Revista de filosofía 2 (2016) PRESENTACIÓN Catalina Elena Dobre En un mundo en el cual se promueve la lectura tipo “fast-food”, en el cual las ideas son válidas no por su valor, sino por el número de “likes”, en el cual los clásicos se han transformado en “tweets” o “facebook-post”, representa una verdadera resistencia el apego a la lectura profunda de los auténticos pensadores y el deseo de difundir sus ideas de manera seria. La revista Estudios Kierkegaardianos, surgió el año pasado por la necesidad de crear un espacio para trabajar y difundir el pensamiento del filósofo danés Søren Kierkegaard, pero también con la intención de ofrecer a sus colaboradores la oportunidad de compartir sus investigaciones, creando así esta resistencia ante el peligro que corre el autentico pensar de ser arrastrado por la futilidad de las innovaciones tecnológicas. Dado esto, nos alegra mucho anunciar este segundo número de la revista que sigue la labor de presentar nuevas traducciones, nuevas investigaciones de especialidad, así como nuevas reseñas. El hecho de que la revista tenga continuidad se debe al interés manifestado sobre la difusión del pensamiento de Søren Kierkegaard, creador de una filosofía sofisticada. Por eso agradecemos a nuestros colaboradores porque mediante su labor muestran la comprensión de que para ser un lector de Kierkegaard uno debe hacer el esfuerzo de estar a su altura, esfuerzo reflejado en una lectura pausada, de fondo y en interpretaciones elaboradas y actuales de su pensamiento. Recordamos que la revista tiene una estructura dividida en tres partes: la primera parte llamada Textos y contextos, que consiste en la elección de un texto inédito de algún contemporáneo de Kierkegaard, o de Kierkegaard mismo, texto traducido y comentado por especialistas; la segunda parte llamada Perspectivas kierkegaardianas se caracteriza por ser un espacio que invita a los colaboradores, interesados en diferentes interpretaciones del pensamiento kierkegaardiano, a compartir sus ideas mediante artículos sobre diferentes perspectivas de la filosofía de Kierkegaard; y la tercera parte, llamada Reseñas y nuevas publicaciones, tiene la intención de presentar reseñas de escritos recientes sobre el pensamiento kierkegaardiano, así como Estudios Kierkegaardianos. Revista de filosofía 2 (2016) 8 CATALINA ELENA DOBRE presentar una actualización bibliográfica de los escritos sobre el filósofo danés del año en curso. Dada esta estructura, para este segundo número abrimos la revista con Textos y contextos bajo la introducción de F. Nassim Bravo Jordán que nos explica el contexto y el por qué la elección del texto original de Hans Christian Andersen llamado Una comedia al aire libre. Vodevil en un acto basado en el drama cómico “El actor en contra de su voluntad”, un texto exitoso en la época, siendo a la vez un ataque directo al estilo literario del filósofo Søren Kierkegaard. Para una mejor comprensión, el traductor nos ofrece también, en esta primera parte, la respuesta directa del filósofo danés, llamada ¡Un momento, Señor Andersen!, escrito en el cual polemiza con Andersen. Los textos traducidos están seguidos de dos artículos originales escritos por especialistas: Klaus P. Mortensen y Poul Houe. La segunda parte, Perspectivas kierkegaardianas, presenta artículos inéditos que reflejan la vigencia de su pensamiento en la época actual, así como la interpretación de sus ideas en relación a varios pensadores como Bruckhardt, Habermas, Miguel de Unamuno, Adorno, o Horkheimer, sin mencionar el interesante análisis de uno de los Discursos edificantes, llamado

  • “The Art of Flying High” — Peter Fogtdal on Hans Christian Andersen's The
    SENSUS HISTORIAE ISSN 2082–0860 Vol. XXXI (2018/2) s. 169-184 Aldona Zańko Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań “The art of flying high” — Peter Fogtdal on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling in the light of the postmodern reality of existence Introduction airy tales constitute some of the most successful narratives ever created. FDue to the similarity of fairy-tale plotlines all around the globe, the fact that they have followed human societies since the origins of storytelling, as well as their ubiquitous presence in popular culture, fairy tales have been considered as universal literature, conveying fundamental truths about human existence. While investigating the fairy-tale heritage of the world, it proves hardly possible to pass over the legacy of Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish master of the literary fairy tale. His unprecedented take on the genre, where the seemingly straightforward narrative style, inspired by the oral tradition of the folktale, conveys double-layered messages appealing to both children and adults, still cannot be overestimated. Besides retaining popularity among the subsequent generations of readers, fairy tales written by Andersen, such as The ugly duckling, The Snow Queen, or The little mermaid, have provided a wealth of inspiration for artists of different times and backgrounds, and so they do up till now, but though on different terms. Particularly over the last few decades, scholars of the fairy-tale genre have noticed a remarkable increase of interest in the fairy-tale tradition among contemporary writers of fiction. The postmodern 169 Aldona Zańko “fairy-tale boom,” observed currently within all kinds of narrative media, from literature to video games, comes along with a substantial change in the intertextual use of fairy tales, which has been reported as follows: In last three decades (1975–2005), however, there has been a perceptible shift in the use of fairy tales by novelists and filmmakers.

