Performing Folk Songs is the first full-length volume to explore
English folk singing from the perspective of performance studies.
Using archival sources, family repertoire and recorded performances
of interviewees, this book argues that archives and repertoires are
produced in sensory environments and through embodied encounters.
Autoethnography, sensory ethnography, life-writing and landscape
writing are used to explore the affective and emotional aspects of
learning songs ‘by heart’. Drawing on her experience as a folk
singer, Bennett contributes to discourse on English folk traditions
in the 21st century and brings performance scholarship to the
contemporary folk song resurgence. In analyzing the performance of
English folk songs in the affective context of the archive and the
landscape, the book engages with and contributes original insights
to scholarship on folk music, performance studies, affect theory,
cultural geography and intangible cultural heritage studies.
