Introduction: Difference and Dialogism in Family Narratives
As a primary generator and transmitter of expressive culture, the family is an important source for folklorists. Nevertheless, our dependence on family often has gone unrecognized and unproblematized in folklore scholarship. Enlarging the scope of family folklore beyond an identified, largely celebratory core to include other considerations of family narrative, we complicate folkloristic concepts of group, genre, and performance. Like any other g…
Every kid is where they're supposed to be, and it's a miracle: Family Formation Stories among Adoptive Families
The process of adopting a child can be protracted and difficult. Members of families formed through adoption, especially international or transracial adoption, often find that others treat their family as not fully real or legitimate. I analyze stories told by five adoptive mothers about the remarkable circumstances through which their children joined their families and their attendant sense that larger-than-human forces must have played a role. …
Ethical responsibility in feminist research: Challenging ourselves to do activist research with women in poverty
For those who seek to conduct qualitative research that makes a positive difference in the lives of women in poverty, feminist research methodologies offer the most productive guide. Researchers must partner with those we study and foreground participants’ own perceptions of their challenges, while analyzing structural discrimination and identifying ‘sites of possibilities’ to leverage social and policy change. Attempting to follow all the recomm…
Performance at the Nexus of Gender, Power, and Desire: Reconsidering Bauman's Verbal Art from the Perspective of Gendered Subjectivity as Performance
Richard Bauman's theory of performance has supported feminist work in folklore but proves incompatible with contemporary concepts of gendered subjectivity. Bauman's combination of formalist and behaviorist perspectives paradoxically de-emphasized and undertheorized audience and emotion. The threat posed by women's performance is better explained by exploring how performance constructs reciprocal positions for audience and performer, mobilizes des…

Transparent Masks: The Ideology and Practice of Disguise in Contemporary Cajun Mardi Gras
Stories and prescriptive statements recorded from participants in Cajun country Mardi Gras, as well as standard scholarly descriptions, insist that complete disguise is essential. However, actual masking practice varies between groups and among members of each group. I reject the claim that the tradition is truly degenerating and interpret statements about disguise as rhetorical moves. These portray Mardi Gras as promoting community cohesion and …

Right here is a good Christian lady: Reported speech in personal narratives
The personal narratives told by a North Carolina woman contribute to our understanding of both the relationship of personal narratives to the overall speech economy of an area and gender-specific narrative technique. Reported speech provides the means for this narrator to bring local speech practices into her stories where they support her claims for individual worth and the value of women's work without directly contravening local prohibitions a…
