The problem with which this thesis is concerned is that of writing and directing an adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella. This study is a culmination of research on children's theatre, and the writing and producing of children's plays. The research led to the writing of the first draft of Cindy's Feller, an adaptation of Cinderella, beginning with a scenario which utilized a country-western theme. Upon completion of the first draft, the play was produced at North Texas State University during the summer of 1981. Stage directions of the play, a director's log of daily rehearsals, and an evaluation of the final productions were recorded to provide a stimulus for the writing of a final draft of Cindy's Feller and the preparation of this thesis.

Il était une fois les réécritures de contes, une production particulièrement vivante dans le monde de l’édition aujourd’hui. L’actualisation y est fréquente : petits chaperons rouges et chats bottés se promènent aujourd’hui dans les rues de la ville où ils rencontrent des loups en voiture ou des ogres de l’industrie. La parodie a bien sûr une fonction ludique, mais pas seulement, car en croisant le conte et la ville, ce sont deux univers de références qui se font face et qui se jaugent : les schémas hérités des contes classiques sont revus et corrigés au nom de nouvelles valeurs tandis que le pays des merveilles interroge celui de la réalité, avec son béton, sa circulation et sa logique toute capitaliste, si bien que c’est la ville qui sort finalement révélée de ce passage en féérie. Mais le phénomène est surtout à replacer dans l’histoire du genre. Grâce aux récents travaux de chercheurs re-contextualisant l’émergence du conte de fées sur la scène européenne, l’on s’aperçoit qu’il ne s’agit pas d’une pratique propre à l’époque contemporaine, mais au contraire de ce qui pourrait bien apparaître comme un trait du genre. Perrault déjà, par la scénographie de la vieille conteuse, offrait à son public de citadins des récits pseudo-naïfs l’invitant à dépasser l’illusion d’une parole décrochée pour trouver la « Morale trés-sensée ». Ainsi, par leur caractère polyphonique, les contes entrent moins dans une logique de transmission que de dialogue entre les générations, et pourraient pour cela être considérés comme les mythes de la modernité. / Once upon a time there were rewritten fairy tales, a very dynamic product in today’s publishing world. Updated fairy tales are the most common type: many Little Red Riding Hoods or Pusses in Boots are now walking through cities, meeting wolves who drive cars or ogres running industrial empires. Though parodies may be amusing, fun is not their only function. Intercrossing the urban imaginary with the fairy-tale means putting two referential universes face to face, each one gauging the other: traditional plots, inherited from classic tales, are twisted and corrected to fit new ideologies, and meanwhile the wonderland judges reality, with its concrete, its traffic, and its capitalist logic, so that in the end, it is the city which is reborn of the fairy tale experience. But the phenomenon should be replaced within the history of the genre. Thanks to recent academic studies, we can re-contextualize the emergence of the fairy tale in the European literary stage, and we have to note that updating fairy tales is not a contemporary practice, but could indeed be a generic characteristic. Perrault, already, by the scenography of the old maid telling tales to young kids, offered his urban public falsely naive stories, inviting them to look above the illusion of fiction, in order to find the “Morale trés-sensée”, the very wise moral. Therefore, because of their intrinsically polyphonic nature, fairy tales exist less within a logic of transmission than within a logic of conversation between generations, and for that they should be considered myths of modernity.

Storytelling has existed since the beginning of humanity, in every culture. Today, we are still telling stories that are hundreds of years old. Sleeping Beauty, or La belle au bois dormant, is a classic fairy-tale. In the original version by Charles Perrault it is a story in two parts with a morality poem in the end. In this work, the relation between the story and the lessons that can be drawn from it and its final morality are examined. The aim of this work is to find out if the morality confirms or contradicts the story in La belle au bois dormant, and in what way, and secondly if La belle au bois dormant fulfil our expectations of a fairy tale. In order to give a deeper understanding of the key words, fairy-tale, as a genre, and the role of moral in literature two books aimed for literary education in French schools are used. By defining fairy-tale as a genre and the role of moral messages in literature, they can be compared to our story. Furthermore, by using examples from the story and analysing the story and the morality poem of Sleeping Beauty respectively, thus this essay spreads light on the contradicting messages in this fairy-tale. At the end of this work the conclusion is reached that the morality poem is not in any way confirmed by the story and that the two differ in terms of theme, content, and message, and thus La belle au bois dormant differ from traditional fairy tales because its morality does not support the story.

