Geographer Yi-Fu Tuan (University of Wisconsin) gives the Programs Committee Invited Plenary Address at the American Folklore Society Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah on Wednesday October 13.
Abstract: "I, a geographer, am privileged to raise four themes for consideration by folklorists. My naiveté in regard to your discipline’s scope, methodology, and philosophy is compensated, I hope, by a certain clarifying boldness. The four themes or questions are: 1. What is the relationship between a genre of storytelling and a unit of
land—for example, between folklore and landscape? 2. Fear in the experiencing of place has diminished in modern society, which leads us to ask, will it disappear altogether one day? 3. What is the moral content of folklore? 4. Human beings everywhere and in all times assume an emotional bond between themselves and
external reality. What if the bond, the existence of which is the basis of all storytelling and our very humanity, is an illusion?"
