Research which has considered this topic typically views it in terms of its symbolic potential, studying space in order to learn about other narrative elements (e.g. characters) or the implied meanings of the texts. This dissertation views narrative space as a concrete, material aspect of the narrative which is significant in itself. The main research question posed in the dissertation is: what do fairy tales tell us about narrative space and what does narrative space tell us about fairy tales? The main aim of the dissertation is therefore twofold: first, it examines how narrative space is structured in fairy tales and how the fairy tale conveys space-related information; second, it asks whether there is anything about the traits and structure of fairy-tale space that can be seen as genre-specific, i.e. that sets the fairy tale apart from other short prose narrative genres. The research is based on a textual analysis of the English translation of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimmʼs collection Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Childrenʼs and Household Tales, 1857). While its primary focus is on fairy tales, the dissertation also considers other genres included in the collection (animal tales, legends, religious tales, etc.). The research combines the knowledge produced within fairy-tale scholarship (folklore and literature studies) with the methodological tools of narratology. By considering narrative space and spatial transference, the dissertation aims to prompt a reconsideration of the fairy-tale genre and its definitions. One of its key findings is therefore a revised definition of the fairy tale as a genre which encompasses two domains – the magical and the non-magical – separated by a firm boundary, which must be crossed in the course of the story. What sets this interdomain boundary apart is the fact that it can be crossed from both sides, but only temporarily and only if certain conditions are met. The examination of genres through the prism of the domain has led to a reconsideration of our initial genre classification and prompted the conclusion that aetiological tales, Schwank tales, and didactic tales, which were initially listed as independent genres, are modes (subgenres) rather than genres. The thesis also shows that fairy-tale space is dynamic and relational, and that the lack of explicit spatial information should not be seen as an indication of the insignificance of space, but rather an expression of the genreʼs stylistic parsimony. Although the findings are based on the study of the Grimmsʼ fairy tales, the dissertation aims to provide an analytical framework that is applicable to other fairy-tale corpora. KEYWORDS: fairy tale, narrative space, spatial transference, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, narratology, genre 4 Acknowledgements Like the fairy-tale protagonist whose success relies on the aid of various magical helpers and donors, I too owe the completion of the long and arduous journey from initial idea to finished dissertation to a number of patient and wonderfully supportive travel companions. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge their contribution to this thesis. First and foremost, my sincerest gratitude goes to my excellent supervisors: Marijana Hameršak (Institute for Ethnology and Folklore Research in Zagreb), Pekka Hakamies (University of Turku), Liisa Steinby (University of Turku), and Karin Kukkonen (University of Oslo). They have been very patient, encouraging and understanding, and most generous with their time and expertise. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am without them. Marijana convinced me that this was an interesting and fruitful research topic, and, with her personal integrity and professionalism, has served as an inspirational role model. I am especially grateful for all the pep talks and her boundless, infectious enthusiasm. Pekka took an interest in my work when I first came to Turku as an exchange student, inspiring me to broaden my research horizons. He has always been an encouraging and stimulating interlocutor, as well as a calming presence. Liisaʼs high professional standards and insistence on excellence continue to be a source of inspiration, as well as a reminder that one can (and should) always do better. Karin gave me a much-needed boost at a time when I was running out of steam and generously shared her extensive knowledge of all things fairy tale. She helped me tune my time management skills and, through her insightful comments, brought out the best in my texts. All of them read more versions of this manuscript than I would care to admit, offering expert advice and helping me make sense of all the ideas brewing in my head. Their support extend beyond the professional as they also provided much guidance and encouragement when I was having doubts about my project. I am grateful and honoured to have had my manuscript pre-examined by three prominent experts in their respective fields: Professor Emeritus Ulf Palmenfelt, Professor Daniel Sävborg, and Professor Lana Molvarec. Their incisive and detailed feedback was essential for the finalisation of the manuscript. I would also like to thank Professor Sävborg for agreeing to serve as my esteemed opponent. 5 For the financial support which enabled me to travel in order to conduct research and write my thesis at the University of Turku and the University of Alberta, I am indebted to the Erasmus Foundation (the Join-EU SEE Program) and the Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies. In the course of my doctoral studies, I have benefited from the advice and professional support from a number of experts. I am especially indebted to Sapu Ato, who showed enthusiasm for this project when it was little more than a bunch of ideas, Andreas Stuhlmann, Elena Pnevmonidou, and Jack Zipes. Dean Duda and Stipe Grgas, who acted as pre-examiners at the defence of my thesis topic, deserve special mention for their kind guidance and insightful questions which helped me develop my initial ideas in new directions. My sincere gratitude goes to Anne Heimo, whose friendship, understanding, and practical assistance were integral for finalising the manuscript and preparing for the defence. I would also like to thank Clive Tolley and Osmo Pekonen, who provided invaluable assistance with the linguistic aspects of the thesis (proofreading and translating, respectively). Over the years, participation in numerous conferences, workshops, and seminars enabled me to engage in enlightening discussions with fellow researchers. I am indebted to all the organisers and participants in these events who provided insightful feedback on my work. The research seminars at the University of Turkuʼs Department of Folkloristics and the Department of Comparative Literature were especially vital platforms for exchanging ideas and learning from my colleagues. For their support and friendship, I thank Arbnora Dushi, Pasi Enges, Nikica Gilić, Jelena Gligorijević, Kirsi Hänninen, Tuomas Hovi, Kaarina Koski, Jaana Kouri, Merja Leppälahti, Suzana Marjanić, Smiljana Narančić Kovač, Sirpa Ollila, and the lively team from SIEFʼs Young Scholars Working Group (especially

