This week everyone will present material often filed under the "folk" or "folkloric" labels. These are admittedly vague, somewhat value-laden, labels, and you should feel free to problematize or critique the categorization of your topic as "folk" or "folkloric" in your presentation.
Each presenter should (a) provide an overview of her or his reading/topic, (b) supply AV examples (some are listed on this page; you can bring your laptop, or use mine, in order to share these with the class), then (c) critique and raise a few questions for discussion. In other words, treat these presentations as oral versions of what you'd do in an SC paper centered on your topic. Plan for around 15-20 minutes max.
All readings are on http://bit.ly/ammoodle except as linked below.
Feel free to edit your entry, adding links to AV material, or optional readings, as you wish.
Important: Everyone should read everything to be presented, in addition to whatever was required reading. That way we can have a meaningful discussion.
