- W16442144 abstract "The field of international folk narratives has lost one of its most gifted and kind members. There is no doubt that the untimely death of Pack Carnes will be mourned not only here in the United States but also in his native country of Germany as well as in Japan, where Pack lived and worked for many years as well. He was well known in North America, Europe, and Asia, and students and scholars alike benefitted greatly not only from his invaluable writings on fables and jokes but also from his energizing presence at many national and international meetings. Pack Carnes was an institution, a very special colleague and a true friend. Always supportive and helpful, Pack made sure that the folklore profession remained a humane discipline, and he engaged his students and colleagues in doing serious interdisciplinary and international work. Pack Carnes has left us, and we are deeply saddened by this loss. But his spirit and his scholarly accomplishments will remain and in this way he will always be a presence in folk narrative studies. Pack Carnes was born on November 25, 1939, on the HMS Guadelupe in the harbor of New York City, clearly an indication that he would become a globetrotter in the best sense of that word. From 1943-1953 he attended a Jesuit boarding school in Freiburg, Germany, where he received a superb education, notably in the Latin language which was to serve him so well in his fable scholarship and which set him on his way to becoming one of the exceptionally gifted polyglot scholars in the field. Of course, while studying Latin, Greek, English, and French at this school, he added Danish to it because of his summer vacations in Copenhagen, Denmark. Russian was picked up later during his university studies. He then attended the German University of Freiburg and the Free University of Berlin and lived in Japan from 1964-1970. As we all know, his wife Reiko stems from Japan, and Pack continued his travels and extended stays in Tokyo throughout his life, enjoying the Japanese language and culture also with their daughter Tephie. Fortunately for American folklorists Pack Carnes decided to settle in the United States, and it was here where he earned his M.A. (1970) and Ph.D. (1973) degrees in Germanic Languages and Literatures at the University of California at Los Angeles. There he had the good fortune to have professors Wayland D. Hand and Eli Sobel as his major mentors. His dissertation on Heinrich Steinhowell 's `Esopus and the German-Latin Corpus of Aesopica of the Sixteenth Century marked the beginning of his life-long occupation with fable literature. His teaching career is a diverse one indeed. Not only did he teach at such renowned universities as Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, San Francisco State, Arizona State, University of Arizona, and Cincinnati, he also earned appointments as professor of German, Folklore, Anthropology, and Japanese. Since 1987 he had been teaching at Lake Forest College outside of Chicago as professor of Japanese and Folklore, and his dozen years at this institution made him an invaluable resource to students and colleagues alike. The list of courses taught shows clearly the breadth and depth of this engaging teacher and dedicated scholar. Among the many courses that his students were privileged to take were: The Fable, Germanic Folklore, Forms of Folklore, Japanese Folklore, The Joke, American Folklore, Folklore in Shakespeare, Mythology and the Epic, Medieval German Literature, History of the German Language, etc. And, of course, he also taught many courses in the German, Japanese, and Latin languages at all levels. His work as a scholar was supported by numerous prestigious grants, including Fulbright and National Endowment of the Humanities fellowships. The results of these labors are stunning indeed. Especially in his earlier career, while living and working in Japan, he published dozens of articles and books both in Japanese and English in the fields of language pedagogy, linguistics, and folklore. …" @default.
