Abstract:
Through an analysis of the ways South Georgia turpentiners use the past and tradition to actively express feelings in the present, the author demonstrates how rhetoric is employed in folk expression to both combat exoteric forces and express variable interpretations of the past and reveal in-group factionalism with concern to memory.
