Rob, Maybe this one might help: Moezzi, Mithra Mah. "Technology in a World of Folklore" PhD. Dissertation. Folklore and Culture dep. Berkeley 2004 Sigalit I will keep looking -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of RGH Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 12:25 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] CMC and Folklore Sigalit: You are asking key questions I think about what the term "folklore" covers--and that can be a thorny issue. For an easy but well documented intro. to many of the issues in the field, I recommend: Georges, Robert A. and Michael Owen Jones. Folkloristics: An Introduction. Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press, 1995. I teach that text in my mixed undergrad/grad "Folklore in a Digital Age Course" at UW Madison. Actually, the web site for that is: http://endnear.com/FLR560/FLR560sch.html There might be other useful stuff on that syllabus, but its old. I am teaching it again next semester--so I am (with you) searching for articles on the topic!
