International Conference of Young Folklorists 2014: The Informant in Folklore Studies
Place: The Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, Antakalnio 6, LT-10308 Vilnius, Lithuania
Date: June 5-7, 2014
Abstract submission deadline: March 1, 2014
Organizers: The Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore in Vilnius, Lithuania;
Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia.
Tradition is the key concept in folkloristics. We are happy to be the immediate creators, bearers and transmitters of a very important tradition - organizing the annual conferences in Vilnius and Tartu, to which we invite all the young folklore researchers. We welcome you to the 4th conference, and this time it is held in Lithuania.
The main goals of the International Conferences of the Young Folklorists are:
. Bringing together students and young researchers of folklore from different countries and continents to present and compare different ways in folklore research.
. Fostering academic communication between the young folklorists.
. Encouraging young scholars to raise and tackle theoretical research questions and discuss them.
There are many questions that concern young scholars and ignite discussion, prompting to rethink, analyze or contemplate the concepts which are essential in folkloristics. Nothing is self-contained in the humanities, although we persist in seeking the truth, the system and the explanation of the immense human world. Definition is only one manifestation of the scientific work, while the breathing and the "real" work begins with the questions. This time we invite our young colleagues to the laboratory of folklore focusing on the primary source in our discipline: who is the informant in folklore studies?
The conference consists of two main parts. One part is the usual paper presentations followed by discussion; and another part is topic-related workshops. Thus we invite you to submit your abstract on one of the topics below; however, different interpretations of the theme are very welcome:
. Extending the definition: traditional informant vs. modern one;
. Phenomenological approach to the source of folklore;
. Genre-based interviewing methodologies;
. Balance between scientific and subjective approach to the informant;
. Methodological strategies in choosing/finding the informant;
. Time, space and other parameters in personal narrative;
. (In) sanity and marginalities within certain culture/locality/community;
. Making the dialog: essential conditions and possible outcomes.
Practical information:
Please submit your abstract (max 250 words) by March 1, 2014 by e-mail: youngfolklorists2014@gmail.com. Please include your name, affiliation, position and e-mail address.
. You will be notified by the organizers regarding the acceptance of your proposal by April 1, 2014.
. The organizers reserve the right to decide which papers are going to be presented during the conference sessions, and which at the workshops.
. Initiative of both the young or the senior scholars to give the keynote talks or lead the workshops are very welcome.
. The working language of the conference is English. Each paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion.
. The conference program will include sessions, workshops, keynote talks, excursions, etc.
