Abstract
Abstract By applying an empirical, posthumanist and Stimmung-centred approach, I examine Southern Kashubian folklore from the perspective of a mostly overlooked actor: the sand. I first reread Kashubian folktales, lyrics and ethnographic texts focusing on sand motifs, asking what role sand plays in Kashubian narrative culture and what Stimmung (mood, attunement or atmosphere) induced by sand is inscribed in these texts. Based on my empirical material gathered in fieldwork, I then explain where sand is located in everyday knowledge and experience. Finally, I interpret the results by highlighting the correlations between sand and Stimmung, asking to what extent sand is not only a matter of tuning but is also an attuned matter, a concept developed in the course of the investigation.
