Essays in Anthropology and the Semiotics of Folklore

Author(s): Dragana Antonijević
Subject(s): Anthropology, Philosophy, Social Sciences, Semiology, Cultural Anthropology / Ethnology, Culture and social structure
Published by: Srpski genealoški centar
Summary/Abstract: In this book I have sought to examine – from the transdisciplinary perspective characteristic of folkloristics as an eclectic discipline – several methodological proposals which, each in its own way, could have or actually have contributed to the further theoretical and methodological study and interpretation of folklore. These Methodological Essays have been selected according to my personal methodological inclinations, and draw from various disciplines – anthropology and structural anthropology, semiotics, narrative theory and sociology. The common thread of these methodological experiments is the text as the main subject of study (Chapters 2, 3 and 4), or as the end product of complex folklore communication (Chapter 1). Another common thread is their innovativeness as experiments, despite the differences in the time, place and state of the discipline in which they originated and the differences in method and interpretative procedure.
