Fabletown Crisis Committee Background Guide QMUN 2020 Fabletown Crisis Committee Background Guide QMUN 2020 1 Letters from Committee Directors Dear Delegates, Welcome to QMUN 2020! My name is Margaux Gauthier and I am one of the Crisis Directors of the Fabletown crisis. I am in my third year at Queen’s University and am majoring in Political Studies with a minor in World Languages studies. I was born and raised in the Paris region of France and moved to Canada for my undergraduate degree. I have been a part of the Queen’s International Affairs Association (QIAA) since my first year at Queen’s, being involved in the Model UN team and other QIAA initiatives. I’ve always wanted to run a crisis committee and I am happy that QMUN will be my opportunity to do so. I hope the committee will be a respectful and educational space where all delegates can engage in civil conversation and learn from one another. I look forward to hearing all of your ideas and suggestions and more particularly how you approach the different crisis at hand. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about the topics or the committee and I would be more than happy to help you, Margaux Gauthier One of the Crisis Directors of Fabletown 2 Hello Delegates of QMUN! I am thrilled to welcome you to the Fabletown Crisis. My name is James Condon and I am one of your Crisis Directors. I’m in my third year at Queens and am studying History with aspirations to be a medievalist. I hail from Oakville Ontario (Yeah I know, not as cool as Paris). I've been participating in MUN for 7 years now, (help me I’m old) and have been a part of the Queen’s International Affairs Association for 3 years. I've taken part in the MUN team, QMUNi and QNMUN during that time and am ecstatic to be able to add QMUN to my list of experiences. I am so excited to see how you all handle the crisis we have planned for you. I hope that it can be a fun experience as well as a way for you all to debate and exchange ideas with fellow delegates. I am looking forward to see if you can fix the problems of Fabletown, or at least give yourself the Happily Ever After that you deserve. If you have any comments or questions regarding the crisis please contact Margaux or myself and we will be glad to assist however we can. James Condon Also one of the crisis directors of Fabletown 3 Fabletown Introduction Fabletown is an area of New York where the Fables live in secret from human eyes. They have their own government and use magic to remain hidden. The crisis begins with the residents of Fabletown meeting to discuss what to do in response to two crises in the community. Glamour, the magic that hides Fables from everyday people is becoming harder to get and Fables are using poor quality illegal glamour. Also, the community is under threat from the powerful crime ring led by the secretive mob boss The Crooked Man who’s black market glamours, racketeering and prostitution rings are all issues to be dealt with. The Fabletown meeting has been given the powers of the local government temporarily in order to deal with these issues, and any others that may arise over the course of the meeting. The committee may pass laws and set policies for Fabletown to follow, as well as use any resources that the community possesses as a whole. As this committee is a crisis, time will pass and the effects of any directives passed both privately and publicly will have a tangible effect on the committee. History Fables once all lived in a land called the Homelands. However, an unknown enemy referred to as the Adversary managed to conquer the Fable homelands. Fables therefore had to flee to the mundane world. Mundy, or the Mundane, is the 4 Fables' slang term for normal humans’ citizens, their technology, or the world itself. This event is known as the Exodus. Fables arrived in the 17th century in New Amsterdam, later known as New York City. They established what is now known as Fabletown in a small area of Upper West Side New York. As the city spread, the fables had to establish The Farm for fables that can't pass as human and who refused to get Glamours. Glamours are magical items in the Fables comics. They allow Fables to change their appearance and are primarily used by non-human Fables to appear human in Fabletown, so as to not be sent to the Farm. They are expensive but can be purchased by non-human Fables in order to pass for humans among the mundies. Cheap glamours can be found in the seedier parts of Fabletown, but they are often unreliable and prone to sudden failure. The Farm is a location featured in the Fables comics. This is where the Fables who cannot afford to glamour themselves to appear human are sent to live, so as to keep their true selves a secret from the mundies. The Farm is home to Fables who cannot pass as human. It is located in upstate New York, far enough away from the mundies to avoid detection. Some of its residents resent their confinement to The Farm, despite its size and comforts. To them, The Farm is a prison. They would be allowed to leave The Farm if they could purchase a glamour, but many don't have the money for something so expensive. Though some, like Colin, sneak out into the city anyway. Originally, Fabletown was far enough from Mundy civilizations that all fables could live together. As New York City grew, it became clear that the more noticeable Fables would have to leave. A piece of land was bought in upstate New 5 York to become The Farm. Powerful spells were put into place to prevent Mundys from ever finding the Farm's location. Currently, Rose Red, fraternal twin-sister of Snow White, is responsible for leading the Farm. Fabletown Layout Fabletown is located in Upper Manhattan, centred around Bullfinch Street. Some important locations include: 1. Grand Green Florist: a flower shop, unfortunately not owned by Grant Green the Jazz Icon. 2. Edward Bear’s Candies: a candy store owned by Edward the Bear aka “Winnie”. 6 3. Ford Laundry : A laundromat owned by The Washing Woman of the Ford from Bean-nighe. 4. Nod’s Books : a bookshop where Beauty works. Home to countless old and rare books, who knows what one could find in there… 5. Lewis’s Antiques: a completely normal and inconspicuous antique store. 6. I am the Eggman Diner : The local diner owned by one Vulco Crow. Crow is one of the Crow Brothers. The three brothers have the ability to turn into crows. 7. Yellowbrick Roadhouse : a two story roadhouse owned by Dorothy. Dogs are allowed. 8. Webb n’ Muffet Market : a grocery store owned by Miss Muffet, has amazing curds and whey. 9. Woodlands Courtyard: The front entrance to the Woodlands. 10.Woodlands Garden: The gardens of the Woodlands have seen better days... 11.The Woodlands: An apartment complex that serves as both a residence and government building for Fabletown. The woodlands houses fables that can both afford the cost and pass as human. The Building houses the Business Office, where Fabletown is governed from and the 13th floor, where legal witches operate. Despite its status as the leading residence for Fables in the Mundane World, the Woodlands also serves as a symbol to some fables of the inequality in Fabletown and seeming lack of care from the government. 12.Glass Slipper Shoe Store : A shoe store owned and operated by Cinderella and her assistant Crispin Cordwainer. 13.Branstock Tavern: Tavern owned by twins Sigmund and Signy. Grendel is banned. 7 14. O pen Arms Hotel : a somewhat seedy, but liveable hotel. B. To the Trip Trap and Lucky Pawn. The Trip Trap is a bar frequented by certain members of Fabletown. Owned By Holly the Troll. Next door to it is the Lucky Pawn, a pawn shop C. To Aunty Greenwood’s Apartment and the Pudding N’Pie strip club, owned by Vivian and Georgie Porgie. Issues to be Addressed The Question of Glamour Some fables want to stop taking glamour and exist in their natural state/question why they are bowing to the rules. For those that want to obey the glamour rules there is the problem of glamour being expensive and unavailable to the Fables who are not doing well economically. In light of this there is a growing market for illegal glamour that is cheaper but can fail and does not do as good a job of protecting the identity of Fables. The Crooked Man and Organized Crime The Crooked Man is a secretive crime boss who controls a ring of extortion rackets/illegal trading/loan sharks. Most fables will want to find out the identity of him and his associates and bring him to justice. However, there will be some fables in the room that are working for the Crooked Man, and there are rumors that one of the fables in the committee may even be the Crooked Man themselves. Still others see the crooked man as a symptom of ineffective governance of Fabletown that has failed the poor of the community. 8 The Farm A town in upstate New York for fables that cannot or will not use glamour to be contained to.

