{"title":"Out of State","authors":"Katy Clune","doi":"10.5406/15351882.136.540.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/15351882.136.540.23","url":null,"abstract":"What role can traditional culture play in making a home out of a prison or in gaining a sense of self strong enough to guide one through life's most difficult circumstances? The quiet documentary Out of State offers a memorable exploration of these questions and prompts its viewers to consider how cultural expression fits into the hierarchy of needs we each require to live well.Out of State1 was conceived and directed by Native Hawaiian filmmaker Ciara Lacy in 2017. Lacy received the Sundance Institute's inaugural Merata Mita Fellowship (named in honor of the late Māori filmmaker), designed to support women-identifying Indigenous filmmakers in directing a feature-length film. The production team and budget were small. Lacy's cousin Beau Bassett—previously a deputy public defender—served as co-producer. Because of prison restrictions, recording equipment was largely limited to one camera and one lens, deftly managed by cinematographer Chapin Hall. As a result, Out of State provides a surprisingly intimate portrait of David and Hale (pronounced Hahl-eh), two individuals imprisoned at Saguaro Correctional Facility in Eloy, Arizona, as they navigate the transition from incarceration to independence.We are introduced to David and Hale as they sweat alongside 20 or 30 other imprisoned individuals in Saguaro's open yard, with a chain link and barbed wire fence as their backdrop. They are practicing ‘ai ha'a, a hula step with bended knees and bombastic chanting—a dance of power and respect performed as part of Makahiki (New Year) celebrations. The men have shed their khaki uniforms, revealing tattoos on bare chests above exercise shorts or malo (loincloths). They sweat under the desert sun, moving together with strength in a collective shedding of their temporary prison identities. Without an audience, they dance for themselves and for each other. Stomping and chanting in sync, losing themselves in the motion, provides momentary escape, a sense of self that ties them to home. “Every dance I do with these guys and every time I come to this place, it takes me away,” explains Kalani. The cultural knowledge learned inside Saguaro is precious, perhaps most visibly so when we see Kalani, an alaka'i (teacher, guide) who is serving a life sentence, flipping through his notebook full of rows and rows of hand-drawn figures spelling out choreography.Prisons in Hawaii are overcrowded, and Native Hawaiians make up the majority of the prison population, despite being only 24 percent of the population of the islands. This figure is from “The Disparate Treatment of Native Hawaiians in the Criminal Justice System,” a report commissioned by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in 2010, which also states that the number of people incarcerated has grown by 900 percent since 1977. Much of this increase is because of mandatory minimum sentencing for crystal methamphetamine (meth) offenses. Hawaii is among the states hardest hit by the drug; in the early 2000s, it had the highest pe","PeriodicalId":46681,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135673411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demir","doi":"10.5406/15351882.136.540.01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/15351882.136.540.01","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Significant numbers of ethnographic studies from different parts of the world emphasize lament as a women’s genre, with cross-cultural analyses indicating that women predominate among the genre’s performers. These performances are often signified by ritual wailing, but researchers typically overlook how the genre is given ritual form through mundane activities in everyday life. Everyday experience and ritual experience are often cast as contradictory. Everyday speech and poetic discourse have been mainly separated in the literature. Rather than positing two distinct selves opposed to each other in everyday speech and in performance, it makes more sense to argue that the poetic self may contain contradictory statements. Focusing on the women’s performance practices in Dersim, a region in eastern Turkey, where Zazaki- and Kurdish-speaking Alevis live, I consider how classification of genres relates to gender and power. Rather than associating the possibility of raising one’s voice with resisting the social order, I attempt to explore the genre’s contextualization process and its connections to women’s agency.","PeriodicalId":46681,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE","volume":"136 1","pages":"131 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43670674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While Asian Americans and their folklore were not included in the goals of AFS, there was a voice to consider the Chinese American customs as part of American folklore even in 1890. The fact, however, is that in the first 60 years of JAF, there was no publication by an Asian American folklorist in today’s sense. So, where were and are Asian American folklorists? How do we understand the invisibility, untellability, and absence of Asian American folklorists in American folklore studies? This essay addresses these questions by revisiting some publications in the first decade of JAF and engaging with some current discourse on folkloristic reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":46681,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE","volume":"136 1","pages":"199 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48513972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
