As these teaching methods occurred from thousands of years ago up to very recently, it is argued that child-related practices connected with the bio-cultural domain and arising out of human-biota interaction have noticeably transcended time and societal changes.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/04308778.2019.1646390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45655700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The syncretic melding of disparate strands has also formed an indigenous, cosmopolitan cultural identity in the North Aegean Sea islands, comprising Lesbos, Limnos, Ai Stratis, Chios, Oinousses, Psara, Samos, Ikaria and Fourni. Identity emerges from mythical and historical events, including indigenous Greek, Oriental and Western ethnic materials of continental and island origins. Adopting an interdisciplinary methodology crossing historical ethnomusicology and musicology, cultural anthropology and the sociology of music, this paper presents results of ethnographic research into music and dance. It explores identity formation from the late nineteenth century to the present. It focuses on changes in musical practices, performance, education, repertoire and lifestyle. Centralizing policies emanating from Athens combined with social and technological changes mark transitions from local to European, from eastern to western style, providing a context for urbanization and westernization.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/04308778.2019.1646512","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44627152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a consideration of the musical backgrounds and interests of contemporary multicultural Georgians, I draw the conclusion that folk-fusion music, representing a synthesis of traditionalism and cosmopolitanism, may well provide the most representative musical expression of contemporary Georgian identity.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/04308778.2019.1656791","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48298644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article adds perspective to this question by examining the relationship of women’s voices to Southern Italian culture through the lens of the music and dance-based re-enactments of tarantismo. Though scholars have discussed this ritual for centuries, the vocal contributions of the tarantate—the women at the centre of the ceremony—are often undervalued in favour of more tangible objects and compositions, such as the surrounding instruments and traditional music repertoire. However, a more careful exploration of the ritual reveals the participation and importance of the tarantate to be more complex. Drawing on historical and ethnographic research from the province of Lecce, this article demonstrates that the female voice is an essential component to the soundscape of tarantismo and is central to concepts of heritage and identity for the people of Apulia.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/04308778.2019.1586093","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43288427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The brightest of minds and the most generous of spirits, he was a ‘Manninagh dooie’, a true Manxman. Born in Douglas, Isle of Man on 6 September 1936, Brian attended Murray’s Road and Douglas High School, where he excelled academically. It was at school that he first became interested in Manx, having read an article by Doug Fargher in January 1953 which talked about how the language was being abandoned and which inspired Brian to start learning. Brian recalled the strong discrimination against Manx at the time, particularly from older Manx people, who associated it with poverty and inferiority. Undeterred, he joined Fargher and others who were collecting recordings of the then few remaining native Manx speakers. His weekends were filled with long hours of the spoken language, and after about 9 months, he felt he could speak it relatively fluently. The main part of Brian’s working life was spent with physics, which he first studied at the University of Liverpool. After graduation, he worked as a school teacher, which he hated, leaving after 2 years for a post at the UK Atomic Energy Authority at Capenhurst in Cheshire. He later taught at Liverpool Polytechnic, where he gained a doctorate in applied physics and became head of department. At one time, he kept sensitive notes about his research in Manx, in the knowledge that he was the only person in the world who could understand them fully. During his time on Merseyside, he felt he never left the Isle of Man, as he kept in contact with friends, and continued speaking the language and contributing to cultural life. He spoke and taught Irish in Liverpool, again in the face of great prejudice. It was in Liverpool, too, that he met and inspired Manx students Phil Gawne and Adrian Cain, both of whom continue to play an active role in the Manx language community, mainly through their role as Manx Language Development Officer for the Manx Heritage Foundation, now Culture Vannin, on whose board Brian would later sit, and through the work of Mooinjer Veggey. Brian was someone who wore his learning lightly, whose modesty only engendered deeper respect for his skill, knowledge and talent. Described by family and friends as a strong, independent-minded person, his rebellious character was accompanied by a great sense of humour.

The precarity of the fisherman’s trade is a central focus of this chapter and it comes as little surprise that the concept of danger is posited as one of the key reasons for the persistence of name avoidance practices over hundreds of years: ‘In the acutely unpredictable environment of the fisherman’s workplace, care must be taken not to upset the delicate balance of things, and avoidance was therefore the order of the day in the case of anything which might be suspect’ (240). The function of these practices is further elaborated in Chapter 6, ‘The naming-prohibitions and euphemisms at work’, in which the author examines the purpose served by the name avoidances by interpreting their role as ‘confidence builders and coping mechanisms’, as a means for encouraging focus and mental alertness while at sea, and as cultural markers of group identity (291–300). Cold Iron is an informed and insightful analysis of a previously under-researched topic in Irish folklore and it is sure to become a contemporary classic in Irish folklore studies and further afield.

Ethnography indicates a highly developed understanding of natural materials and ecologies, considerable practical knowledge, significant technical skill in the rich variety of the types of earth used, a wealth of construction techniques, and a precise, extensive terminology in two languages. Despite its past importance and viability in building, earth is predominantly a devalued and forgotten construction material in Ireland today. Identity is aligned with building in stone, the whitewashed single-storey thatch-roof dwelling house providing the most striking example. This paper explores the use of earth in roof making, and aims to rehabilitate awareness in relation to earth-building practices in Ireland. These include roofing with earth-sod parings, turf and sod walling, the employment of tempered clay in walling, and the use of earth in flooring.","PeriodicalId":51989,"journal":{"name":"Folk Life-Journal of Ethnological Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/04308778.2019.1592936","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46909909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
