Os contos de fada de George MacDonald são obras de grande influência no âmbito da literatura infantil, particularmente no caso de autores como Lewis Carroll e C. S. Lewis. De fato, muitos apreciaram suas histórias enigmáticas, que misturam humor e reverência, nonsense e sentido, luz e escuridão. Apesar disso, no contexto do português brasileiro, poucos dos seus contos de fada estão traduzidos e há ainda menos crítica literária disponível. Aqui procuro ajudar a preencher ambas essas lacunas ao produzir uma tradução comentada de três de seus contos de fada. O objetivo é realizar um estudo que encontre algumas das características literárias mais importantes nesses contos e, então, produzir uma tradução que leve em conta as percepções proporcionadas por esse estudo. Este trabalho contém, então, um exame crítico dos contos de fada de MacDonald, uma consideração sobre como traduzi-los, os três contos de fada em formato bilíngue (incluindo a fonte em inglês e a tradução para o português) e, também, uma seção comentando minhas escolhas de tradução e como elas se relacionam com as análises feitas. / George MacDonald\'s fairy tales are works of great influence in the realm of children\'s literature, particularly so for authors such as Lewis Carroll and C. S. Lewis. Indeed, many have enjoyed his enigmatic stories, which blend humor and reverence, nonsense and meaning, light and darkness. In spite of that, in the context of Brazilian Portuguese, few of his fairy tales are translated, and there is even less literary criticism available. Here, I aim to help fill both of those gaps by producing a commented translation of three of his fairy tales. The goal is to carry out a study which finds out some of the most important literary characteristics in these tales, and then produce a translation that is mindful of the insights provided by that study. This work contains, then, a critical appraisal of MacDonald\'s fairy stories, some consideration on how to translate them, the three fairy tales presented as bilingual texts (including the English source and the translation to Portuguese), and also a section commenting on my translation choices and how they relate to the analyses made.

The diploma thesis "Development of the methodology of correct posture and its verification in drama lessons within the school educational program" connects the correct posture with the teaching of dramatic education. In the area of posture, however, it is not as a theoretical discourse of what is known to every teacher, as is proved by this quote dating back over four decades: "The positive influence of proper body posture on healthy growth and development of all organs and the development of their functions is stated by medical literature and confirmed by everyday experience." The aim of the thesis is to examine the problems through practice, in particular by connecting with the already established subject and also the way of teaching in other subjects - dramatic education. The theoretical part is divided into two areas: correct posture and dramatic education. Both of them are first defined and put into context, then I deal with selected aspects that are relevant to this work. In the practical part I define the circumstances and conditions of creation and verification of the methodology of correct posture verified in drama lessons. The ensemble then combines methodological validation and rehearsing the fairytale The Princess and the Pea and the poems A Short Fairytale on Beet and Gingerbread...

Understanding transmedial storytelling is particularly important to fairy-tale studies. Monomedial views have long been unable to account for all of fairy tale tradition. Although the form originated in oral culture, it has long been a liminal, hybrid form that retains aspects of orality even while its principal mode of transference for some time has been something other than face-to-face communication. Transformations and adaptations across different media and contexts has resulted in a system of fairy-tale tradition that is massively intertextual and transmedial. No one medium can claim primary control over the fairy-tale tradition. Throughout time, oral tellings have inspired literary adaptations; literary renditions have influenced oral and theater performances; oral, print, and theater performances have spawned any number of retellings and adaptations within audiovisual media. This case study, investigates one example of adaptation to social media and integration across media: Tim Manley's satirical blog Fairy Tales for Twenty-somethings and his book Alice in Tumblr-land. In Manley's fairy tale creations, we see an instance of what Henry Jenkins calls convergence culture. This convergence should be of particular interest to folklorists because corporate and mass-media systems continue to influence and integrate with existing forms of interaction. Manley's overall narrative approach integrates two media, which permits him to use fairy tales to express a broader range of narrative impulses than would a project tied to only one medium. Media integration is an important concept to recognize and investigate because so many individuals see different media as inherently combative rather than mutually beneficial systems. Just as intertextuality has become a foundational concept in many humanistic studies, intermediality needs to enter the folklorist's discussions as well. With only some media under consideration, we only get some of the message.

