This course will introduce you to key elements in the study of Ethnology and Folklore.
This course is divided into three thematic strands: history and development of the disciplines, fieldwork and archival training and practice, and customs and belief. Central issues such as reflexivity, identity, ethics, and gender, are covered to give students an up-to-date picture of contemporary developments.
Throughout the term, lecture-seminars provide a broad-based understanding of how the study of Ethnology and Folklore evolved in response to research interests and needs. The literature surveyed will explore the history of the disciplines, how they have begun to converge in recent years, and their approaches to the core genres of study – language, ballad and song, dance, instrumental music, narrative, vernacular literature, vernacular medicine, custom and belief, and material culture – that are addressed in more detail in EF5501.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
