  • Jataka Tales: Layers of Meaning from the Universal to the Personal
    Jataka Tales: Layers of Meaning from the Universal to the Personal Grade Level or Course Type: English, Social Studies, adaptable for grades 6 through 10 Overview of the Lesson Jataka Tales: Birth Stories of the Buddha are among the world’s oldest collection of stories. Many, about endearing animals who misbehave – and then learn to behave better – are appealing to children throughout the world. In this lesson students compare an Aesop’s fable to a Jataka Tale to see what they share in common. Students then learn about the Buddhist context of the tales, through which they deepen their appreciation of what makes a Jataka Tale unique. Finally, students approach a Jataka Tale through the meaning it held in the life of Noor Inayat Khan (1914-1944), whose classic collection Twenty Jataka Tales is still in print. She was a Muslim who worked as a covert agent for the British in Occupied France. She died at Dachau in 1944. In all three activities, students gain insight into what makes stories important in our lives. Learning Outcomes: • Identify stories by genre as fable, parable, folktale and fairy tale. • Decipher the moral of a story. • Understand Buddhist concepts (Ten Perfections, cycle of death and rebirth) • Learn about the life and appreciate the artistry of Noor Inayat Khan. Materials Needed • This lesson and the handouts included with it. They include: Handout 1. Life of Noor Inayat Khan with photos and scrapbook activity Handout 2.

Downloaded On 2021/09/24 13:02:38 -0400 Chapter 28- 21st Century Anthropology: A Reference Handbook Edited by H. James Birx Storytelling Katie Elson Anderson, Rutgers University. Once upon a time before words were written, before cultures and societies were observed and analyzed there was storytelling. Storytelling has been a part of humanity since people were able to communicate and respond to the basic biological urge to explain, educate and enlighten. Cave drawings, traditional dances, poems, songs, and chants are all examples of early storytelling. Stories pass on historical, cultural, and moral information and provide escape and relief from the everyday struggle to survive. Storytelling takes place in all cultures in a variety of different forms. Studying these forms requires an interdisciplinary approach involving anthropology, psychology, linguistics, history, library science, theater, media studies and other related disciplines. New technologies and new approaches have brought about a renewed interest in the varied aspects and elements of storytelling, broadening our understanding and appreciation of its complexity. What is Storytelling? Defining storytelling is not a simple matter. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, professional and amateur storytellers, and members of the communities where the stories dwell have not come to a consensus on what defines storytelling.

Saraiki civilization has also its both tangible and intangible assets like other oldest rural civilizations of the world. There at international level, a lot of work has been done in the field of folktales so far as their classification according to their types structures and functions. In Pakistan, no significant work has been done. The study is aimed to compare the Saraiki animal tales with the American animal tales through the American model developed by Uther in 2004 popularly known as Aarne-Thompson-Uther model. The current study is the comparative structural analysis of the Saraiki folktales. The Saraiki folktales were collected through participant observation, observation and interviews. The study was conducted in the rural areas of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. The multistage approach was applied to collect the folktales from the research area on the principle of probability sampling through the informants from the study area.

    Man In India, 96 (12) : 5699-5707 © Serials Publications PORTRAYALS OF THE GOOD AND THE EVIL IN THE KAZAKH FAIRY TALES Markhaba Tursunova*, Zhansaya Zharylgapov*, Shara Mazhitayeva*, Akerke Tazhikeyeva* and Zhanar Ramazanova* Abstract: The concepts of the good and the evil are known as key concepts in every culture. The concepts of the good and the evil are brightly depicted in national fairy tales. In general one can hardly imagine certain culture without the most difficult and important concepts. Concepts are limited in number as not all notions are considered to be concept. Only those phenomena which are of great importance for certain culture and can serve as titles for proverbs and sayings, poetic and prose texts can be regarded as concept. In Kazakh culture the complex structure of concepts “the good and the evil” can be seen in materials collected from national fairy tales. Keywords: Concept; Kazakh fairy tales; the good and the evil; Kazakh culture; folklore; images of the good and the evil. INTRODUCTION Folklore is an art created by folk wisdom, and the fairy tale is one of the primary genres in folklore.

The Hebrew Folktale: A Review Essay. Review of Eli Yassif, The Hebrew Folktale: History, Genre, Meaning Abstract The history of oral narratives is in the grip of a paradox. The voice of their past telling is no longer evident, and what is evident is no longer oral. Once committed to writing, oral tales become literature, bearing the consequences of this transformation that occurs under specific social, eligious,r economic, even technical, circumstances.1 The shift from orality to literacy involves thematic, stylistic, and poetic modifications, and although in their new state the tales have a relatively higher degree of stability, they still can offer us glimpses into their performance history.

It is a time of relaxation after the evening meal. Children amuse each other with guessing riddles, gradually the friendly chatter subsides when you hear me say, "A story for you". The Hyena and the Dead Ass The hyena once had the luck to come upon a dead ass. There was enough meat for three whole days. I-Ie fell to with a will and was busy enjoying his meal when suddenly he saw his children coming. lie knew their healthy young teeth and growing appetites, and as he did not want to share the magnificent carcass with them, he said: "You see that village over there?
