Title: films and folkloric analysis? Is that an oxymoron?
Review: The author cannot be serious. Films and documentaries are the stuff of elite (eg, Fellini) and popular culture (eg, Spielberg). Folklore, on the other hand, is something that certainly can be documented and even the folklore performance can be captured (perhaps) with hidden cameras and directors unseen. But isn't folklore the stuff of tradition that is generally untainted by the majority culture? So why even try to apply the folklore science "analysis" to the world of films and videos in the first place. I don't get it. Do other readers get it?
