Folklore and Anthropology in Conversation: Soundscapes and Folklore in East Asia

‘Folklore and Anthropology in Conversation’

8th Folklore Society – RAI Joint Seminar

SOUNDSCAPES AND FOLKLORE ON EAST ASIA

The seminar series ‘Folklore and Anthropology in Conversation’ encourages empirical and conceptual dialogue between the two related disciplines of folklore and anthropology.

In this year’s conference, we will explore a range of topics in the areas of folk music studies, ethnomusicology, oral folklore, ritual, and performance. New approaches in social, cultural and political interpretations are invited.

Geographically, the conference will be focused on East Asia broadly defined, including China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam, but not excluding adjacent areas.
