    Material Culture and Heritage Safeguarding in Southwest China
    (International Folklore Studies Center, 2021-09-16) Jackson, Jason Baird; Zhang, Lijun; Wuerxiya
    Drawing on six years of ethnographic investigation pursued collaboratively by U.S. and Chinese folklorists, museum professionals, and local cultural groups, this two-part symposium offers research reports on material culture and heritage policies in Southwest China. In keeping with the larger binational project from which the papers derive, some presentations will consider the intersection of these two topical domains. Cultural groups whose circumstances will be discussed include the Baiku Yao people of Nandan County (Guangxi), the Dong people of Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County (Guangxi) and Liping County (Guizhou), and the Bai of the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (Yunnan).

    Restricting the Public: The Problem of the Private in Somali Bantu groups
    (Folklore and Ethnomusicology Student Associations at Indiana University; The Ohio State University Folklore Student Association, 2009-03-27) Grady, Sandra
    For the Somali Bantu community settling at a public housing project in Columbus, Ohio, there is little evidence of privacy. Members of this group move in and out of each other’s homes with few boundaries. This paper considers one instance where such boundaries were drawn in an effort to illustrate that the dichotomy between public and private is not absolute; rather, it illustrates social hierarchies based on gender and age.

    Being and Seeming in Books I and II of Plato’s Republic and in the “Tale of Abu Kir and Abu Sir” of the Thousand Nights and a Night
    (Folklore and Ethnomusicology Student Associations at Indiana University; The Ohio State University Folklore Student Association, 2009-03-28) Schmadel, Fredericka A.
    Being and seeming have to do with the way perception affects justice in both the works compared. One approaches the matter from a theoretical basis, and the other is in itself a demonstration of how justice interacts with being and seeming, the issues of reputation and reality. With both works there is an understanding that there is a “real” reality underlying the everyday reality. Both show the power of perception in shaping destiny, and the unhappy fate of the just man who seems to be unjust,compared with the unjust man who seems to be just. Both use supernatural intervention to vindicate the just man, although in the “Tale of Abu Kir and Abu Sir” the witness factor of the folk also belatedly comes to his defense. The works compared have come to identical conclusions independently of each other.