  • THE BROTHERS GRIMM and HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN Cay
    THE BROTHERS GRIMM AND HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN Cay Dollerup, Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract In broad terms the genre we usually term ‘fairytales’ first appeared in France, whose culture and language are central to in European history, when Charles Perrault published Les Contes de ma Mère l’Oye (or Contes) in 1697. The genre was invigorated in Germany, notaby by the Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812) of the brothers Grimm. Both France and Germany were large nations and dominant in European cultural life, but small Denmark also stands out in the history of the Euro- pean fairytales in the 19th century. The reason is that the Dane Hans Christian Andersen wrote Eventyr (1835) that have also become well-known internationally. Andersen never credited the brothers Grimm as a source inspiration about his inspiration for writing fairytales. In this paper I shall discuss the history of the Grimm Tales, the Danish response to them, the way the German Tales were edited, the story of Andersen’s life and the reasons why he never credited the brothers Grimm for inspiring him to write fairytales. His narratives were not the creations of his fertile ima- gination only. But the story behind this, with the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen as the towering figures, is complex. The brothers Grimm and Napoleonic Europe The brothers Grimm began collecting tales in the kingdom of Westphalia.1 Unlike today’s unified Germany, Napoleonic ‘Germany’ consisted of numerous more or less autonomous fiefs, principalities, and kingdoms. One of these was the landgravedom of Hesse with less than 10,000 square kilometres and half a milli- on inhabitants.

  • Born: April 2, 1805 Odense, Denmark Died: August 4, 1875 Copenhagen
    Born: April 2, 1805 Odense, Denmark Died: August 4, 1875 Copenhagen, Denmark Danish writer, author, and novelist Hans Christian Andersen was the first Danish author to emerge from the lowest class. He enjoyed fame as a novelist, dramatist, and poet, but his fairy tales are his greatest contribution to world literature. Early life Hans Christian Andersen was born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother earned money washing other people's clothes. His parents spoiled him and encouraged him to develop his imagination. At the age of fourteen, Andersen convinced his mother to let him try his luck in Copenhagen, Denmark, rather than studying to become a tailor. When she asked what he planned to do in Copenhagen, he replied, "I'll become famous! First you suffer cruelly, and then you become famous." For three years Andersen lived in one of Copenhagen's most run-down areas. He tried to become a singer, a dancer, and an actor, but he failed. When he was seventeen, a government official arranged a scholarship for him in order to give him a second chance to receive an education. But he was a poor student and was never able to study successfully. He never learned how to spell or how to write in Danish. As a result his writing style remained close to the spoken language and still sounds fresh today, unlike the work of other writers from the same era. After spending seven years at school, mostly under the supervision of a principal who seems to have hated him, Andersen celebrated the passing of his university exams in 1828 by writing his first narrative.

  • The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 1 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D
    The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 1 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D. The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen (Originally presented at IASD, June 21, 2004, Copenhagen, Denmark) Introduction Tak for sidst, which is to say, “thanks for last time.” Copenhagen has been the site of many happy visits with my late husband and some Danes have become dear friends. In particular, I want to give very special thanks to my Danish friend and translator, Bente Licht Mirow. She not only found Andersen’s journals on the Internet but translated his dreams recorded in them from old Danish into English. She even located an additional dream that hadn’t been included in the official list of his dreams. Beyond that generosity, our discussions about Andersen over the last months added immeasurably to my understanding of him. Tak, Bente. Olaf Hansen, too, kindly shared his knowledge of Danish culture and sent me a compact disc with the haunting tune from Viking times called “I Dreamt Me A Dream Last Night” (of silk and precious cloth…) Tak, Olaf. Brief Biography of Andersen Hans Christian Andersen, or H. C. Andersen (as he’s called in Denmark), described his life as a fairy tale. It’s easy to see why. A barely educated boy from a poor family, only son of a cobbler and an illiterate washerwoman, Andersen became the friend of royal and aristocratic families. A shy adult with fears and faults, he found his voice in tales that spellbound generations of people for almost two centuries. The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 2 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D.

The little bird leaves home, embarking on a journey through hecklers, hunters and hilarious hi-jinks only to discover that the beauty he was seeking was inside him all along. For over two centuries, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite all over the world. Now Stages Productions revives the classic tale in a brand new musical which is sure to please the entire family. STAGES PRODUCTIONS .

THE THEATRE IS A SPECIAL TREAT Let us concentrate for a moment on a vital part of youth theatre: the young people. Millions of youngsters attend plays every season, and for some the experience is not particularly memorable or entertaining. The fault may lie with the production - but often the fault lies in the fact that these youngsters have not been properly briefed on appropriate theatre manners. Going to the theatre is not a casual event such as flipping on the TV set, attending a movie or a sports event.

The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be. A heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Honk is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling.” Play write Anthony Drewe was attracted to the message of acceptance and understanding from the story of The Ugly Duckling. He contacted Stiles, with whom he had previously collaborated on two projects, to write a musical based around the story. They expanded on the original story, adding many more characters (including a love interest for the main character.) Hans Christian Andersen’s animal tales are radically different from traditional fables.
