Produktbeschreibung
Examines Scottish storytelling traditions to uncover function and meaning within a set of distinctive folkloric expressions Storytelling lies at the heart of much that we do, say, experience and express, yet its enigmatic world-making force is too often taken for granted. The stories that we share in our traditions not only build communities but give meaning to both our individual and collective experiences. Merging insights from a broad range of studies - connecting ethnology, literary criticism, social history and ideology - Robert Fell uncovers how stories make meaning within Scotland's iconic Traveller/Nawken/Nacken communities. This celebratory book guides the reader through one of the world's most sophisticated and expressive communities of storytellers. It unravels the complexities of storytelling as tradition and sets out analytical techniques that can uncover the meanings of the stories we tell. With vivid detail and lively debate, Traveller Storytelling in Scotland captures the enduring relevance of traditional storytelling to contemporary Scottish culture, and beyond. Robert Fell recently gained his PhD in Celtic and Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh. He continues to research various aspects of the intangible cultural heritages of Scotland's Traveller and Nawken/Nacken communities.
