Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Contributions by Sheila Bock, Olivia Caldeira, Claudia Chiang-Frost, Cynthia Cox, Ann K. Ferrell, Kate Parker Horigan, Stewart Jobrack, Eleanor Paynter, James Phelan, Susan Ritchie, Martha C. Sims, Jasmine Stork, Sydney K. Varajon, and Jason Whitesel In Narrative Knows No Boundaries: Exploring the Claims and Limits of Telling, the contributors examine uses of clearly recognizable narratives, as well as narratives that are implied, assumed, or even absent because they are untellable. The essays in this collection apply key concepts from the work of acclaimed narrative scholar Amy Shuman to a broad array of narrative contexts. Since her first publications in the early 1980s, Shuman has been a much-cited force, not only within the realm of folklore studies (her home discipline), but also in a myriad of other fields, including narrative studies, critical theory, literacy studies, performance, disability studies, human rights and asylum, gender and feminist theory, and identity studies. In the tradition of Shumans work, and in honor of her encouragement to her students to push boundaries, the contributors to this volume illustrate varied ways of thinking about and approaching the study of narrative. The range of contexts considered here includes migrants, refugees, and farmers; storytelling in an indigenous community, on a true crime podcast, and during disaster; sexuality education with persons with disabilities and parenting a child with a disability; master narratives about fatness and asexuality in fanfiction; and Gothic literature and tattoos. The volumes organization emphasizes surprising connections between these subjects, grounded in concepts like narrative promises, entitlement, tellability, and hypervisibility.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, the US saw a growing awareness of representational politics following the civil rights, women's, gay and lesbian, anti-war, and environmental justice movements, and, like most fields, folklore became increasingly cognizant of these cultural and political shifts. The Soul of a Folklorist chronicles the growing pains folklorists felt as the field engaged in these new and different ways of thinking about expressive culture, inequality, and political representation. Grounded in primary sources including archival documents and interviews with members of the field, authors Ann K. Ferrell and Diane E. Goldstein examine the discussions that arose during this period among folklore scholars. Some folklorists explored progressive social change initiatives as part of their professional work, while others questioned the scholarly appropriateness of applied or political engagement, at times challenging this professional engagement in contemporary political issues. In a series of case studies from the 1970s and '80s, Ferrell and Goldstein explore how folklorists navigated questions about inequities that existed within the field and the potential adverse effects of those inequities on what and whom they studied, the push and pull of scholarly and public folklore work, the location of the line between research and advocacy as well as the wisdom of crossing that line, and the nature of our responsibility, as individual folklorists and as a field, to those we study and the communities in which we live and work. The Soul of a Folklorist examines how, as folklorists moved toward a perspective that increasingly explored the responsibility of presentation and representation of gender, race, class, and other areas of inequities, the discipline gradually came to understand both the power of its own subject and structures of subordination within the field.…
