#Folkloristics
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklor...
#FolkloreStudies (also known as folkloristics and, in the United Kingdom, as #TraditionStudies or #FolkLife Studies) is the #interdisciplinary field within #CulturalAnthropology that examines the creation, performance, and preservation of #folklore.

"In addition to my own #scholarship and #teaching on #Jewish #folklore, I also proudly serve as the co-chair of the #American Folklore Society’s #JewishFolklore and #Ethnology Section and as an associate editor of the #academic journal Jewish Folklore and Ethnology. My work, like that of my colleagues, depends on engagement with communities, with #archives, and with #scholars across borders.
It is precisely that kind of engagement that is now under threat.
Within #folkloristics, #ethnomusicology examines music as a form of cultural knowledge and expression, a way of understanding identity, history, and society. Recently, the group Music Scholars for #Palestine has pushed for the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM) to adopt a resolution aligned with the #Palestinian Campaign for the #Academic and #Cultural #Boycott of #Israel (#BDS)."

An excellent and wonderful colleague (she's not on here, but I'll namecheck her because her stuff's great - Tina Paphitis) has just sent the link to this Marburg Journal of Religion special issue on 'Fieldwork in Folkloristics and the Study of Religions: An Interdisciplinary Introduction'. It looks pretty much essential.

Well, this now exists in hard copy and I'm very excited. The rest of the issue looks good, too.
My article is Open Access, but even so you should consider joining @folkloresociety to support its publication.

This is perhaps a rather niche little article on the history of #folklore and #folkloristics, but it's been so long in the making (for some not great reasons) that I'm inordinately proud to see it out at last. Seriously, its long journey started on Kalevala Day 2013...

Delighted that this is now published (open access) in TFH: The Journal of Folklore and History. It started life as a 90th birthday present for the great Jacqueline Simpson, and hopefully hasn't lost too much of the spirit that motivated it in the first place.

This is a great loss to the #folklore world. #GillianBennett was one of the towering figures of the discipline, and her work remains essential and accessible.
During my PhD, one of my informants told me he'd read a brilliant book on belief but couldn't remember the title offhand. I got home to his email asking 'Gillian Bennett's Traditions of Belief - do you know it?' Yes, I did (I've all but worn my copy smooth), and I admired his taste.
I was struck at the recent AFS conference just how many eminent US scholars wanted to talk about British #folkloristics and specifically asked after Gillian.
I never met her in person, but we worked closely together on a #FolkloreSociety award judging panel. She was typically brilliant and insightful, but wholly supportive and welcoming. I treasure a copy of 100 Best British Ghost Stories that she randomly and kindly sent me on publication.
My thoughts are with her family.

I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.
#folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.
I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror
Other important things:
#surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #BerliozLive on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.

This page of curated lists of #academics on Mastodon, links to groups and discipline specific instances/communities is incredibly helpful and worth bookmarking.
It throws up a familiar problem. #Folklore, as my wonderful MA tutor Julia Bishop put it, is something of a disciplinary Golden Child, at the margins/interstices of other disciplines, which has tended to marginalise its institutional position.
I'm not surprised, then, that there isn't a dedicated list for #folklorists or a #folkloristics-based instance. I'm quite comfortable with knowing that we're out there, getting on with our stuff, in other departments. But hooking up, seeing each other - that'd be a good thing too.

Yes! First sighting of HT #folkloristics! As a British #folklorist it's not a word I've adopted/taken to in any big way, although I do use it for clarity, but it's a useful marker/identifier for #folklore scholars here, I think.

@anthropology @jeremykendal see Sustaining Interdisciplinary Collaboration: A Guide for the Academy. It’s a guide but in the form of, and based in, ethnography. It’s exactly what you’re asking for, I think. https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p082375 #ethnology #anthropology #folkloristics #politicalscience