The way Gail Carson Levine’s Ella Enchanted simultaneously conforms to its late-20th-century American standards and rebels against its Cinderella origins is analyzed in this thesis. As an analysis of a piece of literature written for children, the thesis works to defend the notion that playful literature produces a serious dialogue with its readers, and that young female readers are a particularly apropos group for the dialogue about hegemony that Ella Enchanted allows.

Orientador: Álvaro Luiz Hattnher / Banca: Karin Volobuef / Banca: Orlando Nunes de Amorim / Resumo: Este trabalho propõe-se a rediscutir o conceito corrente de conto de fadas, tal como proposto por autores como Jolles (1976) e Propp (1983), a partir de um contraponto dessas teorias com as formulações de J. R. R. Tolkien em seu ensaio "Sobre histórias de fadas" (2006). Partindo dessa revisão, pretende-se demonstrar como As crônicas de Nárnia, de C. S. Lewis, pode ser lida como o que Tolkien denomina "história de fadas", pois a presença da oposição entre o "mundo real", com tempo e espaço histórico bem definidos, e o mundo maravilhoso ou "outro mundo" parece ser um fator decisivo para diferenciar um conto de fadas de uma história de fadas / Abstract: This research proposes to revisit the current concept of fairy tale as proposed by authors such as Jolles (1976) and Propp (1983), counterpointing those theories with the formulations of J.R.R. Tolkien in his essay "On Fairy-Stories" (2006). The aim is to demonstrate how The Chronicles of Narnia, by C. S. Lewis, can be read as a "fairy story" according to Tolkien, since the presence of an opposition between the "real world", with well defined time and historical space, and the wonderful world or "other world" seems to be a decisive factor to differentiate a fairy tale from a fairy story / Mestre

Cette recherche participative vise à élaborer et à tester un dispositif d’enseignement-apprentissage expérientiel de la langue anglaise, basé sur le principe de narration gestuée, destiné à des élèves débutants à l’école primaire. L’élément central de cette étude ancrée dans l’épistémologie de la reliance est la conception du geste, issue de l’anthropologie linguistique de Jousse, mise en pratique par Lecoq dans le domaine de la pédagogie théâtrale, concrétisée par la théorie des schémas-images de Johnson en linguistique cognitive, et confirmée expérimentalement par les récentes découvertes en neurosciences. Si le geste constitue la facette instrumentale du dispositif, le conte traditionnel en est l’appui thématique. Ce choix a été inspiré par la communauté des caractéristiques propres à la structure narrative du conte et à la motricité humaine (bilatéralisme joussien), au conte et à la conscience mythologique des enfants âgés de 6-8 ans (Egan, psychologie du développement).Le dispositif a été testé dans une classe de CE1 durant une année scolaire. L’analyse des productions d’élèves et des entretiens permet d’évaluer l’impact de la pédagogie expérimentée sur la qualité phonologique et lexicale de la langue, les stratégies de mémorisation ainsi que les stratégies de créativité/initiative linguistique et gestuelle mise en œuvre par les élèves. L’analyse met en lumière également le rôle de l’émotion et de l’interaction dans les apprentissages. / This participatory study on teaching languages in primary school aims to develop and test an experiential approach to English teaching and learning for beginners, based on the principle of gestural narration.This interdisciplinary research focuses on the concept of gesture as described by the linguistic anthropologist Marcel Jousse, put into practice by the theatre instructor Jacques Lecoq, embodied by Mark Johnson’s theory of image schemata in cognitive linguistics and confirmed by recent discoveries in neuroscience.In this teaching approach, gesture is the instrument, while traditional fairy tales provide the subject matter. Fairy tales were chosen because their narrative structure shares some of the characteristics of human motor behaviour (Jousse’s bilateralism) and because they are adapted to the mythic understanding of the world by children aged 6-8 (Egan, educational psychology).This approach was tested in a CE1 class (second year of primary school) during an entire school year. An analysis of student work and interviews assesses the impact of this experimental teaching approach on phonological and lexical language quality, on memorizing strategies, on pupils’ linguistic and gestural creativity/initiative, and evaluates the role of emotion and interaction in their learning.

