Subject: Yiddish Folk Song: Poetics and Music
Supervisor: Prof. Edwin Seroussi, Prof. Galit Hasan-Rokem
Abstract: The aim of the present study is to provide a general frame of reference for understanding basic characteristics of the Yiddish folksong. The documented song-corpus is examined from three points of view, dictated by the quality of the existing documentation, by the present state of the Yiddish folksongs' tradition, and by the state of research: typological, historical and the inner-cultural perspective.
