Chante Luna and the commemoration of actual events

Article Abstract:

The case of Chante Luna offers prime material for sorting out what Americo Paredes calls the folklorization of actual events as well as the object of the present exercise, the commemoration of actual events. The case of Chante Luna offers valuable insight into how people process history, and how they make use of traditional expressive forms to cope with the often disconcerting swirl of actual events.

Article Abstract:

Hunting for many Utah and Idaho hunters primarily form sport, but they often consider the camaraderie equally, if not important than, the hunting activity. The hunting traditions will continue, and the controversies also, with thousands of Utah and Idaho hunters waiting for the thrill of the hunt, and the anticipation of feats to follow.
