This book focuses on the performance of oral epics and explores the
significance of performance features for the interpretation of epic
poetry. The leading question of the book is how the socio-cultural
context of performance and the various performance elements
contribute to the meaning of oral epics. This is a question which
not only concerns epics collected from living oral tradition, but
which is also of importance for the understanding of the epics of
antiquity and the Middle Ages which originated and flourished in an
oral milieu. The book is based on fieldwork in the still vibrant
oral traditions of the Turkic peoples of Central Asia and Siberia.
The discussion combines fieldwork with theory; it is not limited to
Turkic epics but branches out into other oral traditions.
