Don't miss out on this important lecture on deconstructing ethnography. Failing to See: A Meditation on Ethnography With David Todd Lawrence Thursday, February 9th 3 ? 4:30 pm 18th Ave Library 3rd Floor Join us for a lecture by David Todd Lawrence, English professor at the University of St. Thomas. In this presentation, Dr. Lawrence will explore and consider the possibilities of an unsettled and decolonized ethnography ? one that surrenders rather than conquers, that opens up to rather than comprehends, that fails rather than succeeds. David Todd Lawrence teaches African American literature and expressive culture, folklore studies, and cultural studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. He is co-author of When They Blew the Levee: Race, Politics, and Community in Pinhook, MO (2018), winner of the 2019 Chicago Folklore Prize. An ethnographer, folklorist, and literary scholar ? his work sits at the intersection of identity, narrative, community, and culture. Dr. Lawrence is also co-creator of the George Floyd and Anti-Racist Street Art Database and co-director of the Urban Art Mapping research project. Sponsored by the Center for Folklore Studies, the Center for the Study of Religion and the Humanities Institute. This event is free and open to the public.

With my very best wishes, Mirjam Mencej, on behalf of the EC of the ISFNR Abstract Postcards are emblematic objects of modernity and although they were invented in Europe in 1869 they spread rapidly across the globe . The "rediscovery" of the Holy Land in the West parallels the emergence of the postcard and various publishers produced full sets of postcards that were distributed also among people who never visited the sacred places. Based on research carried out in the David Pearlman Holy Land postcard collection of ca. 200,000 cards (donated in 2019 to the Folklore Research Center at the Hebrew University), I deliberately focus my talk on postcards from the 1960s and beyond when postcards lost their urgency and became mundane objects with writing conventions and postal practices that were already taken for granted. Narrating the Holy Land in this modern short folk-genre negotiates Biblical myths, political turmoils and everyday life, often in surprising and peculiar manners Short bio note Dr. Dani Schrire is a lecturer at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, affiliated with two graduate programs: the Program for Folklore and Folk-Culture Studies (head) and the Program in Cultural Studies. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's on February 28th from 4- 5:30 pm in the 18th Ave. Library Research Commons (3rd floor). John Lockwood Kipling wrote an ethnography of Indians? perceptions of free and wild animals before his son Rudyard Kipling?s world famous The Jungle Book (1894). John Kipling?s Beast and Man in India (1891) was a famous book of its time, but is long forgotten. He documented beliefs, practices, proverbs and stories that ordinary Indians assigned to almost all free and wild non-human animals of their habitat. Viewing them critically, appreciatively and quizzically, Kipling created a narrative of his own ? in words and in drawings - about Indians and their ecological worldview and its relationship with the British colonial state. This ?narrative relationship? between two perceptions of the non-human animals - that of Indians? and that of the British state in India - is a colonial contact zone where significant struggles, administrative action and legal battles took place, but it has received scant attention from historians, and none from folk narrative scholars. This paper presents a close textual analysis of J.L. Kipling?s work. Sponsored by the Center for Folklore Studies, the South Asian Studies Initiative (SASI) and the Humanities Institute. This event is free and open to the public.

[EXTERNAL] Dear Publoreans, As many of you know, the Folk Studies MA program at WKU has been suspended pending Board of Regents and SACSCOC (the university?s accrediting body) approval. The undergraduate program and the Kentucky Folklife Program continue, and we have opened two searches this week, for a Folklife Specialist and for a one-year instructor in Folk Studies. The Folklife Specialist works with KFP Director Brent Bjorkman to carry out all aspects of KFP programming. Joel Chapman has served admirably in this role since 2019 and has recently left to begin a new position as Program Associate in Folk and Traditional Arts with Mid-Atlantic Arts. While we are sorry to see him go, we are proud and excited for his next journey! The one-year full time instructor will teach in-person graduate courses next year such as Cultural Conservation, Museums, and others (undergrad and grad) depending on expertise. PhD or ABD required. Information on each position can be found here: Folklife Specialist: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wku.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp;jsessionid=59FA794B7201E44921F773DF2B3CB965?JOBID=159070__;!!KGKeukY!yXkuiFT5Cg5tURMJWMeh3qFjUiQKkuS5BI0KOAdFOa_FNaJTuPuWNyTLmDMmt_27iU7vg35MYbwgPkNKhVMgXOk$ Instructor I, Folk Studies (1 year): https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wku.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=158945&CNTRNO=4&TSTMP=1676649500395__;!!KGKeukY!yXkuiFT5Cg5tURMJWMeh3qFjUiQKkuS5BI0KOAdFOa_FNaJTuPuWNyTLmDMmt_27iU7vg35MYbwgPkNKO4BoV08$ Ann ------- Ann K.

It's on February 28th from 4- 5:30 pm in the 18th Ave. Library Research Commons (3rd floor). John Lockwood Kipling wrote an ethnography of Indians? perceptions of free and wild animals before his son Rudyard Kipling?s world famous The Jungle Book (1894). John Kipling?s Beast and Man in India (1891) was a famous book of its time, but is long forgotten. He documented beliefs, practices, proverbs and stories that ordinary Indians assigned to almost all free and wild non-human animals of their habitat. Viewing them critically, appreciatively and quizzically, Kipling created a narrative of his own ? in words and in drawings - about Indians and their ecological worldview and its relationship with the British colonial state. This ?narrative relationship? between two perceptions of the non-human animals - that of Indians? and that of the British state in India - is a colonial contact zone where significant struggles, administrative action and legal battles took place, but it has received scant attention from historians, and none from folk narrative scholars. This paper presents a close textual analysis of J.L. Kipling?s work. Sponsored by the Center for Folklore Studies, the South Asian Studies Initiative (SASI) and the Humanities Institute.

With an emphasis on service to Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600 students from 43 states and U.S. territories and more than 70 countries. Berea College admits students who are unable to afford tuition and provides all of them a no-tuition promise, valued at more than $178,000. Berea?s students excel in the College?s supportive yet demanding academic environment, and many are the first in their families to attend college. As one of only nine federally recognized Work Colleges, all Berea students are expected to work 10-12 hours weekly in various positions across campus. Berea College was again named one of the nation?s ?Best Institutions for Undergraduates to Earn their College Degree? in the 2022 edition of The Princeton Review?s book, The Best 387 Colleges. Berea also appeared on four other lists within the publication: Best Colleges in the Southeast; Best Value Colleges; Best Green Colleges; and Tuition Free Schools. Berea College is ranked #148by The Princeton Review?the highest-ranked Kentucky college, andthe#3 ?Best Value College? in the nation. Berea is one of only two private institutions ranked in the Top 10 for Value in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education (THE) 2022 College Rankings. The Washington Monthly ranks Berea College #13 among the nation?s liberal arts colleges, recognizing Berea for maintaining ?consistently high rankings thanks to their economic diversity, relatively strong graduation rates, and commitment to meeting students? financial need.? U.S. News and World Report Rankings lists Berea as #30 among National Liberal Arts Colleges, including ranking Berea #1 in Service Learning, #2 for Most Innovative Schools, #3 in Co-ops/Internships, #4 in First-year Experiences, and tied for #13 in Best Undergraduate Teaching.
