坎卜斯一詞源自中古高地德語(krampen),意指「爪子」,為阿爾卑斯山地區民間故事中的神怪角色。相傳坎卜斯頭長角,具一隻畸形人足與一條山羊腿,全身長滿黑毛,並有一條腥紅、宛如龍蛇之長舌。在波斯尼亞和黑塞哥維那以及克羅地亞等地區,坎卜斯則是位腰繫布袋,脖子、腳踝和手腕等部位鐵鏈纏身的惡魔。依照傳統,聖尼古拉斯送禮時,好孩子會得到一根金樹枝,以表彰他一年的善行;反之坎卜斯則會奪走壞孩子的禮物,留下銀樹枝以告誡其種種壞行為。對於乖逆無良的不肖子,則飽以棍棒以示懲戒,甚至將之裝袋後拖行至死者的世界。 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 American culture. 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. Al Ridenour has lectured on Krampus at the Goethe Institutes in Los Angeles. He became somewhat of an internet phenomenon himself due to the hilarious hijinks he coordinated with the controversial Cacophony Societies. |
| ■艾爾.李德諾/Al Ridenour Al Ridenour: A native of Pasadena, California, Al Ridenour holds BA's 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 dozens of members of contemporary European Krampus groups. In 2013, Ridenour co-founded Krampus Los Angeles, an organization that’s made the city ground zero for American Krampusmania. Ridenour has translated and produced the only English-language version of 19th-century Krampus play, written articles, and lectured on the topic at the international Goethe-Institut and elsewhere, and exhibited his Krampus suits at the University of Southern California's Doheny Museum |
