The Skirt Chaser and His Brothers
This 15-part forum challenges the Journal of American Folklore's readership to contemplate explicitly and publicly what we should do about the professional legacies of colleagues in our field who are known to or alleged to have harmed others through sexual harassment and gender discrimination. An introduction by the forum's curator Lisa Gilman is followed by 14 essays representing a diversity of viewpoints from members of the American Folklore So…
Asante Queen Mothers in Ghana
The queen mothers of Asante are linked together with chiefs in a dual-gender system of leadership. The symbol of authority and leadership in Asante is a stool (like a throne in England). Throughout the polities of Asante, each queen mother occupies her own stool, and each chief occupies his own stool, representing the authority of chieftaincy in a town or a paramountcy. This political model shapes Asante like a pyramid: queen mothers and chiefs o…

Ganhando uma eleição com performance
Os políticos em Gana regozijam-se chamando uns aos outros de 'canalhas perversos' (wicked rascals) e frequentemente se envolvem em ataques e contra-ataques, a chamada 'política do pingue-pongue'. Valendo-se do poder da performance, em 2008, um político com boa educação formal recorreu a uma estratégia inovadora na campanha eleitoral: conjurou uma maldição, insinuando que o partido rival havia feito acusações falsas contra o seu partido. Fazendo u…
Paredes and the Hero
Américo Paredes's contributions to folklore featured the recognition of power relations in his methodology and the analysis of the construction of symbolic forms for political purposes, all of this well in advance of the introduction of these concepts into academic discourse. Specifically, he analyzed the North American cowboy and the shaping of that figure into a hero in response to "a craving for a strong national identity." Building on that ar…
Crowning the Nice Girl by Christine R. Yano
Asante Traditions and Female Self-Assertion
Exploring the relationship between narrative and conflict, this study takes as its subject the narrative of one individual woman in Kumasi, Ghana. In her account, she narrates the situation in which her former boyfriend places a curse on her, and the process she followed in order to revoke the curse. Utilizing Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of a dialogic process and recent work on the representation of conflict in narrative, the paper examines the sig…

Gender Ideologies and Discursive Practices in Asante
"The Self in "Fieldwork
As concepts of reflexivity and postcolonial perspectives have advanced our understandings of the way we represent those we study, they have also introduced a consciousness of the role of the self in research. This article reviews the history of the field of folklore with regard to the method of obtaining data or texts and demonstrates that collecting material contrasts with the practice of conducting research in the field. Pointing to a moment of…

Power and the Ritual Genres
Among most significant developments in scholarship of late twentieth century is liberation of concept of power from strictly political to research in all domains of social life. In this we are especially indebted to Michel Foucault who conceived of power as something that circulates, and of individuals as vehicles through whom power passes. He argued for ascending analyses of power that would start from regional and local forms and institutions, …

A Helpmate for Man Indeed
THE VERY NATURE OF THE FRONTIER, in any geographical setting, implies a process of adaptation in the settlement of that frontier, an interaction of the settling people with the physical environment. New settlements also involve, however, the interaction of the settlers with each other in the new environment, through which interaction a new or modified society is established. In this social adaptation process, behavior forms are drawn from cultura…
