Subject: Fw: Call for Papers, Conference on Holidays, Ritual, Festival,


Celebration, and Public Display




Here is an announcement that came in from the Nature in Legend and Story
listserv (NILAS). The call seems to be for papers that have a somewhat
scholarly bent. I was interested that such an interesting area of study
even exists! Also, the request for <of death, both public and private>> seemed related to a number of recent
discssions on this list.
