Description - A World of Others' Words by Richard Bauman
Drawing on his work in Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, North America,
Ghana, and Fiji, linguistic anthropologist and folklorist Richard
Bauman presents a series of ethnographic case studies that offer a
sparkling look at intertextuality as communicative practice.
A fascinating perspective on intertextuality: the idea that
written and spoken texts speak to one another, e.g. through genre
or allusions.
Presents a series of ethnographic case studies to illustrate
the topic.
Draws on a broad range of oral performances and literary
records from across the world.
The author?s introduction sets a framework for the
analysis of genre, perform and intertextuality.
Shows how performers blend genres, e.g., telling stories about
riddles or legends about magical verses, or constructing sales
pitches.
