Jenny Green Teeth Jenny Green Teeth" Jenny Green Teeth In Lancashire, Cheshire, and Shropshire, from the 19th century to within living memory, children were threatened that if they went near pools the waterspirit Jenny (or Ginny) Greenteeth would catch them; some said she also lurked in the treetops, where she could be heard moaning at night (Wright, 1913: 198-9). According to Charlotte Burne, this bogey was 'an old woman who lurks beneath the green weeds that cover stagnant ponds; Ellesmere children were warned that if they venture too near such places, she will stretch out her long arms and drag them to her' (Burne 1883: 79). A Lancashire contributor to NAQ recalled: 'Further, I have often been told by my mother and nurse that if I did not keep my teeth clean I should some day be dragged into one of these ponds by Jenny Greenteeth, and I have met many elderly people who have had the same threat applied to them' (NAQ 10s:2 (1904), 365). As recently as 1980 a Merseyside woman aged 68 recalled what she had heard about her as a child: 'pale green skin, green teeth, very long green locks of hair, long green fingers with long nails, and she was very thin with a pointed chin and very big eyes.' Another informant, however, said Ginny 'had no known form, due to the fact that she never appeared above the surface of the pond.' She was especially associated with stagnant water deceptively covered with thick algae or duckweed; in fact, to some, 'Jenny Greenteeth' was simply a name for duckweed itself, and the horror consisted in the way this weed would close over anything that fell in. Jenny Greenteeth is a figure in English folklore . A river hag , similar to Peg Powler or a grindylow , she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. She was often described as green-skinned, with long hair, and sharp teeth. She is called Jinny Greenteeth in Lancashire , but in Cheshire and Shropshire she is called Ginny Greenteeth, Jeannie Greenteeth, Wicked Jenny, or Peg o' Nell. She is likely to have been an invention to frighten children from dangerous waters similar to the Slavic Rusalka , the Kappa in Japanese mythology, or Australia's Bunyip , but other folklorists have seen her as a memory of sacrificial practices. A similar figure in Jamaican folklore is called the River Mumma (River Mother). She is said to live at the fountainhead of large rivers in Jamaica sitting on top of a rock, combing her long black hair with a gold comb. She usually appears at midday and she disappears if she observes anyone approaching. However, if an intruder sees her first and their eyes meet, terrible things will happen to the intruder. The name is also used to describe pondweed or duckweed , which can form a continuous mat over the surface of a small body of water, making it misleading and potentially treacherous, especially to unwary children. With this meaning the name is common around Liverpool and south west Lancashire. In popular culture Jenny Greenteeth inspired the lake monster (Meg Mucklebones) in the 1985 Ridley Scott fantasy film Legend .^ Jenny Green Teeth (note the words are separated) is the title character in a book of short stories, Jenny Green Teeth and Other Short Stories (Palmerston North: Totem Press, 2003. ISBN 0-9582446-3-4 ). by New Zealand-born English writer and Scholar Joel Havward . 141 Jenny Green Teeth is also the main subject of a poem , "Welsh Maiden," by Joel Hayward in his collection, Lifeblood: A Book of Poems (Palmerston North: Totem Press, 2003. ISBN 0- 9582446-1-8 ).^ Jenny Greenteeth was mentioned in the book The Land of the Silver Apples , by Nancy Farmer. Jenny Greenteeth made an appearance in the Hellboy short story Hellboy: The Corpse . She also made an appearance in English novelist Terry Pratchett 's 2003 The Wee Free Men as well as Christopher Golden 's 2006 The Myth Hunters . Jenny Greenteeth is one of the leading characters in London Falling , a short story in 2000 AD . The English comedian Dave Spikey mentions Jenny Greenteeth in his stand up act though he was told she would come up through the cracks in the pavement and suck out their bone marrow if you stayed out after dark. Jenny Greenteeth makes an appearance in the fictional children's story "Nellie Longarms will get you if you don't watch out". M Jenny Greenteeth features as one of the mythical animated creatures in 'Rumpus Mansion', a haunted house attraction at the Isle of Wight theme park, Blackgang Chine. In Jim Butcher's Dresden Files , Jenny Greenteeth appears in the form of a beautiful young woman, the handmaiden of Maeve , Winter Lady and youngest of the Unseelie Queens of Faerie. The first issue of the comic book anthology PopGun contains a story called "Jenny Greenteeth" by Derek McCulloch and Shepherd Hendrix . m Jenny Greenteeth is Monster in My Pocket #108. Jenny Greenteeth is referred to in the Torchwood novel "Something In The Water" by Trevor Baxendale (BBC Books / Ebury Press) along with other ideas about the Water Hags. Jenny Greenteeth appears as a character in Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr. She is part of the Dark Faery Court. Ginny Greenteeth and Jenny Greenteeth are words for persons in Scribblenauts one can spawn. Ginny Greenteeth, also known as 'The Witch', is a character in Gerald Brom 's The Child Thief Ginny Greenteeth is also the dark ambient cassette collage recording project of New Jersey musician Mike Bruno, known for his acoustic folk ventures.