After all\, many of the most famous fairy-tale collectors and writers lived hundreds of years ago in Germany (the Grimms)\, France (Beaumont and Perrault)\, or Denmark (Hans Christian Andersen.) But fairy tales can be found all over the world\, including here in the United States\, where they’re still being created and told today. \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman discuss the fairy-tale traditions and stories that can be found around the United States\, including the Jack Tales of Appalachia\, Black folk and fairy tales from the South\, and the rise of the Disney fairy-tale empire. They also introduce some lesser-known fairy tales unfolding today and offer insights into how these supposedly “frivolous” stories profoundly permeate American culture and stay with us ever after. \nCleto and Warman are former instructors of folklore and literature at Ohio State University and co-founders of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic. \nTickets: $20 for Members\, $25 for Non-Members\nClick here for tickets!

But many who watch it performed on stage or screen\, or hear it played by a symphony\, don’t really know much about how the story was originally told\, or how it came into being. \n\nPrepare to grab a bowl of chestnuts or sugar plums or whatever you’re snacking on this holiday season and let Profs and Pints Online take you on your own magical journey to learn about the origins of “The Nutcracker” and its characters. Your guides on this scholarly adventure will be Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, whose fantastic talks on folklore\, myths\, and legends have earned them a big following among Profs and Pints fans. \n\nThey’ll start by looking at the life and work of E.T.A. Hoffman\, the writer who started it all with his Christmas fairy tale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” We’ll examine what inspired him to write the story\, and how he tapped into fragments of existing folklore\, the spirit of German Romanticism\, and a sense of the uncanny to create the tale’s sugar plum fairies and clockwork castles. \n\nThe tale begins on Christmas eve with an extravagant spread of gifts\, including a nutcracker. A young girl named Marie\, enchanted with the doll\, begins an adventure where toys come to life\, an evil Mouse King must be defeated\, and good and love triumph. Christmas is a time for magic and wonder\, and the story that became known simply as “The Nutcracker” joined other holiday stories that have endured in capturing a sense of imagination and whimsy. Like many of the season’s other beloved tales\, it also bore a hint of danger. \n\nSara and Brittany will explore the history of nutcrackers and the fascination—and\, sometimes\, fear—that dolls inspire. They’ll show you how “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” ties into Hoffman’s other works\, and they’ll lead you through some of the adaptations of the story\, from theater to film to fashion. In a season when “The Nutcracker” is performed everywhere\, their talk will help you derive much more enjoyment from the show. \n\nClick here to grab your tickets!

It’s a place where something familiar becomes strange and unsettling\, even threatening. You initially might have thought you’re safe—after all\, you should be safe indoors—but you’re not. Sanctuary and shelter have turned against you. The very walls trouble your dreams. \nCome tour some of the most terrifying real estate ever imagined with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, who have earned themselves a large and devoted following among Profs and Pints audiences. In this online talk they’ll show you the fascinating folkloric\, literary\, and real-world history of the haunted house\, and might even leave you wondering about the creepy old places with doors you’re afraid to knock on come Halloween. \nThey’ll begin by discussing the scary structures of fairy tales\, such as gingerbread houses and Bluebeard’s castle\, exploring how the early stories told about them influenced the terrifying tales of Henry James’ Bly Manor and Edgar Allen Poe’s House of Usher. \nThey’ll consider the impact of haunted space on the Gothic and horror genres and explain why haunted houses are often so opulent and so decadent in their decay. And they’ll conclude by examining how these tales still resonate today\, in haunted houses both purportedly real and those decidedly fake\, meant for shocks and thrills. Even Disney’s Haunted Mansion ride will make an appearance. It’s a scary world after all. \nWhat might the haunted house have to say about history\, culture\, and society? What draws us\, again and again\, to haunted houses\, making us want to visit them\, find their ghosts\, and uncover their stories? Knock on the door\, and let’s find out.

A major source of the brothers’ inspiration was the Romantic nationalism sweeping over a still-unified Germany. They believed a country’s folk tales were a valuable reflection of its culture—and could therefore be helpful in nation building. \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman share the surprising history of the Grimms’ collection\, from its connection to the early field of folkloristics—and that it might not be quite as “authentic” as the brothers wanted people to believe—to its literary impact on authors such as Charles Dickens\, George Eliot\, and Neil Gaiman\, to its use in propaganda in support of dangerous political ideologies. \nTheir insights into how these tales—too often dismissed as simple children’s stories—have profoundly shaped Western culture will stay with you ever after. \nCleto and Warman are former instructors of folklore and literature at Ohio State University and co-founders of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic.

Focusing on the collection of the Brothers’ Grimm\, we will begin with an overview of the brothers and their academic project\, discussing how their nationalistic scholarship evolved into a book of fairy tales targeted towards children. Then we will turn to the witches within the collection\, discussing their unique relationships to agency\, community\, and nature. The remainder of the presentation will focus on five different witches that appear in five different fairy tales\, some familiar and some obscure: “Rapunzel\,” “Hansel and Gretel\,” “The Three Spinners\,” “Frau Trude\,” and “All Kinds of Fur.” For each fairy tale\, we will provide a brief summary of the plot before identifying the “aspect” of the witch that is most relevant to the tale\, beginning with “Witch as Mother” in “Rapunzel.” In the subsequent fairy tales\, we will discuss “Witch as Monster\,” “Witch as Helper\,” “Witch as Lover\,” and “Witch as Princess.” By illuminating different aspects of the figure of the witch as she appears in the Grimms’ tales\, we will demonstrate the versatility\, multiplicity\, and power that characterizes her\, even within a single\, albeit extremely influential\, collection of stories. These witches represent the many ways of being a woman in the world and the many ways women can relate to others – a rich repository of education and inspiration\, they intrigue and enchant us\, inviting us to let down our hair\, jump into their flames\, and take a bite of their apple. \nONLINE\nTicket prices vary per day.\n£100 for the whole weekend of events. \nClick here for more information and to register!
