Introduction
IntroductionContinuities, Shifts, and Narrative Temporalities Sheila Bock and Elo-Hanna Seljamaa In their introduction to the inaugural issue of this journal in the spring of 2014, the founding editors Ulrich Marzolph and Regina Bendix introduced "narrative culture" as a concept that both defines the scope of the journal and envisions an interdisciplinary, international field of study. Telling, consuming, interpreting, recognizing, and witnessing…
Collaboration, Women's Work, and the Unfinished Story of a Sonoran Tale Collection
From 1976-1978, UCLA PhD student Ronald B. Melton travelled to the state of Sonora in Mexico with his wife, Lily Villanueva Melton, to record legends and folktales for his dissertation research, though he died before he was able to complete the project.

Ku Klux Kasserole and Strange Fruit Pies
Twitter users' responses to the 2013 Paula Deen "N-word" scandal offer a rich site for examining how racial dynamics shape collective performances in digital spaces.

Discuss…

Exotic Identities
In this article, we present two independent ethnographic studies—one examining belly dancing by white women in Central Ohio and one examining the salsa dance scene in the culturally diverse municipalities of Northern New Jersey—in order to complicate our understanding of how and why people draw upon traditions of cultural Others in their expressive behavior. We argue that dancers' accounts of their dancing experiences reveal these practices to be…
