On Pumpkinification with Languages and Cultures Department
Join the Event via Zoom at this link.
For the Halloween season, the Languages and Cultures Department will deliver
a scholarly yet popular presentation on “pumpkinification” across cultures and
languages. From Seneca the Younger’s – The Pumpkinification of (the Divine)
Claudius to Perrault’s and the Grimms’ “Cinderella” and finally Washington Irving’s
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” becoming a pumpkin has often been a risk in world
literature. Dr. Jason Schlude (Latin), Dr. Karen Erickson (French), and Dr. Kurt
Hollender (German) will each briefly introduce this motif to a general audience
from their own world language idiom with an eye towards what it means for
community: these texts monitor the borders of ingroup and outgroup, the divine
and the mortal, class, and the everyday and the supernatural, just like, well, a
jack o’ lantern on the threshold.

Frankenstein: A Radio Play
Adapted from Mary Shelley’s novel by Philip Grecian;
Directed by Sean Dooley
Stephen B. Humphrey Theater, SJU; Limited tickets will be made available
through the Fine Arts Programming Box Office
Live Stream link will be available closer to the event. This is an FAE event.
Frankenstein: a live radio play stays true to Mary Shelley’s gothic classic,
but the twist lies with the style of the telling. Set in the sound studio of a local
radio station in the 1940s, Philip Grecian’s adaptation comes to life. Music, old
fashioned live sound effects and 8 voice actors retell the famous tale, which
delves into human psyche, hubris and over-vaulting ambition. Many consider
the novel by Shelley to be the first work in the genre of science fiction as she
questions man’s role as a caretaker of nature and cautious for a need to make
thoughtful decisions regarding scientific progress.
– Excerpted from BWW review: Frankenstein: A live Radio play at screen plays
by Dan and Julie Izzo
