Sažetak U doktorskom se radu istražuju pripovjedni prostor i prostorno premještanje u bajkama objavljenim u zbirci Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Djetinje i kućne bajke, 1857.) Jacoba i Wilhelma Grimma. Korpus istraživanja, koji obuhvaća 215 žanrovski raznolikih tekstova, podijeljen je na dva djela: primarni korpus, koji obuhvaća bajke, te sekundarni korpus, koji obuhvaća priče o životinjama, poučne priče, etiološke priče, (usmene) pripovijetke, formulne priče, predaje, legende, vjerske priče i šaljive priče. Sekundarni korpus omogućava poredbenu analizu bajke i drugih kratkih proznih žanrova. Tema pripovjednog prostora u bajkama podzastupljena je u znanstvenoj literaturi, gdje se prostor bajke uglavnom tretira kao pasivna pozadina zbivanja koja ni na koji način ne utječe na njihov razvoj, te postoji naprosto jer se radnja mora negdje odvijati. Ovakav stav donekle je razumljiv s obzirom na dugotrajan manjak interesa za prostorne teme u humanističkim i društvenim znanstvenima (prije tzv. prostornog obrata), kao i slabo definirane prostorne parametre koje nudi sama bajke. Naime, u svom tradicionalnom obliku, bajka kao jezično ekonomičan žanr uglavnom izbjegava sve što izravno ne pridonosi razvoju radnje, poput opisa likova ili okoline. Postojeća istraživanja uglavnom naglašavaju apstraktnu, slabo definiranu prirodu prostora bajke ili su usmjerena na njegova simbolička i metaforička značenja. U središtu zanimanja stoga nije prostor kao takav, već kao izvor informacija o značenju priče ili drugim pripovjednim elementima (npr. likovima). Za razliku od dosadašnjih istraživanja, ovaj doktorski rad pripovjedni prostor bajke razumije kao materijalnu, trodimenzionalnu okolinu te autonoman i nužan pripovjedni element koji je značajan sam po sebi. U središtu istraživanja su struktura prostora bajke, njegova prezentacija (tj. pripovjedne i jezične strategije kojima se prenose informacije o prostoru) i opće odlike. Osim pripovjednim prostorom, doktorski se rad bavi i prostornim premještanjem koje je glavni preduvjet za ostvarivanje kontakta između ljudskog protagonista i čarobnog, što se pak smatra ključnom osobinom žanra bajke. Nadalje, premještanje omogućava povezivanje pojedinih lokaliteta u širu prostornu mrežu. Istraživanje je smješteno unutar teorijskog okvira tzv. istraživanja ili studija o bajkama (fairy-tale studies), te metodološko-analitičkog okvira naratologije. Pritom ne slijedi jedinstveni pravac unutar istraživanja bajke, već sistematizira znanje nastalo unutar različitih teorijskih orijentacija. Od osobite važnosti za ovo istraživanje radovi su Maxa Lüthija i Alfreda Messerlija (istraživanja o bajkama), te Marie-Laure Ryan i Katrin Dennerlein (naratologija). Analiza strukture pripovjednog prostora oslanja se na model koji je ponudila Marie-Laure Ryan, sastavljen od pet prostornih jedinica: prostornog okvira, smjestišta (eng. setting), prostora priče, pripovjednog svijeta i pripovjednog svemira. Primjena ovog modela na analizu bajke otkrila je slojevitost njenog pripovjednog prostora i složenost procesa njegove konstrukcije, koji se odvija kroz kontinuirano pregovaranja između čitatelja i teksta. Kako bi ovaj opći model prilagodilo istraživanju bajke, istraživanje ga je dopunilo novom kategorijom domene, koja obuhvaća prostore u kojima je na snazi određeni sustav prirodnih zakona. Bajka se sastoji od dvije domene: ne-čarobne („realistične“) i čarobne. Samo po sebi,