[pt] Esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar reescritas brasileiras do conto Chapeuzinho Vermelho, cânone da literatura infantojuvenil. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, toma como texto fonte a versão francesa de Charles Perrault (século XVII), o primeiro no Ocidente a registrar oficialmente essa e outras histórias da tradição oral na literatura escrita. Com base nos Estudos Descritivos da Tradução e nos pressupostos teóricos de André Lefevere, procura-se discutir alguns aspectos presentes no sistema literário francês do século XVII, e analisar como o conto foi reescrito no sistema literário brasileiro em dois momentos distintos: em um período de desenvolvimento inicial da literatura infantojuvenil nacional (final do século XIX e início do século XX) e na contemporaneidade (século XXI), quando diversas reescritas foram elaboradas por tradutores e adaptadores brasileiros consagrados na área da tradução e/ou da literatura. São analisadas as reescritas de Figueiredo Pimentel (2006; 1911 [1896]), Monteiro Lobato (2007 [1934]), Katia Canton (2005), Mário Laranjeira (2007), Walcyr Carrasco (2009), Maria Luiza Borges (2010), Ivone Benedetti (2012) e Rosa Freire d’Aguiar (2012 [2007]). Também fazem parte do corpus da pesquisa textos (prefácios, posfácios, cartas, entrevistas, etc.) em que se busca examinar concepções de tradução, assim como fatores culturais, linguísticos e ideológicos que interferiram nas escolhas dos tradutores, e ainda o efeito potencial dessas escolhas nas diferentes épocas, considerando que as reescritas estão inseridas em contextos de ideologia e poder. / [en] This thesis intends to analyze Brazilian rewritings of the tale Chapeuzinho Vermelho, a canonical text in children’s literature. This research, of qualitative character, takes as source text the French version written by Charles Perrault (17th century), the first author in the West to officially register this and other stories of oral tradition in the written literature. Based on the Descriptive Translation Studies and the theoretical assumptions of André Lefevere, we will discuss some aspects found in the French literary system of the 17th century, and investigate how the tale has been rewritten in the Brazilian literary system in two different moments: in the initial stages of the development of the national children’s literature (at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century) and in the 21st century, when different rewritings have been done by Brazilian translators and adaptors renowned in the area of translation and/or literature. The analysis focuses on rewritings by the following authors: Figueiredo Pimentel (2006; 1911 [1896]), Monteiro Lobato (2007 [1934]), Katia Canton (2005), Mário Laranjeira (2007), Walcyr Carrasco (2009), Maria Luiza Borges (2010), Ivone Benedetti (2012) and Rosa Freire d’Aguiar (2012 [2007]). The corpus of this research also includes texts such as prefaces, postfaces, letters and interviews, through which we intend to examine not only conceptions of translation but also cultural, linguistic and ideological factors that interfered in the translators’ choices, and the potential effect of those choices in different times, considering that the rewritings are inserted in contexts of ideology and power.

The creative work, Black-Winged Angels, is a collection of nine re-written fairytales. The collection is divided into three sections: Maiden, Mother, Crone and the three stories in each section explore various aspects of these traditional periods in a woman's life. The tales are re-written, or 're-loaded', to offer alternative views of the tales of childhood, to examine other forces that may be at work inside the stories themselves, and the possible consequences of 'living' those tales differently. The exegesis examines the colonisation and reclamation of a range of fairy tales. It traces the historical shift from oral to literary fairy tale traditions, and the ensuing patriarchal rewriting of those fairytales. The exegesis then considers the writing of Angela Carter and Emma Donoghue (specifically The Bloody Chamber and Kissing the Witch, respectively), in terms of how their work in the fairytale genre has both succeeded in, and failed to, avoid a simple inversion of gender with their revisions of the colonised literary fairytales. The exegetical work has grown, in large part, out of the process of critical reflexivity to which I have subjected my creative work. I chose Angela Carter's and Emma Donoghue's works of revisionist fairytales to act as 'bookends' for my own work; Carter as a starting point for fairytale reclamation and Donoghue as a more recent incarnation of the fairytale revisionist. In reflecting on my own work, I often looked back at what these two authors had done, to guide me in the eternal writers' struggle of what to leave in, what to leave out, and where to take the tale.

