surrounding the oshikutu sheenulo in order to speak to the symbolic implications of First Lady Geingos’s wedding dress. This article demonstrates how the first lady’s dress—in its melding of the traditional and the modern, the ethnic and the national—speaks to the cultural and political tensions inherent in the articulation and performance of national identity in contemporary Namibia. Furthermore, I argue that both the oshikutu sheenhulo and the first lady’s dress evince a distinct Owambo and Namibian visual aesthetic, and that both dresses are examples of Namibian modernity, as they function within the context of national representation and nation building.","PeriodicalId":44620,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE RESEARCH","volume":"57 1","pages":"109 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41790088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I consider three recent albums released by Polish traditional music revivalists and examine how audio-engineering practices create and perpetuate socially constructed notions of authenticity based in real or sonically produced connections to the rural past. Each album illustrates a different strategy of sonically suggesting and reproducing the music’s traditional authenticity by 1) adding ambient environmental sounds, 2) creating mechanical audio distortions, and 3) incorporating archival recordings of past performers. These sound-engineering practices buck long-established aesthetic standards of high-fidelity sound in order to perpetuate revivalists’ definition of authenticity as based on a real or perceived connection to pre-1950s, rural Poland. As a case study, Polish revivalist albums confirm the spatial and temporal basis of authenticity discourse in revivalist ideology and illustrate the ideology’s flexibility in adapting to changing audio technologies. Furthermore, I suggest that sound-engineering practices can help revivalist movements’ transition from a salvage mode of activism that preserves endangered musics to a living, dynamic mode that embraces change as a central element of traditions’ social continuity and future viability.","PeriodicalId":44620,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE RESEARCH","volume":"57 1","pages":"33 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45867931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
