We are the Folk: Rethinking Folklore in the Twenty-First Century


*We are the Folk: Rethinking Folklore in the Twenty-First Century, Lisbon,
22-24 October.*



*Call for papers until June 30th*
<http://ielt.org/investigacao/call-for-papers/1481>



Anthropologist and folklorist Alan Dundes would turn eighty this year.
Inspired by this date, the Instituto de Estudos de Literatura Tradicional
(IELT), at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, is organising an
international conference that will take his proclamation “Who are the folk?
Among others, we are!” at face value and explore its implications from a
wide range of disciplines, from science to humanities and the social
sciences, to the visual and performative arts, philosophy, and politics,
amongst others.

The manner in which folklorists study what they see as the creativity and
richness of the ways people put meaning in their existence has often been
taken as too static and decontextualized. The notion of “folklore” carries
profoundly contradictory meanings and connotations. In Portugal, it has
particularly been the case as a result of the interest in “popular culture”
for propaganda purposes associated with the *Estado Novo *regime.
Nonetheless, folklore’s appeal on the public is undeniable. Its presence in
everyday life takes on many forms and appears in the vitality and diversity
of social practices that call for renewed, less reductive approaches. This
conference wishes to confront different perspectives and terminologies
associated with the studies of culture, evaluating the practicality of the
concept of folklore, the multiplicity of its meanings and its capacity to
integrate interactions between traditional and contemporary expressions and
appropriations in particular social, cultural and historical contexts.

Drawing on the growing interest cultural heritage has raised in the public
sphere, and, simultaneously, on recent advances in the study of the uses of
culture and memory, it is crucial to rethink the concept of folklore as
well as the complexity of its manifestations and its impact on an
increasingly interdisciplinary and participatory research.

Keynote Speakers: Alison Dundes Renteln, Christian Bromberger, Jorge
Freitas Branco, Mário Correia, Pertti Anttonen e Tok Thompson.
