Delve into a study that illuminates supernatural beliefs and vibrant folklore in a French Newfoundland community, where everyday exchanges are imbued with magical narratives. Merging insights from linguistic anthropology and discourse analysis, it reveals how deeply human context sustains these enduring traditions.
This study focuses on the supernatural belief tradition of a French Newfoundland community. Using a combination of descriptive and analytic techniques from the fields of folklore, linguistic anthropology and discourse analysis, Butler explores the community's use of folklore in everyday social interaction. He relates it to the human context which is ultimately responsible for its creation and continued relevance.
