本次美国代写主要为文学相关的essay
本课程中的所有内容都以您完成自己的民俗项目为基础。在……的最后
在课堂上，您将提交一份 6-7 页（双倍行距等）的论文，要求您收集
一些民间传说并分析该材料。
该项目将有三个选项：
A. 与传统承载者就他们的民间传说进行民族志访谈并分析
使用课堂上讨论的分析框架进行面试
B. 收集至少 3 个特定流派或民俗类型的例子，并比较和
根据课堂上讨论的分析框架对比这些例子
C. 参加“民间传说实习”，在那里您可以学习一项民间技能（即针法、如何
做传统菜，如何雕刻，如何演奏民歌等）并分析和
反思与课堂上讨论的民俗概念相关的经验
显然，这篇论文不仅仅是对民间传说的描述，因为它包括分析和/或
反思你收集或做的事情如何与课堂概念和分析框架相关。
论文将根据所收集材料的质量和论文的质量进行评分
分析。
重要的是要注意，这些选项中的每一个都需要一些民间传说元素
收集和记录。在基于面试的选项中，你的面试将是你
收集/记录。在基于流派/收藏的选项中，您必须至少拥有三个不同的
示例，以便您可以考虑该集合中的模式。在民俗实践中，您的
应该以某种方式记录学习经验。从这个意义上说，你们都在练习
民俗实地考察和民俗分析，这就是为什么这个项目不仅仅是一篇论文。
下面，我为三个选项中的每一个都写了一个提示。你会选择你想要的选项
喜欢在第 4 周完成并提出该选项（作为您的简短作业 4）。那我会
批准您的主题，然后您可以在课程的最后几周开始研究该主题。
选项 A：民族志访谈
对于此选项，您将选择一个传统或一个民间团体进行调查，您将
至少进行一次 30 分钟以上的采访来调查这一传统。传统可能是一个
探索具有使用、创造或传承模式或类似习俗的民间物品
你在假期做什么。您可能想检查家庭饮食或与某人交谈
谁是一位技艺精湛的民间艺术家（绗缝师、雕刻师等）。也许你想捕捉一些家庭
父母或祖父母的故事，或与同事谈论您的职业
民间传说——如何处理这项任务有很多选择。
Everything in this course builds up to you completing your own folklore project. At the end of
the class, you will submit a 6-7 page (double-spaced, etc.) paper that will require you to collect
some folklore and analyze that material.
This project will have three options:
A. Conduct an ethnographic interview with a tradition bearer on their folklore and analyze
the interview using the analytical frameworks discussed in class
B. Collect at least 3 examples of a particular genre or type of folklore and compare and
contrast those examples according to the analytical frameworks discussed in class
C. Undergo a “folklore practicum” where you learn a folk skill (i.e. needlecraft, how to
make a traditional dish, how to carve, how to play a folk song, etc.) and analyze and
reflect upon that experience in relation to the folklore concepts discussed in class
Clearly, the paper is more than just a description of folklore as it includes an analysis and/or
reflection on how what you collect or do relates to class concepts and analytical frameworks.
Essays will be graded on both the quality of the material collected, and the quality of the
analysis.
It is important to note that each of these options requires some element of folklore
collection and documentation. In the interview-based option, your interview will be what you
collect/document. In the genre/collection based option, you’ll have to have at least three different
examples so you can consider patterns within that collection. In the folklore practicum, your
experience of learning should be documented somehow. In this sense, you’re both practicing
folklore fieldwork and folklore analysis, which is why this project is more than just a paper.
Below, I have written a prompt for each of the three options. You will pick which option you’d
like to complete and propose that option in Week 4 (as your Short Assignment 4). I will then
approve your topic, and you can start pursuing that topic in the last couple weeks of class.
OPTION A: Ethnographic Interview
For this option, you will choose either a tradition or a folk group to investigate, and you will
conduct at least one 30+ minute interview to investigate that tradition. The tradition could be an
exploration of a folk object that has a pattern of use, creation, or passing down, or a custom like
what you do around the holidays. You may want to examine family foodways or talk to someone
who’s a masterful folk artist (quilter, carver, etc.). Maybe you want to capture some family
stories from your parents or grandparents, or talk to a co-worker about your occupational
folklore—there are many options for how to approach this assignment.
