John Holmes McDowell

John Holmes McDowell, professor emeritus at Indiana University, works at the confluence of language and culture in US and Latin American settings. His research topics range from the verbal play of children, in Children’s Riddling (IU Press, 1979); to Mexico’s ballad tradition, the corrido, in Poetry and Violence: The Ballad Tradition of Mexico’s Costa Chica (University of Illinois Press, 2000) and ¡Corrido! The Living Ballad of Mexico’s Western Coast (University of New Mexico Press, 2015); to the mythic consciousness of Andean peoples, in Sayings of the Ancestors: The Spiritual Life of the Sibundoy Indians (1989) and "So Wise Were Our Elders": Mythic Narratives of the Kamsá (1994), both published by the University Press of Kentucky. Lately, he is collaborating with the Diverse Environmentalisms Research Team (DERT) to explore the concept of ecosovereignty, in Performing Environmentalisms: Expressive Culture and Ecological Change (University of Illinois Press, 2021, co-edited with Katey Borland, Rebecca Dirksen, and Sue Tuohy).
