Car Modification: A Vehicle For Self Expression, Emily Kearns
Car Modification: A Vehicle For Self Expression, Emily Kearns
Undergraduate Review
When considering what falls into the remarkably broad discipline that is folklore, some of the first images that come to mind are peasants and farmers performing folk dances, passing down folktales, and engaging in age-old rituals and ceremonies. I certainly never would have considered car modification to fall under the folkloric umbrella – after all, it seems far too modern, and we often have the misconception that folklore is concerned exclusively with the lower-class workers of the distant past. However, after looking closely at some of the more modern interpretations and definitions of folklore (of which there are many), it …
'Deviant' Burials In Archaeology, Jesslyn E. Hodgson
'Deviant' Burials In Archaeology, Jesslyn E. Hodgson
Anthropology Publications
The term ‘deviant’ is used to describe burials that deviate from the normative burial rites of a given society, at a given point in time.

This negative connotation insinuates that the individual in the burial context may have been viewed by their society in a negative light, however, through analysis of case studies it is shown that many ‘deviant’ burials are not in fact burials of people viewed as deviant, but ‘different’ burials given to people …

Computational Analysis Of The Body In European Fairy Tales, Scott Weingart, Jeana Jorgensen
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This article explores how digital humanities research methods can be used to analyze the representations of gendered bodies in European fairy tales, a flexible and pervasive genre that has influenced Western children's education and acquisition of gender identity for centuries. By blending the theoretical and methodological concerns of folkloristics, gender studies, and large-scale scientific research, this article demonstrates the utility of cross-disciplinary collaboration in asking traditional questions of traditional materials with new methods. To facilitate this research, a hand-coded database listing every reference to a body or body part in the 233 fairy tales was created. Analysis revealed strong indications …
