Folklore, Verbal Art, and Culture
IN THE OFT-CITED TWENTY-ONE DEFINITIONS of folklore published under the editorship of Maria Leach,' I was intrepid enough to suggest that in anthropological usage folklore could be defined as art. I say intrepid, or perhaps the word should be rash, because I could hardly hope to make my meaning clear in the suggested 50 to 200 words. And yet, in rereading this statement I still find it difficult to see how I could have been thought to be speaking…
The Forms of Folklore
THIS ARTICLE1 is directed toward a definition of myth, legend, and folktale. These three very basic terms in folklore are loosely used and have sometimes been as hotly disputed as the nature of folklore itself. Definitions and classifications are neither particularly interesting nor necessarily fruitful, but if any field of study needs clarification of its basic terminology it is clearly folklore, which has so long been plagued by inconsistent an…
Four Functions of Folklore
N a paper given at the El Paso meetings last year I expressed the opinion that the most effective way to bridge the gap between the anthropological and the humanist points of view towards folklore is through a common concern with common problems, rather than relying as in the past on a common interest in a common body of subject matter. I also attempted to explain the anthropological approach to folklore, and extended the invitation for someone t…

Urbanization Among the Yoruba
The Yoruba of Western Nigeria have large, dense, permanent settlements, based upon farming rather than upon industrialization, the pattern of which is traditional rather than an outgrowth of acculturation. They are undoubtedly the most urban of all African peoples, the percentage living in large communities being comparable to that in European nations. In terms of these communities, Wirth's final criterion of the city, social heterogeneity, may b…

Hunting, fishing, animal husbandry, and the gathering of wild foods are practised, but the basis of the Yoruba diet consists of starchy tubers, grains, and fruits grown on their farms, supplemented by vegetable oils, wild and cultivated fruits and vegetables, and meat and fish.

Two Studies of Ifa Divination
Opening ParagraphTo the Yoruba, divination is of great concern, as the means by which they discover and hope to influence the changes in their relationships with the gods and ancestors and other spirits in their complex cosmos, and so to gain their aid in their pursuit of health and good fortune. They employ a number of divinatory techniques. The one that yields the fullest information is the system of geomancy known as Ifa, for which there are t…

Ponape
During the first century of contact with the outside world, the history of Ponape has been marked by a series of violent outbreaks against Americans, Spaniards, and Germans. The causes and implications of these surprisingly effective uprisings, in which two governors of the island were killed, have become the direct concern of the American people. Ponape has been governed by the U. S. Navy since 1945, and was assigned to the United States by the …
