acquisitions: Acquisition Sara L. M. Davis donated this collection to the American Folklife Center on February 28, 2006. The collection was initially processed by Sarah Bradley Leighton in the spring of 2006, continued by Judy Ng and Charlotte Cushman in November 2007. The finding aid begun in 2006 has been completed and encoded in 2008 by Nora Yeh.
scopecontent: Scope and Content This ethnographic collection is based on the original field work that anthropologist Sara L. M. Davis conducted in Sipsongpanna (Xishuangbanna in Chinese), Yunnan Province, China, and in Kengtung, Shang State, Burma [Myanmar], between 1997 and 2003. The multi-format materials in this collection document Tai Lüe religious rituals, epic oral narratives, popular songs and performances for tourists, as well as interviews with oral poets and popular singers. They consist of her field notes, audio and video recordings, graphic images in the form of photographs and slides, and books published in Yunnan. This research formed the basis of Davis’s book, Song and Silence: Ethnic Revival on China's Southwest Borders (Columbia University Press, 2005). Davis originally traveled to China's southwest borders to conduct doctoral research on ethnic minority folklore, focusing primarily on oral narrative poetry, known as Tai Lüe changkhap or skilled chants. (As used by Davis, changkhap may refer to the genre or to the performers or singers of changkhap.) She was based in the subtropical area of Sipsongpanna in the southwestern region of China, bordering Burma and Laos. Davis lived in Jinghong, the capital of this region, from 1997 to 1998 and made subsequent visits to the area through 2003. The political challenges of being in a border region of China were immediately evident, and Davis found that many people were initially reluctant to speak openly with her. Instead, she encountered government-sanctioned performances that were marketed primarily to tourists and did not reflect the traditions she had come to document. Davis's field notes offer considerable detail about her experiences staying in monasteries, attending local festivals, and making connections with people in the area. Her search for oral storytellers revealed a growing underground ethnic revival movement. The efforts of young Tai Lüe monks and activists were helping to fuel a resurgence of Tai Lüe Buddh…