Socialization and Politization through Fairy Tales Jack Zipes Over 170 years ago the Brothers Grimm began collecting original folk tales in Germany and stylized them into potent literary fairy tales. Since then these tales have exercised a pro- found influence on children and adults alike throughout the western world. Indeed, whatever form fairy tales in general have taken since the original publication of the Grimms' nar- ratives in 1812, the Brothers Grimm have been continually looking over our shoulders and making their presence felt. For most people this has not been so disturbing. However, during the last 15 years there has been a growing radical trend to over- throw the Grimms' benevolent rule in fairy-tale land by writers who believe that the Grimms' stories contribute to the creation of a false consciousness and reinforce an authoritarian sociali- zation process. This trend has appropriately been set by writers in the very homeland of the Grimms where literary revolutions have always been more common than real political ones.1 West German writers2 and critics have come to

  • 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.

  • Queering the Grimms. Detroit, MI: Wayne State University Press, 2012
    139 REVIEWS Turner, Kay and Pauline Greenhill, eds. Transgressive Tales: Queering the Grimms. Detroit, MI: Wayne State University Press, 2012. Notes, Bibliography, Index, 358 pp. $29.95 (paper). ISBN 978-0-8143-3481-2. Transgressive Tales collects thirteen diverse studies applying queer theory to the Grimm brothers’ collections and associated topics. Originating in Kay Turner’s 1998 University of Winnipeg course in feminist and queer theory in folklore, this compilation has had a long gestation, as reflected in the formidable review of contemporary scholarship that the contributors present. There is good work throughout, though the breadth of analysis may be disconcerting to readers with tight preconceptions of what queer studies should encompass. Turner and Greenhill’s introduction gives a good accounting of how “queer” is defined for this volume’s purposes. At its broadest, queer theory discusses and problematizes “any non-normative expression of gender, including those connected with straightness” as well as questions about “marginalization, oddity, and not fitting into society generally.”(11) This scope allows for a wide spectrum of perspectives, including analyses that would have been considered feminist in other contexts (all the protagonists here are female except those in the last chapter), as well as creative interpretations of the body and desire in the Grimms’ tales and their successive reinterpretations. Transgressive Tales’ first section, “Faux Femininities,” addresses subversion in heteronormative stories through the expansion and transformation of female-gendered protagonists’ roles, bodies, and relationships. Christina Bacchilega’s chapter contrasts two similarly-titled tales, “Clever Gretel” and “Clever Else,” where the two characters, one conventionally shrewd and the other ironically dense, play trickster in reconstituting the power dynamics of their marriages.

  • The Story of Storytelling
    ESSAY THE STORY OF STORYTELLING What the hidden relationships of ancient folktales reveal about their evolution—and our own By Ferris Jabr T he story begins, as so many do, with a journey. In this case, it’s a seemingly simple one: a young girl, cloaked in red, must carry a basket of food through the woods to her bedridden grandmother. Along the way, she meets a duplicitous wolf who persuades her to dawdle: Notice the robins, he says; Laze in the sun, breathe in the hy- acinth and bluebells; Wouldn’t your grandmother like a fresh bouquet? Meanwhile, he hastens to her grandmother’s cottage, where he swallows the old woman whole, slips into her bed, and waits for his final course. “Little Red Riding Hood”—with its striding plot, its memorable characters, and its rich symbolism—has inspired ceaseless adaptations. Since the seven- teenth century, writers have expanded, revised, and modernized the beloved fairy tale thousands of times. Literary scholars, anthropologists, and folklorists have devoted reams of text to analyzing the long-lived story, interpreting it as an allegory of puberty and sexual awakening, a parable about spiritual rebirth, a metaphor for nature’s cycles (night swallowing day, day bursting forth again), and a cautionary tale about kidnapping, pedophilia, and rape. Artists have retold the story in just about every medium: television, film, theater, pop mu- sic, graphic novels, video games. Anne Sexton wrote a poem about “a shy budkin / in a red red hood” and a huntsman who rescues her with “a kind of caesarian section.” In Roald Dahl’s version, she “whips a pistol from her knick- ers,” shoots the wolf in the head, and wears his fur as a coat.
