Every year before Xmas anthropologist Chris Knight decodes this fairytale!
About this Event

This delightful fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm has become a RAG tradition, told every year on the last day of the autumn term, just before Christmas. It tells of twelve princesses and their periodic trips to the underworld, the narrator treating patriarchal marriage as a cruel punishment imposed on a coalition of sisters who had previously been free to dance the nights away.

This magical tale introduces us to universal mythological themes which will be explored more fully in the Spring Term. Chris Knight will show how all such tales make sense in the light of the theory that human sexual morality was initially established by women.

Chris will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor, UCL Anthropology Dept. Plenty of room. No shortage of tickets! Please arrive in good time by 6:30pm before doors close. You can also join us on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak
