http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/hslit/session5/aw/work1.html

Extractions: In "Railroad Bill, A Conjure Man," Ishmael Reed explores the changeable nature of a legendary figure. The poem, a non-traditional ballad, describes how Bill can change himself into different forms to escape entrapment: either entrapment in a specific time and place, or entrapment in a single identity. "High John de Conquer" from Zora Neale Hurston's The Sanctified Church , a collection of essays on African American folklore, legend, and popular mythology is a literary interpretation of an African American folktale which celebrates a trickster figure. (Both Railroad Bill and High John are legendary characters who appear in numerous stories and poems.) In Hurston's work, as in Reed's poem, the trickster appears as a kind of spirit a "whisper" that inhabits a body and a community when the need arises. For Hurston, the trickster is the gleeful spirit of laughter and triumph, imported to African American culture directly from Africa. Through her celebration of High John and, in particular, of the way that High John's story brings hope and a spirit of rebellion to those in need, Hurston reflects on the revolutionary importance of folkloric tales and oral tradition.

Extractions: St. Edward's University, Austin, Texas Introduction Task Genres Process ... Call and Response According to Sven Birkerts in Literature: the Evolving Canon who recognizes a world on the threshhold of a new millenium and says: We seem to be entering a new historical period, one that is bent upon questioning the status of all definitions and former certainties....Words like 'socialism, communism, and European,' will soon no longer mean what they once did," literature no longer means what it once did. This need for change is fueled by the growing desire to create a world in one's own image made possible by a technology that empowers everyone. Deep within such an exciting evolving reality is the inevitable struggle with past definitions and established expectations "...our colleges and universities are embroiled in tense shouting matches over curricula. At issue is the 'canon,' that body of works that many believe form the necessary basis for an education. This is certainly not a new phenomenon, but it takes on a new urgency as a shrinking world moves into the 21st Century with the potential to change exponentially at the speed of light. No longer can tradition absorb change as it has done so effectively in the past when the definition of 'evolution' implied generations of time. Birkerts describes very simply what is at stake
