Book Synopsis Storytelling on the Northern Irish Border by : Ray Cashman
Download or read book Storytelling on the Northern Irish Border written by Ray Cashman. This book was released on 2011-09-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A folklorist explores the storytelling traditions of a small Irish town where local character anecdotes build community across sectarian divides. More than quaint local color, folklore is a crucial part of life in Aghyaran, a mixed Catholic-Protestant border community in Northern Ireland. Neighbors socialize during wakes and ceilis—informal nighttime gatherings—without regard to religious, ethnic, or political affiliation. The witty, sometimes raucous stories swapped on these occasions offer a window into Aghyaran residents’ views of self and other in the wake of decades of violent conflict. Through anecdotes about local characters, participants explore the nature of community and identity in ways that transcend Catholic or Protestant sectarian histories. Ray Cashman analyzes local character anecdotes in detail and argues that while politicians may take credit for the peace process in Northern Ireland, no political progress would be possible without ordinary people using shared resources of storytelling and socializing to imagine and maintain community.

Book Synopsis The Individual and Tradition by : Ray Cashman
Download or read book The Individual and Tradition written by Ray Cashman. This book was released on 2011-09-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiles of artists and performers from around the world form the basis of this innovative volume that explores the many ways individuals engage with, carry on, revive, and create tradition. Leading scholars in folklore studies consider how the field has addressed the connections between performer and tradition and examine theoretical issues involved in fieldwork and the analysis and dissemination of scholarship in the context of relationships with the performers. Honoring Henry Glassie and his remarkable contributions to the field of folklore, these vivid case studies exemplify the best of performer-centered ethnography.
