This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, Vol. 7: Popular Beliefs and Superstitions From North Carolina; 4874-8569 That the Ballads and Songs, both text and tunes, should 0c cupy four Of our seven volumes is natural and proper, for they have been a principal interest of collectors in the United States and Great Britain, although the music was until comparatively lately neglected. It is also right and proper that Dr. Hand's two volumes of Popular Beliefs and Superstitions should bring the Collection to its conclusion. For 'superstition' in all senses rep resents more closely and more widely than ballad singing the mind of the folk. Ballads are entertainment, superstitions are the folk mind itself. Two distinctions, moreover, are worth noting. The editing Of ballads and songs was necessarily the work Of specialists and conditioned by their special methods; whereas the superstitions and beliefs have come directly or indi rectly from the contributors and are left in their original form. The other is that these superstitions differ in degree and quality Of belief. We all have our private collection in which we believe, but not very seriously. Even the most untrained minds must qualify in some respects their adherence to this or that super stition and make of it a kind of game with themselves. Many Of these 'beliefs' call for a sense of humor and a measure of credulity in both informant and collector. While in print some of them may look trivial, they are all in fact a testimony of the immitigable vagaries, the anfractuosities, of the human mind. A real superstition is a belief you yourself do not share. What is truth? Said jesting Pilate, but the jest turned against him. Altogether these seven volumes comprise one of the largest and fullest collections covering the whole body Of folklore in a single work for any country or any region Of a country hitherto produced. All who contributed to it are to be congratulated - the hundreds Of informants who in the first instance made the work possible; the zeal Of Dr. Brown and the industry Of Dr. White in organization; the various Associate Editors; Duke Univer sity and others for their financial help; and not least Mr. Brice and his associates of the Duke Press, who have been admirably patient over a period Of more than two lustra.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "American Folklore Scholarship is rich reading, outlining the intellectual genealogy of American folklore and delivering many interesting historical tidbits. Folklore teachers will want to use this book in their introductory theory classes, while doctoral students will want to memorize the book before their qualifying exams." --Folklore Forum "... a welcome overview of the discipline in North America and the practitioners who established it." --American Anthropologist In this classic text, Zumwalt examines the split between literary folklorists and anthropological folklorists. The former looked at literary forms for folklore; the latter looked at the life and unwritten culture of the people. This struggle shaped the study of folklore in the U.S.
Book Synopsis Gruesome Looking Objects by : Elijah Gaddis
Download or read book Gruesome Looking Objects written by Elijah Gaddis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1898 lynching of Tom Johnson and Joe Kizer is retold in this groundbreaking book. Unlike other histories of lynching that rely on conventional historical records, this study focuses on the objects associated with the lynching, including newspaper articles, fragments of the victims' clothing, photographs, and souvenirs such as sticks from the hanging tree. This material culture approach uncovers how people tried to integrate the meaning of the lynching into their everyday lives through objects. These seemingly ordinary items are repositories for the comprehension, interpretation, and commemoration of racial violence and white supremacy. Elijah Gaddis showcases an approach to objects as materials of history and memory, insisting that we live in a world suffused with the material traces of racial violence, past and present.

Book Synopsis Healing Traditions by : Bonnie Blair O'Connor
Download or read book Healing Traditions written by Bonnie Blair O'Connor and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity and practice of alternative medicine continues to expand at astonishing rates. In Healing Traditions, Bonnie Blair O'Connor considers the conflicts that arise between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. Providing in-depth examples of the importance and benefits of alternative health practices--including the extraordinarily extensive and sophisticated HIV/AIDS alternative therapies movement--O'Connor identifies ways to integrate alternative strategies with orthodox medical treatments in order to ensure the best possible care for patients. In spite of the long-standing prediction that, as science and medicine progressed--and education became more generally available--unconventional systems would die out, they have persisted with undiminished vitality. They have, in fact, experienced a reinvigoration and expansion during the last fifteen to twenty years. In the United States, this renewal is fueled by people representing a wide cross-section of American society, and most of them also use conventional medicine. This eclecticism can result in conflicts between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. O'Connor demonstrates the importance of understanding how various belief systems interact and how this interaction affects health care. She argues that through neutral observation and thorough description of health belief systems it is possible to gain an understanding of those systems, to identify likely points of conflict among systems--especially conflicts that may occur in conventional care settings--and to intervene in ways that ensure the best possible care for patients.
