Abstract
  • Madison County Project explores the intertwined traditions of ballad singing and documentary work in Madison County, North Carolina. These dual traditions were investigated through interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with multiple generations of singers, filmmakers, photographers, and members of the cultural community. A focus is placed on the youngest generation of ballad singers, and how their modern lives interact with their traditional art form. This project culminates in a triad of research products including this text, a documentary film, and a multimedia website. These three-taken independently and working in tandem-allow for broad conversations around key cultural and social issues, encourage widely diverse audiences in such conversations, and provide a theatre in which to explore collaborative ethnography.
