The class meets on Tuesdays from 1:50-4:50. Description below; feel free to email me with any questions. Happy New Year, Galey English 7872: Language and Place (Special Topics in English Linguistics) Spring 2023 Galey Modan (modan.1 at osu.edu) Tues 1:50-4:50 This interdisciplinary course addresses how humans use language to imbue space with social meaning, turning space into place. We will investigate topics such as media representations of gentrification, catcalling and gendered rights to space, linguistic encoding of spatial relations, linguistic landscapes (written language in the built environment), jumping scale, and race, accent and local identity. The class will also include a brief introduction to discourse analysis. Reading materials are drawn from the fields of sociolinguistics, urban and linguistic anthropology, and cultural geography, with an emphasis on ethnographic work. Students will conduct their own mini-ethnographies of a place of their choice within the Columbus area. Although no knowledge of linguistics is assumed, readings and discussions include (but are not limited to) close analysis of the linguistic features and strategies that speakers or writers use in their constructions of place. ________________________________ From: Folkserv on behalf of Wibbelsman, MIchelle C. via Folkserv Sent: Thursday, January 5, 2023 10:14 AM To: SPPO faculty ; splect at lists.acs.ohio-state.edu ; spposta at lists.osu.edu ; SPPO grad students ; Skinner, Ryan via Arthumfac-alt ; huminst at lists.osu.edu ; folkserv at lists.osu.edu ; Katherine via Studentfolk ; folkfriends at lists.osu.edu ; Lee, Jungmin via Ethnicstudies ; Washuta, Elissa M. ; Elissa M. via Ais-list ; Latina/o Studies Email List ; In?s Valdez via Ls_students Subject: [Folkserv] Tonight 6:00-8:00 p.m. Exhibition Opening It Sounds Like Love, '22 to '23 I hope the new year is off to a good start for everyone!

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. For more information, to go our website: https://go.osu.edu/cfs_sn_ls For further information, email cfs at osu.edu. Sadhana Naithani is professor of German literature and cultural anthropology at the Centre of German Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. She is also the Coordinator of Folklore Program at the same institution. She is president of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research and Fellow of the American Folklore Society. Currently she is a Fulbright Visiting Professor (AY 2022-23) teaching at the Department of Anthropology/Folklore, U.C. Berkeley, and working on a book of narratives about wild animals.

If you would like to meet Gloria, the faculty meet and greet is scheduled for 11:45 in Denney 311; feel free to drop by. Gloria will be talking about: Everything but the Car: The Cultural Life of the Puerto Rican Carport This research explores how the carport, known as the marquesina in Puerto Rico, became the social and cultural center in many Puerto Rican homes during the mid-twentieth century. The marquesina for many families is stage on which both daily, yearly, and important life events are enacted to an intimate audience of family, friends, and the local community. This research argues that this liminal space, both public and private, inherited the traditional uses of the batey, the pre-modern earthen yard where much of daily life took place. Functions such as cleaning, childcare, birthday parties, Christmas traditions, quincea?eras, weddings, and funerals amongst others have all been held in the carport, with the care and maintenance often relegated to female-coded persons. After the talk I'll be sending out a note with the form for feedback. We welcome your comments on both candidates. best, Galey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Iles Graduate Research Award in the Study of Myth Dear All, The Center for the Study of Religion is excited to announce the deadline for the 2022-2023 Iles Graduate Research Award in the study of Myth as Friday, February 17, 2023 at 5pm. Relevant details below: Robert L. and Phyllis J. Iles Award for Graduate Study of Myth The Center for the Study of Religion oversees an annual competition to award up to $4000 to an Ohio State graduate student in the Arts and Humanities who is working on myth, broadly conceived. More specifically, the Robert L. and Phyllis J. Iles Award for Graduate Study of Myth, which is administrated by the CSR, has been established to make an annual award of up to $2000 each spring to a graduate student in the Division of the Arts and Humanities in support of that student?s research on myth. The award shall be supplemented by $1000 from the Division of the Arts and Humanities and by up to $1000 from the student?s home department, for a possible total of up to $4000. Studies of myth from any culture in any period of human history are eligible for consideration. For the purposes of this award, a ?myth? is ?a story that is sacred to and shared by a group of people who find important meaning in it, as conveyed through narrative, art or ritual.? Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: the relationship between myths and religious practices, the uses of myth in literary and artistic productions, and the reuse of one culture?s myths by other cultures. Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, the anthropological, the literary, the historical, and the folkloristic, as well as creative approaches that aim to re-present a myth as part of a new artistic product. Candidates will be selected based on merit, although some preference will be given to proposals that cite specific need for funding for travel or other expenses related to research or to the performance or production of other artistic projects. Preference will be given to candidates whose projects are part of a doctoral dissertation (with exceptions granted for students in departments that offer only a master?s degree). Application Procedure and Deadline: Applications should be submitted through the webform linked here and should include the following: 1. a 1200-word description of the project (with a suitable project title) and how the fellowship would aid it, including a statement of how much work has already been done on the project and how much would be completed during the fellowship period; 2. a letter of support from the student?s advisor; 3. a letter from the chair of the student?s department, agreeing to supplement the award by a specified amount of up to $1000; 4. a curriculum vitae of up to two pages, including publications and presentations. 5. [OPTIONAL] where appropriate, an explanation of how the funding will be spent (e.g. travel, cost of artistic or research materials, etc.) Applications for the fellowship must be made in advance of expenditures (there will be no post-facto awards); the funds must be spent within 12 months of the fellowship being awarded. The CSR reserves the right not to award a fellowship in a given year if none of the applications are deemed eligible. Any unused available balance will be reinvested into the principal amount of the Iles Fund. If selected for the award, the recipient shall submit to the director of CSR a 500-word essay on the state of their research or some other aspect of the way they spent the funding that can be used as a news item on the CSR website or in other CSR materials, and a photo of either the recipient or some aspect of his or her project. The application deadline for the 2022/2023 Iles Award is Friday, February 17, 2023. Please contact the Humanities Institute's administrative coordinator Nick Spitulski (spitulski.1 at osu.edu) with any questions. You can find similar information on the Awards page of our website HERE. Cheers, Savannah Savannah H.

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.

[Graphical user interface, website Description automatically generated] Zero Waste as White Space: The Racial Politics of Environmental Sustainability in an Expanding Europe Elana Resnick University of California, Santa Barbara Thursday, 9 February, 3:45-5:00pm 1039 Derby Hall Mershon Center for International Security Studies/Centering the Global Periphery Cluster Environmental sustainability initiatives implemented across Europe have reproduced and generated new practices of racialization. Although framed as progressive in the name of ?greening? Europe, these initiatives often rely on unrecognized and racialized labor. In Bulgaria, where waste labor is performed predominantly by Romani women, waste management is critical to meeting European Union environmental targets. This talk offers a historical and ethnographic account of recycling in Sofia, Bulgaria to explore how people engage with European sustainability regimes as well as the broader political landscapes of which they are a part. Sustainability in an expanding European Union, I argue, ends up sustaining an environment structured on white supremacy and racial capitalism. Elana Resnick is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she also leads the Infrastructural Inequalities Research Group. She writes about waste, race, environmentalism, labor, and humor. Her work has been published in American Anthropologist, Collaborative Anthropologies, Journal of Contemporary Archaeology, Anthropology of East Europe Review, Anthropological Journal of European Cultures and is forthcoming in Public Culture. Her research has been funded by the School for Advanced Research, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Council for European Studies, the Fulbright-Hays Program, and the Wilson Center. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
