SUMMARY:Western States Folklore Conference

If the everyday is often overlooked in favor of spectacles\, festivals\, and special performances\, this conference attempts to draw our gaze back to the myriad ways in which we perform culture as ubiquitous and essential parts of our lives. As always\, while presentations on this theme are encouraged\, they are not required: we welcome all presentations on folklore-related topics for this conference. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this year’s Archer Taylor Lecturer will be Tok Thompson\, Professor of Anthropology and Communication at the University of Southern California. Prof. Thompson describes his working title as something on the order of “Have a Nice Day…Really!”: Affectual Leakages of Late Capitalism. \n\n\n\nRegistration: Online conference registration will begin January 1\, 2022. In person registration will begin Thursday\, April 7\, 2022 and continue throughout the conference\, as will online registration. Papers will be presented live and online via Zoom on Friday\, April 8 and Saturday\, April 9. All those who have registered (including paying the registration fee) by the time the sessions begin will be sent invitations with links. Only those who have registered will be admitted to sessions. \n\n\n\nNonmembers who join the Society at the time of registration are eligible for membership benefits\, including reduced registration fees and a subscription to Western Folklore.

SUMMARY:Irreversible - Manifestations of Change Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The Baltic Sea Region is an area where changes mostly occur within a set of intertwining transregional parameters. By focusing on the aftereffects of transformations\, this joint lecture series inquires about processes that lack the chance of a turn-around: from a single event to a concatenation of circumstances leading to an unforeseeable outcome. It can be difficult to draw a line between the permanent and the transient\, but there are\, certainly\, damages or developments that are irreversible\, in terms of material loss or environmental change. At the same time\, the very idea of irreversibility has to be processed in language and media; it is part of a discourse and thus of history. In literary theory\, the term ‘peripety’ signifies a reversal of action: How do narrations model and maybe alter the irreversible? How do geopolitical tipping points affect subsequent generations? In taking historico-political\, narrative\, ecological\, material\, and aesthetic changes into consideration\, this summer term program seeks to bring conceptional clarifications\, concrete case studies from a broad range of disciplines and regional studies approaches together. \n\n\n\nOrganisation and moderation: \n\n\n\nDr. des.

SUMMARY:Making Up Selves: The Operating Instructions
DESCRIPTION:A symposium to explore how voice\, narrative\, rituals\, and imagination—from antiquity to present-day—are practiced in the ‘making of ourselves.’  \n\n\n\n“Our experience of ourselves\,” the French philosopher Michel Foucault said\, “seems to us\, no doubt\, to be that which is original and immediate; but we have to remember that it has been constituted through historically formed practices. And what we believe we see so clearly in ourselves…is given to us via techniques.” American writer Ursula K. Le Guin noted that “All of us have to learn how to invent our lives\, make them up\, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don’t\, our lives get made up for us by other people.” What is true of our experience of ourselves and our lives goes for the worlds we take ourselves to inhabit and experience: the ones we find apparently ready-made for us; the ones we narrate into being and enact in our rituals; the ones we dream ourselves into. \n\n\n\nBut let’s get serious. To adapt a question a few Buddhist monks once asked an unhappy traveler whose body was swapped with one made from the re-assembled limbs of a corpse after an unlucky run-in with a pair of demons: “What manner of beings are we?” What can we imagine ourselves as being? And how do we make ourselves up? \n\n\n\nOver two days an anthropologist (Tanya Luhrmann)\, a classicist (Sarah Iles Johnston)\, and a philosopher of religion (Niki Kasumi Clements) will discuss voices\, and how people use social practice to shape inner worlds and moral purpose; how ancient handbooks of spells in Greek dating to the first six or seven centuries CE narrate worlds into which one can immerse oneself; and how we might think of the difference between practices\, technologies and hermeneutics of self in the work of Michel Foucault.

SUMMARY:Multiple Perspectives Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:As a modern land grant university\, an important part of Ohio State University’s mission is outreach and engagement\, serving the community through a variety of activities. During the tenth anniversary year of the Americans With Disabilities Act the Multiple Perspectives On Access\, Inclusion And Disability conference was created to help fulfill this mission. In short\, the goal of the conference is to encourage the kind of change suggested by Leslie Kanes Weisman in the opening quote. \n\n\n\nIt is hoped that the annual conference will serve as a catalyst for positive change and a springboard for collaborations with our partners in education\, business\, public\, and social service. Each year a series of workshops will provide a forum for individuals and organizations to expand their knowledge and perspectives\, and an opportunity to increase community resources through the synergy of collaboration. \n\n\n\nThe workshops are designed to bring a diverse audience together to discuss the full spectrum of disability issues and experiences. To ensure broad participation from the university community\, business\, state and local government\, educators\, advocacy organizations\, social service agencies\, and individuals with disabilities sponsors are sought each year to subsidize conference participants.

SUMMARY:International symposium "Discovering Meaning: Oral History\, Power and Emotions"
DESCRIPTION:This symposium aims to give a central role to the field of oral history in the study of emotions\, but also to promote the analysis of affective experience in history and oral history. In fact\, oral history offers the exceptional possibility of being able to analyze the way in which the speaker remembers his historical experience and\, by extension\, the links between individual and collective memory. \n\n\n\nThis international\, cross-disciplinary conference will be held in English and French. \n\n\n\nThe conference will be held at the University of Pau\, as a hybrid event depending on the evolution of the current pandemic. \n\n\n\nInvited speakers: \n\n\n\nAnna Bryson (Queen’s University Belfast\, UK)Lindsey Dodd (University of Huddersfield\, UK)Alistair Thomson (Monash University\, Melbourne\, AUS)\n\n\n\nLearn more and see the program

SUMMARY:Food and Memory Online Conference
DESCRIPTION:Researchers have long confirmed the importance of studying food-related issues in the past and in the present-day world. During our interdisciplinary conference\, we are going to concentrate on the relationships between food and memory. In what sense – and in what circumstances – can food be regarded as an identity-building factor? What role does it play in shaping our individual and collective memories? How can food studies deepen our knowledge on the social and cultural aspects of our lives? Why are food memories so often related to important experiences of individuals and societies? \n\n\n\nThe organizers would like to discuss these and many other questions from a broad perspective\, referring to the anthropological\, psychological\, sociological\, historical\, and esthetical research on food and memory. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic fields: anthropology\, history\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, psychiatry\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, memory studies\, consciousness studies\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, migration studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, and cognitive sciences\, to name w few. \n\n\n\nDifferent forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inquiries\, personal reflections\, problem-oriented arguments\, and comparative analyses. \n\n\n\n\nConference website
