Megan It's one month from today: the Religious Humor & Laughter Symposium is on Friday, February 9th in the colloquium space in the 18th Avenue Library from 9:30 am to 12 pm. The Center for the Study of Religion and Melton Center for Jewish Studies will host two panel discussions exploring the following questions: Why is it important for scholars to attend to humor and laughter, and, if it's often been neglected or overlooked, why is that the case? What does humor reveal about how communities and individuals negotiate boundaries of religious and ethnic identity? What, if anything, do we gain by engaging religious humor comparatively and cross-culturally? Presenters include: Jennifer Caplan (Judaic Studies, University of Cincinnati): "What?s Jewish about Jewish Humor?" Samah Choudhury (Philosophy and Religion, Ithaca College): "Thinking About Religion and Race by Taking Humor Seriously." Melissa Anne-Marie Curley (Comparative Studies, OSU): "Rain-Making and Piss-Taking: Bawdy Humor in a Few Buddhist Stories." Hannibal Hamlin (English, OSU): "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost walk into a bar...: Does Christianity Have a Sense of Humor?" This event is free and open to the public.

Digital folklore has accelerated in recent decades with the increased popularity of the internet and social media platforms, yet emerged much earlier in the 1970s with the introduction of new technologies such as the photocopier and, latterly, email, to the workplace. Alongside these new folklore forms, the digital has given rise to the emergence of new communities and the development of new ways of ?doing folklore?. Digital folklore has thus greatly added to, challenged and disrupted folklore studies. This conference explores various aspects of digital folklore, ranging from forms, transmission and communities to the methods and approaches of undertaking folklore studies of digital vernacular culture. CALL FOR PAPERS: deadline extended to 16 February 2024 Papers of 20 minutes are invited on any aspect of historical and contemporary digital folklore including, but not limited to, the following topics: * Digital culture and communities * Folklore and social media * Digital folklore genres (e.g. photocopylore, email chains, creepypasta and internet legends, memes, rumours, and conspiracy theories) * Transference of ?analogue? customs and traditions to online contexts * Digital folklore enacted offline * Digital vernacular language and communication * Politicisation of folklore and folklorisation of political rhetoric in/through digital contexts * The reassessment of folklore definitions and conceptualisations of ?the folk? * The development of new theories, methods and approaches in folklore studies as a result of the development and study of digital folklore * AI and its implications for folklore studies Please send the following to thefolkloresociety at gmail.com and copy to digitalfolklore2024 at gmail.com 1) a 200-word (max) abstract for a 20-minute presentation 2) a brief biographical note 3) whether you wish to present online or in person at King?s College London Deadline for proposals: extended to 16 February 2024 Dr Caroline Oates, Librarian The Folklore Society 50 Fitzroy Street London W1T 5BT Tel. +44 (0) 203 915 3034 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There, you can learn about more than 1,000 vivid STORIES about the Virgin Mary preserved in Ge?ez. * These stories are searchable by date, manuscript, place of origin, language, title, and many other categories. * Over 600 of the stories appear on the site in English translation, thrice those previously available. * Among the stories is one about a girl who pursues an education, another about a thirsty dog who experiences Mary?s kindness, and a story written by King Zara Yaqob about a speaking Mary icon. [cid:image001.png at 01DA3402.07824DD0] Through our research, we have proven that the Marian tradition in Africa is older, richer, and more indigenous than previously thought by scholars. * We uncovered over 1,000 stories in Ge?ez manuscripts, almost twice the number of stories previously identified. * Over 800 of those stories were composed in Ethiopia, Eritrea, or Egypt, far more than previously thought. * Less than 6 percent were composed in Europe, far fewer than previously thought. * The Ethiopian and Eritrean Marian tradition was infused with new blood through translations of almost 150 stories from Arabic into Ge?ez between 1382 and 1540. * Ethiopian and Eritrean stories about the Virgin Mary have been composed for six centuries, from the late 1300s into the 2010s.

Two-day CMRS Conference & Mini Faire 2/16-17 Message-ID: Let the Games Begin! Join the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies for our bi-annual ?Popular Culture and the Deep Past? event on February 16 -17 in the Ohio Union and via Zoom. This year will feature the exploration of sports and pastimes in the Medieval and Renaissance worlds, including Viking ballgames, chess, jousting, archery, boar hunting and more. This conference and mini-fair will offer lectures, live demonstrations of falconry, fencing, early board games, courtly dances and hands-on activities. Fun for all ages! Costumes are welcome. This event will feature a scholarly conference with papers, round tables and keynote lectures by prominent scholars who will discuss a range of entertainments in their cultural and social contexts, nested within a Renaissance-faire-like carnival featuring exhibits, gaming, performances and more. Medieval and Renaissance games are alive in our world in unmissable and unseen ways. Many of us enjoy attending a medieval-style joust or playing video games with Renaissance storyworlds, while many of the most popular "modern" games, like chess and baseball, have pre-modern roots. By actively discussing and experiencing what they did (and we do) for pleasure and competition, we can get closer to these cultures and the lived, embodied experiences of their members, while reassessing their place in our contemporary popular imagination. This event is free and open to the public.

One of the community partners of Ohio Field School, the Tablertown Museum preserves the history and legacy of Tablertown, a rural Black enclave in southeast Ohio established in the 1830s. Butcher will present "Unrequited: The Paradox of Black Appalachia" on February 14 at 4 pm in 165 Thompson Library. This presentation explores the intersection of rurality and blackness by analyzing a cultural institution, the Tablertown Museum, in Appalachian Ohio, and it posits that ?unrequited? may be a better descriptor of the community?s understanding of its internal and external relations within Appalachia. In its efforts to preserve Tablertown?s oral history and its existential struggles through periods marked by slavery, Native American displacement, segregation, economic underdevelopment, and environmental degradation, the Tablertown Museum grapples with these legacies within the physical and cultural space of Appalachia and the neoliberal quagmire that is nonprofit status. This presentation explores how the Tablertown Museum represents a community forged at the frequently unrecognized intersection of "Black" and "Appalachia" and its ongoing struggles with self-definition, cultural preservation, and economic survival.
