ÖZ: Günümüzde müstakil bir disipliner yetkinliğe ulaşmış bulunan halkbiliminin -zaman zaman ve yanlış bir şekilde-çeşitli disiplinlere bağımlı ya da onların bir alt çalışma alanı imiş gibi değerlendirilebildiği görülmektedir. Bunda, halkbiliminin inceleme alanına giren konuları derlemek, incelemek ve çözümlemek için kullanabileceği kendine özgü kuram ve yöntemleri oluşturmakta diğer disiplinlere görece hayli geç kalmasının da etkisi büyük olmalıdır. Bu algının oluşmasında yine, halkbiliminin inceleme alanına giren konuların uzun yıllar boyunca, farklı disiplinlerde uzmanlaşmış araştırmacılar tarafından çalışılması da etkili olmuştur. Bireyin ve toplumun kültürel üretim ve tüketim biçimlerini çeşitli yönleriyle ve kendine özgü yöntemlerle inceleyen halkbiliminin, insan ve toplum bilimlerinin diğer disiplinleri ile yakından ilişkili olduğu tartışmadan uzak bir konudur. Hatta halkbilimini, inceleme alanına giren konuların incelenip çözümlenmesi süreçlerinde disiplinlerarası etkileşimlere en açık disiplinlerden biri olarak tanımlamak yanlış olmayacaktır. Dolayısıyla da müstakil bir disiplin olarak kendi kuramsal zeminini günden güne güçlendirerek konu kadrolarını genişleten halkbilimi ile diğer insan ve toplum bilimleri ile sosyal bilimler disiplinleri arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşimlerin kuramsal bir çerçevede tartışılması artık bir gereklilikten çok zorunluluk halini almıştır. Bu dikkatten hareketle çalışmada, halkbilimini disiplinlerarası kılan temel nitelikler ile halkbilimi çalışmalarında disiplinlerarası yaklaşımlardan nasıl yararlanılabileceği gibi konular üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışmada ayrıca, halkbiliminin müstakil bir disiplin olarak diğer kültür bilimi disiplinlerine nasıl katkı sağlayabileceği de tartışılmıştır. Böylece, kültür bilimleri alanında disiplinlerarasılık konusu, halkbilimi çalışmaları örnekleminde çeşitli yönleriyle değerlendirilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Halkbilimi, disiplinlerarasılık, kuram ve yöntem, nedensellik. ABSTRACT:There is little doubt that folklore, which has generally attained a sense of selfdisciplinary competence, can actually be regarded as being dependent on various disciplines or as a sub-branch of other fields of study. There within this, the fact that folklore has emerged relatively late in comparison to other disciplines therefore has a considerable impact upon how it forms its own unique theories and methods in which it uses compile, examine, and analyze topics that fall within its broad umbrella. This perception has also been influenced by the fact that the subjects within the field of folklore have long been studied by researchers specializing in other disciplines. Folklore examines the cultural production and absorption of both individuals and societies alike from various angles using its own unique methodology, and yet is closely related to other disciplines that fall under the humanities and social sciences. In fact, it would not be wrong to define folklore as being one of the most open to interdisciplinary  Bu makale, Toplum ve Kültür Araştırmaları Derneği (TOKÜAD)...

“…Perhaps the most revealing biblical examples of folklore in context are scenes of proverb performance. The contributions of folklorists including Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett (1973), Alan Dundes (1975), Wolfgang Mieder (2008, and Galit Hasan-Rokem (1990) have encouraged scholars of biblical wisdom literature to appreciate important aspects of the Bible as folklore.…”

“…His work with proverbs and riddles has figured prominently in biblicist Carole Fontaine's study of biblical wisdom genres (Fontaine 1982). She and Claudia Camp (Fontaine and Camp 1990), with whom she collaborated in an article on Samson's riddle, explored the morphology of biblical wisdom genres and then, influenced by Dundes, Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, and other folklorists, examined contexts for the deployment of these orally rooted forms and the meanings they convey as now situated and contextualized in biblical settings (see Dundes 1975;Kirshenblatt-Gimblett 1973;Mieder 2008).…”

This essay explores the rich interactions between the fields of folklore and biblical studies over the course of the 20th century until the present. The essay argues for the continued relevance of folklore and related fields to an appreciation of ancient Israelite cultures and their artistic inventions. It concludes with several case studies that underscore the fruitful realizations that emerge from this sort of interdisciplinary humanistic work.

“…This definition points out that people's behavior is primarily influenced by a set of beliefs and values that are often revealed in the folklore of each and every culture. Mieder (2008), the widely recognized world's leading paremiologist, argues that proverbs are the most concise form of verbal folklore genres. They are the product of several cultural observations and experiences that proved to be wise and sound, and their main aim is to reveal a message passed along from one generation to another.…”

“…They deal with issues that border on the values, norms, institutions, and artifacts of the society across the whole gamut of people's experience. They are used to support arguments, to provide lessons and instruction, and to stress shared values (Mieder, 2008). Lau et al (2004) argue that since proverbs are said to be both linguistic items (possessing concrete elements of verbal and logical structure) and behavioral (possessing motives, strategies, and outcomes), it is then imperative to discuss not only what they are in linguistic and structural senses but also how proverbs can influence or reflect the social behavior of the society.…”

The U.S. Folklore, Proverbs, and Economic Behavior

ABSTRACT. Social scientists strongly believe that the cultural values and norms motivate, guide, and influence the behavior of each and every society. However, studying the relationship between culture and behavior, notably economic behavior, is not very popular in the literature, mainly because of the vague and broad definition of the culture. Thereby this paper provides a narrow definition of the culture as "the set of beliefs and values that are often revealed in folklore of the country, where proverbs are the most concise form of the verbal folklore genres." Using this definition, the paper attempts to relate several types of economic behaviors such as intertemporal choice of consumption, investment, risk taking, work and education, to a set of popular sayings, idioms and proverbs that are circulated in the American society. The paper finds that the observed economic behavior in the U.S. is influenced to an extent by the American proverbs and sayings.
