Pippi Longstocking As Friedrich Nietzsche's Overhuman1
Confero | Vol. 4 | no. 1 | 2016 | pp. 97-135 | doi: 10.3384/confero.2001-4562.160111 Pippi Longstocking as Friedrich Nietzsche’s overhuman1 Michael Tholander n January 3, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche walks out from his lodging at Piazza Carlo Alberto in Turin. Suddenly, he witnesses a coachman flogging his old and tired horse. He rushes forward and throws himself around the horse’s Oneck in an attempt to protect it. Then, after bursting into tears, he falls to the ground, unconscious, perhaps struck, for the first time, by the serious symptoms of advanced syphilis.2 This event concluded Nietzsche’s prolific career at the early age of 44. It would be followed by more than a decade of crippling physical and mental disorder, before he died his second, and definitive, death on August 25, 1900. Thus, despite having 1 This essay is a rewritten and extended English version of the one published in connection with the hundredth anniversary of the death of Nietzsche: Tholander, Michael (2000). Friedrich Nietzsche – och Pippi Långstrump. Tvärsnitt, 22(3), 2-17. 2 Other theories suggest that Nietzsche suffered from a series of strokes, from dementia or from brain cancer, or that he fell victim to a combination of these maladies. See, e.g., Butler, Paul (2011). A Stroke of Bad Luck: CADASIL and Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Dementia” or Madness. In P. McNamara (Ed.), Dementia: History and Incidence. Santa Barbara: Praeger. Michael Tholander declared the exacting precept “Die at the right time!”3 in his most well-known book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche, quite ironically, died all too early, as well as all too late.

Department of ^ ^ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada ABSTRACT This thesis, both philosophical exploration and literary analysis, examines the image of childhood within the text of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking (1945). Through a close textual analysis of three separate passages, one from each of the Pippi books, the thesis writer considers the phenomenological experience of childhood as portrayed through the character of Pippi Longstocking and her friends Tommy and Annika. By considering the ways in which specific words, phrases and descriptions render the author's expression of childhood, the thesis writer proposes a more accurate appreciation for the broad and enduring appeal of the book than has been made to this point.

Pippi Longstocking” by Astrid Lindgren, and a Troll‟S Legend “...”
Nardei Marzia 73932 Barbari Silvia 73774 Professor: Bortoluzzi Maria and Dott. Mityana Vaccaro Academic year: 2007/2008 HOME SWEET HOME!! 1. WHY PROJECT WORK? There are a lot of reasons in choosing “project work”. As mentioned in “Project with young learners” (Philips Diana, Burwood Sarah, Dunford Helen, 1999), a project is organized in a way that children can have an active role and be aware of what they are doing. In it every activity is linked one to the other and none of the children have a passive part. It will educate the whole child: using a wide range of skills such as intellectual skills, physical/motor skills, social skills and learner independence skills. Everybody feels involved and at the same time has the opportunity to challenge him/herself overcoming his/her own limits. “This approach encourages emotional and personal development. Wherever possible, children are given an opportunity to produce work which is personal and individual, which reflects their ideas, tastes, and interests; they are encouraged to express their feelings, and their opinions are sought and valued” (Philips, Burwood, Dunford, 1999:6). Children have a natural curiosity for language and fascination with projects that challenge them to use a range of talents, skills and material in a creative way. It will inspire pupils to make a variety of “products” and encourage them to work collaboratively in order to reach the same aims. Children at this age, see parents as their first and almost unique reference point. In nursery school, the teachers also have a significant role from them. It‟s very important then, to have a dialogue between teachers and children‟s parents in order to have a common line in “educating” the children, that‟s why this project will be presented to the parents first and then it can start during the lessons.

Chapter 1: Pippi Moves Into Villa Villekulla
Chapter 1: Pippi Moves into Villa Villekulla On the outskirts of a tiny little town was an old neglected garden. In the garden stood an old house, and in that house lived Pippi Longstocking. She was nine years old, and she lived there all alone. She had no mother or father, which was actually quite nice, because it meant that no one could tell her that she had to go bed just when she was having most fun. And no one could make her take cod liver oil when she would rather eat sweets. Once upon a time Pippi did have a father whom she loved very much. And of course she once had a mother too, but that was so long ago that she couldn't remember her at all. Her mother died when Pippi was a tiny little baby, lying in her cot and crying so terribly that no one could stand to come near. Pippi thought that her mother was now up in heaven, peering down at her daughter through a hole. Pippi would often wave to her and say, 'Don't worry! I can always look after myself!' But Pippi had not forgotten her father. He was a sea captain who sailed the great seas, and Pippi had sailed with him on his ship until one day a big storm blew him overboard and he disappeared. But Pippi was sure that one day he would come back. She didn't believe that he had drowned. She believed that he had washed ashore on an island that was inhabited by natives and that her father had become king of them all.

