📢#OutNow in #OA: 'Play in a #Covid Frame: Everyday #Pandemic #Creativity in a Time of #Isolation', edited by Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop.
During the international #coronavirus #lockdowns of 2020–2021, millions of children, youth, and adults found their usual play areas out of bounds and their friends out of reach.
How did the #pandemic restrict everyday play and how did the pandemic offer new spaces and new content? This unique collection of essays documents the ways in which #communities around the world harnessed play within the limiting frame of #COVID19
#Folklorists Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop adopt a multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon, bringing together the insights of a #geographically and #demographically diverse range of #scholars, #practitioners, and #community #activists.

Hey #folklore peeps, I thought I'd have another go at searching out some of the #academic #folklorist types who tried to follow me when this instance had its little glitch a while back, as well as other lovely #folklorists who may have arrived here since.
Hit me up with suggestions...

I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.
#folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.
I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror
Other important things:
#surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #Berlioz
Live on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.

New #introduction as the previous one disappeared!
I'm a folklorist and writer, living in North Carolina, USA. My specialty is the cultural heritage of the American South, especially the Carolinas.
I direct the North Carolina Folklife Institute (ncfolk.org), a nonprofit dedicated to folklife documentation. I also edit the Old-Time Herald (oldtimeherald.org), a magazine about traditional music of #Appalachia and related styles. I play old-time #fiddle and #banjo.
I'm currently collaborating with historian and potter Hal Pugh on a history of folk #pottery in the South, to be published in fall 2024 by @uncpress . Hal and I also research Southern folk gravestone carving.
My family goes back centuries in the Carolinas and #Cuba, and #genealogy has been a project since childhood. I collect #78rpm records, as well as old photos (mainly of the pre-WWII Southern US).
Also love #cats, #ghoststories, and #reptiles.

I gather the reboosting of introductions is A Thing, particularly following the instance problems and lost content for recent days. I'll do that again in a minute, in the hope that I can find again all the #academic #folklorists who hove to while I couldn't authorise follow requests and now can't seem to be found anywhere...
This page of curated lists of #academics on Mastodon, links to groups and discipline specific instances/communities is incredibly helpful and worth bookmarking.
It throws up a familiar problem. #Folklore, as my wonderful MA tutor Julia Bishop put it, is something of a disciplinary Golden Child, at the margins/interstices of other disciplines, which has tended to marginalise its institutional position.
I'm not surprised, then, that there isn't a dedicated list for #folklorists or a #folkloristics-based instance. I'm quite comfortable with knowing that we're out there, getting on with our stuff, in other departments. But hooking up, seeing each other - that'd be a good thing too.

@lbheuschkel @juergen_hubert I came across the Piø article in a an Arv special biographical issue that was reprinted as 'Leading #Folklorists of the North', which became something of an orienting text for me as an MA student, and to which I still return frequently.
@paulcowdell Oh, excellent! #Folkloristics is indeed a useful marker for #folklorists. I'll endeavour to use it when making academic posts.
@jasonbairdjackson @johnlaudun My Folklore Society colleague @learnbyhand is around. And #folklorists definitely needs to be a thing.
That slow process of finding my people in a new environment continues. I've noticed a few #MaterialCulture people already - I've sometimes been teased by other #folklorists about being hostile to it, although that's not true - and a few references to #FolkloreThursday over on Twitter.
As these have coincided with one of the periodic recirculations of a piece I wrote for FT about what #folklore might mean, I thought it would be worth sharing it here, too.
I guess it's just another part of my #introduction, as well, but I don't see anything wrong with that.
