Reciprocal Ethnography and the Power of Women's Narratives
"Folklorist Elaine J. Lawless has devoted her career to ethnographic research with underserved groups in the American Midwest, including charismatic Pentecostals, clergywomen, victims of domestic violence, and displaced African Americans. She has consistently focused her research on women's speech in these contexts and has developed a new approach to ethnographic research which she calls "reciprocal ethnography," while growing a detailed corpus o…
When They Blew the Levee
In this ethnography of a destroyed town in southern Missouri’s Bootheel region, authors David Todd Lawrence and Elaine J. Lawless examine two conflicting narratives about the flood of 2011—one promoted by the Corps of Engineers that boasts the success of the levee breach and the flood diversion, and the other gleaned from oral narratives collected from the displaced Pinhook residents, stories that reveal a lack of concern on the part of the gover…
What Zora Knew
This tribute to Zora Neale Hurston is meant to re-introduce Hurston's work to folklorists and Hurston enthusiasts who already know her and some of her work, yet who may not have thought much about her more recently. I have gained new regard, respect, and passion for what Hurston brought to ethnographic research, to the art of writing about folklore and Southern black life. She modeled the creative impulse in many different and overlapping genres,…
Folklore as a Map of the World
For years, I felt that my negative feelings about "home" were completely justified and that I saw no redemption in the area or the people whom I associated with "home." That is not to say that I do not love my family, but there was never any effort on my part to salvage or imagine whatever could have been viewed as-at the very least-constructive and positive about my "home" or how my home and childhood created the blueprint for my own personal "m…
Testimonies of the Disappeared
Testimonies of the Disappeared:A Response to Margaret Randall's AFS Address Elaine J. Lawless, Curator's Distinguished Professor (bio) First, I want to say what a privilege it is for the American Folklore Society to have Margaret Randall here as a guest speaker, as we are most fortunate to be able to hear and learn from her. When I first agreed to give a response to her talk, I began to locate some of her sixty books—at least, what I had read sug…

Claiming Inversion
Folklorists do not often use critical theory to help them in their analysis of folk culture(s). This article seeks to demonstrate one way that grounded folkloric research, ethnography, interviewing, and analysis can be enhanced by the application of current theoretical concepts. Primarily, this critique of lesbian identities and cultural configurations has been expanded by the application of critical theory, feminist theory, and cultural studies.…
Women Preaching Revolution
Do women preach differently than men? In Women Preaching Revolution Elaine J. Lawless contends that they do. Drawing on her study of more than 150 sermons and extensive interviews with the clergywomen who preached them, Lawless argues that women have changed traditional preaching in ways that reflect their socialization as women and their experiences of being female in America. Many of the women in her study were expected to take courses on the a…

Writing the Body in the Pulpit
La presence des femmes dans les chaires constituerait une menace pour l'ordre theologique, pour la repartition des roles entre hommes et femmes, pour la domination masculine de l'ordre social, pour la perception de Dieu en tant que mâle assexue avec l'emergence d'un modele divin feminin.

PENTECOSTALS IN SOUTHERN INDIANA are quick to assert that theirs is a religion of equality; all members, male and female, are equal in the sight of God and all may participate in the ecstatic behaviors that have become the trademark of this charismatic religion. In fact, if anything, the newcomer to a Pentecostal religious service would report that dominate the services: they are there in greater numbers; they sing more; they march and dance arou…