Economic globalization is made responsible for the loss of jobs; critics claim that benefits have been taken away by the elite. Who profited from globalization and where certain stretches of society abandoned along the road? What would the European societies have looked like without globalization? Politically, free trade and liberalization of capital movements have prompted some to ask whether democratic decision-making decides anything any more. Are politicians only adapting to circumstances they do not control. This reproach has been directed against globalization as such and the EU in particular.

Gotland in collaboration with Region Gotland Photo: Region Gotland/Turistbyrån There’s something very special about Gotland. It might be the light, the beaches and the ever present sea.

You’re welcome to discover and explore this one-of-a-kind island, or to rest.

The Dark Side of Astrid Lindgren
Carole Scott Harnessing the monstrous: the dark side of Astrid Lindgren No ordinary girl “Pippi was no ordinary girl”, (Lindgren 1997, 69) Astrid Lindgren tells us in one of her characteristic ironic understatements. The read- er certainly has no quarrel with this observation. Although, unlike Karlsson on the Roof she doesn’t have a propeller on her back, Pippi is extraordinary in other ways. Lindgren always begins by describing her strange looks – carrot-red hair in braids that stick out, a nose like a potato, patches on her clothes and unmatched stockings – and her house and its inhabitants – a run-down dwelling in an overgrown garden with a monkey in a straw hat and a horse as roommates. But these outward idiosyncrasies are nothing in comparison with her power and her strength. Able to lift her horse and toss any number of men into the air without effort, she can also walk tightropes or plank bridges suspended in space, run on top of roofs and leap onto trees, ride bareback standing up, climb a tree with a filled coffee- pot in her hand, shoot a rifle with unerring accuracy, eat poisonous mushrooms without effect, and steer a ship through storms. “Don’t you worry about me. I’ll always come out on top”, (Lindgren 1997, 3) she informs us. This little whirlwind is always the center of chaos and destruction. She is certainly a disrupter of conventional life and appropriate be- havior, by means of whom Lindgren attacks the petty rules and ty- ranny that adults too often use to restrain children’s joy in life.

The British and German Translations of Pippi Longstocking
THE BRITISH AND GERMAN TRANSLATIONS OF PIPPI LONGSTOCKING – A TRANSLATIONAL STYLISTICS ANALYSIS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Leicester By Margrethe Stuttaford Department of Modern Languages University of Leicester 2020 Cover Page THE BRITISH AND GERMAN TRANSLATIONS OF PIPPI LONGSTOCKING – A TRANSLATIONAL STYLISTICS ANALYSIS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Leicester By Margrethe Stuttaford Department of Modern Languages University of Leicester 2020 i Abstract The British and German Translations of Pippi Longstocking A Translational Stylistics Analysis By Margrethe Stuttaford This project examines the representation and reception of Astrid Lindgren’s first Pippi Longstocking book through its initial translations into English and German. The main corpus consists of the British translation (1954), the West German translation (1949) and the East German version (1975) of the Swedish source text (1945), which are compared with the early US translation (1950) as well as later retranslations into English (2007) and a reedition into German (2007). The project’s methodology builds on Malmkjær’s Translational Stylistics, which aims at analysing the impact of stylistic choices on processes of meaning-making in translation. The methodology is used in combination with a comparative focus on children’s literature in various cultures and on sociological frameworks to analyse the translation of Pippi Longstocking into selected target cultures. The analysis interprets the various types of changes and shifts used in the respective translations and considers both their impact on the meaning of the text and their link with literary, cultural and translational contexts and norms.

We hope you’ll enjoy finding out the answers and following Pippi and her friends! YOU CAN BE A GREATGREAT AUDIENCE!AUDIENCE! Here’s how… Being a member of an audience is different from watching TV at home or even watching a movie at a movie theatre. There will be lights and a set with props and actors who will sing and dance. There will be musicians, too. Everyone involved in the performance has spent a lot of time rehearsing the show. Live performances are also different from TV or movies because once the performance begins, the actors cannot start over nor “do another take.” That’s why they rehearse so much! Your job as the audience at a performance is to both listen and watch carefully.
