[Module 1 begins here]

1 W Jan 20 Introduction FOLK TALES are not just for children. 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). Oxford Zipes pp xv-xxxii (Introduction)

Another Ash Lad tale: Askeladden og de gode hjelpere (Ash Lad and the Good Helpers). Nunnally doesn’t have this one. PDF Shaw p 170-177, Ev v2 p 98. The story has a ton of repetition, which is maybe why Nunnally doesn’t like it??
