Hart, Chair This dissertation investigates the effects of oral storytelling on collective memory and the influence of new media on the storytelling process. The inquiry focuses on how retelling and reinterpreting folk stories updates and changes a community’s interpretations of the past to fit with current beliefs and expectations. I illustrate this through analyzing a range of retellings of traditional tales from the nineteenth century to the present through the lenses of memory studies, folklore, and performance studies. Through this analysis I unpack some of the ways the stories we tell affect the ways we see the past—whether real or imagined—and conversely, the ways that changing interpretations of the past affect the stories we tell. ix Introduction: Situating Storytelling “Darling, everyone is a storyteller.” – Duncan Williamson, folksinger Storytelling is ever-present in our lives, and yet it is often taken so much for granted that we are scarcely aware of it. We tell stories to pass the time, for entertainment, and for sympathy, understanding, and persuasion. Stories are our means of understanding the world. Humans are so inclined to tell stories that, given the opportunity, we opt to connect events and rationalize what has taken place rather than let them sit unconnected in isolation. Take for example this simple exercise:1 The man meets the woman. I walk her dog. The boy visits with flowers. Looking at these three simple sentences, our minds quickly begin to draw connections between them. Am I walking the woman’s dog so that she may meet up with the man? Is the boy bringing flowers the man has ordered for the woman on their date? In truth, there is no inherent connection between these three sentences, they have been selected at random and yet our brains are already working to see the connections between them—to tell a story. The human brain, above all, likes to make sense of things even if, as with this example, it needs to make it up. It is also important to note here that we are often completely unaware that we are creating connections where none previously existed: our brains want to make sense of the world—to explain our surroundings—and drawing connections and conclusions (telling stories)

  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

  • Illustrating Classical French Fairy Tales*
    MEDIEVALISM AND MAGIC: ILLUSTRATING CLASSICAL FRENCH FAIRY TALES* Daphne M. Hoogenboezem ‘Once upon a time’: the emblematic opening phrase immediately places fairy tales in a distant but indefinite past. Judging from numer- ous modern illustrated editions for children, however, fairy tales seem to be set against a medieval background. Motifs that are associated with fairy tale books as well as medieval times include Gothic cas- tles with drawbridges, jousting knights and princesses locked up in towers. The setting seems relevant for some well-known tales, which, according to Jan Ziolkowski’s recent study, go back to the medieval period.1 Romantic authors in particular reevaluated popular culture and the Middle Ages. This would explain the medieval setting used in many nineteenth-century tales, including several tales from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales, 1812–1815). The connection between the classical French tales and the medieval is conveyed not only in the text, but also in the illustrations of Romantic artists like Gustave Doré and George Cruik- shank, who managed to impress the medievalist fairy tale setting firmly on our minds through their monumental fairy tale editions packed with crenellated towers and arched windows. However, these nineteenth-century illustrators did not start the medi- evalist fairy tale imagery, and their chiefly medieval visual interpreta- tion corresponds only partly to the text of the French tales, in which a historical setting is described that is far more ambiguous. Like many fairy tale authors of his day, Charles Perrault gave his fairy tales a medi - eval touch by referring to old towers, tournaments and knights.

  • Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries
    Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly M. Kistner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Gary G. Hamilton, Chair Steven Pfaff Katherine Stovel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Sociology ©Copyright 2014 Kelly M. Kistner University of Washington Abstract Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly Kistner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gary G. Hamilton Sociology Between 1838 and 1857 language scholars throughout Europe were inspired to create a new kind of dictionary. Deemed historical dictionaries, their projects took an unprecedented leap in style and scale from earlier forms of lexicography. These lexicographers each sought to compile historical inventories of their national languages and were inspired by the new scientific approach of comparative philology. For them, this science promised a means to illuminate general processes of social change and variation, as well as the linguistic foundations for cultural and national unity. This study examines two such projects: The German Dictionary, Deutsches Worterbuch, of the Grimm Brothers, and what became the Oxford English Dictionary. Both works utilized collaborative models of large-scale, long-term production, yet the content of the dictionaries would differ in remarkable ways. The German dictionary would be characterized by its lack of definitions of meaning, its eclectic treatment of entries, rich analytical prose, and self- referential discourse; whereas the English dictionary would feature succinct, standardized, and impersonal entries. Using primary source materials, this research investigates why the dictionaries came to differ.

  • Beauties Vs Beasts by Tatar.Pdf
    Page 1 of 6 Title: Beauties vs. Beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales Author(s): Maria M. Tatar Publication Details: The Brothers Grimm and Folktale. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1988. Source: Short Story Criticism. Ed. Rachelle Mucha and Thomas J. Schoenberg. Vol. 88. Detroit: Gale, 2006. From Literature Resource Center. Document Type: Critical essay Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2006 Gale, COPYRIGHT 2007 Gale, Cengage Learning [(essay date 1988) In the following essay, Tatar examines the textual history of the Bluebeard folktale in Nursery and Household Tales, contrasting narrative elements of "Mary's Child" and "Fowler's Fowl."] Fairy-tale beauties may all be very much alike, but there are two quite different types of beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales. First, there are the animal-grooms who make life unpleasant for many a female protagonist: these are the frogs, bears, hedgehogs, and other creatures that press themselves on attractive young girls. But these beasts invariably turn out to be handsome young princes in disguise and generally prove to be perfect gentlemen. The real fairy-tale beasts, even if they are beasts in only the figurative rather than the literal sense of the term, turn out to be murderers masquerading as civilized men: Bluebeard, the Robber Bridegroom (in the tale of that title), and the wizard in "Fowler's Fowl" ("Fitchers Vogel") are the most prominent examples in the Nursery and Household Tales. Bluebeard, the most infamous of this entire lot of beasts, entered the pages of the Grimms' collection, but only in its first edition. For the second, revised edition of 1819, the Grimms eliminated the tale, evidently because it was too close in both substance and verbal realization to its French source.

Because they are generally not written down, the same story might exist in many different versions. These stories were especially popular before most people were educated in how to read and write. But we still have different kinds of About the creators folktales today, such as “urban legends.” The Brothers Grimm In time, many folktales were written down. Some of the earliest collections were made in France and Adelheid Wette gave these stories the familiar name of fairy tales, because of the frequent presence of magical Engelbert Humperdinck beings in the stories. These stories were not originally told or written down for children. They contained violence and descriptions of horrible people and their actions. But many of the authors changed some of the traditional elements to make them more suitable for children. Synopsis of the Opera Folktales were often built around individual story elements or events that could be pieced together to make a new story. The original story of Hansel and Gretel probably started in the Medieval Ages Additional Resources during a great famine, and various traditional elements were used to create the story. For example, in the familiar Grimm version, Hansel and Gretel were able to find their way home by leaving a trail of stones.

This course examines the oral roots and multimedia afterlife of German fairy tales documented by the Brothers Grimm in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Depending on the instructor’s background, folk tales from different national traditions can be added to the curriculum. Core fairy tale themes and motifs will be discussed, as will later treatments of the narrative material, and theoretical approaches to understanding fairy tales from structuralist, psychoanalytical, feminist, and poststructuralist perspectives. After in-depth analysis of the Grimm fairy tales, the course explores Romantic literary fairy tales by Ludwig Tieck and E.T.A. Hoffmann, as well as twentieth-century appropriations of the fairy tales. Concluding discussions will engage with the pressing question of how contemporary individuals can mobilize these multiform cultural tales to help establish new social roles and identities.
