Editorial - Australian Folklore: A Yearly Journal of Folklore Studies - An issue dealing specifically with regional outreaches and reflections

In more recent issues of Australian Folklore, the longer - and so folk discipline-surveying editorials as included therein - have elected to take stock of the larger international field of research and publication of both folklore, and of more obviously of other presentation of folkloric materials; and they have sought, quite regularly, to comment on trends, interests, and re-visitings beyond the more localised / focussed research 'Australian' work as was largely the main focus for our journal, as of earlier years. This present and somewhat delayed issue for 2013 is, therefore, notable in its contents for several such reasons.
