SUMMARY:Salon: Tales From the Sarganserland with Rachel TonThat and Tobias Bärtsch
DESCRIPTION:For centuries the folklore of the Swiss Alps has captured the imagination: cautionary tales and legends of castles\, deep alpine forests where giants roam freely\, and large black hounds who lurk in wait for unsuspecting villagers walking home. Explore this vivid and bygone world with us in the Athenaeum garden. \nAs part of their U.S. book launch\, Rachel TonThat and Tobias Bärtsch will be reading from their project\, Die Alp an sich\, a bilingual collection that translates folklore from the Sarganserland region in eastern Switzerland into English and high German for the first time. Aida Feng\, Visiting Assistant Professor of German at the College of the Holy Cross\, will moderate the discussion.\n \nFollowing their readings\, Aida Feng\, Visiting Assistant Professor of German at the College of the Holy Cross\, will moderate a discussion TonThat and Bärtsch will discuss the reframing of these tales\, the evolution of the project\, and the shift from a simple translation project into a feminist and environmentally conscious engagement with the source materials. They will address the problematic legacy of legend collecting in Switzerland where male collectors have framed themselves as rescuers of an “authentic” oral tradition\, while producing moralizing texts that have erased the voices of their largely female\, working-class storytellers. \nRachel TonThat is an interdisciplinary artist and writer working with narrative structures around themes of possible futures\, memory\, and space-time. She is co-founder of the social art and publishing project\, Oreades Press\, and curates the project space Airtight Garage. She was selected for the inaugural She Who Has No Master(s) writing mentorship through the Diasporic Vietnamese Artist Network and completed her MA Fine Art at Zurich University of the Arts. Her work has been supported by the city of Zurich\, Canton St. Gallen\, New England Foundation For the Arts\, Mass Cultural Council\, Collective Futures Fund\, Tin House Writing Workshop\, Fondation Jan Michalski\, and more. Her essays and art criticism have appeared in Diacritics\, The Amp\, and Boston Art Review. \nTobias Bärtsch is a Swiss-Polish artist and writer based in Zurich\, Switzerland. His interdisciplinary practice spans various media\, often beginning with text. In 2024\, he participated in the group exhibition Uncanny Unchained at Kunsthalle St. Gallen. He wrote for various publications\, such as PW Magazine and transversal texts. His work has been supported by the Canton of St. Gallen through a Werkbeitrag grant in 2024. \nAida Feng is a scholar and teacher of German Studies whose work centers language and experience at the intersection of literature and German critical thought in the long 20th century. She completed her Ph.D. at Yale University with a dissertation on techniques of description (Beschreibung) that reconfigure the structure of possible experience in Walter Benjamin\, Robert Musil\, Ernst Mach\, Ludwig Wittgenstein\, and Ingeborg Bachmann. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of German at the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester\, MA). \nPlease enter by the Athenaeum garden gate on Botts Ct.\n(The front door will be locked at 6:00 pm.)\nPlease bring a folding lawn chair if you have one.\nIn case of rain\, the salon will be indoors. \nTickets: $20 | Free to Members\nSign up\n  \nTicket Policies\nTickets are refundable if canceled up to 24 hours before the event. \nBy attending an event at the Salem Athenaeum\, you may be photographed or recorded.

SUMMARY:Salon: News and Democracy in a Time of Crisis with Dan Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:Technological and social changes\, as well as the rise of corporate chain ownership\, have hollowed out local newsrooms across the country. Yet a new generation of independent startups prove reasons for hope. How can we revive local news and help spark a revival of civic engagement in a time of political polarization and rising threats to a free press? \nDan Kennedy is a professor in the School of Journalism at Northeastern University and a nationally known media commentator. He has written three books about the future of journalism\, most recently What Works in Community News: Media Startups\, New Deserts\, and the Future of the Fourth Estate\, with Ellen Clegg\, which was long-listed for a 2025 Massachusetts Book Award. He is a 2019 winner of the Yankee Quill Award\, a career recognition from the New England Academy of Journalists. His blog\, Media Nation\, is online at dankennedy.net. \nPlease enter by the Athenaeum garden gate on Botts Ct.\n(The front door will be locked at 6:00 pm.)\nPlease bring a folding lawn chair if you have one.\nIn case of rain\, the salon will be indoors. \nTickets: $20 | Free to Members\nSign up\nTicket Policies\nTickets are refundable if canceled up to 24 hours before the event. \nBy attending an event at the Salem Athenaeum\, you may be photographed or recorded.
