240. Introduction to Slavic Folklore.
(3). (HU).
The course aims to give
beginning students a background for the study of folklore in general, as well as special insight into the folklore and folklife of the
Slavic peoples (including dress, music, dance, cooking, customs, ritual). Lectures, readings, and discussions will provide an introduction
to the varied folklore of the Slavs, who form the largest population
of Central and Eastern Europe, encompassing the West Slavs (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks), East Slavs (Russians, Belorussians, Ukrainians), and South Slavs (Slovenes, Croats, Serbs, Bosnian Muslims, Macedonians, Bulgarians). Within the wide range of traditional oral verse and prose, primary emphasis will be placed on the epic, ballad, lyric, and folktale including the highly developed vampire tale of the
South Slavs. Finally, the course will examine survival and adaptation
of folkloric forms in contemporary society. No specialized background
required. All reading in English. Short papers, midterm, and final
examination. (Stolz)
