Under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Morrison For the Department of German Faculty of Arts October 2004 ABSTRACT In 1697 Charles Perrault’s Contes immortalised ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ (‘Le Petit Chaperon rouge’), a fairy tale which was later recounted by the Grimm Brothers as ‘Rotkäppchen’ in their collection of 1812/1815. Scholarly research has already shown the extent to which Perrault’s earlier collection influenced the Grimms’ Kinder- und Hausmärchen. But how might the French reaction to the Grimm ‘version’ be reflected in subsequent French translations, and especially during periods of Franco-German conflict? This is the pivotal question addressed in the four chapters of this thesis. The first chapter focuses on the theoretical. It situates the Grimm Brothers and their influences within the context of German Romanticism and a complex form of nationalism which lies at the root of this literary movement. The development of the field of folklore studies from the Grimms to the present day is also outlined, with particular emphasis on Jack Zipes’ socio-political reading of the versions and adaptations of this tale from Europe and America; a reading which is adapted and developed for this analysis. The second chapter introduces the textual analysis of the selected adaptations and translations and focuses on the years between 1868 and 1933; when the first Grimm-inspired adaptation and translation were published. The third chapter focuses on the fortunes of ‘Rotkäppchen’ during 1942, the height of the Occupation. The fourth and final chapter concentrates on the years between 1944 and 1948, in an attempt to establish how the French versions of the Grimm tale were affected by liberation from German Nazi oppression and the subsequent ending of the Second World War. Such a detailed comparative study proves revealing not only for the French reception of a fairy tale common to the French and German literary traditions for a given period, but also for Franco-German relations and translation theory in general.

  • Introduction
    Title: Daring Missions of World War II Author: William B. Breuer ISBN: 0-471-40419-5 Introduction World war ii, the mightiest endeavor that history has known, was fought in many arenas other than by direct confrontation between opposing forces. One of the most significant of these extra dimensions was a secret war-within-a-war that raged behind enemy lines, a term that refers to actions taken a short dis- tance to the rear of an adversary’s battlefield positions or as far removed as a foe’s capital or major headquarters. Relentlessly, both sides sought to penetrate each other’s domain to dig out intelligence, plant rumors, gain a tactical advantage, spread propaganda, create confusion, or inflict mayhem. Many ingenious techniques were employed to infiltrate an antagonist’s territory, including a platoon of German troops dressed as women refugees and pushing baby carriages filled with weapons to spearhead the invasion of Belgium. Germans also wore Dutch uniforms to invade Holland. The Nazi attack against Poland was preceded by German soldiers dressed as civilians and by others wearing Polish uniforms. In North Africa, British sol- diers masqueraded as Germans to strike at enemy airfields, and both sides dressed as Arabs on occasion. One British officer in Italy disguised himself as an Italian colonel to get inside a major German headquarters and steal vital information. In the Pacific, an American sergeant of Japanese descent put on a Japan- ese officer’s uniform, sneaked behind opposing lines, and brought back thir- teen enemy soldiers who had obeyed his order to lay down their weapons.

  • Ever Since Humans Gained the Ability of Higher Thought People Have Been Creating and Telling Stories
    English 12 Final Essay Choice 1 Ever since humans gained the ability of higher thought people have been creating and telling stories. These stories are passed on from one generation to the next and at some point become more than stories; they become tradition, culture, and history. Long after the original writers or creators of the stories are dead and all but forgotten, the stories remain and become a legacy. With each year that passes by the stories grow, they are modified or retold a different way, and as they grow those stories become more rooted in the cultures of those who share them. Fairytales are some of the most widespread and evident stories in cultures; they manage to catch the interest of almost all readers, and have grown far more than the average story. One such beloved fairytale is “Little Red Riding Hood,” which has seen many different authors and titles throughout its existence. The story of Little Red Riding Hood began as tales told to children, passed on through word of mouth alone. The first written version, which has come to represent the oldest and original story, was “Little Red Riding Hood” by Charles Perrault. The tale followed the characteristics of all fairytales; a handful of characters, a simple and short storyline, and a lesson to be learned. The characters were: a young and pretty girl known only as Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf that had the ability to speak, and an old and sickly grandmother of Red. The tale mentioned Red’s mother and woodsmen briefly, but their only purpose was to guide the story, they did not significantly interact within the story.

  • Notrump Interference
    NoTrump Interference Don't you just hate it when the bidding goes P – 1N – P – P; P and the opponents end up with a good result? We learned about Balancing as a measure to keep opponents out of cheap contracts. Granted the 1N bid does show a bit stronger hand than a simple 1-of-a-suit Opener; but still the Openers Partner Passed so where are the other 25-33 HCP? Perhaps the majority of them are with your side and you might have a long-suit advantage from the fact that the power hand is balanced in shape. This latter fact forms the basis of Bids designed to keep opponents from playing easy 1N contracts. There have been many Conventions designed to this end but by far the two most popular which we will show here are Cappeletti, named after its proponent Mike C. and D.O.N.T another Marty Bergen invention where the Initials stand for Disturb Opponents No Trump. D.O.N.T Because of the list's length it may seem intimidating at first, but it really is quite simple. The opponent opens 1N and if you have a one or two suited hand you show that information to your partner. The single suited hand contains a 6+ Card suit: you use the ubiquitous X = Double to let partner know you have a long suit. If you have a two suited hand i.e. you have two suits most commonly 5-4 but could be 5-5 or even 6-5, you bid the lower ranking of the two suits, It makes no difference which is the stronger or longer – you bid the lower ranking suit to show the two suited hand.

  • Towards Emancipation? Women in Modern European History
    s University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of History HIST / WMST / EURO 259: TOWARDS EMANCIPATION? WOMEN IN MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY Syllabus – Spring 2018 Instructor: Prof. Karen Hagemann TIME OF THE COURSE: TUESDAY & THURSDAY: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM ROOM: TBA Office Hours: Tuesday: 1:00 - 3:00 PM or by appointment Office: Hamilton Hall 562 Email: hagemann@unc.edu 17 October 2017 HISTORY / WMST 259: Spring 2018 2 AIMS OF THE COURSE In this course we will study women's lives, work and the history of the women’s movement in modern Europe from the era of the late Enlightenment and the French Revolution to the period of the two World Wars, the Holocaust, and the Cold War. We will explore how the major political, economic, social, and cultural changes affected the lives of women from different social backgrounds and how they responded to these changes. The struggle of the women’s movement that emerged everywhere in Europe during the nineteenth century to improve the working and living conditions of women, achieve eQual civil and political rights for women and increase their social, cultural, and political influence, will thus be one central theme. We will ask how the aims and forms of this struggle for female emancipation varied between different groups and countries and changed over time. We also will examine the ways in which women were involved in wars and revolutions and experienced them. The course is organized chronologically, but as we move through time we will concentrate on the following themes: • Gender images and dominant ideas about the gender order and how they affected women’s lives • Women’s role(s) and experiences in the household, the family, and the workforce • Women’s and men’s role(s) in the ‘public spheres’ of nation, state and civil society • Women’s struggle for eQual rights in the family, society, the workforce and politics.
