Dace Bula
I studied Philology at the University of Latvia. In 1998, defended PhD thesis "Nation of Singers: Folklore and National Ideology". My research interests and publication history have moved from the study of folklore and nationalism to the history and theory of folklore studies to festivals and post-socialist condition. Currently, I work in the framework of ecocriticism and environmental humanities, studying eco-narratives, oral and written.

Papers by Dace Bula
folklorists who were active in the 1920s—40s and whose fates after the World War II differed dramatically (apart from Pēteris Šmits who passed away in 1938). Those who stayed in Latvia—Anna Bērzkalne, Pēteris Birkerts, Jānis Alberts Jansons, and Emilis Melngailis—had to find a middle ground between their past scholarly endeavors and the realities of the Soviet present. Those who fled—Kārlis Straubergs, Ludis Bērziņš, and Arveds Švābe—sought to continue their scholarly careers in exile, despite being disconnected from their academic milieus and source materials.
