Through family memories and documents preserved by her descendants, the author reconstructs the passionate work of a folklorist who worked under the tutelage of the master Rossend Serra i Pagès. A work that asserts the value of a unique ethnographic collection and the role of a woman in the preservation of Catalan popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoana Vidal, known in the family circle as \"l'àvia Juanita\" (Grandma Juanita), was a tireless collector of oral tradition. Armed with a notepad and pencil, she gathered a vast heritage of proverbs, songs, prayers, legends, and folk tales, which she faithfully delivered to her teacher, Rossend Serra i Pagès. For decades, this legacy remained within the family circle, without its importance being fully recognized. The author, Joana Vidal's grandson and a specialist in folklore and ethnology, revisits this material in light of evaluations by experts such as Carme Oriol and Josefina Roma. The result is a story that combines personal memory with academic rigor, making known the work of a folklorist who knew how to capture the essence of the popular culture of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompilation of Catalan oral tradition: proverbs, songs, prayers, legends, and folk tales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the folklorist and her fieldwork in the first half of the 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of women in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between master and student in the field of folklore studies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily memory and the revaluation of an ethnographic legacy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers interested in ethnography, folklore, and Catalan popular culture, as well as those who study the history of women and their contribution to knowledge.