Cette thèse se propose d’étudier les contraintes lectoriales susceptibles d’exercer une influence sur les décisions du traducteur de la littérature de jeunesse en se servant d’un grand corpus composé des traductions chinoises des contes de Charles Perrault (1910-2016). Elle s’articule autour de trois questions centrales : Qu’est-ce que les contraintes lectoriales ? Quelles sont les contraintes lectoriales en traduction de la littérature enfantine ? Quelles sont les contraintes lectoriales qui ont existé dans la pratique traductive chinoise des contes de Perrault ? Pour mener à bien cette investigation, nous avons suivi les trois étapes suivantes : 1) à la lumière des travaux traductologiques antérieurs, nous avons d’abord tenté de définir la notion de « contrainte lectoriale » et de proposer un modèle d’analyse qui permet de mieux saisir les décisions traductives prises en situation de ces contraintes ; 2) nous focalisant ensuite sur la littérature de jeunesse, champ d’application de notre problématique, nous avons ensuite relevé, de manière générale, les spécificités du lectorat enfantin à l’appui des discours théoriques de la littérature de jeunesse et de la pédopsychologie ; 3) à la fin, une longue partie a été consacrée aux analyses du corpus, lesquelles seront en mesure de tester les hypothèses que nous avons formulé dans le développement théorique et de révéler les normes traductives propres à la traduction pour la jeunesse en Chine à une époque donnée. D’un point de vue communicationnel de la traduction, les contraintes lectoriales constituent pour nous l’ensemble hétérogène des facteurs liés au sujet lisant et pouvant entraver la liberté du traducteur dans sa prise de décisions. Elles varient selon le temps et l’espace avec les changements dans la langue-culture d’accueil, dans notre cas le contexte d’arrivée chinois. / The present thesis aims to study the “reader’s constraints” that can influence the decisions of the translator of children’s literature by using a large corpus of Chinese translations of Charles Perrault’s tales (1910-2016). It focuses on three central questions: What are the “reader’s constraints”? What are the “reader’s constraints” in the translation of children's literature? Which are the “reader’s constraints” that existed in the Chinese translation of Perrault's tales? To carry out this investigation, we have followed the three steps outlined below: 1) in the light of previous research in translation studies, we first tried to define the notion of "reader’s constraint" and propose a model of analysis that allows us to find the translational decisions made in the context of those constraints; 2) then we have focused on the children’s literature, in order to examine the features of the young readers by aid of the theoretical discourses of youth literature and child psychology; 3) finally, a long section has been devoted to the analyzes of the corpus, which will be able to test the hypothesis formulated in our theoretical development and to reveal the translational norms which can be applicated to the translation for the youth in China at a given time. From a communicational view of translation, the reader’s constraints constitute a heterogeneous set of factors related to the reader and which can hinder the translator's freedom in his decision-making. They vary according to time and space with changes in the target language-culture, which is the Chinese context in case of our study.

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of fairy tales in French language teaching. The first part is dedicated to the definition of fairy tales as literary texts and to the presentation of general aspects related to the use of literary forms in foreign language teaching. The subsequent parts are focused exclusively on fairy tales. First of all, the fairytale genre is generally introduced. Afterwards, several ways of the application of fairy tales in French classes are outlined, with regard to the focus on language skills and sub-skills. The practical part includes more subsections, however, it mainly aims at the analysis of the role of fairy tales in French language teaching in the Czech Republic. Therefore, it consists of the analysis of significant French textbooks and of a questionnaire survey aimed at Czech lower secondary and high school teachers. The textbook analysis verifies the presence of fairy tales in didactic materials, whereas the aforementioned survey examines the experience and opinions of foreign language teachers on this issue. Finally, three worksheets, based on recently acquired knowledge, are created to serve as the source of inspiration and motivation for the use of fairy tales in foreign language teaching.
