SUMMARY:The Poetics of Communication: Social and Cultural Functions of the 
 Traditional Song Fair of the Bai Ethnic People in Southwest China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Zhu Gang (Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of Ethnic Li
 terature\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Ch
 air/discussant: Gregory Nagy (Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek 
 Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature\, Department of the Cla
 ssics\, Harvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for 
 Chinese Studies\n\n\n	Departing from text-centered perspectives and based 
 on performance-centered approaches in folkloristics\, the poetics of commu
 nication considers verbal art as an oral performance and communicative eve
 nt. In this light\, this talk will seek to combine two interrelated paradi
 gms in approaching the Shibaoshan Song Fair as a living oral tradition: 1)
  ethnographic analysis of ballad singing in the situated context\; and 2) 
 cultural interpretation of the Song Fair as a speech event. As a theoretic
 al model\, the poetics of communication pays attention to the ethnopoetic 
 process of oral performance and the socio-cultural function of the context
 ualized communicative event\, trying to introduce new cross-disciplinary p
 erspectives to the contemporary methodology of research on oral traditions
