Yin (City University of New York) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Join the Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies and the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University on Thursday, April 6 for a guest lecture on Dungan folk narratives by Kenneth J. Yin (City University of New York). Dungan Folktales and Legends: The Sino-Muslim Folkloric Narrative Tradition of Central Asia with Kenneth J. Yin (City University of New York) Thursday, April 6, 2:30PM - 3:40PM, Zoom Register here Abstract First migrating from northwest China to Russian Central Asia after the suppression of the Dungan Revolt (1862?C1877) under the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, the Dungan people boast a rich oral tradition, which served as an important breeding ground for the development of Dungan written literature in the Soviet period. This presentation discusses the findings of an in-depth structural and comparative analysis of Dungan folk narratives conducted in the second half of the twentieth century by a team of leading Soviet scholars comprising Russian sinologist Boris Riftin, Dungan writer and literary scholar Makhmud Khasanov, and Dungan historian Il??ias Iusupov. Primarily based on Dungan oral narratives recorded between 1951 and 1974 in the Soviet Central Asian republics of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, the study indicates that Dungan folk narratives are deeply rooted in Chinese storytelling traditions but also exhibit substantial Middle Eastern, East Asian, and Central Asian influence. Detailed findings of this study and the full texts of seventy-eight folk stories are available for the first time in an annotated English version by Kenneth J. Yin, under the title Dungan Folktales and Legends (2021), volume 16 in the Peter Lang International Folkloristics series. About the Speaker Kenneth J. Yin teaches modern languages, literatures, and linguistics at the City University of New York. His scholarly work centers on the Dungan literature and culture of Central Asia, as well as the Tungus literatures and cultures of North Asia??namely Siberia and the Russian Far East??with a focus on Udege, Nanai, and Evenk. A graduate of Cornell University and Georgetown University, he has received fellowships and awards from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the City University of New York. He is the author of Dungan Folktales and Legends (Peter Lang, 2021) and Mystical Forest: Collected Poems and Short Stories of Dungan Ethnographer Ali Dzhon (Peter Lang, 2023). Co-sponsored by the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University.

Vance Byrd Presidential Associate Professor of German University of Pennsylvania [cid:image003.png at 01D9686D.F38B58E0] April 13, 2023 2:30-4:30pm Derby Hall 029 main campus The United States has been an important market for illustrated German literature in translation since the late eighteenth century, and these editions helped readers forge and maintain cultural and linguistic bonds to the broader German diasporic community. In this presentation, I will investigate what it meant for a prominent publisher of European literature to reach American readers in the final years of World War II. I will focus on the publication history and visual aesthetics of Helen and Kurt Wolff?s Pantheon Books, Inc., editions of Grimm?s Fairy Tales (1944) and Stifter?s Rock Crystal (1945), to set into relief how these illustrated nineteenth-century German children?s tales were part of a political market strategy presenting universal moral values and innocence at a moment when the world did not look that way anymore. I will ask what it meant to be determined publishers in the midst of despair and how their complicated decisions during this pivotal period smoothed the way for German literature in the post-World War II American market.

Amelia names the genre and traces its arc from The X-Files to Buffy to a wider body of television narrative. Integrating approaches from folklore and popular culture studies, she makes a case for this commercial genre not just as drawing on folklore, but as folklore in itself: negotiating rhetorics of belief and their consequences; imagining social Others and legitimating violence against them; transmitting and revising cultural knowledge. She also shows us this television genre as metacultural practice that competes with our own work as scholars: collecting, archiving, and assessing folkloric knowledge, and thereby constructing cultural authority for itself and its fans.
