Legend Theory as an Analytical Category in Folkloristics
This talk will look at the critical category of 'legend' with the intention of illustrating how this genre is one of the most influential narrative form that can have devastating effects. Drawing on empirical data, drawn from primary fieldwork, this talk will analyse the unifying as well as divisive function of folklore, with special emphasis to the folklore of wealth among the Khasi tribe.
