A Hebridean Folklore Macroscope: Collating and Analysing Gaelic Popular Culture from the Outer Hebrides

苏格兰国家盖尔语文化中心Sabhal Mor Ostaig UHI和在线民俗档案Tobar an Dualchais之间的一个合作项目将分析和解锁来自外赫布里底群岛的丰富的盖尔语民俗录音，将它们放在一个广泛的语料库中，这些语料库来自相同地区，可以追溯到1859年。该项目结合了侧重于个别物品、流派和告密者及其家谱联系的详细案例研究，以及广泛和深刻的时间视角，将使民俗学能够说明岛屿的历史、文化模式和趋势以及人口和环境背景。

A partnership project between Sabhal Mor Ostaig UHI, Scotland's National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture, and the online folklore archive Tobar an Dualchais, will analyse and unlock a rich collection of Gaelic-language folklore recordings from the Outer Hebrides, contextualising them within an extensive corpus of orally-derived material from the same areas dating back as far as 1859. Combining detailed case studies focusing upon individual items, genres, and informants and their genealogical connections, with wide-ranging, time-deep perspectives, the project will enable folklore to illustrate the islands' history, cultural patterns and trends, and demographic and environmental contexts.
