  14. I've updated my thesis title - probably not for the last time but I like it for now:

    Hegemony and counter-hegemony in the Scottish Folk Revival: a critical folklore study of 'Gramsci in action'

    Shit, sounds real.

  15. 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 #Berlioz
