  • Hans Christian Andersen's Use of Anthropomorphismi
    Hans Christian Andersen’s Use of Anthropomorphismi Julia Shore Paludan, Lecturer, Sapienza, University of Rome Abstract The topic of anthropomorphism in Hans Christian Andersen’s tales has been discussed with students in classes in Danish Language and Literature at Sapienza, University of Rome (La Sapienza, Università di Roma) both for the purpose of the translation of his works and for understanding the meanings of the imagery in the studied works. Anthropomorphism is a common theme in many of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. Andersen’s symbolic use of nature, household objects, trinkets, toys and even birds, is an important theme in many of his works. He bestows human emotions on animate and inanimate objects, such as love and envy, often with an added touch of humour or irony. Andersen conveys issues of often sombre or tragicomic content, sometimes through allegorical tales and myths, that although they are not necessarily easily translatable or culturally transferable, appeal universally to all generations and nationalities. Andersen’s personification of animals also provides a subtle disguise for graver issues such as loss, and the struggle for freedom. The use of anthropomorphism and symbolism also allows younger readers access to complex and universal issues. Introduction The topic of this paper arose from the teaching of Danish language and literature to students at Sapienza University of Rome. Using a number of Andersen’s works, the specific use and meanings of anthropomorphic imagery was introduced and discussed; both as how this imagery could be translated and understood in Italian, and what they evoked through themes such as love, desire and freedom.

  • Bicentenary Literary Adaptations of Hc Andersen
    UDC 821.113.4 Rennesa Jessup Minnesota State University TRAVELING COMPANIONS: BICENTENARY LITERARY ADAPTATIONS OF H. C. ANDERSEN TALES Adaptation is broadly defined, encompassing the re-working of virtually any kind of text into virtually any other kind of text. Moreover, it frequently involves the re-mediation of texts into entirely new forms. Even so, seemingly simple text-to- text adaptation of texts already frequently subject to adaptation can challenge both traditional and theoretical concepts of adaptation. Such was the case with a major Danish literary project undertaken in 2005. Danish State Railways, Dansk statsbaner (DSB) commissioned a series of adaptations of Hans Christian Andersen tales to be published in the DSB onboard magazine Ud & Se [Out & See] to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of H. C. Andersen’s birth. Resulting from the project were twelve original stories by twelve Danish authors: Pia Juul, Jan Sonnergaard, Ib Michael, Iselin Hermann, Preben Major Sørensen, Suzanne Brøgger, Bent Vinn Nielsen, Peter Laugesen, Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Lars Frost, Erling Jepsen, and Naja Marie Aidt. Each author adapted a different Andersen work, ranging from classics including “Den grimme ælling” [The Ugly Duckling], “Den lille havfrue” [The Little Mermaid], and “Kejserens nye klæder” [The Emperor’s New Clothes], to more obscure works such as “Dandse, dandse dukke min!” [Dance, Dance, My Doll!]. Issued in book form as Reisekammeraten og andre H. C. Andersen-historier i nye klæder [The Traveling Companion and Other H. C. Andersen Tales in New Clothes] (Copenhagen, 2005), the collection demonstrates a wide range of approaches to adaptation that seem to stretch the definition of adaptation to its limits.

  • An Agnostic Family's Christmas
    Tivoli Gardens and Hans Christian Andersen: A Tale of Confluence Story-based amusement parks and literary playgrounds are now coming into their own as witnessed by the tremendous success of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is now the most popular attraction at Universal Orland. However, the history of story-based amusement parks can be traced back to 1843 with the opening of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Initially intended to function as a “pleasure garden” for the residents of Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens gradually came to be associated with fairy tales in part because of the influence of Hans Christian Andersen. An examination of this history shows that Tivoli Gardens had an impact on Andersen’s fairy tales while Andersen’s fairy tales had an impact on the development of Tivoli Gardens. In many ways, this is a tale of confluence. The founder of Tivoli Gardens, Georg Carstensen, and Andersen knew each other through business connections, and Andersen followed Carstensen’s plans to build Tivoli Gardens. Andersen took a special interest in Carstensen’s plan to include a Chinese pavilion as one of the attractions. Andersen visited Tivoli Gardens during its first season, and he especially liked the whimsical Chinese pavilion, which was designed by the Danish architect H. C. Stilling. Inspired by this visit, Andersen wrote an original fairy tale titled “The Nightingale.” Andersen set this fairy tale in China, and he used the Tivoli Garden’s Chinese pavilion as the model for the Emperor’s palace. Over the history of Tivoli Gardens, Andersen’s fairy tales became incorporated into the park’s programing and attractions.

  • Teacher's Study Guide
    Teacher's Study Guide What's big and fat and pink and loves to dress up in fancy clothes? Give up? It's the Emperor in Grey Seal Puppets' clever adaptation of The Emperor’s New Clothes. The beloved Hans Christian Andersen classic takes on a whole new dimension as it is transformed into a fable. The crafty tailors have become foxes; the prime minister a near-sighted camel; and the councillor, a befuddled old walrus. Even the audience will take part-- as animals, of course! Characters and costume designs were inspired by the illustrations of Janet Stevens in The Emperor’s New Clothes published by Holiday House. ABOUT THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES Grey Seal Puppets brings to life the beloved Hans Christian Anderson classic tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes. This familiar story takes an unusual twist in this version; it is told as a fable. A pompous pig, quite taken with his appearance, is the perfect Emperor; a nearsighted camel and a befuddled walrus serve as his courtiers and two conniving foxes from the "shady side" are con men bent on getting rich off the Emperor's vanity. It takes the innocence of a small bear cub, unafraid to say what she truly feels, to awaken the conscience of the entire village. The timeless moral of this tale is honesty, but it also warns against vanity and self-indulgence. The audience will recognize the Emperor as a vain ruler who easily falls for the foxes' story of a magic cloth. Those who can see the cloth are smart and good at what they do.

Document Type: Critical essay, Excerpt Full Text: COPYRIGHT 1990 Gale Research, COPYRIGHT 2007 Gale, Cengage Learning Full Text: [An esteemed Danish literary critic and biographer, Brandes was the first prominent scholar to write extensively on Andersen. According to Elias Bredsdorff, Brandes was “the first scholar altogether who realised that Andersen's tales gave him an important and unique place in world literature and who saw that the tales themselves merited serious critical discussion.” In the following excerpt from an essay that is recognized as significant in Andersen scholarship, Brandes favorably assesses Andersen's tales, admiring in particular his ability to write as a child might think and speak.] To replace the accepted written language with the free, unrestrained language of familiar conversation, to exchange the more rigid form of expression of grown people for such as a child uses and understands, becomes the true goal of the author as soon as he embraces the resolution to tell nursery stories for children. He has the bold intention to employ oral speech in a printed work, he will not write but speak, and he will gladly write as a school-child writes, if he can thus avoid speaking as a book speaks. The written word is poor and insufficient, the oral has a host of allies in the expression of the mouth that imitates the object to which the discourse relates, in the movement of the hand that describes it, in the length or shortness of the tone of the voice, in its sharp or gentle, grave or droll character, in the entire play of the features, and in the whole bearing.
