From the Spoken to the Written: The Changing Cultural Role of Folk and Fairy TalesMacfadyen, Leah P. January 2004 (has links)
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.

Subverting the Gothic : a study of Isak DinesenCossaro-Price, Rossana January 1991 (has links)
Isak Dinesen's Seven Gothic Tales is part of a literary tradition whose most important feature is its subversiveness. This subversion involves supernatural or fantastic elements in the creation of a temporary alternative world. The ensuing struggle between the real and the fantastic worlds is often embodied by a bourgeois heroine and an aristocratic male villain, respectively. The role of the heroine is pivotal to the plot for it is her survival that signals the defeat of a subversive alternative world. But what happens when the villain is a woman? Can her subversion be feminist in nature? The popularity and financial success of women writers of the Gothic means they could not have contradicted dominant views of gender. Yet, Dinesen's fiction demonstrates that subversion is indeed possible. A look at her life and her nonfiction works will facilitate an investigation into the subversive nature of her Gothic tales.

The psychodynamic interpretation of selected Gouro tales including their first time recording into writing in the Gouro language and translation.Theodore, Tra-Bi Goh. January 2004 (has links)
This study investigates into the psychodynamic interpretation of ten selected Gouro tales, that is the way in which the mind (psycho) and the action (dynamic body movement) of a Gouro storyteller translate into a performance. Because the tales are initially selected from the Gouro tale repertoire, the study focuses critically on the transcription of the tales into the Gouro language, which has no standardized written form yet, and translates the tales into English. In this thesis three levels of translation are addressed: (1) An inter-lingual level of translation which is the translation of the Gouro tales into English, (2) An oral-literate level of translation, which undertakes the writing down of the Gouro language which currently has no standardised written form, (3) An inter-modal level of translation, which focuses on the translation of an oral performance mode into a written mode in terms of the particular issues addressing the 'putting of the tale performance on the page'. The central theory accounting for the writing down of the Gouro tales in the Gouro language, the translation of the Gouro tales, and their psychodynamic interpretation is the theory of 'Human expression' as identified by the French anthropologist Marcel Jousse under the psycho-physiological laws of 'Mimism, Rhythmism, Bilateralism, and Formulism .' Jousse's theory of 'Human expression' underpins essentially what he calls the 'Oral-style expression', such as it is witnessed amongst the Gouro whose language is still essentially oral. The principles of the Oral style expression are thus applied to the orally
performed Gouro tale texts to delineate the tales' dynamic mnemonic contents. In other words, the interpretation and analysis of the Gouro tales aim at identifying the very narrative elements that make possible the memorizing of a
story, its recall, and its reliable transmission, such as it is the case in societies with the absence of writing. The products of this study are a suggested work-in-progress for a standardised written form of the Gouro language, and the documentation of the Gouro tradition which is fast disappearing to make it relevant and available to
researchers. / Thesis (Ph.D) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2004.

Resolving the paradox of a multicultural society : the use of international folktales for the promotion of multicultural values in the classroomKeys, Timothy J. January 1996 (has links)
In a multicultural society educators face the problem of identifying and promoting values that help people to interact in a peaceful and just manner. Instead of imposing values through indoctrination educators can promote multicultural values by designing and enacting curricula that help children to self-generate and choose these values. / I have developed a curriculum that uses international folktales to promote multicultural values without imposing them. This thesis is a holistic rendering of theory and practice in respect to the curriculum developed. The theory emphasizes multiculturalism and folktales as children's literature with a brief discussion of values education, qualitative research, anthropology, and curriculum design. The research comprises the procedures, results, and conclusions of a pilot study exploring children's value responses to international folktales and a principal study of teaching the curriculum to a sixth grade class. Through the synthesis of theory and practice a better understanding of multiculturalism emerges along with a researched curriculum.

The development of myth in the Leatherstocking tales of James Fenimore CooperMeyer, William C. January 1972 (has links)
This study examines how the five tales built around the central figure of Natty Bumppo reflect the growth of Cooper's mythic imagination. It also attempts to demonstrate how the myth of Leatherstocking serves to interpret the American experience, and it argues that Cooper's myth is important not merely because of its historical position in the development of American literature but because of its intrinsic literary merits as well.
