Confessions of a Legend Hunter in the U.S.A
L’auteur décrit le terrain d’une « chasseur de légendes » aux États-Unis depuis les années 1970. Elle démontre ses différentes pratiques, en commençant par une ethnographie classique, puis une ethnographie intime, en passant par une ethnographie de l’ombre, pour aboutir à une forme d’ethnographie partagée

Celebrating Arabs
This article examines one instance of a widely spread rumor (incipient legend) circulated via e-mail in northwest Detroit that Arab employees at a Middle Eastern restaurant cheered when they saw television footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. It argues that rumor and legend scholars, especially those examining alternative communication paths including Internet transmission, should work…
Smuggling Across the Windsor-Detroit Border
Acts of border smuggling, and the stories about them, are folk art for they reveal culturally-shared strategies for moving goods from one country to the other and for duping Customs officiais in the process. Yet they are more. A case is made here through the micro-analysis of family smuggling across the “Windsor-Detroit Funnel” that gender differences revealed in smuggling strategies ultimately articulate complex problems in border relations and …

Over the next seven years it is believed that she killed a husband, children, and an indeterminate number of would-be suitors who answered her matrimo…

Belle Gunness, the Lady Bluebeard
The Vanishing Hitchhiker
The Belle Isle Bridge Incident
ALTHOUGH TAMARA is one of those cities Italo Calvino encounters in the fabled East of Marco Polo's 14th century, and Detroit is its antithesis in almost every way, his proposition linking city, sign and discourse connects them. The question, shared by many anthropologists, folklorists, literary critics, semioticians and sociologists, of whether or not every culture or every era has characteristic communicative forms, has been pulled into a circum…
