Registration form: Resurrection – T-Bone Slim Corpus and Database Launching Event

Warmly welcome to celebrate the launching of the T-Bone Slim Corpus and Database!

 

Monday 20 May 2024 at 15:00–17:00
(hybrid event)

 

Matti Valentinpoika Huhta (1882–1942), better known under his pseudonym “T-Bone Slim,” was one of the most seminal figures in the US Labor movement. He was a legendary hobo, songwriter, poet, and columnist in the periodicals of the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World). However, he stayed out of the limelight, and his identity remained a mystery to most of his readers. The Kone Foundation funded project “T-Bone Slim and the transnational poetics of the migrant left in North America” (2022–2023) has created a corpus and database consisting published and unpublished works of T-Bone Slim. The corpus and database will be published online in the Language Bank of Finland.

 

The launching event is a hybrid event and open to the public. The program can be followed both via Zoom and on-site at the Finnish Literature Society. Please register for the event if you wish to follow the programme remotely. Register by May 19th, 23:59 (UTC +3).

 

The Zoom link will be send prior to the event on 20 May morning.
