The Social Life of Stories: Narrative and Knowledge in the Yukon Territory
Julie Cruikshank
Why does storytelling continue to thrive? What can anthropologists learn from the structure and performance of indigenous narratives to become better academic storytellers? This work addresses these questions. It is a theoretical study of indigenous oral narratives, and moves beyond the text to explore the social significance of storytelling.
