    Who's Afraid of the Brothers Grimm?: Socialization and Politization through Fairy Tales Jack Zipes The Lion and the Unicorn, Volume 3, Number 2, Winter 1979-80, pp. 4-41 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/uni.0.0373 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/247386 Access provided by University of Mary Washington & (Viva) (19 Sep 2017 17:43 GMT) Who's Afraid of the Brothers Grimm? Socialization and Politization through Fairy Tales Jack Zipes Over 170 years ago the Brothers Grimm began collecting original folk tales in Germany and stylized them into potent literary fairy tales. Since then these tales have exercised a pro- found influence on children and adults alike throughout the western world. Indeed, whatever form fairy tales in general have taken since the original publication of the Grimms' nar- ratives in 1812, the Brothers Grimm have been continually looking over our shoulders and making their presence felt. For most people this has not been so disturbing. However, during the last 15 years there has been a growing radical trend to over- throw the Grimms' benevolent rule in fairy-tale land by writers who believe that the Grimms' stories contribute to the creation of a false consciousness and reinforce an authoritarian sociali- zation process. This trend has appropriately been set by writers in the very homeland of the Grimms where literary revolutions have always been more common than real political ones.1 West German writers2 and critics have come to

  • Historia Kosmopolity Z Zabrza
    Angela Bajorek, Dariusz Walerjański Od Eckerta do Janoscha : historia kosmopolity z Zabrza Wieki Stare i Nowe 6(11), 140-150 2014 Angela Bajorek Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny im. KEN w Krakowie Dariusz Walerjański Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zabytkami Zabrza Od Eckerta do Janoscha Historia kosmopolity z Zabrza Gdyby nie zagmatwana historia jego i jego rodziny, wszyscy czytelnicy znaliby go dziś zapewne jako Horsta Eckerta alias Janosch. Ojciec pisarza — Johann Valen- tin Eckert (1903—1983), drobny handlarz, przemytnik, zwolennik bimbru i prze- mocy domowej, nazywa tak swego pierworodnego na cześć niemieckiego działacza nazistowskiego Horsta Wessela, zastrzelonego w 1930 roku przez członka komu- nistycznej partii i uznanego w III Rzeszy za męczennika za narodowy socjalizm. Johann Eckert jest tak bardzo zafascynowany postacią młodego Wessela, studenta prawa w Berlinie oraz autora tekstu hymnu partyjnego NSDAP, że w sierpniu 1933 roku w Zabrzu bierze czynny udział w postawieniu ogromnego 30­‍tonowego głazu narzutowego z tablicą pamiątkową na cześć Horsta Wessela — sutenera, miłośnika prostytutek, jak mówili o nim jego przeciwnicy. Plac, na którym stał pomnik, został nazwany w 1939 roku również jego imieniem, dopiero po wojnie przemianowano go na plac Słowiański. Imię, które Janosch uważa za „niezniszczalną obrazę”1, pozostało na zawsze, a po obelisku nie ma już śladu, według lokalnej legendy nie został on bowiem w 1945 roku ani wywieziony, ani zniszczony, lecz z uwagi na swe gabaryty prawdopodobnie strącono go w głęboki dół wykopany pod nim2. Janosch urodził się 11 marca 1931 roku w zaborskiej robotniczej Porembie, w familoku przy ulicy Ciupkaweg 6 (Philipp Ciupka to znany zabrzański piekarz), późniejszej Piekarskiej3, który w 2005 roku wyburzono z uwagi na budowę Dro- 1 E­‍mail Janoscha do A.
