Homo narrans across the disciplines

Article Abstract:

The rise of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary studies has reaffirmed the essential value of the narrative, a basic material of folklore studies. As scholars trained in other disciplines make more use of the narrative, folklorists should share their views on this issue. Specifically, folklorists should become more involved with communications studies programs and publications.
