Painting and Performance : Chinese Picture Recitation and Its Indian Genesis
2019
In this extraordinary work of scholarship, Victor Mair traces the global development over a thousand years of a genre of popular Buddhist folk literature from China known as pien-wen, pointing out its origins in India as a form of oral storytelling using painting as an aid, and showing how that form has influenced performance and literary traditions in India, Indonesia, Japan, Central Asia, the near East, Italy, France, and Germany. Professor Mair's research has important implications for students and scholars of literature, folklore, painting, religion, history, art , and theater and the performing arts , not to mention Chinese popular culture and Indian civilization.

Orality and Performance in Late Medieval Turkish Texts: Epic Tales, Hagiographies, and Chronicles.
Text & Performance Quarterly. Oct2009, Vol. 29 Issue 4, p327-345. 19p.
The purpose of this essay is to look in depth at a selected part of that corpus produced within the particularly chaotic political context of late medieval Asia Minor (Anatolia), where different languages, scripts, and genres competed with one another. In search of signs of orality and references to oral performances in written texts, the essay will particularly focus on three manuscripts, all reflecting the world of the Turkish-speaking communities of the late medieval Anatolia: the Book of Dede Korkut, the Vilayetname-i Hacı Bektas-ı Veli, and the Tarih-i Al-i Osman of Asıkpasazade. These manuscripts can be situated within the framework of a literary-historical genre as “epic ,” “hagiography,” and “chronicle,” respectively. In the late medieval Anatolian context, these three manuscripts shared linguistic, stylistic, and discursive commonalities, while, however, fulfilling different functions for different audiences, an issue that calls attention to the pitfalls of genre analysis in historical context. As examples of the unsettled—or even, at times, chaotic—historical-ethnographic setting of late medieval Anatolia, these three texts stand as “genres-in-progress,” to crystallize only in the late sixteenth century into more structured forms. Put into the same cultural-historical framework, these texts, with their signs of orality, reflect the diverse ways in which three types of communities—tribal, religious, and political—constructed and expressed their past.

The Challenge of Oral Epic to Homeric Scholarship.
Humanities (2076-0787); Dec2017, Vol. 6 Issue 4, p97, 15p
The epic is an intriguing genre, claiming its place in both oral and written systems. Ever since the beginning of folklore studies epic has been in the centre of interest, and monumental attempts at describing its characteristics have been made, in which oral literature was understood mainly as a primitive stage leading up to written literature. With the appearance in 1960 of A. B. Lord's The Singer of Tales and the introduction of the oral -formulaic theory, the paradigm changed towards considering oral literature a special form of verbal art with its own rules. Fieldworkers have been eagerly studying oral epics all over the world. The growth of material caused that the problems of defining the genre also grew. However, after more than half a century of intensive implementation of the theory an internationally valid sociological model of oral epic is by now established and must be respected in cognate fields such as Homeric scholarship. Here the theory is both a help for readers to guard themselves against anachronistic interpretations and a necessary tool for constructing a social-historic context for the Iliad and the Odyssey. As an example, the hypothesis of a gradual crystallization of these two epics is discussed and rejected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An Introduction to Arabic Literature
2000
Roger Allen provides a comprehensive introductory survey of literary texts in Arabic, from their unknown beginnings in the fifth century AD to the present. The volume focuses on the major genres of Arabic literature, dealing with Islam's sacred text, the Qur'an, and a wealth of poetry, narrative prose, drama and criticism. Allen reveals the continuities that link the creative output of the present day to the illustrious literary heritage of the past and incorporates an enormously rich body of popular literature typified most famously by The Arabian Nights. The volume is informed by Western critical approaches, but within each chapter the emphasis is on the texts themselves, with extensive quotations in English translation. Reference features include a chronology and a guide to further reading. A revised and abridged version of Allen's acclaimed study, The Arabic Literary Heritage, this book provides an invaluable student introduction to a major non-Western literary tradition.

What('s) Theory?
Journal of Folklore Research. Jan-Apr2008, Vol. 45 Issue 1, p19-28. 10p.
Cultural theory is (a) interpretive, even metaphorical, (b) interdependent with method, and (c) developed in dialogue with a discursive community. Interpretive theory should thus be judged not for sovereignty—its power to exclude or preclude other theories—but for aptness: resonance with a knowable meaning system. High/low and local/ grand theorizing are discussed in relation to politics of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
