SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: What Awaits the Naughty
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “What Awaits the Naughty\,” a guide to supernatural beings around the world who keep kids in line and Christmas weird\, with Linda Lee\, lecturer in folklore and fairy tales at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe song says “Santa Claus is coming to town\,” not “Santa Claus is coming specifically to your house.” In many parts of the world\, children who misbehave expect visitors of an entirely different sort\, in the form of unwelcome bringers of punishment and fear. \nCome to Fishtown’s Black Squirrel Club to get the lowdown on strange beings that prowl the long nights during the Christmas and Yule season. Linda Lee\, a scholar of folklore and fairy tales who has taught at Penn and other universities throughout the region\, will discuss a host of entities who appear at this time of year to make the naughty rethink their ways. \nHigh on her list will be Krampus\, the goat-like\, devilish being from Central and Eastern Europe who carries chains and punishes naughty children with a birch rod. \nLooking to Iceland\, Lee will tell us about that nation’s Yule trolls and its monstrous Yule Cat\, Jólakötturinn\, known to devour those who don’t receive new clothes to wear on Christmas Eve. \nWe’ll also get to know La Befana\, an Italian witch who rides a broomstick and visits homes on Epiphany. Turning her attention closer to home\, Lee will discuss the origins and ways of Pennsylvania-famous Belsnickel\, a sketchy-looking import from southwest Germany who prowls these parts handing out candy or coal. \nWe’ll learn about the traditions associated with each of these figures and how each one fits into celebrations of Christmas\, Yule\, or the winter seasons. Among the questions we’ll consider: Why do so many of them enforce good behavior? Should we be worried? \nLee’s audience has loved this talk when she gave it in the past. You’ll be glad you have survived Krampus long enough to be on hand for Lee’s return to discuss him. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Guests are welcome to arrive any time after 5:30. Talk starts at 6:30.) \nImage by Canva.