Les nombreux contes de fées qui paraissent à la fin du XVIIe siècle sont modélisés par un système hyperbolique omniprésent. Du niveau le plus micro-structural jusqu'aux macrostructures poétiques, l'hyperbole définit, justifie et confirme le genre merveilleux. Profusion, foisonnement, démultiplications, redoublements, dérivations ou créations débridées sont ainsi les déclinaisons prolifiques de l'hyperbole. Saturant les récits par des procédés récurrents, la distribution lexicale déborde des cadres alors insuffisants pour exposer des inventions originales et fantaisistes, et s'amplifie jusqu'à submerger les contes de néologismes, de listes ou de syntagmes figés dans une expansion logorrhéique. A un niveau supérieur, le discours du narrateur, comme celui des personnages, s'énonce et s'affiche ostensiblement dans une mise en scène générique exponentielle qui (se) joue de multiples formes pour divertir et se développer. Entre ingérence auctoriale fréquente et discordances démonstratives, le conte révèle une énonciation scalaire complexe et inédite dans un genre hérité d'une tradition orale univoque. Redoublant une elocutio composite et enchevêtrée, la dispositio supplétive des contes additionne, intercale et annexe les épisodes diégétiques dans une surcharge narrative qui prolonge les limites d'un genre paradoxalement bref. Les nombreux personnages qui dé/re/doublent le protagoniste participent à la mise en œuvre d'intrigues plurielles qui trouvent leur cohérence dans la figure centrale du conte. Marqué par une emphase systématisée qui se propage autour de lui, le héros rassemble et dirige tous les motifs diégétiques. Inscrit dans un environnement à sa mesure, distingué par des attributs outranciers, entouré de spectateurs enthousiastes, le héros domine le récit par la théâtralisation de son statut hors du commun. Genre hybride, kaléidoscopique et protéiforme, le conte propose une politique paradoxale de la surenchère permanente, du surnombre, de la surqualification, du grossissement, saturant le texte, et ce d'autant plus qu'il est bref, dans un processus jubilatoire. En concentrant dans un espace restreint les multiples éléments du conte, l'esthétique de l'hyperbole, si elle peut exister dans d'autres corpus et dans d'autres déclinaisons, permet spécifiquement d'accéder à la vérité du genre tel qu'il est pratiqué dans l'écriture mondaine des années 1690-1710. / Many fairy tales that appear at the end of the seventeenth century are modelled by a pervasive hyperbolic system. From the most micro-structural level to poetic macrostructures, hyperbole defines, justifies and confirms the wonderful genre. Wealth, abundance, repetitions, derivations or unbridled creations are so prolific versions of hyperbole. Saturating stories by recurring processes, the lexical distribution goes beyond the bounds regarded as inadequate to expose the original and fanciful inventions, and builds up to overwhelm tales with neologisms, lists or phrases stuck in a logorrheic expansion. At a higher level, the discourse of the narrator, and of the characters, reads and is ostensibly displayed in a generic exponential scene playing multiple forms to entertain and grow. Between frequent authorial interference and demonstrative discrepancies, the tale reveals a complex and unique scalar enunciation as if inherited from a univocal oral tradition. Repeating a composite, entangled elocutio the proxy from the stories dispositio adds, inserts and attaches the diegetic events in an overloaded narrative that extends the limits of a short paradoxically short genre. The numerous characters who dub the hero and increase his charisma are involved in the implementation of plural intrigues which find some coherence in the hero. Marked by a systematic focus that spreads around him, the hero collects and directs all diegetic motives. Enrolled in a tailor-made environment for him, distinguished by outrageous attributes, surrounded by enthusiastic spectators, the hero dominates the story by dramatizing his unusual status. As a hybrid genre, a kaleidoscopic and protean, the tale offers a paradoxical policy of continuing escalation of redundancy, over-qualification, magnification, saturating the text, and especially since it is short, in a joyful process. By focusing in a confined space the multiple elements of the tale, the aesthetics of the hyperbole, if it does exist in other corpus and other variations, specifically allows access to the truth of the genre, such as is practiced in the worldly writing years of 1690-1710.

