Beyond mere stories: A grandfather's narratives and a study in performance. - 225 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2000.

Interest in storytelling and personal narratives has flourished over the past couple of decades thanks in part to the work of such preeminent folklorists as Linda Degh, Richard Bauman, and Sandra Stahl. No longer are tales of personal experiences fringe folklore, studied only by those with an obscure interest. In fact, research into such narratives has become categorized according to whether the material is occupational, religious, gender-specific, region-specific, genre-related, or many other characteristics which nearly create sub-fields of narrative inquiry. Other fields such as history, sociology, and literary studies have taken up oral narratives as valuable resources as well.

520 $a Interest in storytelling and personal narratives has flourished over the past couple of decades thanks in part to the work of such preeminent folklorists as Linda Degh, Richard Bauman, and Sandra Stahl. No longer are tales of personal experiences fringe folklore, studied only by those with an obscure interest. In fact, research into such narratives has become categorized according to whether the material is occupational, religious, gender-specific, region-specific, genre-related, or many other characteristics which nearly create sub-fields of narrative inquiry. Other fields such as history, sociology, and literary studies have taken up oral narratives as valuable resources as well.
520 $a Of particular interest in the study of storytelling and personal narratives are the relationships both share with other folklore forms and genres. Of increasing interest discipline-wide is hybrid folklore, forms and genres that cross boundaries and begin to defy or at least challenge “traditional” conventions and conceptions. The stories examined in the current study, the stories of a Texas grandfather and storyteller, are examples of just that. And the informant himself is an example of the performer who, while aware of those demarcations between genres and styles, nevertheless crosses over them repeatedly in his efforts to tell the stories he wants to tell.
520 $a The present study examines multiple factors involved in the collection and interpretation of the stories as well as the actual presentation of them. The familial relationship between the informant and the folklorist is of prime concern, and the first chapter is devoted to the exploration of this. The second chapter examines the blurring of conventional boundaries when it comes to notions of audience, genre, repertoires, and other performance concerns. A third chapter explores many of the stories in a more traditional manner, highlighting and tracing dominant themes and values. The fourth chapter focuses on a particular theme and how the use of one linguistic device—constructed dialogue—serves to enhance and intensify that theme. A conclusion pulls all of these concerns together and touches on the implications of such a common practice as storytelling.
