  • WRITING THROUGH MEDIA the Intertextual Fairy Tale
    ENG 1131: WRITING THROUGH MEDIA The Intertextual Fairy Tale Jaquelin Elliott Spring 2019, Sec. 2463 / Class #13891 [email protected] ARCH 0116 Office: TUR 4367 MWF 7 (1:55– 2:45pm) Office Hours: W 5 & 6 Screenings: R E1 – E3 (7:20 – 10:10pm) COURSE DESCRIPTION Fairy tales are a foundational element of nearly every culture, their universal themes and stock characters granting them a malleability that has allowed creators the world over to craft countless retellings, reinterpretations, and even rowdy parodies. While fairy tales are often dismissed as “kid’s stuff,” our present culture has demonstrated a marked interest in the more mature aspects of fairy tales, reshaping these stories into films, TV shows, novels, musicals, short stories, comics, fan fiction, and much more enjoyed by children, teens, and adults. Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water winning last year’s Academy Award for Best Picture demonstrates that our hunger for “dark” adaptations of fairy tales, myths, and monster stories is as alive as ever – and if those stories can interrogate both our contemporary values and what elements of these centuries- old stories remain relatable to us, then so much the better. In this course, students will engage with cultural studies, media studies, fandom studies, and adaptation/remix theory through close readings of a select group of fairy tales and their adaptations from a number of different genres, mediums, and historical periods. For consistency, our class will look to “animal husband” tales and other folklore focusing on romances as strange, fantastical, and transformative as the radical retellings they have inspired.

Minnesota reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states thirteen times during the month, the highest frequency among all 48 states. Many northern observers saw overnight temperatures drop below -30 degrees F on several occasions. The mean monthly temperature for December from several communities ranked among the coldest Decembers ever. A sample listing includes: -4.1 F at International Falls, 2nd coldest all-time 4.6 F at Duluth, 8th coldest all-time 0.1 F at Crookston, 3rd coldest all-time -3.1 F at Roseau, 3rd coldest all-time 0.3 F at Park Rapids, 3rd coldest all-time -4.4 F at Embarrass, 2nd coldest all-time -4.1 F at Baudette, coldest all-time -3.7 F at Warroad, coldest all-time -2.9 F at Babbitt, coldest all-time -2.8 F at Gunflint Lake, coldest all-time In addition, some communities reported an exceptionally snowy month of December.

  • Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and Mndot Class 1 Safety Rest Area
    Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and MnDOT Class 1 Safety Rest Area Highlights The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are pleased to present the new Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center and Class 1 Safety Rest Area. The shared facility includes a new building, parking facilities and site amenities to complement the natural setting of the landscape. The new site design improves pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular circulation. Building and Grounds: • 11,000-square-foot, fully accessible space (similar in size to the Interpretive Center at Gooseberry Falls State Park) and meets current safety standards. • Expanded restroom facilities open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • 750-square-foot exhibit space with interpretive panels to help visitors learn about the historical and cultural significance of the area. • Amphitheater. • Gift shop, open area picnic shelter, lakeside patio, and enclosed front porch. • Meeting spaces and multi-purpose room for interpretive programming, as well as community meetings and functions. • Rain garden and storm water management improvements. Energy and Landscape Features: • 24.3 KW photovoltaic array (which is expected to generate 36% of the building’s energy needs). • Energy efficient building design made with sustainable forest products, high efficiency windows, and structural insulated panel (SIP) walls and roof. LED lighting and high-efficiency fixtures are employed throughout the building, parking lots and entrance drive. Safety and Usage: • In 1986, Tettegouche became the first combined state park and safety rest area in the state. It was followed by a partnership at Gooseberry Falls State Park in 1996, and then a similar facility at Grand Portage State Park in 2010.
