SUMMARY:Zoom Presentation: "The Spirits Never Die: Ukrainian Native Faith as Spatial\, Historical and Political Construct"
DESCRIPTION:The Kule Folklore Centre is pleased to announce our upcoming Folklore Lunch: The Spirits Never Die: Ukrainian Native Faith as Spatial\, Historical and Political Construct.\nPresented by Adrien Nonjon\, PhD Candidate\, INALCO\, Paris \nMarch 31\, 2023 | 12pm MDT \nZoom Presentation \nLong confined to the margins of anti-Soviet dissidence in the 1960s and 1980s\, Neo-paganism is now a tangible reality in Ukraine\, thanks in particular to movements such as RUNvira (Ridna Ukrayins’ka Natsional’na Víra) and ORU (Ob’iednannia Ridnoviriv Ukraïny). Correlatively to the rise of this culture and spirituality\, which aims to be both alternative and fundamentally autochthonic\, a certain number of questions remain as to the content of its discourse\, particularly as to its precise ideological positioning. Indeed\, if at the beginning it could only be limited to a quest for emancipation on the spiritual\, philosophical or identity level\, Ukrainian neo-paganism has been able\, during the second half of the twentieth century and up to the present day\, to progressively transgress political divisions in order to unite\, carry and renew certain militant creeds\, even the most radical ones. It is through several issues (ecological\, political and military) that this presentation aims to show the structuring role of neo-pagan spirituality both in the cohesion of certain claims and in the will to create a coherent worldview exclusively turned towards a celebration of an often idealized “Ukrainity.” \nAdrien Nonjon is a Ph.D. candidate in History at the Centre de Recherche Europe-Eurasie (CREE) of the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations in Paris. He holds a MA in Geopolitics and Political Sciences. From 2019-2021\, Adrien was a research fellow at George Washington University’s Institute for European\, Russian and Eurasian Studies\, participating in two research programs supervised by Professor Marlène Laruelle\, on Transnational History of the Far-Right\, and Illiberalism. He specializes in the cultural and political history of the Baltic Black Sea Region. \nPhoto provided by author. \nSee all these details on our website: https://www.ualberta.ca/kule-folklore-centre/news/2023/march/the-spirits-never-die.html \n_______________________________________________________ \nJoin us on March 31\, 2023 at 12pm MDT on Zoom. \nAdvance Registration required.\nPlease register for the event here:\nhttps://ualberta-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwvceysqjwjG9coO-Hw_OE69A8HUPcg_ydu \nThis is an Zoom only event\, the presentation will be available on our Youtube channel and our website after the event: ukrfolk.ca \nFor more information\, contact: ukrfolk@ualberta.ca

SUMMARY:2023 Annual Bohdan Medwidsky Memorial Lecture “Canadian Ukrainian Ethnicity on the Move”
DESCRIPTION:Kule Folklore Centre in partnership with Alberta Society for the Advancement of Ukrainian Studies is pleased to host the 2023 Annual Bohdan Medwidsky Memorial Lecture: \n“Canadian Ukrainian Ethnicity on the Move” \nPresented by Dr. Andriy Nahachewsky – Director Emeritus of the Kule Folklore Centre \nWhen: April 14\, 2023 | 3pm MDT \nWhere: BUS 3-05\, School of Business\, University of Alberta\nAdvance registration required. See below for details. \nEthnic identity – often expressed with the metaphor “roots” – is attractive for many because it conveys an impression of permanence and stability in a too-rapidly changing world. Ukrainian Canadians have often been described as an unusually visible and “successful” ethnic group over the last 130 years. However\, drawing on my recent ethnochoreological research\, I illustrate how Ukrainian Canadian ethnic expression does not necessarily rely on stability to flourish\, but rather has been shifting in multiple important ways. Indeed\, perhaps counter-intuitively\, changes in content\, symbolism\, and intensity have been powerful facilitators of the continuing relevance and vitality of the Canadian Ukrainian community. The current “6th wave” of Ukrainians arriving in Canada since the current Russian invasion and war will test this claim as never before. \nDr. Andriy