NIXON-ROULET PREFACE It requires much study of the Oriental mind to catch even brief glimpses of the secret of its mysterious charm. An open mind and the wisdom of great sympathy are conditions essential to making it at all possible. Contemplative, gentle, and metaphysical in their habit of thought, the Chinese have reflected profoundly and worked out many riddles of the universe in ways peculiarly their own. Realization of the value and need to us of a more definite knowledge of the mental processes of our Oriental brothers, increases wonder- fully as one begins to comprehend the richness, depth, and beauty of their thought, ripened as it is by the hidden processes of evolution throughout the ages. To obtain literal translations from the mental store- house of the Chinese has not been found easy of accom- plishment; but it is a more difficult, and a most elusive task to attempt to translate their fancies, to see life itself as it appears from the Chinese point of view, and to retell these impressions without losing quite all of their color and charm.

Article History: Submitted-15/04/2018, Revised-15/07/2018, Accepted-19/07/2018, Published-25/07/2018. Abstract: This paper attempts a study on the recreation, and to an extent, the subversion of Fairy tale tradition in Bill Willingham’s graphic narrative Fables, which grant space and time for detailing the epic adventures of fairy tale characters in the contemporary world. Fables, one of the most popular DC Vertigo publications, provide eye -feasting cinematic and sequential continuity, so that the readers are more or less drawn towards the conceptions of its creators. The paper, therefore, aims to view how the visual and the virtual gain more prominence over the symbolic and the metaphoric in such Graphic representations. Keywords: Folklore, Fairy Tale, Postmodernism, Representation, Cultural memory, Comics/ Graphic Narratives. Introduction The status quotient of Fairy tales were always determined by its popularity among the younger generations since middle ages, and hence are often referred to as “children's literature” or even as “Literature of the childhood”.

