Tales, technology, and transformations: How different media environments shape the structure, style, and content of folk narratives. - 474 p.

Adviser: Mary Ellen Brown.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2008.

Under the impetus of mass mediation, folk narratives are in the process of developing into new forms that defy long-held oral/print and folklore/popular culture categories. This type of change, however, is not new to the field of folklore. In the past, writing and print modified oral folk narratives, just as today electronic and digital media are transforming written and printed folk narratives. This raises two related questions: how does the projection of a narrative through a particular medium affect the structure, style, and content of the narrative and how does the transfer of a folk narrative from one medium to another affect the folk narrative's status as a folkloric item? To answer these questions, this dissertation examines: (1) the purpose of narratives in general and folk narratives in particular; (2) the impact that past communication technologies have had on narratives and how those changes affected the form and content of folk narratives, and; (3) the impact that electronic and digital media is having on narratives in general, folk narratives in particular, and what this means for contemporary folk narrative studies. The dissertation concludes by exploring the significant role that folklorists can play in applying the analytic tools of folkloristics to what can be referred to as "postmodern folklore".
