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: Fairy Tales: American Traditions Lecture
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to think of fairy tales as something distinctly European or antiquated. 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!

What makes a good love story to you? What’s an absolute dealbreaker (aside from\, you know\, Bluebeard-esque tales where wives get murdered!)? \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher for the month of February – see you soon!

SUMMARY:The February Book Club - Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 21st at 7PM ET to discuss Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel Good Omens. \nThis novel likely needs no introduction\, but in a nutshell\, it’s about an angel and a demon teaming up to avert the End Times.

SUMMARY:The January Book Club - The Seventh Bride by T. Kingfisher
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 18th at 7PM ET to discuss T. Kingfisher’s novel The Seventh Bride!  \n\nThe Seventh Bride is a Bluebeard retelling\, but it’s also so much more – it brilliantly plays with all kinds of familiar fairy-tale tropes and centralizes the importance of female friendship and support. \n\nAlso\, it’s wildly creative\, decidedly creepy\, and weirdly heart-warming at times. \n\nIf this isn’t enough to convince you\, T. Kingfisher (the pen name Ursula Vernon uses to distinguish her more adult-themed work from the children’s lit and middle grade she publishes under her legal name) won TWO Hugo awards last week\, which is amazing and super well-deserved! \n\nNPR compares The Seventh Bride favorably to Peter Beagle and Diana Wynne Jones\, writing:  \n\n“Stylistically\, Seventh Bride is stripped-down and straightforward\, wasting little space on elaborate scene-setting. That bluntness is appropriate to [the protagonist]’s perspective as an uneducated peasant whose most significant experience of the world involves fighting a bullying swan for her daily lunch. So it’s a surprise that Bride most closely resembles Peter Beagle’s elegant\, poetic novel The Last Unicorn\, with its phantasmagoria of witches\, nobles\, sorcerers\, and great powers. (The two books even share a key image\, in the form of a magical and not entirely physical clock.) Vernon has Beagle’s knack for creating colorful\, instantly memorable characters\, and inhuman creatures capable of inspiring awe and wonder. For that matter\, Vernon sometimes feels like Diana Wynne Jones’ heir\, with her stories of aggrieved heroes trying to bull their way through comic magical chaos.” \n\nWe CAN’T WAIT to talk about this glorious novel with you!

SUMMARY:The December Book Club - Where the Wolf by Sally Rosen Kindred
DESCRIPTION:Our Patreon book club is reading the gorgeous poetry book Where the Wolf by Sally Rosen Kindred this month! Our meeting will be on December 15th\, 2021 at 7PM EDT. As a special bonus\, we’ll be joined by the author herself!  \n\n“These poems explore how stories—fairy tales\, family memories\, myths\, and dreams—tell us\, and let us tell each other\, who we are\, and what’s wild and sacred in our connections. From “the beast your mother made/ who scans hood and bed\,” to the ghost-guard summoned by a child on the night her family fractures\, to the teenage son who transforms into “beauty\, his dread-body\,” the beings in these poems are themselves stories\, spells: alchemized through language\, always becoming\, bearing hope and loss. They fragment in anxiety\, and form into new wilderness. They open themselves to reconstruction\, redemption.” – Diode Editions  \n\nCheck Patreon for the link to join us if you’ve pledged at a $7+ tier!

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Online: How the Nutcracker Came To Life Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Online presents:  “How the Nutcracker Came to Life\,” with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic. \n\n[This talk will remain available in recorded form at the link given here for tickets and access.] \n\nWe’ve been telling versions of the story of “The Nutcracker”for more than 200 years\, and our cultural attachment to it hasn’t wavered. 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!

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Online: The Haunted House Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Online presents: “The Haunted House\,” with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic. \n[This talk will remain available in recorded form at the link given here for tickets and access.] \nThe haunted house has long held a place in the imaginations of those who enjoy a bit of uncanny terror\, posing the ultimate threat to security and normalcy. 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.

SUMMARY:The Story of the Grimms' Fairy Tales - Smithsonian Associates Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In 1812 in Germany\, brothers and literary scholars Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published a collection of 86 folktales\, Kinder und Hausmärchen\, known in English as Grimms Fairy Tales. 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.

SUMMARY:The July Book Club - The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
DESCRIPTION:Our Patreon book club is reading The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente this month! Our meeting will be July 15th\, 2021 at 7PM EDT. Check Patreon for the link to join us if you’ve pledged at a $7+ tier! \nA few blurbs to entice you!: \n“A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale\, done with heart and wisdom.” ―Neil Gaiman\, Newbery Award–winning author of The Graveyard Book \n“September is a clever\, fun\, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold\, adventurous girls. Valente’s subversive storytelling is sheer magic.” ―Tamora Pierce\, author of The Immortals series \n“A mad\, toothsome romp of a fairy tale–full of oddments\, whimsy\, and joy.” ―Holly Black\, author of the Spiderwick Chronicles \n“When I saw that this book reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit\, James Thurber\, and the late Eva Ibbotson\, I don’t mean to take anything away from its astonishing originality. It’s a charmer from the first page\, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find\, at any age!” ―Peter S. Beagle\, author of The Last Unicorn