^ Greenteeth is a basis for the song by Noel Street. Jenny Green Teeth is also a song by a band named The Mustard Men. In the novelette "Water Babies" by Simon Brown , Jenny Greenteeth is mentioned as being one of many names for a child-snatching water-demon. In the novella, an Australian police officer investigates a series of drownings that turn out to be predatory attacks by a seal-like creature. 'Jenny Greenteeth' was the name of a band in the early 1990s featuring legends of the Vancouver music scene: Ivan Drury (vocals), Happy Kreter (guitars, bass, vocals - formerly of Gob) and 'Space Jeff Johnston (drums - formerly of the Super Chevy Novas) Jinny Greenteeth was the name of a fictional character in DC comics 201 1 crossover title Flashpoint , working alongside characters such as Godiva and Etrigan the Demon to free the British Isles from Amazonian occupation. Rona Greenteeth, from the MMO World of Warcraft , has a camp in the forest of Darkmoon Island and sells food made from humans as well as other playable races. Jenny Greenteeth is a whimsical once-upon-a-time story about a lonely old water witch who lives down by Lake Ontario in the Beaches area of Toronto. Regretting her lost youth when she used to braid flowers into her hair and teach the local children to swim, she has turned into a hideous hag with green slimy teeth and mean ways. The tricks she plays on the children have made her the terror of the neighbourhood, and the mayor has ordered her capture. But the policeman and the cadets are too scared, and the fire dog succumbs to a juicy bone tossed out by the wily Jenny. Then along comes young David Smith, the new kid in town, with a secret weapon guaranteed to rid the Beaches of Jenny forever. And just what is this miracle? Well, would you believe toothpaste? Yes indeedy, once poor old Jenny takes a squint in her cracked looking-glass and sees that her pearly whites are no longer covered in green slime, she turns over a new leaf, braids her scraggly tresses, smiles broadly at everyone and becomes coach of the Beaches Water Witches swim team. Children in grades 2 and 3 will likely enjoy this easy-to-read farce so full of local colour, but the toothpaste device seems oddly out of place. It is not easy to introduce contemporary realism into a traditional storyline bearing elements of fantasy, and Downie, who is better known for her work in poetry and history, just does not seem to have mastered the knack. Barbara Reid's black-and-white drawings are attractive and plentiful. In fact, they almost tell the whole story alone. Jenny Greenteeth is a well known figure that is part of the English folklore. The tradition says it lived in a river in Yorkshire, and that it was a very bad spirit of rivers. The story tells that some time ago there was a family with a mother, a father, a son, a daughter and a grandmother who was crazy. The mother and children were engaged to collect the vegetables from the fields, the father took care of the wood, to check the traps and collecting any prey to take water from the well, and the grandmother had the task of tidying up the house and cook. During summer the family could get along without much trouble, but in winter the food was scarce and all went hungry. One day the son asked why it was not possible to fish from the river to have more food and grandmother slapped him and replied that he was crazy and that nobody went into the river because here there was Jenny Greenteeth. The boy asked who this Jenny Greenteeth was and grandmother laughed at the ignorance of the young man and told him it was a creature that seized and drown anyone looking into the river. Once caught the evil creature killed the poor unfortunates and ate all their meat to the bone.

Aun así, infinitas gracias a él por ser el artífice de este estupendo fanfiction, una fiel continuación de la serie Harry Potter de J.K. Rowling. La idea de traducir esta historia a partir del tercer libro y sin ánimo de lucro, solo pasó porque estábamos ansiosos y tal vez un “poco locos” por hacerlo, pero no nos pueden culpar por ser fanáticos de esta serie desde la original. Como ya saben, esta versión traducida no es perfecta, pero tratamos de hacerla lo más comprensible posible, manteniendo las coherencias desde los dos primeros libros traducidos por el Equipo LLL, que gracias a su trabajo, a Ronald Bautista y a Xènia Senserrich, pudimos continuar y culminar la traducción. Así mismo, un enorme agradecimiento a los compañeros que se unieron después al grupo Latin Gremlins: -Augusto Hernández, quien nos ayudó desde “La Red Morrigan”. -Federico Pérez De Berti, quien se hizo a cargo de una gran cuota de capítulos en este quinto libro y quien demostró gran conocimiento del inglés.

