	Columbia Journal of American Studies - The Folklore Scholarship of Alan Dundes and the New American Studies
		Dundes provided an exemplary use of this theory with his article “Pecking Chickens: A Folk Toy as a Source for the Study of Worldview,” in which he meticulously analyzed regional and national variations, that is oicotypes, of a common hand-held toy made up of several wooden chickens, which peck when triggered by a simple mechanism.
		Dundes also consistently emphasized the transnational nature of folkloric data; he noted to his students that it takes only one bilingual person for an item of folklore to cross national and linguistic borders, and he criticized anthropologists for basing their theories of cultural specificity on folklore that exists simultaneously in multiple cultures (“Alan Dundes” 12).
		Dundes steadily negotiated the borders of folkloristics with every single publication and speech; yet, his scholarly rigor not only put folkloristics on the intellectual map throughout the second half of the 20th century, but also contributed to the full internationalization of the discipline.

		Alan completed his doctoral studies in 1962 and that fall joined the English Department faculty at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
		Alan contributed significantly as well to internationalization of folkloristics by finding out who the leading folklorists in foreign countries were, corresponding and meeting with them, reading their works, and familiarizing American folklore students and scholars with their ideas and concerns.
		For the most part, Alan was able to accomplish what he did, and impact his discipline the ways he did, because he was brilliant, curious, organized, self-directed, determined, energetic, daring, uninhibited, astute, and jovial.

		Dundes had a series of books devoted to what he called "Urban folklore in the paperwork empire." It examines the attitudes and humor of the office place, and explains why Scott Adams’ "Dilbert" is such a resounding success as a cartoon strip.
		Dundes wrote, "It is not a question of ‘making’ the bible folklore; it is folklore." This upset the Christian right (social conservatives who like to hit people over the head with their god), who apparently were unaware of the fact that folklore doesn’t necessary imply falsity.
		Dundes was a keen observer who realized that ballads were folklore, and that the tune in a ballad was every bit as significant as the lyrics.

		Dundes and Pagter clearly demonstrate the existence of folklore in the modern urban technological world and refute the notion that folklore reflects only the past.
