Ausilioteca del Comune di Firenze - Piattaforma didattica "Facilefacile" - www.ausiliotecafirenze.org/facilefacile La Storia di Tarzan 1. La storia di Tarzan Alla fine del 1800 una coppia di lord inglesi , i Greystoke, con il figlio neonato, sopravvive al naufragio della loro nave nell'Oceano Atlantico. Su una scialuppa, la famiglia sbarca su una spiaggia dell'Angola (Africa). 2. La casa sull'albero Per difendersi dagli animali della giungla, i Greystoke costruiscono una casa in cima ad un albero. 3. Kala Una coppia di gorilla, di nome KERCHAK e KALA, perde il loro cucciolo a causa del feroce leopardo SABOR. Mentre si aggira nella foresta, Kala sente il pianto di un cucciolo. Ne segue il suono fino a giungere alla casa sull'albero. 4. Sabor Kala scopre sul pavimento delle impronte di zampe di leopardo fatte col sangue dei Greystoke, che Sabor ha sbranato. Improvvisamente sente il pianto di un neonato che giace a terra avvolto da un lenzuolo. Lei decide di prenderlo con sè. Ma riappare il leopardo Sabor, che vuole uccidere anche il piccolo. Con una fortunata fuga, Kala salva il neonato e i due riescono a raggiungere il gruppo dei gorilla. 5. Terk Il neonato viene accolto dal gruppo dei gorilla che decidono di chiamarlo "Tarzan", che significa pelle bianca nella lingua dei gorilla. Tarzan cresce e la sua migliore amica è TERK, una scimmia dispettosa ed arrogante, che però è sempre pronta ad aiutare Tarzan. 6. Il Elefante Tantor Tantor è l'elefante amico di Tarzan. E' buon, generoso ma molto pauroso e vede il pericolo in ogni cosa. Grazie all'amicizia con Tarzan diventerà coraggioso. 7. Jane Un giorno arriva nella giungla un gruppo di esporatori guidati dal Prof. Potter che ha portato con sè la figlia Jane. Jane si caccia spesso nei guai, dai quali viene salvata da Tarzan di cui si innamora. 8. IL cacciatore Clayton Della spedizione scientifica fa parte il cacciatore Clayton, che è un uomo coraggioso ma cattivo. Il suo scopo è quello di imprigionare i gorilla per rivenderli a caro prezzo. 9. Come finisce la storia Tarzan fa amicizia con gli uomini della spedizione e, fidandosi di loro, conduce Clayton nel luogo dove vivono i gorilla. Clayton, con l'inganno, cerca di catturare i gorilla che invece vengono salvati da Tarzan. Nello scontro con Tarzan, Clayton rimane impigliato ad una liana e muore. Tarzan decide di rimanere nella giungla con i gorilla, che per lui sono la sua vera famiglia, e di non seguire i suoi simili. Jane rimane con lui perchè si amano. 10. Perchè mi piace tanto Mi piace perchè Kala trova il bambino e perchè tra Tarzan, Terk e Tantor nasce una grande amicizia. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Author-As-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan As Historical Branded Entertainment
53 Chapter 3 Author-as-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan as Historical Branded Entertainment Matthew Freeman University of Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT This chapter explores the historical relationship between the branded media entertainment of Tarzan and the rise of consumer culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It argues that the transmedia licensing of this property across pulp magazines, comics, and radio reflected the growing embrace of brand-franchise logics throughout the business landscape of America at that time. I offer the metaphor of ‘stepping stones’ to understand the brand linkages between these different media products in which consumption of one product led to the consumption of another. More importantly, I analyse the function of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his company, suggesting that his visibility as franchise-author played a crucial role in constructing these brand linkages between media products. Contextualised as part of the very different cultural landscape of 1920s and 1930s consumer culture, I demonstrate how an autho- rial name operated commercially as much as a corporatised component of the branded entertainment products of Tarzan as the Tarzan character himself. INTRODUCTION By 1975, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., a family-owned corporation founded in March 1923, was reported to be earning in the region of $1 million annually from the sales of texts and products based on the fic- tional character Tarzan. ‘The world-wide gross of Tarzan products sold under license to us is at least $50 million a year,’ asserted Robert M. Hodes, the man in charge of the Tarzan empire at that time (The New York Times, 1975, p.

Or at least so thought Tarzan of the Apes, who squatted upon a low-swinging branch in a near-by tree and looked down upon her. Just to have seen him there, lolling upon the swaying bough of the jungle-forest giant, his brown skin mottled by the brilliant equatorial sunlight which percolated through the leafy canopy of green above him, his clean-limbed body relaxed in graceful ease, his shapely head partly turned in contemplative absorption and his intelligent, gray eyes dreamily devouring the object of their devotion, you would have thought him the reincarnation of some demigod of old. You would not have guessed that in infancy he had suckled at the breast of a hideous, hairy she-ape, nor that in all his conscious past since his parents had passed away in the little cabin by the landlocked harbor at the jungle's verge, he had known no other associates than the sullen bulls and the snarling cows of the tribe of Kerchak, the great ape.

