- W2908686033 abstract "In recent decades, the popularity of hitchhiking in North America has undoubtedlydeclined. Nonetheless, the tradition persists—albeit residually—as people continue tohitchhike in both community based (short-distance) and long-distance contexts. Thisthesis draws on interviews with hitchhikers based in Newfoundland and Cape Breton,who have hitchhiked and picked up hitchhikers from the 1960s to the present day.Hitchhiking strategy is considered through the framework of occupational folklore, andthe use of such strategies for fostering trust is discussed. This thesis also examineshitchhiking personal experience narratives from a folkloristic standpoint, questioning whythese narratives are often assessed as “good” (i.e., engaging) narratives, while analyzinghow hitchhiking personal experience narratives might convey values and ideas abouttrust. Although a range of trusting attitudes is documented, the interviewed hitchhikersare generally positive about their experiences; many connect hitchhiking with adeepening sense of empathy, and exhibit counter-hegemonic attitudes towards reigning“cultures of fear.” While considering the influence of gender, location, and historicalcontext, this work aims to demonstrate the connection between hitchhiking folklore andtrust, on both an individual and societal level. By examining hitchhiking as a narrativeresource, rite of passage, and source of empathy, this thesis also shows how hitchhikersmay derive meaning from and situate their experiences in the greater context of theirlives." @default.
