Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] Fw: Anthropology and Folklore
Call for papers - Anthropology and Folklore. A one-day seminar organized
jointly by the RAI and the Folklore Society
8th October 2015
The relationship between anthropology and folklore is one that has
fascinated researchers for more than a century. In the years before the
Great War, this was illustrated in concrete fashion by the very close links
which obtained between the Folklore Society and the RAI, so much so that
many members of Council were Fellows of both institutions, and for some
years we even shared a building. Institutionally, a separation appears to
have emerged during the twentieth century as anthropology professionalized,
but the intellectual overlaps remain, all the more so in today's flexible,
multi-disciplinary environment.
On 8th October, our two societies will once again revisit this question. The
Folklore Society will provide three speakers, and the RAI three. Any Fellow
who would like to offer a paper in this connection is cordially invited to
submit a brief abstract and title to
[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
It should be emphasised that the topic may be treated very broadly, both
from the historical and disciplinary point of view. Possible references in
this regard are: Gazin-Schwartz and Holtorf Archaeology and Folklore
(Routledge 1999), or Marian W. Smith 'The Importance of Folklore Studies to
Anthropology (Folklore Vol 70, March 1959; 300-312). The Folklore Society
has also sent a link to a recent special issue of their journal, devoted to
this subject:
