In Implied Nowhere: Absence in Folklore Studies, authors Shelley
Ingram, Willow G. Mullins, and Todd Richardson talk about things
folklorists don't usually talk about. They ponder the tacit aspects
of folklore and folklore studies, looking into the unarticulated
expectations placed upon people whenever they talk about folklore
and how those expectations necessarily affect the folklore they are
talking about. The book's chapters are wide-ranging in subject and
style, yet they all orbit the idea that much of folklore, both as a
phenomenon and as a field, hinges upon unspoken or absent
assumptions about who people are and what people do. The authors
articulate theories and methodologies for making sense of these
unexpressed absences, and, in the process, they offer critical new
insights into discussions of race, authenticity, community,
literature, popular culture, and scholarly authority. Taken as a
whole, the book represents a new and challenging way of looking
again at the ways groups come together to make meaning. In addition
to the main chapters, the book also includes eight "interstitials,"
shorter studies that consider underappreciated aspects of folklore.
These discussions, which range from a consideration of knitting in
public to the ways that invisibility shapes an internet meme, are
presented as questions rather than answers, encouraging readers to
think about what more folklore and folklore studies might discover
if only practitioners chose to look at their subjects from angles
more cognizant of these unspoken gaps.
