  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "Fathers and Daughters"
    "Fathers and Daughters" Critic: James M. McGlathery Source: Fairy Tale Romance: The Grimms, Basile, and Perrault, pp. 87-112. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1991. [(essay date 1991) In the following essay, McGlathery explores the erotic implications of the father-daughter relationship in the romantic folktales of the Brothers Grimm, Giambattista Basile, and Charles Perrault, highlighting common plot scenarios.] As the stories discussed thus far show, emotional involvement between parents and children is a frequent object of portrayal in folktales. That this is especially true of the romantic tale should come as no surprise, for in love plots generally the requisite hindrance to the fulfillment of young desire often takes the form of parental objection or intervention. There are surprises to be found here, however. In particular, the romantic folktale offers the possibility of hinting, with seeming innocence, at erotically tinged undercurrents in the relationship between parent and child that do not lend themselves to tasteful direct portrayal. Fairy tale romance often depicts the child's first experience of leaving home and venturing out on its own, usually in connection with choosing a mate. In the stories of the brother and sister type, resistance to the taking of this step is reflected in a desire to return to the bosom of the family or, failing that, to retain the devoted company of one's siblings. Thus, we have seen how Hansel and Gretel, while prepared to survive together in the forest if need be are overjoyed at being able to live with their father, and how the sister in "The Seven Ravens" succeeds in restoring her brothers to human form and bringing them home with her.

  • How the Three Little Pigs Came to Star in Independence Day
    HOW THE THREE LITTLE PIGS CAME TO STAR IN INDEPENDENCE DAY The Relationship Between the European Fairy Tale and the American Disaster Movie by Roz Williams Ph.D. Thesis December 2015 How The Three Little Pigs Came to Star in Independence Day/Ph.D.Thesis !"#$%!&$! HOW THE THREE LITTLE PIGS CAME TO STAR IN INDEPENDENCE DAY by Roz Williams This thesis sets out to determine the relationship between European fairy tales and the American disaster movie genre. It examines how these fairy tales may have impacted on a fledgling film industry through its European creators. It does this by drawing on examples of mythology, folklore and fairy tale, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, political and social history, geopolitics and sociology. It also investigates film genre, story structure and the history of Hollywood and its creators; and is told in a personal narrative style with supporting anecdotal contributions to illustrate the effect of the disaster movie on the individual. The thesis exposes how the motifs of myth and fairy tale are prevalent in this genre of film, using case studies and analysing them against social anthropological paradigms to argue that European fairy tales have influenced American disaster movies. It demonstrates how geopolitical and sociological events have shaped the stories told in these films throughout the decades since the genre's inception at the birth of film, and the author posits that disaster movies will continue to be relevant not only to audiences and storytellers, but also to disaster relief agencies. In conclusion, the thesis argues that disaster movies are the fairy tales of our modern times and that they serve a purpose in telling the stories that explore our concerns and allay our fears.

Zurich: Spring Publications, 1973, 155 pp. THE USES OF ENCHANTMENT: THE MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF FAIRY TALES. By Bruno Bettelheim. New York: Knopf, 1976, 327 pp. DOI: 10.1177/0003065117728074 Fairy tales have a raw power to transport the hero or heroine out of every- day life into an enchanted space of transformation. Such crossing is fre- quently prompted by a problem—what to do with an unwanted child; how to find a wife; who will succeed to the throne—but it may also be an adventure of a more transgressive fear or seeking of forbidden knowl- edge: incest, abandonment, or murder. The magical space may be located in the outer world or in secret interior places: the woods, the depths of the earth, etc. Within this quest, however, primitive and raw emotions are encountered and mastered, and the hero or heroine emerges having grown psychically and socially. Forbidden and repressed conflicts (involving, e.g., incest, cannibalism, envy, sibling rivalry, sexuality) are taken up and worked through for resolution and psychic growth. Oral folk tales are found in every human culture, and they go back a very long time—probably almost as long as language has existed.
