The accomplishments and enduring influence of renowned
anthropologist Dell Hymes are showcased in these essays by leading
practitioners in the field. Hymes (1927-2009) is arguably best
known for his pioneering work in ethnopoetics, a studied approach
to Native verbal art that elucidates cultural significance and
aesthetic form. As these essays amply demonstrate, nearly six
decades later ethnopoetics and Hymes's focus on narrative
inequality and voice provide a still valuable critical lens for
current research in anthropology and folklore. Through
ethnopoetics, so much can be understood in diverse cultural
settings and situations: gleaning the voices of individual Koryak
storytellers and aesthetic sensibilities from century-old wax
cylinder recordings; understanding the similarities and differences
between Apache life stories told 58 years apart; how Navajo punning
and an expressive device illuminate the work of a Navajo poet;
decolonizing Western Mono and Yokuts stories by bringing to the
surface the performances behind the texts written down by scholars
long ago; and keenly appreciating the potency of language
revitalization projects among First Nations communities in the
Yukon and northwestern California. Fascinating and topical, these
essays not only honor a legacy but also point the way forward.
