Inhalt: Each disciplinary history of folklore—as practiced in different national cultures—is the product of specific societal, regional, and even institutional contexts. Nonetheless, there are national, international, and transnational moments and turns that can write the “global” and “transnational” histories of our discipline. This course is based on the assumption that differences in the disciplinary histories of folklore studies are what divide us. However, these accounts also unite us as folklorists working in the transnational realm. Taking diverse accounts of disciplinary histories on both sides of the Atlantic, this course will critically situate different historical moments and attempt to map out transnational scholarly exchanges, which can be unpacked through numerous case studies. Working and thinking together with interested students, we will explore the interwoven history of travelling ideas and scholars that will reveal the neglected, interesting, and invisible trajectories of folklore studies.
