Manx Folk-Lore and Superstitions. II

This paper explores the emergent legend of Colton Harris-Moore, the Barefoot Bandit, to locate its place within American folk legendry. Analysis builds off the work of Eric Hobsbawm and Graham Seal, highlighting how folklorists might re-envision classifications and representations of banditry in constantly changing yet specific populations and environments.     

Harvest Customs

Motivated by a religiously-based defensive credulity, the accounts of apparitions recorded by Edmund Jones (1702–93) are heavily coloured by his personal religious beliefs. One of the best examples of this is his account of the Pwcca'r Trwyn, which differs widely from other versions of the tale. Through close investigation of Jones's telling, greater insight can be gained into his own folkloristics and the reluctance of later writers to use him as a source.     

Speaking from the Shadows: Sophia Morrison and the Manx Cultural Revival

The true extent of national and cultural revival in the Isle of Man, 1880-1920, is only now beginning to be understood. The present paper focuses on a previously marginalised figure, the folklorist and activist Sophia Morrison. Her work exposes the importance of folklore in providing impetus for the revival movement in the absence of a strong literary tradition for Manx Gaelic. Morrison's ability to move between social circles sets her apart from other antiquarians, and she emerges as a key figure in the Manx language movement.

论民俗的易感染性

对于民俗,民俗学家研究最巨,其他从事实地田野研究的社会学科多从民俗学家的直接描述与归类中获益良多。这是不言而喻的事实,不用多费笔墨。不过民俗究竟是什么,连民俗学家自己也在争论,而围绕这一争论最为直接的论著应该是高丙中教授的《民俗文化与民俗生活》,其中有详尽的对于民俗学学科史中有关民俗的界定,最后作者以“生活文化”作为民俗的实质内涵,
