SUMMARY:TALK: The History of Folklore and Feminism
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, feminist writers and thinkers have turned to myths\, legends\, fairytales\, religious stories\, and cultural traditions to make sense of women’s experiences. All of these come under the umbrella of ‘folklore’. This talk will explore the enduring relevance of folklore\, asking how these stories can be reclaimed and reimagined for the 21st-century feminist. \nWe’ll trace figures like the witch\, the shapeshifter\, and the maiden across different traditions\, examining the societal norms they were created to enforce and how feminist thinkers have reshaped them into symbols of resistance and possibility. \nFinally\, we will ask why we continually return to ancient stories to tell new ones — does this suggest that we’re out of new stories\, or is it a part of a longstanding literary tradition in women’s writing\, to look back\, to subvert dominant myths\, and to challenge the patriarchal ideas embedded in our society? \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Shelby Judge is a Lecturer in Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Derby\, \nwhere she researches digital feminist and popular feminist responses to Incels and the \nManosphere. She recently completed her PhD in English Literature at the University of \nGlasgow\, for which she produced the thesis Contemporary Feminist Adaptations of Greek \nMyth. Due to the proliferating nature of this genre\, Shelby’s work in this field is ongoing. She \nhas published work on #MeToo and the Trojan War\, 21st Century adaptations of Helen of \nTroy\, transgender adaptations of Frankenstein\, and transgender readings of Ovid. She has \npreviously given public lectures on toxic masculinity in Greek myth and sea monsters in Scottish folklore. She is a regular contributor to the Literary Encyclopedia\, for which she has \nwritten articles on the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy and Margaret Atwood\, as well as entries on \nLaura Bates and Janice Hallett. Shelby is a committee member for the Transatlantic Literary \nWomen network\, funded by the US Embassy and BAAS.

SUMMARY:Music: The Pine Hill Haints
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Ghost Country Music\nAlabama’s favourite haunted artists The Pine Hill Haints return with their latest long player\, Shattered Pieces Of The True Cross\, on Single Lock Records\, available in stores physical and digital on May 30.\nThe collection of southern psychedelic tunes were recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound on Jackson Highway\, captured and mixed by Ben Tanner\, Grammy-winning producer/engineer and Single Lock co-founder. \nThe Haints have long represented a 21st century chapter in the Muscle Shoals music legacy\, applying a DIY ethos to folk and blues traditions. Not unlike their Swamper forebears in the same studio\, the Haints transcend their myriad influences to sculpt a sound of their own.\nThe album bears their signature sonic palette – washtub bass\, snare drum (no bass drums allowed!)\, washboard\, and the occasional singing saw – and combination of styles: Scotch Irish traditional music via Appalachia (“Ki Yi Woopi Ti Yay” and “Henry My Son”\, classic country (“Honky Tonk and Dance With You”) and punk rock (“Svenghoolia”)\, plus a fresh take on the Grateful Dead song “Loser”. \n  \nHave a listen here \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n
