“…Handicraft is a practice associated with local traditions, and its status is emphasised and confirmed by the official label Sámi duodji by the Sámi Handicraft Foundation (Sameslöjdstiftelsen), which certifies the authenticity of artefacts created in line with Sámi traditional methods. As for storytelling, we know about its variations and can estimate how much it has changed over time (e.g., Cocq 2008;Toelken 1996). Legends and tales, as well as the art of storytelling itself as an oral practice, are inherently associated with Sámi traditions.…”

TradiTionalisaTion for reviTalisaTion:TradiTion as a concepT and pracTice in conTemporary sámi conTexTs Coppélie Cocqabstract: This article investigates the use of 'tradition' as a concept in indigenous discourses and as a label of practices within revitalisation processes, using the case of the Sámi in Sweden as an example. By approaching emic applications of the concept, the article aims at emphasising processual and consequential aspects of 'tradition'.This study illustrates how traditionalisation takes place through the processes of negotiation of identities, globalisation and authority, as well as through the institutionalisation of vernacular practices. It is a double-edged process, including and excluding, which is balanced with creative initiatives striving for keeping traditions alive rather than frozen in time.

“…Tellingly, the most recent definitions of fairy tale in a standard textbook, Folkloristics: An Introduction (Georges and Jones 1995), date to 1965, and the terms "fairy tale" and "Märchen" are used interchangeably in the discussion of the genre there. In contrast, the term "fairy tale" does not even appear in another introduction to the field, The Dynamics of Folklore (Toelken 1996).…”

fairy godfather: straparola, venice, and the fairy tale tradition (2002), a tract of around 150 pages, delivers a major thrust in a war that its author, Ruth B. Bottigheimer, has been waging at least since 1994. The book will not become a landmark in folkloristics in general, and only time will tell if it has a lasting impact even within fairy-tale studies. Yet although the book is sui generis, the views that it advocates and the controversies it arouses relate to important issues in folklore studies, beyond what the specificity of its title might suggest. Indeed, Bottigheimer's book opens up grand questions about the definition of fairy tale as a genre, about the status of the centuries-old search for the origins of fairy tales, about the relationships between orality and literacy, and about the relevance of recent directions in performance studies to folktale and fairy-tale studies. A still larger issue that this sort of book might induce folklorists to ponder is what place the study of folktales should occupy within folkloristics as a whole: folktales were foundational in the history of folklore studies in the nineteenth century and later, but as a lingering romantic nostalgia for folk culture has given way to a postmodern gusto for mass culture, it may be only natural that the tales have come to play a diminished role today.
