And finishing up is Zuzana Panczová on “discourses of the edge”— conspiracy theories in Slovakia as they emerged after the fall of the communist regime, and their relationship with religious eschatologies. #isclr23
Next, Aphrodite-Lidia Nounanaki on the interpenetration of conspiracy theory / thinking with new narratives about Greek nationalism. #isclr23
The last day (boo!) starts with a Conspiracy and Belief panel with Brandon Barker on Bell Witch Legendry framed through folk psychology. #isclr23

#isclr23 may be missing Sandy Hobbs but we are lucky enough to have him here today to preview his new banner exhibition. Watch this space for more info...
@ISCLR
ALT Sandy Hobbs standing next to a display of exhibition banners showing his work on urban legends. He is pointing at a banner on the story of Downie's Slaughter.
And Libby Tucker, delivering by Zoom (yay but alas!) speaks of campus legends in a time of Covid-19. #isclr23
If legend people go to this, (and it doesn’t conflict with #isclr24), y’all can swing by @AVulgarArt’s neck of the woods afterwards. #isclr23
The afternoon begins with an X-Files panel and @DianeARodgers discussing her forthcoming co-edited anthology on the storied program. #isclr23
