To understand representative theories and research approaches in the research of folklore and apply them to the analysis and consideration of various phenomena in modern society and culture.
Folklore forms a core part of all cultures. Research into folkloric narratives, customs and practices have long been a part of both cultural studies and cultural anthropology. This course will provide students with a foundation to working in folklore studies. Working through a series of comparative cultural case studies, your class activities will be based around group discussions, presentations, in-class readings and student-led work, with each designed to help develop your critical and analytic skills in this area of scholarly research. Students will examine folklore from a cross-cultural perspective, exploring folktales, ghost stories, myths and legends from the geographical East and West. As well as assessing the role of folklore from both contemporary and historical viewpoints, the class will also introduce students to methodological approaches in the investigation of folklore. You will be required to write a research paper and give short presentations in English, as well as to undertake various homework tasks throughout the course (readings, creative assignments, compiling research, fieldwork etc.). The class will be based on in-class discussion, written responses and presentation of ideas in English and students should expect to actively engage in class activities.

| The majority of classes will be split into two parts: a short lecture (approximately 30-40mins) and class discussion. Depending on class numbers, students will be asked to work in small groups and discuss a series of prompt questions about the reading homework and/or class theme. Students will be expected to engage in active-learning, participate in group discussions, and share their ideas with the professor and their classmates. Students will be required to read articles and/or extract chapters on folklore/cultural studies topics weekly. Students will be expected to prepare for in-class discussion by making notes and forming questions to be addressed in class. Occasionally, students will be asked to prepare for discussion and presentation of examples or case studies which relate to the weekly class themes e.g. 'identify and make notes about an example of an urban legend'. |
Homework will predominantly involve reading short extracts and/or articles (10-20 pages) on cultural and folklore themed topics to be discussed during class. Students will sometimes be asked to research and prepare examples related to the class topics to introduce by way of short presentations. Weeks 6 and 7 will be used for designing, conducting, and presenting a mini-fieldwork assignment. Students will be expected to research, travel to and investigate a site connected to folklore in their local neighbourhood.
