In addition to the seminars, Professors MacLean and Afary will be presenting their topic in lecture form on the Northern Illinois University campus on the day preceding the seminar (for further information about that, contact R. Kerwin at the address below). The theme is the same as that pursued in the spring, 2004, seminar: How have festive customs been influenced by the politically motivated interventions of individuals, interest groups, or institutions—including those making and acting in a given festivity themselves—in the times and places that you are investigating? In each case two papers will be discussed, having been circulated to correspondents of the Center one month in advance. In each case also the first named of the two discussants will be speaking in lecture format on the same subject on the Thursday preceding the Friday seminar at Northern Illinois University. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2:00-5:00 P.M.: Sally-Beth MacLean, University of Toronto: Lord Strange’s Men: Performance and Patronage in Elizabethan England. James Riddle, University of Wisconsin, Madison: Playing at the King’s Commandment: The 1487 Performance of York’s Corpus Christi Play. FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2:00-5:00 P.M.: Samuel Kinser, Northern Illinois University: Halloween, Mardi Gras, Pancake Tuesday: Can an American Carnivalesque Style Resist Political Correctness? Mitch Kachun, University of Western Michigan: Politicized Images of Festive Culture: Visual Representations of African-American Freedom Festivals, 1865-1895 FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2:00-5:00 P.M.: Janet Afary, Purdue University: Turning a Trickster Figure from Performance to Politics: Newspaper Uses of Mullah Nasreddin in Early Twentieth-Century Iran. Hakki Gurkas, Purdue University: The Nasreddin Hodja Festival in Aksehir, Turkey, Since 1959: The Trickster Becomes a Sage. Please send your request for a copy of the paper to be discussed about one month before the date of the seminar in question.
