113	Once Upon a Time in a Single-Parent Family: Father and Daughter Relationships in Disney's The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast Sharp, Ashli A. 01 December 2006 (has links) (PDF) Fairy tales are adapted to fit the needs of each generation, reflecting the unique challenges of that society. In the 1980s and 1990s of the United States, issues of what constituted a family circulated as divorce increased and fatherhood was debated. At this time, Disney released two animated films featuring a father and daughter: The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Both films are adaptations of fairy tales, and they incorporate changes that specifically reflect concerns of the United States in the late-twentieth century. In the original narrative of "The Little Mermaid" the heroine is primarily raised by her grandmother and wants an immortal soul more than the love of the prince. The tale ends with her death and expectation that after 300 years of service, she can obtain an immortal soul. Disney changes the story, however, by removing the grandmother and placing Triton at the head of the family. His overbearing nature pushes Ariel away as she struggles to gain her independence and win Eric's love. Before the story concludes, Triton, Ariel, and Eric work together to defeat the sea witch and achieve the film's happy ending--the creation of a traditional family. The fairy tale of "Beauty and the Beast" begins with a father who is educated, respected, and wealthy before hardship strikes. Beauty's request for a rose is what starts the adventure as she must learn to love the Beast to save him from an enchanted curse. Disney's alterations to the narrative make Maurice an ineffectual father whose inadequacies bring Belle to the Beast's castle, and the modified curse on the Beast makes both him and Belle need to fall in love, founding their relationship on equality. The tale concludes with the jubilant hope that the couple will form a family together. Both animated features proved popular with the public, suggesting that the films' resolutions are considered desirable endings. The films can then be interpreted as expressing the hope that from the single-parent homes of the late-twentieth century, a new generation of stronger nuclear families can arise if these homes base their relationships on unified efforts and equal partnerships.

115	“Too ridiculous to be believed” – an Analysis of Fairy Tale Violence in Roald Dahl’s Children’s Fiction Halonen, Daniel January 2021 (has links) The aim of this essay is to examine several categories of violence in Roald Dahl’s children’s fiction, with the background of fairy tale theory. Roald Dahl’s children’s fiction has raised criticism, and the grounds of it are reconsidered in this essay. Violence is a declining feature of children’s literature, and the sometimes-excessive use of it in Dahl’s fiction is conspicuous, therefore. If Dahl’s children’s fiction is located in the genre of fairy tales, however, and the violence analysed as a device inherited from this tradition, its function and effect become clear, as shown in this essay. In a study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), The Witches (1985), and Matilda (1988), I find that violence in Dahl’s fiction has three main effects; cautionary, entertaining, and cathartic effects. I also find that the burlesque quality of violence in Dahl’s work makes the charges of criticism less meaningful. children’s literature burlesque violence retaliatory violence cautionary effect cathartic effect fairy tale tradition cautionary tales General Literature Studies Litteraturvetenskap Specific Languages Studier av enskilda språk

Foram conduzidas dezesseis entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres, moradoras do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de lembranças e experiências vividas das entrevistadas em relação a marca e aos filmes, e empregando também dois filmes previamente selecionados que marcaram as duas gerações, Cinderela (1950) e Frozen (2014), foram obtidos resultados que apresentaram evidências de diferentes reações e identificações, provocadas pelas princesas nos filmes, denotando papéis sociais femininos dentro da sociedade. A geração a que pertencem e o nível socioeconômico das entrevistadas parece influenciar em suas reações. / [en] This study aimed to identify how low-income women, representatives of the Baby Boomers and Millennials generations interpret and react to the changing role of women in Disney tales and their influence on brand perception. Sixteen in-depth interviews were conducted with women from Rio de Janeiro State. From the memories and lived experiences of the interviewees regarding the brand and the films, and also employing two previously selected films that marked the two generations, Cinderela (1950) and Frozen (2014), results were obtained that showed evidence of different reactions and identifications provoked by the princesses in the movies, denoting female social roles within society. The generation to which they belong and the socioeconomic level of the interviewees seem to influence their reactions.

117	Le conte de fées parodique français du XVIIIe siècle : un discours antimerveilleux Caravecchia, Emilie Sarah 04 1900 (has links) À première vue inoffensif, le conte de fées parodique français du XVIIIe siècle dissimule, sous le couvert de la féérie, un discours anticontesque et antiromanesque. Qu'ils soient explicites ou non, ces propos prennent généralement forme dans les métalepses émises tant par les narrateurs que par les narrataires dans le texte lui-même ou dans le péritexte auctorial. L'élaboration d'une typologie, à partir de dix contes publiés entre 1730 et 1754, offre une vue d'ensemble de ce phénomène narratif épars et ouvre la voie à une analyse transversale des discours tenus dans ce trope. Loin d'être innocent, le contenu des métalepses contesques laisse poindre une nouvelle poétique du conte et du roman qui s'éloigne progressivement de l'idéal classique régissant toujours ces deux genres au XVIIIe siècle. / Seemingly harmless, the satirical French fairy tales of the 18th century contain a hidden discourse against the novel, which does not abide by the rules of traditional fairy tales. Explicitly stated or not, these utterances are generally voiced as metalepsis by the narrators, the witnesses within the story, or an authority outside the main text. The development of a specific typology based on ten fairy tales published between 1730 and 1754, helps to present an overview of this uncommon narrative phenomenon, and allows for a more transversal analysis of these figures of speech. The contents of these fairy tale metalepsis give rise to a new poetics concerning novels and short stories. In turn, these tales gradually distances themselves from the established norms governing these two 18th century literary genres.

120	The wyvern's tale : a thought experiment in Bakhtinian dual chronotope occupation Newell, Marilee January 2010 (has links) The non-fiction introduction to The Wyvern’s Tale: A Thought Experiment in Bakhtinian Dual Chronotope Occupation documents the evolution of the novel, The Wyvern’s Tale, from the ideas that inspired it to its current incarnation as a full-length novel intended for an adult audience. It comprises an explanation of the novel’s main concept, Bakhtinian dual chronotope occupation, as well as an idea-focused account of the creative-writing process. Detailed in the introduction’s theoretical premise is the relationship between Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of chronotope and the carnivalesque and the ideal of the divided union in Chalcedonian Christology. This relationship revolves around the state of existing in two time-spaces at once. The novel, The Wyvern’s Tale, explores this dual existence imaginatively using the setting of parallel worlds – the every-day world and a fictional world called Wyvern – as well as a protagonist, who functions in the fictional world as a Christ-figure. Particular thematic emphasis is placed on differing perceptions of truth and reality, and on the transformative power of costumes. The novel’s outcome, dependent on the reader’s decision as to whether dual chronotope occupation is possible or impossible, is respectively either hopeful or tragic. It attempts to reflect the outcome of the life and death of Christ depending on whether his co-existence as God and man was real or imagined. 800
