Book Synopsis The Anatomy of a Folk Festival by : Laurie Kay Sommers
Download or read book The Anatomy of a Folk Festival written by Laurie Kay Sommers and published by . This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most justification for festival research and programming focuses on capturing or salvaging cultural diversity, folklorists are only just beginning to become reflexive about our own work and to engage in a systematic cultural critique of our assumptions and programmes. This volume is an exercise in reflexivity which grew out of the Michigan Programme at the 1987 Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife. The Michigan Programme is an interesting case study not only because festival is one of the most debated and large-scale public sector products, but also because this particular festival represents a unique confluence of events; a state programme within one of the nation's most influential folklife festivals, which led to an ongoing state folklife festival in Michigan, studied by a team of Indiana University folklorists through a pioneering ethnography of the participant experience. CONTENTS INCLUDE: A Short History of American Folklife and Michigan's Contribution to Smithsonian Practice; An Ethnography of Participant Experience; The Festival of American Folklife and the Festival of Michigan Folklife: Catalysts for Cultural Conservation and Preservation.

Book Synopsis The Anatomy of Polish Offensive Words by : Łukasz Zarzycki
Download or read book The Anatomy of Polish Offensive Words written by Łukasz Zarzycki and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swearing plays an important role in everyday language. We swear in the streets, at school, universities, at work and at home, on the means of transport, with family and friends. People have used swear words for centuries and they will continue to use them. The Anatomy of Polish Offensive Words examines offensive and vulgar language of young Poles in their everyday life including its forms, uses, manifestations and the ways in which people censor their words and sentences. The book presents a novel viewpoint on people’s psyche since we observe how society reacts to other humans so as to impose taboos by censoring Polish language. This book is the first book written in English on Polish swearing intended for the international reader (both linguists and non-linguists) who can benefit from it. It offers an intriguing look into Polish swear words, their classification in terms of offensiveness both from the perspective of quantitative and qualitative research but also from the AI (Artificial Intelligence) viewpoint. Mixed methods research, i.e., a questionnaire-based study and a corpus-based study, makes the research original. The findings deepen our understanding of swearing and its role in language.

Download or read book I Got a Song written by Rick Massimo and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length history of an essential American music festival The first-ever book exclusively devoted to the history of the Newport Folk Festival, I Got a Song documents the trajectory of an American musical institution that began more than a half-century ago and continues to influence our understanding of folk music today. Rick Massimo's research is complemented by extensive interviews with the people who were there and who made it all happen: the festival's producers, some of its biggest stars, and people who huddled in the fields to witness moments—like Bob Dylan's famous electric performance in 1965—that live on in musical history. As folk has evolved over the decades, absorbing influences from rock, traditional music and the singer-songwriters of the '60s and '70s, the Newport Folk Festival has once again become a gathering point for young performers and fans. I Got a Song tells the stories, small and large, of several generations of American folk music enthusiasts. Hardcover is un-jacketed.

Book Synopsis Folk Festivals by : Mary Master Needham
Download or read book Folk Festivals written by Mary Master Needham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Festivals: Their Growth and How to Give Them It is with the hope that this fruit of my own experiences may inspire others to blaze trails, that I send out Folk Festivals. Not in any way does it aim to be exhaustive. Rather the mate rial has been chosen with the idea that it may create a desire to give festivals, and at the same time furnish a working basis for them. Because I firmly believe that the value of this move ment must be in its research, its spontaneity, and its creativeness, I have so limited the material. At the same time I have tried to make the book practical for those who are pioneers both in their interest and in their work on festivals.

Book Synopsis Choreographing Identities by : Anthony Shay
Download or read book Choreographing Identities written by Anthony Shay and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its history, the United States has become a new home for thousands of immigrants, all of whom have brought their own traditions and expressions of ethnicity. Not least among these customs are folk dances, which over time have become visual representations of cultural identity. Naturally, however, these dances have not existed in a vacuum. They have changed--in part as a response to ever-changing social identities, and in part as a reaction to deliberate manipulations by those within as well as outside of a particular culture. Compiled in great part from the author's own personal dance experience, this volume looks at how various cultures use dance as a visual representation of their identity, and how "traditional" dances change over time. It discusses several "parallel layers" of dance: dances performed at intra-cultural social occasions, dances used for representation or presentation, and folk dance performances. Individual chapters center on various immigrant cultures. Chiefly the work focuses on cultural representation and how it is sometimes manipulated. Key folk dance festivals in the United States and Canada are reviewed. Interviews with dancers, teachers, and others offer a first-hand perspective. An extensive bibliography encompasses concert programs and reviews as well as broader scholarly sources.
