Download or read book Mapping the History of Folklore Studies written by Dace Bula and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles provides rich and diverse insights into the historical dynamics of folkloristic thought with its shifting geographies, shared spaces, centres and borderlands. By focusing on intellectual collaboration and sharing, the volume also reveals the limitations, barriers and boundaries inherent in scholarship and scholarly communities. Folklore scholars from Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, and the USA reflect upon a range of related questions, including: To what extent and in what sense can folklore studies be regarded as a shared field of knowledge? Which lines of authority have held it together and what forces have led to segmentation? How have the hierarchies of intellectual centres and peripheries shifted over time? Do national or regional styles of scholarly practice exist in folkloristics? The contributors here pay attention to individual personalities, the politics and economics of scholarship, and forms of communication as meaningful contexts for discussing the dynamics of folklore theory and methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treatise upon the knowledge production process within the field of mythology research, located between folkloristics, history and studies of religion. The analysis is focussed on institutional, scholarly knowledge production, exploring bi-directional relationships between causes and effects in texts and practices concerning the geographically and linguistically constructed object of research--Latvian mythology. Mapping the density of intertextual links and similarities in extra-textual--institutional, political, societal contexts--the author has defined several research traditions of Latvian mythology. The first is a discursive formation of pre-institutional scholarly cum poetical emergence of textual productions upon the subject matter until the World War I. The second research tradition developed in Latvia during the interwar period. Further several parallel research traditions are defined analysing the post-war period scholarship: taking place in academia of Soviet Latvia, within the community of exile Latvian researchers, in the circles of Moscow-Tartu school of semiotics. Latvian mythology is also located as a constitutive part of broader research projects concerning Proto-Indo-European and Baltic mythologies. In-depth analysis illustrates dynamics of reconstructions of mythological space, but comparison of Latvian and Estonian scholars and their works demonstrates the similarities determined by impact of external factors on knowledge production process.

Download or read book Folklore in Baltic History written by Sadhana Naithani and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folklore in the Baltic History: Resistance and Resurgence is about the role of folklore, folklore archives, and folklore studies in the contemporary history of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—together called the Baltic countries. They were occupied by Russia, by Germany, and lastly by the USSR at the end of the Second World War. They regained freedom in 1991. The period under the rule of the USSR brought several changes to their societies and cultures. Individuals and institutions dealing with folklore—archives, university departments, and folklorists—came under special control, attack, and surveillance. Some of the pioneer folklorists escaped to other countries, but many others witnessed their institutions and the meaning of folklore studies transformed. The USSR did not stop folklore studies but led the field to new methods. In spite of all the pressure, folklore continued to be a matter of identity, and folksongs became the marching songs of crowds resisting Soviet control in the late 1980s. Since independence in 1991, folklore scholars and institutions revamped and reconstituted folkloristics. Today all three countries have many active scholars and institutions. Sadhana Naithani recounts this resilient arc through an intermedial and interdisciplinary methodology of research. She combines the study of written works, archival documents, life-stories, and conversations with folklorists, ethnologists, archivists, and historians in Tartu, Riga, and Vilnius. She recorded conversations on video, creating current reflections on issues of the recent past. Based on the study of life-stories and oral history projects, Naithani juxtaposes the history of folkloristics and the life of the folk in the Soviet period of the Baltic countries. The result is this dramatic, first-ever history of Baltic folkloristics.

Download or read book Bear slayers written by Steven Kiersons and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Russia and Germany lay contested lands. The domain of the German Lords and the western-most bastion of Imperial Russia, these lands have often been at the centre of European history, but their indigenous peoples have not. With the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, newly born nations sought to find a usable past to unite in common struggle. Latvia's national legend, the Bear-Slayer, was at the forefront in a battle to rescue its past from the hands of its oppressors. This book explores how the Bear-Slayer served as a template for the remembrance of two World Wars in Latvia, how the legend was used and abused by foreign occupiers, and how Latvians understand their own personal histories as an act of social memory. Also included: An interview with Latvian Waffen SS Legionnaire Janis Saulitis.
