Description
Group. Art. Text. Genre. Performance. Context. Tradition. Identity. _x000B_No matter where we are -- in academic institutions, in cultural agencies, at home, or in a casual conversation -- these are words we use when we talk about creative expression in its cultural contexts. This volume is a thoughtful, interdisciplinary examination of the keywords that are integral to the formulation of ideas about the diversity of human creativity, presented as a set of essays by leading folklorists. Anchored by Feintuchs cogent introduction, the book features essays by Dorothy Noyes, Gerald L. Pocius, Jeff Todd Titon, Trudier Harris, Deborah A. Kapchan, Mary Hufford, Henry Glassie, and Roger D. Abrahams.