    HARRY POTTER IN TURKEY THE SOCIOCULTURAL FRAMEWORK OF TRANSLATION IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation by Merlin Özkan Boğaziçi University 2009 Thesis Abstract Merlin Özkan, “Harry Potter in Turkey: The Sociocultural Framework of Translation in a Global Context” This study focuses on the sociocultural framework of translational phenomena which governs the selection, production and reception processes. In this light, the external forces effective in the creation of a translated text, how these forces influence the adoption of translation strategies and the impact of translation as a cultural product are analyzed. The implications of cultural exchange through translation in a globalized background are studied in line with the analysis of the interactional character between broader social structures with all its agencies and their effect on the functional mechanisms of translation markets, the publishing industry and the procedural stages of translation. Itamar Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory, Pierre Bourdieu’s relevant concepts of cultural production and circulation model, Gideon Toury’s concept of norms and Lawrence Venuti’s discourse on a cultural and political agenda are explored and questioned in terms of their sociological implications. The applicable aspects of these theoretical approaches are put into test to analyze the implications of the Harry Potter translations in the Turkish target culture and the intercultural relations of translations across various cultural settings. The analysis of the case study has shown that the translations are initially conditioned by the macro clusters of social structures, such as the workings of the publishing industry, the politics of media concerns and specific social, cultural and economic concerns of the decision- makers particular to the target culture.

  • A Study of the Tales As Printed in Folk-Lore in 1891
    2060302 INVESTIGATING THE LEGENDS OF THE CARRS: A STUDY OF THE TALES AS PRINTED IN FOLK-LORE IN 1891 Maureen James A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg For the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume 1 April 2013 Abstract This study investigates the content, collection and dissemination of the Legends of the Cars, a group of tales published in Folk-Lore in 1891, as having been collected in North Lincolnshire from local people. The stories, have been criticised for their relatively unique content and the collector, Marie Clothilde Balfour has been accused of creating the tales. The stories are today used by artists, writers and storytellers, wishing to evoke the flatland and beliefs of the past, yet despite the questions raised regarding authenticity, neither the collector, the context or the contents have been thoroughly investigated. The tales have also, due to their inclusion in diverse collections, moved geographically south in the popular perception. This thesis documents the research into the historical, geographical and social context of the Legends of the Cars, and also validates the folkloric content and the dialect as being from North Lincolnshire. The situation within the early Folklore Society prior to, and after the publication of the stories, has also been investigated, to reveal a widespread desire to collect stories from the rural populations, particularly if they demonstrated a latent survival of paganism. Balfour followed the advice of the folklorists and, as well as submitting the tales in dialect, also acknowledged their pagan content within her introductions.

  • Aspects of Supernatural Belie?, Memorate and Lend
    ASPECTS OF SUPERNATURAL BELIE?, MEMORATE AND LEND IN A CONTEMPORARY UBBAN ENVIRONMENT by GILLIAN BENNETT Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of English Language University of Sheffield April 1985 ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to move away from the antiquarian bias of previous work on the folklore of the supernatural in order to shed light on present day attitudes and concepts. In the past, folkiorists have done very little to collect their own culture, or even to recognise its forms. This has been particularly true of British work on ghost tracii- tions - the tendency of all but a very few scholars has 'been to retire to the library and compile collections of legends. The present study eschews this approach in favour of fieldwork. There are three main aspects of the work. The early chapters provide a resume of texts on the supernatural, from 1572 to the present day, seeking (i) to construct a cultural history of the concept of the ghost, and (ii) to evaluate the usefulness of these texts to the folklorist or historian of ideas. The central part of the thesis concentrates on presenting a picture of contemporary supernatural beliefs, drawing on data collected in informal interviews with 120 mainly elderly people resident in Gatley, a suburb of Manchester. Two central concepts are analysed - that is, ideas about ghosts, and about knowledge of the future. A third chapter describes miscellaneous beliefs (telepathy, UFOs, 'Luck', and mediumistic powers). In the later chapters attention is drawn to the manner of the storytelling through which these beliefs are expressed.
