In the early 19th century, some Europeans started seeing the stories and songs of illiterate peasants as folklore to be collected, preserved, and perhaps transformed into new literature, art, and music. These folktales, such as legends of vampires, continue to inspire artists. The idea of folklore has expanded to include the shared practices or utterances of any group with at least one linking factor, including latrinalia (wall writings in a public bathroom). Sources include folklore from German, English, Russian, and Yiddish sources, and theoretical essays. Students collect living folklore, and analyze and present it.

DLCL 224: Workshop in Poetics
The Workshop in Poetics is concerned with the theoretical and practical dimensions of the reading and criticism of poetry. During the three years of its existence, the Workshop has become a central venue at Stanford enabling participants to share their individual projects in a general conversation outside of disciplinary and national confinements. The two dimensions that the workshop sees as urgent are: poetics in its specificity as an arena for theory and interpretive practice, and historical poetics as a particular set of challenges for the reader and scholar.
