内容説明
Oral literature, oral tradition, verbal folklore, folk literature, oral performance, popular culture - these areas of human communication and performance are now attracting increasing attention from social anthropologists. Designed as a guide both to the practicalities of fieldwork and to the range of methods by which oral texts and performance can be observed, collected or analysed, "Oral Traditions and the Verbal Arts" takes the reader through all the stages of preparing for, conducting, and following up research. Particular emphasis is laid on the recent interdisciplinary work on performance, on the "processes" involved in the creation and analysis of texts, and on related ethical issues. The book is distinctive in its comparative perspective, with examples taken from both historical and modern cultures, ranging from African and South Pacific forms to those from contemporary Europe. Theoretical controversies about approach and terminology are clarified, and a full and up-to-date bibliography is included. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of anthropology, cultural studies, folklore, oral literature, general readers.

内容説明
The study of oral traditions and verbal arts leads into an area of human culture to which anthropologists are increasingly turning their attention. Oral Traditions and the Verbal Arts provides up-to-date guidance on how to approach the study of oral form and their performances, treating both the practicalities of fieldwork and the methods by which oral texts and performances can be observed, collected or analysed. It also relates to those current controversies about the nature of performance and of 'text'.
Designed as a practical and systematic introduction to the processes and problems of researching in this area, this is an invaluable guide for students, and lecturers of anthropology and cultural studies and also for general readers who are interested in enjoying oral literature for its own sake.
