  • Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio's World
    Travestimento/Travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio’s World Scott Antonio Failla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Scott Antonio Failla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Travestimento/travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio’s World Scott Antonio Failla Travestimento/travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio’s World examines Boccaccio’s use of masquerade to parody social conventions and invert the cultural themes characterizing fourteenth-century Italy. Its aim is to demonstrate the myriad ways in which the medieval author masks and unmasks characters—often using gender as performance—to gain access to either sublimated sexuality or forbidden power, and ultimately to reveal rather than conceal human nature. This study offers a close reading of the Ninfale fiesolano and five novellas (2.3, 2.9, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.2) of the Decameron, focusing on characters that go beyond their usual identity and/or the limits of their biological sex to occupy transgendered spaces. Today, our understanding of gender studies encompasses a far more inclusive understanding of the term “gender.” This dissertation begins with the concept that gender is fluid and performative, and that though the body may be fixed, its gender is not confined to restrictions imposed on it by society. Some of Boccaccio’s characters, accordingly, occupy multiple gendered spaces while assuming the identity of another sex, in particular Zinevra/Sicurano, the abbot/princess, and Africo (Chapters Two, Three, and Four). Although far from the transformations found in the mythological world of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Boccaccio’s tales offer the “metamorphosis” of the masquerade, that is, a false outward show, a pretense, or façade that oftentimes is achieved through disguise or costume.

  • A Retold Fairy Tale
    Mayer 1 Anna Mayer BFA Dance - Studio Concert April 4, 2011 Rose… a Retold Fairy Tale "When a fairy tale 'works,' it works itself into our bloodstream and never leaves." - Jack Zipes (Brothers & Beasts 184-5) Preface Rose, a modern dance piece, is a retold fairy tale created for my Bachelor of Fine Arts senior concert. During the nine-month process, I conceived, designed, and directed the piece in preparation for our final performance (Irey Theatre, March 11-13, 2011). A digital video record- ing of the performance is available in the University of Colorado archives. This paper is an ex- ploration of my intentions and influences during the process, as well as a retrospective analysis of the piece’s unforeseen impact. Archetype and Queer Feminism The dance piece, Rose, came to my mind nearly fully-formed – though hazy and frag- mented - in the way that the remnants of a dream resurface after waking. I already had the in- formation, the fairy tales; they had worked themselves into my bloodstream and never left, from my childhood viewing of Disney's Beauty and the Beast to my readings (and re-readings) of con- temporary retellings such as Francesca Lia Block's Rose and the Beast. I already knew the char- Mayer 2 acters, deep down - they were inside me, in the way that archetypes reside within us across cen- turies. My job was to cultivate the most potent stories, to foster the characters (both within the performers and myself), and to shape the hazy fragments of my imagination into a story worth telling.

  • Weiblichkeit Zwischen Hausarbeit Und Initiation
    LYDIA MÜHLBACH WEIBLICHKEIT ZWISCHEN HAUSARBEIT UND INITIATION Das Grimm’sche S(ch)neewittchen und ausgewählte Adaptionen 1. Arbeit im Märchen: Aspekte von Gender und Genre Die von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm gesammelten und mehrfach bearbeiteten Kin- der- und Hausmärchen waren der Beginn romantischer Kinder- und Jugendliteratur in Deutschland und sind noch heute ein bedeutendes Dokument deutscher Kul- turgeschichte.1 Die Herausgabe war von bürgerlichen Moralvorstellungen des an- gehenden 19. Jahrhunderts beeinflusst;2 als didaktisch ausgerichtete ‚Volkspoesie‘ wirken die Märchen bis heute auf gesellschaftliche Werte und Normen zurück. Die Sammlung bildet ein signifikantes Zeitzeugnis bürgerlicher Kultur, in dem auch der Arbeitsdiskurs und die Geschlechterbilder entsprechenden Vorstellungen un- terliegen und beispielsweise regelmäßige Arbeit und das spezifische Familienideal als bürgerliche Norm vorgeführt werden.3 Dass in den bekannteren Volksmärchen der Kleinen Ausgabe (1825) vorrangig weibliche Hauptfiguren und ihre Handlungen beschrieben werden, wurde bereits häufig festgestellt.4 Dabei tendiert die Grimm’sche Sammlung zum Stereotyp der bürgerlichen Frau.5 Durch die „weiblich dominierte Traditions- und Erzählsphäre“ 6 vieler Märchen sowie durch den daraus resultierenden vorrangig weiblichen Adres- satenkreis (rollenspezifische Erziehung) und Erwartungshorizont7 werden in ihnen 1 Im Folgenden durch KHM abgekürzt. Die Sammlung erschien in sieben Auflagen (1812/1815, 1819, 1837, 1840, 1843, 1850 und 1857). Zudem publizierten die Grimms eine Kleine Ausgabe mit 50 Texten aus der Sammlung, die von 1825 bis 1858 in zehn Aufla- gen herausgegeben wurde. 2 Sowohl die Grimms als auch die meisten ihrer Quellen waren im bürgerlichen Milieu situ- iert. 3 Zur bürgerlichen Kultur, ihrem Verbreitungsanspruch bei gleichzeitiger Abgrenzung zu Adel und nicht-bürgerlicher Unterschicht vgl.

