SUMMARY;CHARSET=UTF-8:2008 Spencer G. Shaw Lecture with Gerald McDermott
DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:At this year's Spencer G. Shaw lecture\, renowned children's author\, illustrator and filmmaker Gerald McDermott will give a talk titled "Heroes And Tricksters: A Mythic Journey." In his presentation\, he will illustrate how archetypal tales of the hero and the trickster can guide both children and adults on the path of life and connect us with our common humanity.\n\nThrough his bold\, graphic renderings of timeless tales from around the world\, McDermott communicates his deep understanding of the transformative power of myth. His work is an evocation of the human quest for unity and completeness. McDermott's color magic\, stylized figures and abstract motifs combine ancient imagery with contemporary design. He is the creator of more than twenty-five books and films and was the first Joseph Campbell Foundation fellow. His first book\, Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti\, was named a Caldecott Honor Book. His subsequent books include Arrow to the Sun: A Tale from the Pueblo\, which won the coveted Caldecott Medal\, and Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest\, another Caldecott Honor Book.\n\nThe Spencer G. Shaw Lecture\, focusing on literature and library services for children and young adults\, is funded by the Spencer G. Shaw Lectureship fund in honor of Professor Emeritus Spencer G. Shaw\, a renowned librarian\, storyteller and teacher. The lecture series was launched in May 1986 at the occasion of Spencer's retirement from the University of Washington School of Library and Information Science.