  • Iron Hans Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
    Page 1 of 7 136 Iron Hans Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Once upon a time there was a king who had a great forest near his castle, full of all kinds of wild animals. One day he sent out a huntsman to shoot a deer, but the huntsman did not come back again. "Perhaps he has had an accident," said the king, and the following day he sent out two other huntsmen who were to search for him, but they did not return either. Then on the third day, he summoned all his huntsmen, and said, "Search through the whole forest, and do not give up until you have found all three." But none of these came home again either, nor were any of the hounds from the pack that they had taken with them ever seen again. From that time on, no one dared to go into these woods, and they lay there in deep quiet and solitude, and all that one saw from there was an occasional eagle or hawk flying overhead. This lasted for many years, when an unknown huntsman presented himself to the king seeking a position, and he volunteered to go into the dangerous woods. The king, however, did not want to give his permission, and said, "It is haunted in there. I am afraid that you will do no better than did the others, and that you will never come out again." The huntsman answered, "Sir, I will proceed at my own risk. I know nothing of fear." The huntsman therefore set forth with his dog into the woods.

  • Hansel and Gretel” to America: a Study and Translation of a Puppet Show
    BRINGING POCCI'S “HANSEL AND GRETEL” TO AMERICA: A STUDY AND TRANSLATION OF A PUPPET SHOW Daniel Kline A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2008 Committee: Dr. Christina Guenther, Advisor Bradford Clark, Advisor Dr. Kristie Foell Margaret McCubbin ii ABSTRACT Dr. Christina Guenther, Co-Advisor; Bradford Clark, Co-Advisor My thesis introduces the German-puppet character Kasperl to English-language scholars. I provide historical background on the evolution of the Kasperl figure and explore its political uses, its role in children’s theatre, and the use of puppet theatre as an alternative means of performance. The section on the political uses of the figure focuses mainly on propaganda during the First and Second World Wars, but also touches on other developments during the Weimar Republic and in the post-war era. The television program Kasperl and the use of Kasperl for education and indoctrination are two major features in the section concerning children’s theatre. In the second section of the thesis, my study focuses on the German puppet theatre dramatist Franz von Pocci (1807-1876) and his works. I examine Pocci’s theatrical texts, positing him as an author who wrote not only for children’s theatre. Within this section, I interpret several of his texts and highlight the way in which he challenges the artistic and scientific communities of his time. Finally, I analyze and translate his puppet play Hänsel und Gretel: Oder der Menschenfresser. In the analysis I explore issues concerning science, family, government agencies, and morality.

  • Introduction: Fairy Tale Films, Old Tales with a New Spin
    Notes Introduction: Fairy Tale Films, Old Tales with a New Spin 1. In terms of terminology, ‘folk tales’ are the orally distributed narratives disseminated in ‘premodern’ times, and ‘fairy tales’ their literary equiva- lent, which often utilise related themes, albeit frequently altered. The term ‘ wonder tale’ was favoured by Vladimir Propp and used to encompass both forms. The general absence of any fairies has created something of a mis- nomer yet ‘fairy tale’ is so commonly used it is unlikely to be replaced. An element of magic is often involved, although not guaranteed, particularly in many cinematic treatments, as we shall see. 2. Each show explores fairy tale features from a contemporary perspective. In Grimm a modern-day detective attempts to solve crimes based on tales from the brothers Grimm (initially) while additionally exploring his mythical ancestry. Once Upon a Time follows another detective (a female bounty hunter in this case) who takes up residence in Storybrooke, a town populated with fairy tale characters and ruled by an evil Queen called Regina. The heroine seeks to reclaim her son from Regina and break the curse that prevents resi- dents realising who they truly are. Sleepy Hollow pushes the detective prem- ise to an absurd limit in resurrecting Ichabod Crane and having him work alongside a modern-day detective investigating cult activity in the area. (Its creators, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, made a name for themselves with Hercules – which treats mythical figures with similar irreverence – and also worked on Lost, which the series references). Beauty and the Beast is based on another cult series (Ron Koslow’s 1980s CBS series of the same name) in which a male/female duo work together to solve crimes, combining procedural fea- tures with mythical elements.

    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!