  • The Tale of Charles Perrault and Puss in Boots Morna Daniels
    The Tale of Charles Perrault and Puss in Boots Morna Daniels In 1697 Charles Perrault published a small volume Histoires ou contes du temps passé, which became the source for a huge progeny of children’s books,pantomimes, ballets and folklore.1 The frontispiece of the first French edition shows an old lady telling stories by the fire-side, and a plaque above her reads Contes de ma mere LOye.2 In the first English edition, there is a similar picture, and the plaque is translated as Mother Goose’s Tales.This was the first time the French term appeared in an English book. In France it indicated that the story was a traditional one, told by old women who minded geese, or who cackled like geese; but in England it became applied to Perrault’s tales, which were often published without mentioning his name. Mother Goose entered the world of pantomime, often in association with Perrault’s characters. The stories were widely diffused, then re-collected by later folklore researchers, so that the Brothers Grimm collected German versions, believing them to be folk traditions. Not all of Perrault’s stories became equally popular.The eight stories in his collection were La belle au bois dormant, Le petit chaperon rouge, La barbe bleue, Le maître chat, ou le chat botté; Les fées,Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre; Riquet à la houppe and Le petit Poucet.These are usually translated as ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Bluebeard’, ‘Puss in Boots’, ‘The fairies’ (or ‘The fairy’),‘Cinderella’,‘Riquet with the tuft’, and ‘Hop o’ my thumb’.

  • The Fictional World of the Renaissance and Baroque Fairy Tale
    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY – ITALIAN ACADEMY FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN AMERICA PROJECT TITLE: PATHOS FORMULAS AND ABSTRACTION IN G.F. STRAPAROLA AND G.B. BASILE FAIRY TALES EZIO PUGLIA **BACKGROUND PAPER**PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE** Emerging interiorities: the fictional world of the Renaissance and Baroque fairy tale When you know that there is no design, you know also that there is no chance: for it is only where there is a world of design that the word “chance” has a meaning. Nietzsche This paper and the accompanying talk are concerned with very diverse problems that I have been studying in the last couple of years. I will spare you most of the theoretical and textual details of my research, but it is necessary to introduce here a certain number of essential concepts and historical notions (please be patient). First of all, though, I have to assert plainly why fairy tales deserve our attention. This is due to a simple reason: since the beginning of the 19th century they have been used as a powerful medium for social reproduction in Western societies. A medium that was shaped, of course, to be affecting children in particular. Maybe not all of you know that fairy tales had to be deeply reworked both to convey moral values and to conform to the modern image of childhood, whose most prominent feature is the thorough separation from adulthood. Especially 19th- and early 20th-century pedagogy recognized fairy tales as strategic and influential means by which an array of ethical principles, ITALIAN ACADEMY FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN AMERICA - SPRING 2018 – FELLOWS SEMINAR desires, social roles and behaviors could be transmitted to the generations to come1.
