The Center for Folklore Studies will host a celebration for the launch of Jasper Waugh-Quasebarth's new book, Finding the Singing Spruce: Musical Instrument Makers and Appalachia?s Mountain Forests on Thursday, November 16 from 3 - 5 pm in 198 Hagerty Hall. Jasper will share a conversation with John Preston of Lewisburg, West Virginia, a violin maker and the subject of the book. Book Summary: How can the craft of musical instrument making help reconnect people to place and reenchant work in Appalachia? How does the sonic search for musical tone change relationships with trees and forests? Following three craftspeople in the mountain forests of Appalachia through their processes of making instruments, Finding the Singing Spruce considers the meanings of work, place, and creative expression in drawing music from wood.

Please scroll down to read more about Evan DeCarlo's presentation on the folkloristic study of legendry in consideration of mass media hoax narratives. This event is open to all. -Megan *********?????******************* Save the date for the December installment of "No More Than A Page" on Tuesday, December 5th from 4 to 5:30 in 198 Hagerty Hall. This month features a presentation by Evan DeCarlo, a graduate student in English and winner of last year's Iles Award. Evan's project incorporates theory and methods from the folkloristic study of legendry in order to reimagine certain popular mass media hoax narratives as productive sites for the examination of legend structure, transmission, and aesthetics -- along with participatory culture. The question of authenticity has often plagued cultural studies, even leading to the outright dismissal of many materials labeled derisively as "fakelore" and "invented tradition." Conversely, this study of hoax-lore seeks to expand (rather than delimit) the generic parameters of legendry in an attempt to answer the fundamental question, "What exactly rings so true about a well-told lie?" This event is free and open to the public.

The lecture will be given by Amy Shuman, Professor Emerita from The Ohio State University, USA. It will be chaired by Professor Terry Gunnell from the University of Iceland, Iceland. Please see the abstract and short bionote of the lecturer below. The lecture will take place in English and will be accessible at the following zoom link which you are welcome to share with any interested parties: https://penta-zagreb-hr.zoom.us/j/83409211948 Meeting ID: 834 0921 1948 For further information, see: http://isfnr.org/isfnr-online-lectures/ We very much hope to meet you online! With my very best wishes, Mirjam Mencej, on behalf of the EC of the ISFNR Abstract Narrative and the Promise of Empathy One of the hopes, even expectations, of telling stories to others about our experiences is the possibility of empathy, the idea that someone who has not shared those stories will be a witness. Telling about painful, stigmatized or traumatic experiences is difficult by itself, and often our stories are fragmented and insufficient to truly account for what happened. Empathy, then, is triply encumbered, not only because the listener may be unfamiliar with the experiences, and not only because the subject is difficult, but also because the story may be partial, even unfinished. In this talk, I?ll describe some of the tools that folklorists bring to understanding narrative and empathy, including: identity and alignment, tellability, the genres and categories of available narratives, dialogism (multiple voices), and story ownership (including ethical considerations). I will briefly review some of my work on political asylum narratives and then turn to an in-depth discussion of the stories my aunt tells as a hidden child during the Holocaust. My aunt?s story carries a positive message. Empathy is about more than listening; it carries responsibilities. As painful as it is to tell her story, she does it (weekly) to remind people to stay informed and to speak up. Short bio Amy Shuman is Professor Emerita at The Ohio State University. She has received the American Folklore Lifetime Achievement Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and other Honors. She is the author of two books on narrative, edited collections on political aslyum and disability, and more than 70 articles and book chapters. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My Andean Art, Culture and Society class (SPA 4515) is hosting an OPEN HOUSE and Student Research Showcase on Thursday, November 30 from 2:20-3:40 p.m. in Hagerty Hall 255 to share their end-of-semester projects and research on Andean art! I would love to guarantee them a good public. So please come out and support the students, ask questions, browse the demonstrations. You are welcome to attend as much or as little of the event as you like (the whole period, 30 minutes, 20 minutes, or whatever works with your schedule). Please let me know if you have a class that may coincide with these times and whether you can bring them as a co-curricular activity. If your class time does not coincide, please consider offering an incentive to encourage your students to stop by. This showcase attempts to reflect course integration with a departmental resource like the Andean and Amazonian Art Collection and also to validate student work and have it go beyond the classroom.
