This course is divided into three strands: ‘Perspectives on Tradition’, ‘Perspectives on Identity’, and ‘Perspectives on Fieldwork’. These three strands come together to show how concepts from the disciplines of Ethnology and Folklore may be theoretically and practically applied to contemporary society.
The ‘Tradition’ strand addresses conceptual approaches and ways of thinking about culture. ‘Identity’ examines, through historical narrative, language, media, and cultural tourism, what it means to be Scottish and/or to live in Scotland today. The ‘Advanced Fieldwork and Archiving’ strand introduces students to a range of specialist fieldwork methods and the theory behind them, giving training and practice in their use. There will be training in library and archive research, interviewing techniques, audio and video recording, radio editing, and related ethical concerns.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
