SUMMARY:Charles County Public Library: Folklore Strikes Back Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Star Wars film franchise has long been called a modern myth. The stories of the series are indebted to traditional narrative forms like myth\, legend\, and fairy tale. Entire folk communities have grown up around it. \nCome join Dr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman\, co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic for a fascinating look at how the same scholarly lenses used to study and analyze age-old tales of fairies and dragons and witches can enrich our understanding of the Star Wars franchise and surrounding culture. \nThey’ll look at the old myths that gave rise to the Force as well as the legends that inspired the characters\, and at how fairy-tale plots animate the “galaxy far\, far away.” \nBeyond the folk-narrative connections that move Star Wars to the category of the folkloresque are its cultural impact and the folk communities that have grown up around it. In the decades since the Star Wars movie series premiered at theatres\, it has become a multi-billion-dollar franchise spanning films\, TV series\, theme parks\, novels\, and just about every type of product and merchandise you can imagine. But while Disney now owns the rights to the worlds of Star Wars (and all that merch)\, at the cultural level\, Star Wars belongs to its massive\, global fan base. And this fan base creates its own traditions\, engaging in cosplay\, inventing holidays\, and spinning new galaxies from fans’ own stories. \nSometime soon\, on a computer not far away\, you’ll be able to join this online event and blast off on an amazing scholarly adventure. May the folklore be with you. \nThis event will be presented through Crowdcast. The event is free\, but registration is required\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Hans Christian Andersen: Tales That Enchant and Haunt
DESCRIPTION:Hans Christian Andersen is a name synonymous with fairy tales and a figure who has inspired much speculation and fascination in his readers. His stories have enchanted for more than a century and a half\, from the hilarious (and cuttingly insightful) tale of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to the beguiling tragedy of “The Little Mermaid.” But who was this eccentric Danish man\, and why have his fairy tales become so canonical? \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman explore the strange\, sometimes melancholy life of the man whose tales so many would grow to love\, though the recognition he craved often eluded him during his own lifetime. They examine the stories themselves\, including Andersen’s folkloric influences\, motivations\, and even the harsh criticism the works first received. \nThey provide an in-depth discussion of the concept of the literary fairy tale—a subject of significant controversy in folklore studies. They also look at the impact of Andersen’s fairy tales\, paying particular attention to culturally important adaptations such as Disney’s The Little Mermaid and the significant—and lasting—changes its creators chose to make to the tale. \nTheir insights into Andersen’s tales—stories characterized both by extreme beauty and extreme suffering— reveal why his work continues to haunt and dazzle us today. \nClick here to get tickets!
