Sessions
on Folklore and Folktales for the NEPCA conference at Keene State, New
Hampshire (Oct. 21 and 22). This area explores the area of folkloric
practices, including art, literature, knowledge and practices, as well
as the fields that fall under and emerged out of folktales, including
myths, legends, fairy tales and fables. Papers may be drawn from past
instances as well as present practices – both foreign and domestic.
Research may also look at modern reconfigurations of folklore and
folktales, such as pilgrimage practices at Graceland, modern fairy tale
retellings, new urban legends, etc. 500 word proposals should be
submitted via the NEPCA link below by June 1, 2016
