- W2520341063 abstract "While folklorists consider looking at the overlooked as a key contribution of the field, the history of folklore studies still holds many overlooked areas, issues, and people. The folklore work of Alta Fife offers an important complement and contrast to the contributions of her husband, Austin Fife, and other prominent folklorists of the mid-twentieth century. Although Austin only taught folklore courses at the end of his work as a French professor, his academic career is similar to the trajectories of other professionally trained scholars who established folklore studies as an academic field in the United States. My dissertation research on Stith Thompson's career concurred with discussions of professionalism and the linear academic career model that emerged in the United States from mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. However, some aspects of Thompson's career, such as the importance of mentors and collegiality, have not been adequately acknowledged in theories of academic professionalism. Four Symposia in Folklore, the report of the Midcentury International Folklore Conference, introduced me to the significance of collegiality in shaping Thompson's career (Rudy 2000). Collaborative work with national and international colleagues helped Thompson frame folklore studies as an important scholarly discipline deserving doctoral status. Thompson's references in Four Symposia to the collaboration of Austin and Alta Fife encourage me to investigate Alta's contributions to folklore studies in contrast to a highly professionalized, linear career model. While Thompson was trained in the English departments of several prominent universities around the country (Wisconsin, Berkeley, and Harvard), Alta Fife attended Utah State University but held no formal degrees. Thompson worked in libraries and archives to produce his type" @default.
