Publications

Most of my published work has concentrated on the relationship between film and folklore and perceptions about traditional expressive behavior as revealed by filmmakers. In addition to numerous articles, my books include:
Folklore/Cinema: Popular Film as Vernacular Culture (co-edited), 2007
Documenting Ourselves: Film, Video, and Culture (1998), the first in-depth study of f    folkloristic films as a genre of documentary film.
Chainsaw Sculptor: The Art of J. Chester Armstrong (1995)
I also am the co-editor of "Film and Folklore," a special double issue of Western Folklore (2006)
