These small narrative units are the germ of every story human beings tell – from early epic poems to verse romances, novels, ballads, TV series, video games. .and any other narrative unit humans have made, through time. Stories can be ancient. This may be the oldest one we know about. https://theconversation.com/the-worlds-oldest-story-astronomers-say-global- myths-about-seven-sisters-stars-may-reach-back-100-000-years-151568 Excerpt: Mary Poppins, P. L. Travers, 1934. Where does the Subaru logo come from? 2 Fri Jan 22 We can call them folk tales or fairy tales (contes des fees). But this (latter) French term for them makes us expect fairies in the tales, and there are no fairies to speak of in Nordic tales. There are more trolls than elsewhere though. (What’s a troll? What does the word mean? Who uses the word? Who might a troll meet at their family reunion?) Story Time: Reading Flumbra (Guðrún Helgadóttir / Brian Pilkington) out loud in class. Introduction to AT/ATU motifs and tale types. TV Tropes™ is their descendant. PDF Aarne-Thompson Index / Oxford Zipes p 1 Let’s look at what Wikipedia does with individual tales, e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_of_the_Sun_and_West_of_the_Moon (Lots of the tales we’ll be looking at have individual entries in Wikipedia) Let’s look at Project Runeberg – the Nordic version of Project Gutenberg. (What’s Project Gutenberg?) What do we find, in the way of folk tales, at Project Runeberg? Here are some examples. http://runeberg.org/folkeven/ http://runeberg.org/svfsagor/0011.html http://runeberg.org/eventyrny/ Andersen 3 Mon Jan 25 Formulae, for example: Snipp snapp snute, så er eventyret ute. (Snip snap snout, this tale’s told out.) Why does repetition occur in so many tales? Examples: Horace was my pet lion; Chicken Little. These stories NEED repetition. Why? (several reasons) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henny_Penny “I saw it with my eyes and I heard it with my ears and a piece of it fell on my tail.” BUT Tiina Nunnally cuts a lot of repetition out in her translations of Asbjørnsen & Moe’s Norwegian tales, e.g.,The Quandary, Nunnally pp 17- 18 (Prinsessen som ingen kunne målbinde, Ev 1 pp 335-338) PDF Shaw has the full text: The Princess Who Always Had to Have the Last Word pp 77-80 We might listen to the Wenche Foss audio version, in Straubhaar’s iTunes. Grimms Märchen (1812+, last edition 1858) set off a trend for European tale-collecting and tale-production (in the style of traditional tales). Sweden caught the mania last, as we’ll see. What are the terms used in various countries for these tales? Folk Tale / Fairy Tale (English), Märchen (= little bit of news, German) Eventyr (= adventure, borrowed from French into Danish and Norwegian), Þjóðsaga (= folk story, Icelandic), Saga (Swedish), Satu (Finnish; this became a popular name for a girl baby in the mid-20th century) 4 Wed Jan 27 Traditional tales vs. Art tales (composed by a known author):Volksmärchen & Kunstmärchen. Big fad in the1840s in Scandinavia: Asbjørnsen & Moe (Norway) and Hans Christian Andersen (H. C. Andersen [≠ José Andersen, haha – even though it sounds like it] to Nordic folks).

On a rainy September evening when she was an exchange student in Oslo, she went to have dinner with some Norwegian friends and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Waiting for the last tram of the night to take her home, she ‘experienced’ (her word) a troll. She was standing on the platform looking down the tracks when the troll appeared above the treetops, a few hundred metres away. He (so she referred to it) stood and bowed his head and waved to her slowly with his left hand.

Rowdy Geirsson rated it really liked it Nov 25, One of the reasons Norse mythology is such an integral part of modern culture in the English-speaking world could be that little was known about it outside the Nordic region until the 19th century. His mission is to enchant and drown people with his outstanding and fascinating fiddle. Skip to main content. That's especially true in Norway, which has a rich Norse mythology along with plenty of folk tales. Josefin L Sara Westman. Details if other :. The race of Scandinavian trolls was described as being stupid and slow, much like a bear in temperament; perhaps this is why trolls were rumored to keep them as pets. The King's stepmother objected and stole their babies, pinning the blame on the girl and eventually persuading the King to kill her. Sort order. Folk Tales. Maybe it would be better to just read the occasional story from this book. Interesting for an overview of folktales and legends for those who do not speak Scandinavian languages.