The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

Once Upon an Ecological Dream
Once Upon an Ecological Dream Anthropomorphism and the Phenomenon of ‘human interference’ with Nature/nature in the Disney films Bambi (1942), The Jungle Book (1967), The Fox and the Hound (1981), Tarzan (1999), Finding Nemo (2003) and Brother Bear (2003) Reena Leek Supervisor: Dr. C. Lord 10195904 Second reader: Dr. F.A.M. Laeven [email protected] Media Studies: Film Studies Word Count: 23549 University of Amsterdam Date: 24 June 2016 ABSTRACT The Walt Disney Company has a substantial influence on multiple generations, which could be utilized for a good cause. Therefore I will discover that animated Disney features that portray slightly anthropomorphic animals in their natural habitat can be read as ecological films. Most Disney films carry environmental messages as anti- hunting or anti-domestication when the films are analysed through ecological theories combined with a new media theory and concepts considering spectator engagement. Bambi and Finding Nemo are films that contain a sense of immediacy and therefore their respectively anti-hunting and anti-domestication messages are apparent. This immediacy misses in The Jungle Book, however through a sense of place this can still be seen as an ecological film, with a minor message of preservation. Tarzan bears an anti-hunting message through the anthropological machine and the immediacy of the film. This same anti-hunting message is perceived in The Fox and the Hound, although less apparent due to the lack of immediacy. The last film is Brother Bear although there is a self-reflexive element in this film, the anti-hunting message is not perceived due to the lack of Nature as an ideal.

Tarzán, Y El Imperio Perdido
Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzán, y el imperio perdido I Nkima danzaba excitadamente sobre el hombro moreno y desnudo de su amo. Parloteaba y chillaba mirando alternativamente a Tarzán a la cara, como interrogándole, y después hacia la jungla. -Algo se acerca, bwana -dijo Muviro, subjefe de los waziri-. Nkima lo ha oído. -Y Tarzán -declaró el hombre mono. -El oído del gran bwana es tan fino como el de Bara, el antílope prosiguió Muviro. -Si no lo hubiera sido, Tarzán hoy no estaría aquí dijo el hombre mono con una sonrisa-. No habría llegado a la edad adulta si Kala, su madre, no le hubiera enseñado a emplear todos los sentidos que Mulungu le dio. -¿Qué es lo que se acerca? -preguntó Muviro. -Un grupo de hombres -respondió Tarzán. -Tal vez no son amistosos -sugirió el africano-. ¿Aviso a los guerreros? Tarzán miró alrededor del pequeño campamento donde una veintena de hombres luchadores estaban preparando su colación nocturna y vio que, como era costumbre entre los waziri, tenían sus armas preparadas y a mano. -No -dijo-. Creo que será innecesario, ya que esta gente que se acerca no viene con sigilo como lo haría un enemigo, ni su número es tan grande como para que les temamos. Pero Nkima, pesimista nato, esperaba lo peor, y a medida que el grupo se acercaba su nerviosismo iba en aumento. Bajó de un salto del hombro de Tarzán al suelo y dio varios brincos; luego, volvió junto a Tarzán, le cogió el brazo y trató de hacerle poner en pie. -¡Corre, corre! -gritó en el lenguaje de los monos-.

G. 2 Librodot Tarzán en el centro de la tierra Edgar Rice Burroughs PRÓLOGO Desde la más remota antigüedad, las profundidades de la Tierra han ejercido una rara fasci- nación sobre quienes pueblan su superficie. En un principio tal sensación estuvo claramente teñida de aversión y terror. El hombre pri- mitivo vivía sobre un plano divisor entre dos universos distintos, el del aire que se extendía hacia arriba, hasta el infinito, y el de la tierra sólida, igualmente hasta el infinito, pero en la otra dirección. El primero claramente visible, el segundo ignoto, protegido de las intrusiones humanas por su misma esencia. En el universo aéreo estaba el sol, fuente de luz y calor, y también, durante la noche, la luna y las estrellas, enigmáticas pero indudablemente atractivas. En el universo aéreo se movían pájaros de vistoso plumaje o vuelo majestuoso, bajo la tierra sólo existían seres repugnantes, lombrices y gusanos. Una intrusión en el universo inferior, penetrando en alguna caverna, tan sólo llevaba a la oscuridad, al frío y al miedo. La llegada de las primeras religiones reflejó claramente la dicotomía. Había dioses y espíri- tus del cielo, de las aguas, de los árboles... pero siempre los más temibles eran los subterrá- neos. Los seres del mundo inferior lanzaban su fuego por las bocas de los volcanes y provo- caban los terremotos que podían exterminar comunidades enteras.
