<p class="xmsonormal">--to Dr. Amelia Mathews-Pett, who just defended her elegantly argued dissertation,
<i>Finding Televisual Folklore in the Supernatural Procedural</i>. Amelia names the genre and traces its arc from
<i>The X-Files</i> to <i>Buffy</i> to a wider body of television narrative. Integrating approaches from folklore and popular culture studies, she makes a case for this commercial genre not just as drawing on folklore, but as folklore in itself: negotiating
rhetorics of belief and their consequences; imagining social Others and legitimating violence against them; transmitting and revising cultural knowledge. She also shows us this television genre as metacultural practice that competes with our own work as scholars:
collecting, archiving, and assessing folkloric knowledge, and thereby constructing cultural authority for itself and its fans. Amelia’s committee consisted of Angus Fletcher, Merrill Kaplan, and, as co-chairs, Jared Gardner and Dorry Noyes.