    Det usannsynlige som virkemiddel En undersøkelse av transtekstualitet og ungdomsaspekter i tre moderne fantasy- trilogier Betine Mjølid Tømran Masteroppgave i nordisk, særlig norsk, litteratur- og språk ved Lektorprogrammet Det Humanistiske Fakultet UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Våren 2014 1 Takk Takk til veileder Sten-Olof Ullström for tålmodighet, gode råd og inspirerende veiledningssamtaler. Takk til positive holdninger fra venner, medstudenter, familie og samboer. Takk for at dere har lyttet og støttet meg, og takk for oppmuntringer og positivitet rundt det faktum at jeg fordyper meg i fantasy for ungdom. 2 © Forfatter: Betine Mjølid Tømran År: 2014 Tittel: Det usannsynlige som virkemiddel. En undersøkelse av transtekstualitet og ungdomsaspekter i tre moderne fantasy- trilogier Forfatter: Betine Mjølid Tømran http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo 3 Sammendrag I oppgaven fokuserer jeg på intertekstualitet og ungdomsaspekter i tre moderne fantasy-trilogier for ungdom. Problemstillingen er: hvilken rolle og betydning har transtekstualitet i Halvgudene-trilogien, Alvetegnet-trilogien og Engelsfors-trilogien? Disse tre seriene kategoriserer jeg som low fantasy, og undersøker også begrepets betydning i forhold til intertekst. I tillegg undersøker jeg ungdomslivet og utfordringene hovedkarakterene møter, samt samfunnsmessige problemer som tas opp. I undersøkelsene tar jeg for meg trilogiene hver for seg, men påpeker likheter eller ulikheter underveis. Jeg forholder meg til Gerard Genettes (1997) begreper om intertekst, og bruker transtekstualitet, hypertekstualitet og paratekstualitet. Først og fremst legger jeg vekt på transtekst, som er den generelle sammenhengen mellom tekster. Deretter analyserer jeg paratekstene, i denne forstand forsidene på bøkene. Jeg legger stor vekt på hypertekst, og ser direkte koblinger mellom trilogiene og andre spesifikke tekster.

  • Ord Fra Presidenten Spesiell Fødselsdager Special
    ****************************************** SPESIELL FØDSELSDAGER ORD FRA PRESIDENTEN SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS Don't we all appreciate the beautiful “Mountain Majesty” HeART sculpture at the entrance to Good Samaritan even more, now that we have seen and heard how Kathy and Ron Browne used their artistic talents to put it all together? It was a very interesting and educational program! At the Leadership Conference on February 6th many ideas were exchanged between the lodges. We thank Diane Molter and Lyle Berge for great direction. We were proud to hear that due to our increase in membership here in Stein Fjell and the installation of Storfjell Lodge, Zone 8 was able to maintain its membership numbers this year. All the lodges lent supportive ideas to one another, to attract new members and retain present ones. Think about what a good experience it would be to represent Stein Fjell as a delegate to the District Six Convention in Modesto, CA June 23-26. Our Lodge is Marian Erdal (L) gir blomster til Tillie Schopbach – allowed five delegates. Finances will be discussed at the som er 101 år gammal og Charter og Golden Medlem March Lodge meeting. If you are interested in representing Stein Fjell at the convention, have someone nominate you from the floor at this meeting. Our recent surveys revealed that the MOST WANTED extra program is a Syttende Mai Celebration. SAVE THE DATE – our Syttende Mai Celebration is set for Sunday, May 16th at the Pavilion at Good Samaritan. We thank Ron Browne for securing this facility. MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Much more information will be in the April and May Postens! As you see, there are many activities coming up! Look for the article on the upcoming dinner and show, and make your reservations with Barbara Nolin.

  • The Illustration of Folktales Creating a Book of Norwegian Folktales for Ukrainian Readers
    Master’s Thesis Nadiia Lolina The illustration of folktales Creating a book of Norwegian folktales for Ukrainian readers Faculty of Art, Folk Culture and Teacher Education Master’s Thesis in Traditional Arts 2013 Nadiia Lolina The illustration of folktales Creating a book of Norwegian folktales for Ukrainian readers Telemark University College Faculty of Arts, Folk Culture and Teacher Education 1 Telemark University College Faculty of Art, Folk Culture and Teacher Education Department of Folk Culture 3864 Rauland http://www.hit.no © 2013 Nadiia Lolina 2 Preface Before I selected the theme for the Master project, I had been thinking of a variety of topics that could give me a possibility to reach the main goal of my study in Norway – showing Norwegian culture, and the traditional arts of Norway, in a way it hasn‘t been done before. I wanted to create an artistic object that is not only theoretical in the concept of tradition, but something with meaning, that is real and has practical use today. I was thinking about survival of the tradition, despite the globalization process, and the blending of different folk cultures and ethnicities. Those thoughts formed the research area of my project around folktales, which connect us to our roots through generations, and link to the future. The theoretical framework of my project is divided in three parts. The first part is dedicated to the analysis of folktales. The second part is the historical and aesthetical excursion into the illustration of Norwegian folktales. This part is mostly based on a comparative analysis of illustrations and book design, created by different artists.
