  • Iron Hans Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
    Page 1 of 7 136 Iron Hans Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Once upon a time there was a king who had a great forest near his castle, full of all kinds of wild animals. One day he sent out a huntsman to shoot a deer, but the huntsman did not come back again. "Perhaps he has had an accident," said the king, and the following day he sent out two other huntsmen who were to search for him, but they did not return either. Then on the third day, he summoned all his huntsmen, and said, "Search through the whole forest, and do not give up until you have found all three." But none of these came home again either, nor were any of the hounds from the pack that they had taken with them ever seen again. From that time on, no one dared to go into these woods, and they lay there in deep quiet and solitude, and all that one saw from there was an occasional eagle or hawk flying overhead. This lasted for many years, when an unknown huntsman presented himself to the king seeking a position, and he volunteered to go into the dangerous woods. The king, however, did not want to give his permission, and said, "It is haunted in there. I am afraid that you will do no better than did the others, and that you will never come out again." The huntsman answered, "Sir, I will proceed at my own risk. I know nothing of fear." The huntsman therefore set forth with his dog into the woods.

  • Re-Envisaging Masculinity: the Struggle to Be Or Become A
    Re-Envisaging Masculinity: The Struggle to Be or Become a Man Some myths about masculine transformation, using the legends of ‘Parsifal’, ‘Iron John’ and ‘Prince Lindworm’ COURTENAY YOUNG Abstract There are a multitude of historical myths that Joseph Campbell (1969) called “roadmaps” to masculine development: many are out of date or (now) culturally inappropriate; most are ignored; and much has been forgotten. The Jungian analyst, Robert Johnson re-examined the Arthurian myth of Parsifal in his book, He: Understanding Masculine Psychology; additionally, the American poet and promoter of the ‘Wild Man’ movement, Robert Bly, uses the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale of Iron John (Iron Hans) in his ‘lexiconography’; and there is also a dark and ancient Scandinavian fairytale called, Prince Lindworm, that speaks about the redemption of a ‘monstrous’ prince through the persistence against all odds and in the face of great fear, of a naïve and innocent girl. All these three myths or legends talk about the transformation of a ‘boy’ (or a potential monster) into a ‘man’. As with all old myths and fairy tales, there are numerous and varied versions – with different emphases – yet all with incredibly richness: however, they all have a common theme: possibly an unconscious one – the ‘struggle’ or ‘transformation’ that a boy has to go through to become a man. But this is not about the physical process of puberty; nor is it about a “rite of passage”; or even a social-cultural initiation; it is about a psycho-spiritual transformation that can happen at any time and that can be quite upsetting and provoking.

    GER 103: Fairy Tales in European Context Gen Ed Course Submission: for Inquiry – Humanitites 2 lectures PLUS 1 discussion section: Professor Linda Kraus Worley 1063 Patterson Office Tower Phone: 257 1198 E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Wednesdays 10 - 12; Fridays 10 – 12 and by appointment FOLKTALES AND FAIRY TALES entertain and teach their audiences about culture. They designate taboos, write out life scripts for ideal behaviors, and demonstrate the punishments for violating the collective and its prescribed social roles. Tales pass on key cultural and social histories all in a metaphoric language. In this course, we will examine a variety of classical and contemporary fairy and folktale texts from German and other European cultures, learn about approaches to folklore materials and fairy tale texts, and look at our own culture with a critical-historical perspective. We will highlight key issues, values, and anxieties of European (and U.S.) culture as they evolve from 1400 to the present. These aspects of human life include arranged marriage, infanticide, incest, economic struggles, boundaries between the animal and human, gender roles, and class antagonisms. Among the tales we will read and learn to analyze using various interpretive methods are tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, by the Italians Basile and Straparola, by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French writers such as D‘Aulnoy, de Beaumont, and Perrault, by Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde. We will also read 20th century re-workings of classical fairy tale motifs. The course is organized around clusters of Aarne, Thompson and Uther‘s ―tale types‖ such as the Cinderella, Bluebeard, and the Hansel-and-Gretel tales.

However, with my independent study project on hold until I could find an advisor, I began brainstorming a Moroccan-themed fantasy story. Once I started my field research, many of my findings and observations about modern and traditional healing practices for the mentally disabled in the context of the Moroccan family enriched my developing world.

  • The Indecisive Feminist: Study of Anne Sexton's Revisionist Fairy Tales
    Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 6 No. 1; February 2015 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia The Indecisive Feminist: Study of Anne Sexton's Revisionist Fairy Tales Nadia Fayidh Mohammed College of Arts, University of Mustanserya Baghdad, Iraq. E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.1p.31 Received: 12/09/2014 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.1p.31 Accepted: 15/11/2014 Abstract Fairy tales to female writers are major resource for their abundant writings, but for the feminist poets since 1960s, they become essential subject matter to often deal with in their literary production. With the motivation to address the conventional tradition of patriarchal society, and re-address the stereotype females inhabiting these tales, feminist writers set upon revealing the underlying sub-context of these tales, presenting them with more adult-suited themes. Anne Sexton's Transformation is a pioneering revision of Grimm's fairy tales in which the poet does not only satirize the patriarchal society she grew up in, but she also rejects the female stereotype that her upbringing intended her to be. In the following paper, the feminist messages which Sexton's fairy tales intended to deliver are examined to reveal the poet's position concerning feminism and her relationship with female role-models and the male figures she presents in her fairy tales. Keywords: Anne Sexton, feminism, fairy tales, revisionism, postmodernist poetry, Transformations 1. Introduction Gina Dalfonzo, in reviewing Disney's new fairytale-based movie "Frozen", reported that having the prince charming turning to villain was the scariest element in the movie [Dalfonzo, 2013: 1+].

  • Gendered Chthonic Imagery in Robert Bly's Iron John
    Çankaya Üniversitesi Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Journal of Arts and Sciences Sayı: 10 / Aralık 2008 What Our Darkness Tells Us: Gendered Chthonic Imagery in Robert Bly’s Iron John: A Book About Men and Ursula Le Guin’s The Tombs of Atuan “This thing of darkness, I acknowledge mine.” Prospero (The Tempest, Act V, Scene 1) Cem Kılıçarslan* Abstract The Jungian concept of the chthonic, or the underground, is a recurrent element in fantasy literature. An analysis of two works—Robert Bly’s Iron John: A Book About Men and Ursula Le Guin’s The Tombs of Atuan—the former with a male, the latter with a female protagonist, reveals that the imagery and themes of the chthonic have gendered connotations in fantastic narratives. Moreover, the chthonic functions differently for male and female characters in the formation of an individual Self. For males, the chthonic has a constructive function: it is necessary for the male psyche to experience the chthonic in order to be whole. For females, the chthonic has a destructive function: the female psyche has to undertake a destructive experience in order to save herself from domination as symbolized by the chthonic realm. Both experiences nevertheless result in a form of unification, or a wholeness of the Self, which is represented through coupling with a member of the opposite sex. Key words: Chthonic, Carl G. Jung, fantasy literature, Iron John, Robert Bly, Ursula Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan, gender, masculinity, femininity * Lecturer, Hacettepe University, Faculty of Letters Department of American Culture and Literature 53 What Our Darkness Tells Us: Gendered Chthonic Imagery in Robert Bly’s Iron John: A Book About Men and Ursula Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan Özet Jung psikolojisinin elementlerinden biri olan yeraltı (chthonic) teması ve ilintili imge ve kavramlar fantazi edebiyatının sıklıkla kullanılan öğelerindendir.
