This study on Kapsiki-Higi tales compares two corpuses of stories
collected over two generations. In this oral setting, folktales
appear much more dynamic than usually assumed, depending on genre,
performance and the memory characteristics of the tales themselves.
In northeastern Nigeria the author collected these tales twice with
a time gap of two generations, in order to assess the dynamics of
this oral transmission. The comparison between the two corpuses
shows that folktales are a much more dynamic cultural system than
is usually thought. These dynamics affect some types of tales more
than others, reflect social change and intergroup contact, but also
depend on characteristics of the tales themselves. Cognitive
approaches of memory shed light on these varieties of transmission,
as do performance aspects in tale telling, in particular
ideophones.
