Orientador: Karin Volobuef / Banca: Maria Celeste Tommasello Ramos / Banca: Paulo Sérgio Villela Marques / Resumo: O presente trabalho visava, inicialmente, a investigar a realimentação da história pelo mito, e deste pela realidade, por meio da análise comparativa entre textos diversos, a partir do conto de fadas A montanha de vidro, traduzido do alemão para o inglês por Andrew Lang. Todavia, a partir do levantamento e seleção de textos que tomou em consideração um conjunto de elementos do conto-base relacionados com a expressão "montanha e mulher", acreditamos estar diante de dados de natureza simbólica anteriores ao mundo pagão politeísta androcêntrico. Constatamos, das derivações do uso desses símbolos, que a figura feminina gradualmente perdia poder até desaparecer por completo, restando da ligação desses símbolos com o universo feminino apenas resquícios. Portanto, embora não se tenham deixado de lado ferramentas pertinentes ao campo da psicanálise e da história, privilegiaram-se conceitos antropológicos para a análise comparativa desses símbolos, em mitologias e narrativas de culturas diversas, na medida em que foram apropriados do feminino, primeiramente pelo universo masculino, tanto divino quanto humano, e do mundo pagão pelo cristianismo. / Abstract: The present work aimed, initially, to investigate the feedback of the history by the myth, and of the myth by the reality, through the comparative analysis between diverse texts, from the fairy tale The Glass Mountain, translated from German into English by Andrew Lang. However, from the collection and selection of texts that took into account a set of tale-base elements related to the expression "mountain and woman", we believe that we are faced with symbolic data that predate the pagan androcentric polytheistic world. We have seen from the derivations of the use of these symbols that the female figure gradually lost power until it disappears completely, leaving only the remnants of the connection of these symbols with the female universe. Therefore, although relevant tools in the field of psychoanalysis and history have not been overlooked, anthropological concepts for the comparative analysis of these symbols were favored in mythologies and narratives of diverse cultures, inasmuch as they were first expropriated of the feminine, by the male universe, both divine and human, and only then were they expropriated from the pagan world by Christianity. / Mestre

This essay examines gender normative and patriarchal elements of the popular fairy            tale Sleeping Beauty in order to expose how patriarchal ideals are upheld. The reason for this is that children may internalize the values taught in these stories, which may lead to them perpetuating patriarchal ideals and gender normative behavior. The popular version of this fairy tale, made by Disney, follows many of the typical patriarchal ideals with a strong male hero, a wicked female witch and a weak and submissive young female, close to nature. This is contrasted by a modern retelling by Cameron Dokey that is, in many ways, gender subversive and challenges the traditional gender roles and attributes. This essay finds that the version made by Disney is a product of its time, and portrays ideals from that period that could affect children of today into internalizing archaic patriarchal ideals. Dokey’s version is better adapted to the current socio-cultural environment and succeeds in aligning the story with modern values and provides a better option to teach children the actual values and gender roles of our society. / Denna uppsats undersöker könsnormativa och patriarkala element i den populära sagan Törnrosa, för att blottlägga hur patriarkala ideal upprätthålls. Anledningen till detta är att barn kan internalisera de värderingar som lärs ut i dessa sagor, vilket kan leda till att de upprätthåller patriarkala ideal och könsnormativa beteenden. Disneys populära version av sagan följer många av de typiska patriarkala idealen, med en stark manlig hjälte, en ond kvinnlig häxa och en svag och undergiven ung kvinna, som är nära kopplad till naturen. Denna version kontrasteras av en modern återberättelse av sagan skriven av Cameron Dokey som på många sätt utmanar traditionella patriarkala könsnormer och sttribut. Disneys version är en produkt av sin tid, och porträtterar ideal från den tiden som kan påverka dagens barn att internalisera ålderdomliga könsideal. Dokeys version är bättre anpassad till den nuvarande socio-kulturella miljön och lyckas med att justera historian till att bättre passa moderna värderingar, och framstår som ett bättre alternativ för att lära barn vårat samhälles könsroller och värderingar.

The development of creativity of primary school pupils by fairy-tales.

This paper explores the cultural roles of tale-telling, and how these roles may have been transformed by the transcription of folk and fairy tales into “literature,” with reference to Paul Connerton’s ideas of habit-memory and collective identity, Benedict Anderson’s writing on the rise of print capitalism, and Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of cultural capital and the power of language.

This summary shows that the positive improvements of creativity are obtained by broadening and deepening the knowledge of fairy tales of primary school pupils in the theoretical and practical level, and by realization of potentialities rendered by teaching means of Lithuanian language for the develpment of divergent thinking and imagination of pupils and nurturance of sense of humour, emotionality and empathy purposefully employing additional educational activities.
