Missing Finishes and Diminishing Heroes in Hurricane Katrina Survivor Stories
Narratives told by Hurricane Katrina survivors to fellow survivors in the wake of the disaster share some signal traits with belief legends as understood by Linda Dégh and Max Lüthi, as well as with hero legends as described by Wilhelm Grimm and exemplified in such ancient epics as Gilgamesh and The Iliad. Echoing contemporary belief legends, survivor narratives project a sense of purgatorial endlessness through which the overwhelming power of th…
Dream Some More
This published version of the David Buchan Memorial Lecture (presented to the Elphinstone Institute at the University of Aberdeen) explores three manifestations of the interrelationships of storytelling, dreams, and healing. First, reports from the Colonial North American frontier suggest that märchen and tall tales performed therapeutic functions for the earliest European inhabitants of the Appalachian Mountains. Second, recent discoveries in ne…
Linda Dégh (1918–2014)
Linda Degh, who reshaped the world's understanding of marchen and legend, died in Bloomington, Indiana on 19 August 2014 at the age of ninety-six. After more than seventy-five years as a folklorist
The School of Scottish Studies, an Island Community
The School of Scottish Studies came into being at the University of Edinburgh in 1951 as a research unit dedicated to ‘the study and conservation of the folk culture of Scotland’ when Professor Angus McIntosh was enabled to turn a vision which he and others had long held into reality. In that year Calum Iain Maclean was seconded from the Irish Folklore Commission to continue his collecting in Scotland, while other pioneers such as Hamish Henderso…

Legends of Hurricane Katrina
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, media-borne legends overwhelmingly portrayed poor New Orleanians as criminals; the reports carried the force of truth in discouraging rescues and conferring upon their tellers the right to be wrong. In contrast, survivors’ narratives assigned guilt to government elites, depicted fellow survivors as heroes, and met rejection from the media. Thus emerged a pattern of divided narrative communities, narrative content…
Leonard Roberts, The Farmer-Lewis-Muncy Family, and the Magic Circle of the Mountain Märchen (American Folklore Society Fellows Invited Plenary Address, October 2008)
This address-presented at the American Folklore Society's 2008 Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky-celebrates the narrators and narratives recorded by Kentucky folklorist Leonard Roberts (1912-1983) and commemorates Roberts's first audio folktale recording, a 1949 performance of "Merrywise" by Janie Muncy (now Margarett Jane Muncy Fugate). The narrator's memories and interpretations reveal mountain märchen telling as three continuous arcs: the…

Storms of Memory
Storms of Memory:New Orleanians Surviving Katrina in Houston Carl Lindahl The Birth and Purpose of the Project New Orleans and Houston: at first glance, an unlikely couple. Yet the two cities are now twinned in American memory. In the first days of September 2005, with New Orleans under water, as hundreds of buses emptied the Superdome into the Astrodome and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center into the George R. Brown Convention Center, Housto…
The Houston Survivor Project
The Houston Survivor Project:An Introduction Pat Jasper (bio) and Carl Lindahl (bio) Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston is the first large-scale project, anywhere, in which the survivors of a major disaster have taken the lead in documenting it. Our goal is to voice, as intimately as possible, the experiences and reflections of those displaced to Houston by the two major hurricanes that pounded the Gulf Coast in August and September of 2005. S…
Survivor to Survivor
Survivor to Survivor: Katrina Stories from Houston:Recording Katrina: The Survivor Duet Carl Lindahl Katrina stories were being told by those in its path before the storm hit and retold amongst survivors long before rescuers arrived. In New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward on the eve of the hurricane, neighbors congregated in bars to verbalize a plot of betrayal: the rich and powerful would once more dynamite the levees and flood their homes as during …
Publishing Up a Storm
Publishing Up a Storm:Katrina Book Notes Carl Lindahl (bio) Scarcely four months after Katrina's waters ebbed, Karla Starr was reeling back from the "title wave" of instant books spawned by the hurricane: "What gets squeezed out of the publication process from books released so soon after disasters is precisely what books alone can offer: thorough, investigative research conducted without regard to the stringent word-length or time constraints im…
Ostensive Healing
Linda Dégh's concept of ostension-the process through which people enact legend-has been generally applied to criminal activities, yet there is substantial evidence that ostension can also transcend horror and inspire a sense of wonder in those who bring legends to life. One legend-teller's account of a group "pilgrimage" to a legend site in San Antonio, Texas, reveals the complexity and depth of her community's relationship with the supernatural…

Introduction
Introduction:Ways inside the Circles of Mardi Gras Carl Lindahl (bio) Mardi Gras, as "traditional" and "authentic" a festive event as can be found in this country, is at one and the same time the active site of all the contemporary forces-computer technology, mass marketing, film and video production, organized tourism, the self-conscious staging of social memory-that have made tradition and authenticity such quaintly troublesome terms. On the sa…

Bakhtin's Carnival Laughter and the Cajun Country Mardi Gras

The living festival reveals structures missing from Bakhtin's élite sources and consequently from his writings: structures that articulate the folk community's autonomous values and coo…

Earnest Games
In Ernest Games Carl Lindahl recovers a folkloric world long hidden from readers of Chaucer. Lindahl is the first critic to demonstrate how the poem reflects the social and artistic patterns of medieval folk performance. Combining current approaches from the fields of literary criticism, social history, and folklore, Earnest Games begins with a study of Chaucer's setting and characters. Lindahl discovers that Chaucer gives each community the gent…
