Overview
This week everyone will present material often filed under the "folk" or "folkloric" labels. These are admittedly vague, somewhat value-laden, labels, and in addition to thinking about how the music you're considering has been (or could be) considered "folk" or "folkloric", you should also feel free to problematize or critique such a categorization, thinking about how the categorization itself is often an expression of power.
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 10-15 minutes of presentation max, to allow time for discussion.
All readings are on http://bit.ly/ammoodle except as linked below.
Feel free to edit your entry, adding links to AV material, optional readings, and thought/discussion questions, 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.
