THE KRAMPUS AND THE OLD, DARK CHRISTMAS: ROOTS AND REBIRTH OF THE FOLKLORIC DEVIL

Book ID/图书代码： 07633017C00047

English Summary/英文概要： With the appearance of the demonic Christmas character Krampus in contemporary Hollywood movies, television shows, advertisements and greeting cards, medieval folklore has now been revisited in European and American cultures. Krampus-related events and parades occur both in North America and Europe, and they are an ever-growing phenomenon.

Though the Krampus figure has once again become iconic, not much can be found about its history and meaning, thus calling for a book like Al Ridenour’s THE KRAMPUS: ROOTS AND REBIRTH OF THE FOLKLORIC DEVIL. With Krampus’s wild, graphic history, Feral House has hired the awarded designer Sean Tejaratchi to take on Ridenour’s book about this ever-so-curious figure.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 随着在当代好莱坞电影、电视节目、广告和贺卡上出现的“恶魔圣诞”形象的出现，中世纪的民间传说在欧洲和美国文化中得到了重新审视。坎卜斯狂暴的事件和游行在北美和欧洲都有发生，它们是一个不断增长的现象。

尽管坎卜斯的形象再次成为了标志性的人物，但它的历史和意义却没有太多的发现，因此，他呼吁像艾尔•里德诺的“坎卜斯”:民间的恶魔的根源和重生。在坎卜斯的狂野、生动的历史中，野性的房子已经聘请了肖恩•特哈拉奇的设计师，肖恩•特哈拉奇的这本书是关于这个不寻常的人物的。（WYL）

He holds BAs in German and English literature, has worked as an author, journalist, animator and artist and has been a fixture in the West Coast underground art community since the mid-1990s. His Krampus research has taken him to the Austrian Alps and Munich, and brought him in contact with cultural anthropologists working in Salzburg and Vienna as well as members of contemporary European Krampus groups. In 2013, Ridenour co-founded Krampus Los Angeles. Ridenour has translated and produced the only English-language version of the 19th-century Krampus play, written and lectured on the topic at the Goethe-Institut and exhibited his Krampus suits at the University of Southern California’s Doheny Museum.
