Links: Resources for Folklorists Journals Other Link Sites Folklore Web Sites Events: Folklore Roundtable Contact: The Folklore Archives Graduate Advisor University of California, Berkeley Folklore Program The Folklore Program at the University of California, Berkeley trains intellectual leaders in folkloristics for the twenty-first century. We seek to provide a deep, critical, and theoretically-informed reading of folklore scholarship from the seventeenth century through the present. We urge students to develop a particular field of expertise in folkloristics. At the same time, we advise our graduate students to develop strong grounding in another discipline or multidisciplinary perspective, such as race and ethnic studies, performance studies, science studies, rhetoric, narrative theory, ethnomusicology, materiality, womens and queer theory, and others, in order to bring new perspectives to their work in folkloristics. We are truly international in scope, seeking to challenge the Eurocentric roots of folkloristics by bringing in critiques and alternatives from outside the Euro-American orbit, particularly through study with leading folklorists from around the world, who come to Berkeley each year as visiting faculty members. In addition to the M.A. in Folklore, we offer the option of concurrent enrollment in a PhD program in a humanities or social science discipline and the M.A. in folklore. For information on how to apply for concurrent enrollment click here.

On Bats, Rabies, Reporters, and the Wrath of the State:Biomedical Knowledge and Political Engagementin an Epidemic of "Unknown Disease"

Charles Briggs, Department of AnthropologyClara Mantini-Briggs, Department of DemographyNovember 10, 2008160 Kroeber Hall 4 pm – 6 pm In July of 2008, UCB anthropologist Charles L. Briggs and public health physician Clara Mantini-Briggs stumbled into an epidemic of an unknown, 100% fatal disease in the Delta Amacuro rainforest of eastern Venezuela. Working closely with indigenous leaders, they documented an outbreak of bat-borne rabies. Charting encounters with a disease, racial inequality, the international press, and the hostility of a pro-poor, pro-indigenous revolutionary state, the talk explores the limits of anthropological and public health knowledge in a situation in which it could make a difference and that sharply defined the limits of scholarship and activism. Presented by the Department of Anthropology 290 Lecture Series and the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. For more information, see the full event description.
