Translations of Fairy Tales Between National Mobilization and Commodification German Children’S Literature in Nineteenth-Century Croatia
Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 117–132 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.005.0859 MARIJANA HAMeršak TRANSLATIONS OF FAIRY TALES BETWEEN NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AND COMMODIFICATION German Children’s Literature in Nineteenth-century Croatia Abstract: A brief overview of translation within folklore studies and children’s literature studies leads to the focal point of this article: nineteenth-century Croatian versions of German fairy tales. The analysis concentrates on the textual and paratextual features of the Croatian texts, their relationship to the source texts and their involvement in national integration. Moreover, they are examined as part of empirical research in the history of reading: children’s reception of German children’s books in nineteenth- century Croatia. Finally, they are discussed from the book history perspective: adoption of German children’s literature genres and publishing strategies in the field of nineteenth- century Croatian children’s literature. The discussion of these three aspects indicates that the appropriation of German fairy tales in nineteenth-century Croatian society followed various (oral, written, German-language, Croatian-language) routes and had different outcomes. The complexity of these processes reminds us that literature is not only a symbolic (written, textual), but also a material (reading, editing, publishing) enterprise. It also reminds us that children’s literature is entangled not only in concepts of childhood and literature, but also in other cultural concepts such as nation and class. Keywords: fairy tales, Croatian children’s literature, German children’s literature, translation, appropriation, nineteenth century, material book culture, nation, class Fairy tale scholarship has been interested in translations for a long time.

The Brothers Grimm Stories
The Brothers Grimm 항햗햔햙햍햊햗햘 핲햗햎햒햒 1 The Brothers Grimm Letter from the Chair: Dear Delegates, My name is John Ruela and I will be your Chair for the Brothers Grimm Crisis Committee at SHUMUN XXI. I am currently a sophomore majoring in History with minors in Arabic, Middle Eastern Studies and Religious Studies. Although I am personally most interested in the Middle East, I have a love for oral tradition that carried stories to become famous over centuries, and because of this the Brothers Grimm anthology is extremely interesting to me. In my free time, you can find me reading sci-fi, forfeiting sleep to watch bad Netflix shows, and talking too much about world news. Although I had a brief one year experience with Model Congress in high school, I started doing Model UN in my freshman year when I joined Seton Hall’s competitive Model UN team. I co-chaired in SHUMUN XX last year for the Napoleon’s 100 Days Crisis Committee. That was a blast and I cannot wait to experience chairing a fantasy committee this year! With a wide range of local legends and fables, we hope to see the sort of creativity that originally inspired these stories. During the conference I hope to see you excel in your debate and writing skills! I cannot wait to see you all. If you have any questions or concerns about SHUMUN XXI or the Brothers Grimm Crisis Committee, please feel free to email! Best Wishes, John Ruela Brothers Grimm Crisis Committee Chair SHUMUN XXI [email protected] 2 The Brothers Grimm Letter from the Crisis Director: Dear Delegates, Welcome to SHUMUN XXI! My name is Sebastian Kopec, and I have the pleasure of being your Crisis Director for the Brothers Grimm Crisis Committee.

First 100 Stories for Story Listening Stories Beniko Mason First
First 100 Stories for Story Listening stories Beniko Mason first I have been telling fairy tales and folktales from around the world in class as an English lesson since 1990. The combination of listening to stories and reading books has helped my students do well on tests without output or grammar studies. Story- Listening is so powerful that students improve rapidly in listening comprehension and acquire many words. There are countless stories in the world, but I happen to like Grimm Brothers’ house- hold tales. Almost all stories start with, “Once upon a time…” “Once upon a time there was a rich king.” “Once upon a time there were three brothers.” “Once upon a time there was a soldier.” They always start with an introduction of a main character. These stories are very suitable for story-listening lessons in different ways. The stories have interesting content; they are written in rich language; there are many different situations, problems, and characters; and they have stood the test of time. I have gathered here the first 100 easier stories for you to choose from to use for your classes. I will only give you the titles. You can download them from any sites that have the collection of Great Grimm Brothers’ household tales. These stories are not just for children. They deal with many different themes that children may not understand yet, such as deception, loyalty, and true love. Thus, story-listening is not just for children, but for adults also. Story-Listening can be used for any age and also at any levels of proficiency.

The Indecisive Feminist: Study of Anne Sexton's Revisionist Fairy Tales
Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 6 No. 1; February 2015 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia The Indecisive Feminist: Study of Anne Sexton's Revisionist Fairy Tales Nadia Fayidh Mohammed College of Arts, University of Mustanserya Baghdad, Iraq. E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.1p.31 Received: 12/09/2014 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.1p.31 Accepted: 15/11/2014 Abstract Fairy tales to female writers are major resource for their abundant writings, but for the feminist poets since 1960s, they become essential subject matter to often deal with in their literary production. With the motivation to address the conventional tradition of patriarchal society, and re-address the stereotype females inhabiting these tales, feminist writers set upon revealing the underlying sub-context of these tales, presenting them with more adult-suited themes. Anne Sexton's Transformation is a pioneering revision of Grimm's fairy tales in which the poet does not only satirize the patriarchal society she grew up in, but she also rejects the female stereotype that her upbringing intended her to be. In the following paper, the feminist messages which Sexton's fairy tales intended to deliver are examined to reveal the poet's position concerning feminism and her relationship with female role-models and the male figures she presents in her fairy tales. Keywords: Anne Sexton, feminism, fairy tales, revisionism, postmodernist poetry, Transformations 1. Introduction Gina Dalfonzo, in reviewing Disney's new fairytale-based movie "Frozen", reported that having the prince charming turning to villain was the scariest element in the movie [Dalfonzo, 2013: 1+].

Writing 100: Fairy Tales and Feminism Spring
Writing 100: Fairy Tales and Feminism Spring 2011 Professor Lisa Fischler Office: Comenius 104 Email: [email protected] Office Ph.: 610-861-1418 Class: T, Th 3b (10:20-11:30 am) PPHAC 235 Office Hours: Tues. and Thurs. 11:30 am-1 pm and other times by appointment. Course Description Even though they depict a supernatural world of enchantment, fairy tales have functioned for centuries to pass on norms, values, and gender roles. This course will explore elements of the fairy tale genre--such as narrative structure, myths, cultural symbols, gender, sexuality, constructions of class, family, and ethnicity--and uses to which fairy tales have been put. Special attention will be given to the long-lost women narrators of fairy tales who motivated the Brothers Grimm and what these tales reveal about women’s and men’s lives in historical, social, and contemporary context. Goals and Objectives The general goals and objectives for this course are outlined in the Writing 100 Guidelines, but the following are the more particular course objectives for this section of Writing 100. By the end of the semester, you should be able to: A) Understand writing as a way of thinking, as a process that constructs knowledge, and as a form with different styles, formats, and audiences. B) Recognize a variety of writing styles; use interpretative, evaluative, and creative genres well, and coherently employ grammar, language, style, citations, tone, and theme. C) Efficiently use information technology for writing and research, critically evaluate credible sources, analyze the value of diverse resources, and cohesively present research results.
