SUMMARY:2024 Annual Bohdan Medwidsky Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title: Folklore of Anger: Systemic Vernacular Imperialism and Ukrainian Responses to the Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine by Russia \nPresenter: Dr. Mariya Lesiv\nBio: Mariya Lesiv is an Associate Professor of Folklore and current Head of the Folklore Department at Memorial University. She is the author of The Return of Ancestral Gods: Modern Ukrainian Paganism as an Alternative Vision for a Nation published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2013. Her work on belief and politics\, religious folklife\, diasporic culture\, and folk art has also appeared in edited volumes as well as scholarly journals\, including Anthropologica\, Journal of American Folklore\, Ethnologies\, Western Folklore\, and Folklorica. With Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby\, she recently co-edited a special issue of Folklorica devoted to folklore and protest. Mariya is a recipient of a Social Studies and Humanities Research Council of Canada Insight Development Grant for her fieldwork-based project “Host­Region: Post­Socialist Diaspora Communities in Newfoundland\,” devoted to recent immigrants to the province from the former Socialist countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Mariya is a former President of the Folklore Studies Association of Canada and current President of the Slavic\, Eastern European\, and Eurasian Folklore Association. \nDate: April 5\, 2024 | 3PM (MDT) \nLocation: BUS 3-05\, Alberta School of Business\, University of Alberta\, 11211 Saskatchewan Dr NW\, Edmonton\, AB T6G 2R6 \nDescription of Presentation:\nWar produces intense emotions that are frequently expressed in creative ways. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has resulted in numerous such expressions communicated on the Internet. Frequently rooted in traditional curses\, the Ukrainian folklore of anger may be disturbing to many Western outsiders who treat tolerance\, positivity\, and niceness as societal virtues. In line with a folkloristic approach rooted in the understanding of insider perspectives behind creative practices\, I look at war-generated folklore by contextualizing the voices of its performers\, namely\, people directly affected by the Russian aggression. The concept of Russian systemic vernacular imperialism\, as historically manifested in smaller-scale imaginaries and acts – in the words and behaviours of regular citizens – and its role in fueling the ongoing war can shed some light on complex human emotions in traumatic contexts. It can also contribute to ongoing scholarly efforts to decolonize regional studies involving Ukraine and other countries that have historically operated under the Russian orbit.

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.
