The study of folklore has traditionally delved into the daily lives and cultural practices of ordinary individuals, including artisans, storytellers, and craftspeople. However, it holds immense potential to shed light on strategies of belonging, survival, and reinvention during times of crisis. The experience of living in hostile conditions for cultural, social, political, or economic reasons has profoundly impacted communities in crisis, redefining their identities and relationships.
To address this, the curated works in "Theorizing Folklore from the Margins" provide valuable insights and practical recommendations for conducting ethical research with marginalized populations. By focusing on critical race and ethnic studies, decolonial and antioppressive methodologies, and gender and sexuality studies, contributors employ a diverse range of disciplines and theoretical approaches. This transdisciplinary approach reflects the rich possibilities of folklore studies.
By bridging the gap between theory and practice, "Theorizing Folklore from the Margins" firmly establishes that engaging with oppressed communities is not only relevant but essential. It emphasizes the importance of listening to their voices, respecting their experiences, and recognizing the power of folklore to document and preserve their histories and traditions. Through their contributions, these scholars contribute to a more inclusive and equitable understanding of folklore and its role in shaping societies in times of crisis.
