Placing special emphasis on women's rituals, she looks at the relationship between the framework and organization of indigenous genres and the reception of folklore performance. The regional repertoire under examination presents a strikingly female-centered world. Female performers and characters are active, articulate, and frequently challenge or defy expectations of gender. Men also confound traditional gender roles. Flueckiger includes the translations of two full performance texts of narratives sung by female and male storytellers respectively.Myth and poetics.FolkloreIndiaChhatt̄isgarhWomenIndiaChhattīsgarhFolkloreSOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & MythologybisacshFolklore, myths & legendsFolkloreWomenSOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology.398/.0954/3Flueckiger Joyce Burkhalter960794Nagy Gregoryctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910272353403321Gender and Genre in the Folklore of Middle India2454906UNINA