  • Bill Willingham's Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic
    humanities Article We All Live in Fabletown: Bill Willingham’s Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic for the 21st Century Jason Marc Harris Department of English, Texas A&M University, MS 4227 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-979-845-8358 Academic Editor: Claudia Schwabe Received: 1 March 2016; Accepted: 9 May 2016; Published: 19 May 2016 Abstract: Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series and its spin-offs have spanned fourteen years and reinforce that fairy-tale characters are culturally meaningful, adaptable, subversive, and pervasive. Willingham uses fairy-tale pastiche and syncreticism based on the ethos of comic book crossovers in his redeployment of previous approaches to fairy-tale characters. Fables characters are richer for every perspective that Willingham deploys, from the Brothers Grimm to Disneyesque aesthetics and more erotic, violent, and horrific incarnations. Willingham’s approach to these fairy-tale narratives is synthetic, idiosyncratic, and libertarian. This tension between Willingham’s subordination of fairy-tale characters to his overarching libertarian ideological narrative and the traditional folkloric identities drives the storytelling momentum of the Fables universe. Willingham’s portrayal of Bigby (the Big Bad Wolf turned private eye), Snow White (“Fairest of Them All”, Director of Operations of Fabletown, and avenger against pedophilic dwarves), Rose Red (Snow’s divergent, wild, and jealous sister), and Jack (narcissistic trickster) challenges contemporary assumptions about gender, heroism, narrative genres, and the very conception of a fairy tale. Emerging from negotiations with tradition and innovation are fairy-tale characters who defy constraints of folk and storybook narrative, mythology, and metafiction.

  • On Jack's Revisions and Transfictional Crossing from Fables To
    Second-degree Rewriting Strategies: On Jack’s Revisions and Transfictional Crossing from Fables to Jack of Fables Christophe Dony Introduction Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, et al.’s Vertigo series Fables (2002-2015), as its name suggests, revolves around the present-day lives of known fables, legends, and folk- and fairytale characters such as Snow White, Mowgli, Cinderella, and the Big Bad Wolf (Bigby) after they have been forced to leave their magical “native” fairytale homelands. As a result of their forced migration, these folk- and fairytale characters—who are referred to as Fables in the series—have found refuge in “our reality,” in which they have established a New York stronghold. This refugee facility of sorts for fictional characters is known as Fabletown; it is magically protected and concealed from humans who are, consequently, unable to detect the presence of Fables in the “real world.” This process of re-narrativization1 governing Fables, i.e. how known characters and their attendant storyworlds are re-configured in a new narrative, goes hand in hand with genre- meshing practices. Fables’ characters are articulated in other “pulpy” genres and settings than those they are generally associated with, i.e. the fairytale and the marvelous. As comics critic and narratologist Karin Kukkonen explains at length in her examination of comics storytelling strategies (see Kukkonen, Contemporary Comics Storytelling 74-86), Fables meshes fairytale traditions and narratives with, for example, noir/detective fiction in the first story arc “Legends in Exile” (Fables #1-5), and with the political fable/thriller canvas of George Orwell’s Animal Farm in the series’ eponymous story arc (Fables # 6-10).

  • Fables, Part One of Three
    Fables, Part One of Three In the time before the Empire rose, there were many unconnected worlds; each one unique in its own way, and each one with its own stories to tell. Stories that you are doubtlessly familiar with. Stories of clever rogues, brave knights, wise sorcerers, and benevolent kings. Stories of girls wearing red cloaks or glass slippers, and living in tall towers. Stories of men who have been transformed into frogs, or woke their true love with a kiss, or who rode flying carpets. These stories also may have featured terrible monsters, craven villains, strange gods and worse still. Stories of a wolf with breath like the wind, dragons that would burn down entire kingdoms, and shadows that danced in the darkness of night. The stories of myth and legend. The stories of the Fables. You will take your place in the storybooks. Will your tale have a happy end? Will it end in calamity and death? Will you tell your own story, or find yourself in a tale you might have heard as a child? Such things are not always within one’s control, it’s true. But you have a little more control over your destiny than most. Here- take these +1000 CP to help you on your quest, whatever it may be.

Fuà”, 13 December 2008 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/21309/ MPRA Paper No. 21309, posted 18 Mar 2010 18:39 UTC Italy – Albania The Migrant as a Bridge Between Two Homelands: The Role of Remittances Eralba Çela1*§, Eros Moretti*§, Eniel Ninka§ * CIRAB - Università Politecnica delle Marche § Dipartimento di Economia - Università Politecnica delle Marche Abstract After eighteen years of mass migration of the Albanian population, primarily to Greece and Italy, a question arises. May migrants become potential agents of socio-economic development in their country of origin? This paper focuses on the role and the importance of remittances and their use in Albania through a survey of 400 Albanian immigrants, legally residing in the Marche and Apulia regions in Italy, conducted in the period May - September 2007. Simultaneously, we carried out family surveys of 200 households that had at least one member working abroad. This survey was conducted in rural and urban areas of the Vlorë region in Albania. We build on the theory of “New Economics of Labour Migration” which considers remittances as the core of migrants’ strategy and a link between the socio-economic context in the country of origin and that in the host country. Our findings show that remittances are related, on the one hand, to the family links in the country of origin (but for relatively small amounts, usually decreasing in time).

    Lucifer (DC Comics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing Lucifer primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989.
