- W1542001487 abstract "The aim of the study is to move away from the antiquarian bias ofprevious work on the folklore of the supernatural in order to shed lighton present day attitudes and concepts. In the past, folkiorists havedone very little to collect their own culture, or even to recognise itsforms. This has been particularly true of British work on ghost traciitions - the tendency of all but a very few scholars has 'been to retireto the library and compile collections of legends. The present studyeschews this approach in favour of fieldwork.There are three main aspects of the work. The early chapters providea resume of texts on the supernatural, from 1572 to the present day,seeking (i) to construct a cultural history of the concept of the ghost,and (ii) to evaluate the usefulness of these texts to the folklorist orhistorian of ideas. The central part of the thesis concentrates onpresenting a picture of contemporary supernatural beliefs, drawing ondata collected in informal interviews with 120 mainly elderly peopleresident in Gatley, a suburb of Manchester. Two central concepts areanalysed - that is, ideas about ghosts, and about knowledge of the future.A third chapter describes miscellaneous beliefs (telepathy, UFOs, 'Luck',and mediumistic powers). In the later chapters attention is drawn to themanner of the storytelling through which these beliefs are expressed.The structure of inemorate is discussed. with particular reference to theLabovian model of personal experience stories. Finally the performativestyle of the storyteller is analysed in detail to show the basic linguistic resources a storyteller may call upon when structuring privateexperience into public narrative." @default.