Com base nos pressupostos da estética da recepção e, em especial, da teoria do efeito formulada por Wolfgang Iser, efetiva-se uma leitura da obra, na qual este trabalho se concentra, com vistas a problematizar a relação entre o real, o fictício e o imaginário na construção do mundo das fadas. Direcionando seus estudos para a análise dos efeitos do texto literário no ato individual da leitura, Iser concebe o leitor como um sujeito capaz de revelar a esteticidade da obra, de interagir com o texto atribuindo-lhe sentido particular. Sob tal perspectiva, a relação do real com o fictício e o imaginário apresenta-se como uma propriedade basilar do texto ficcional, sendo o imaginário caracterizado pelas situações da vida prática (re)criadas pelo leitor em diálogo com o horizonte trazido pela ficção. Por fim, ao se estabelecer uma comparação entre a personagem Emília, de Monteiro Lobato, e Clara Luz, personagem de Fernanda Lopes de Almeida, consideradas fadas modernas, tornam-se manifestas as modificações havidas no conceito tradicional de conto de fadas, e os efeitos dessa mudança no leitor infantil contemporâneo. / The present research investigates the origins of children’s literature and the changes occurred throughout its history, seeking to demonstrate a break in the modern fairy tale, from the unveiling of the relationships between the innovation observed in the book A fada que tinha ideias (1971), by Fernanda Lopes de Almeida, and the sociohistorical context wherein this narrative is included. Based on the assumptions of the reception aesthetics, and, in particular, on the effect theory formulated by Wolfgang Iser, a reading of the work is carried out, on which this study focuses, in order to problematize the relation between the real, the fictional and the imaginary in the construction of the fairy world. Conducting his studies to the analysis of the effects of literary texts in the individual act of reading, Iser understands the reader as a subject capable of revealing the aesthetics of the work, and also able to interact with the text, by assigning it a particular meaning. From this perspective, the relation between the real, the fictitious and the imaginary is presented as a fundamental attribute of the fictional text, being the imaginary characterized by situations of practical life recreated by the reader in a dialogue with the horizon brought by fiction. Finally, by establishing a comparison between the character Emilia, from Monteiro Lobato’s work, and Clara Luz, a character from Fernanda Lopes de Almeida’s work, both characters considered as modern fairies, the changes occurred in the traditional concept of fairy tale reveal themselves, as well as the effects of these changes in the contemporary reader-child.

This thesis discusses children's operas by J. Uhlir and Z. Sverak. It consists of brief biographies of both authors, summary of the origin of literary stories - fairy tales for simple librettos written by Z. Sverak, the theoretical implementation of the concept of children's operas and a practical analysis of each opera: Budulinek, Karkulka (Little Red Riding Hood), O dvanacti mesickach (The Twelve Months), Sipkova Ruzenka (Sleeping Beauty). Structural analysis has then been applied - the operas were divided into scenes, each musically analysed in terms of their melodies, harmonies and forms. Next, possible didactically challenging parts have been identified and how to use these rhythm, intonation and language issues for lesson planning have been suggested. In the next part of the thesis, the afore-mentioned issues have been empirically verified using the following methods - observation, practical class-leading and reflexive analysis of video recordings. KEYWORDS: Children's opera, fairy tale, musical theme, Budulinek, Karkulka, O dvanacti mesickach, Sipkova Ruzenka.

This thesis introduces two author's fairy tale musicals called Snow White and Cinderella. These musicals are intended for the early and late school-aged children. To understand the broader context and to provide for more information about this particular genre, the theoretical part discusses how musicals as a musical genre was created and then, it discusses its development, changes, forms and main features. It provides the information about the development of musicals in both the Czech Republic and abroad. Then, it elaborates on the professional musicals production for children (being the performers), again both abroad and in the Czech Republic. This is then followed by a practical part that introduces the two pieces mentioned above. It presents the information about their creation, realisation and motivation. In addition, it presents a critical analysis of their appropriateness for the child performers in light of their musical skills, abilities and the specifics of this age group while focusing on the music components of these pieces, such as melodic and harmonic aspects of the musicals, any key issues and issues of the transition from one key to another, rhythm, tempo changes and any challenges given by the dramatic expression and ability to speak other languages. The analysis was performed...