Nahachewsky was Bohdan Medwidsky’s first PhD student. He is Huculak Chair Emeritus at the University of Alberta\, having served for 15 years as Director of the Kule Folklore Centre. He was also the founding Curator of the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives\, a large multimedia repository. His research interests and publications deal with Ukrainian traditions in the twentieth century\, material culture\, the Ukrainian Canadian experience\, immigration stories\, ethnic dance\, ethnographic methodology\, and graffiti. Active for decades in Ukrainian dance as a performer\, choreographer\, adjudicator\, and historian\, his insider/outsider viewpoint is also strongly enriched by international perspectives in ethnochoreology. He has conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Ukrainian communities in eleven countries. He now lives in Brussels\, where he continues observing Ukrainian Canadian culture\, with a view from a distance. \nDr. Bohdan Medwidsky (1936-2021) was the founder of the Ukrainian Folklore Program\, Kule Folklore Centre (KuFC)\, and the Ukrainian Folklore Archives at the University of Alberta. Without his foresight\, perseverance\, and wisdom\, KuFC and many other Ukrainian Canadian organizations would not be where they are today. \nView all details on our website here: https://www.ualberta.ca/kule-folklore-centre/news/2023/march/canadian-ukrainian-ethnicity-on-the-move.html\n______________________________________________________________ \nJoin us on April 14\, 2023 at 3pm MDT\nLocation: BUS 3-05\, School of Business\, University of Alberta \nAdvance registration required.\nPlease register for the event here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/2023-annual-bohdan-medwidsky-memorial-lecture-tickets-574729430197 \nIf you are unable to attend in person\, please join us via Zoom here:\nhttps://ualberta-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEsfumtqjotHtxxRo-VQeZXfv82_jnS2-rw \nThe presentation will be available on our Youtube channel and this web page after the event.\nFor more information\, contact: ukrfolk@ualberta.ca.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Dumy moї - My thoughts: Taras Shevchenko\, the Ukrainian Diaspora and the Ongoing War in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:UPCOMING EXHIBIT\nPeter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore\nPresents:\nDumy moї – My thoughts: Taras Shevchenko\, the Ukrainian Diaspora and the Ongoing War in Ukraine \nA multi-media exhibition by curators Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn\, PhD Kule Chair in Ukrainian Ethnography\, and Dmytro Yesypenko\, Graduate Student MLCS \nExhibition: March 6-31\, 2023\, Rutherford Library Galleria\, University of Alberta \nTaras Shevchenko (1814–1861) is one of the most prominent and influential figures in Ukrainian culture and history. During his lifetime\, he was recognized as the author of literary classics\, notably\, the iconic poetry collection Kobzar (Minstrel\, 1840). A poetic genius\, Shevchenko also became an outstanding painter. His oeuvre is considered to be the prime exemplar of the Ukrainian spirit. \nThis exhibition\, named after Shevchenko’s famous poem “Dumy moї” (My Thoughts)\, aims to present the timeless significance of the poet’s messages and the artistic imagery of this true national Kulturträger. The multi-media exhibit explores the phenomenon of admiration for Shevchenko and how his legacy speaks volumes about Ukrainians themselves. Four digital screens display images and accompanying explanatory texts in respective thematic streams. \nDumy moї – My Thoughts exhibition covers a spectrum of emotions from tragedy and sadness to humour\, empathy\, resilience and the unconquerable Ukrainian spirit\, admired by the whole world today. \nRead more about the Exhibit here:\nhttps://www.ualberta.ca/kule-folklore-centre/news/2023/february/exhibit-dumy-moi-my-thoughts.html \nJoin us for a Curator’s Talk by Dmytro Yesypenko on March 10\, 2023 | 12 PM MST\nLocation: Rutherford Library Galleria\nMore information on the curator’s talk here:\nhttps://www.ualberta.ca/kule-folklore-centre/news/2023/february/dumy-moi-my-thoughts-curators-talk.html \nFor more information\, contact: ukrfolk@ualberta.ca.
