It's Plain Reading's season finale! Join us for a discussion with #poet and educator L. S. McKee—we're talking personas, relics, interdisciplinary #writing, #epic, and so much more!
The presentation "National #Epic, #Nationalepos: Problematics and Difficult Cases" by Prof. David Wallace (University of Pennsylvania), which has been organized by the EXC 2020 "Temporal Communities" (#EXC2020), will take place at the Freie Universität Berlin on March 4, 2024.
So I've finally struggled my way through 召树屯 (Zhao Shutun)¹, a piece of #Dai#folklore in #epic#poetry form. The volume I have is published by #Wuhan University Press and is a translation into both #Mandarin and #English. Unfortunately the foreword and introduction are both only in Mandarin which proved to be a real slog.
#CfP for the issue "Formes du message politique dans le discours #épique" (Revista Épicas, 14 2023), which is expected to be published online in December 2023.
