Blogs, Books, & Breadcrumbs: A Case Study of Transmedial Fairy TalesStewart, Kristy Gilbert 01 December 2014 (has links)
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.

Hjältar och hjältinnor : en strukturalistisk genusstudie av ryska folksagor baserad på Vladimir Propps funktionsmodell / Герои и героини : гендерное структурное исследование народных русских сказок, основанное на функциональной модели В. Я. ПроппаWotinseva, Janna January 2016 (has links)
This thesis investigates the correlation between narrative structure and gender of the central character in Russian folktales. The study is based on Vladimir Propp’s theory of functions, which is applied to a sample of ten wonder tales from Aleksandr Afanas’ev’s collection of folktales. The purpose of the study is to determine if there are any gender distinctions in the arrangement and manifestation of functions in the selected tales.The findings suggest that the narrative structure of Russian folktales differs depending on the gender of the tale’s protagonist. Structural features such as the acts of interdiction and violation are found to be characteristic of tales with female protagonists, while the structure of tales with male protagonists is distinguished by a greater extent of activity. The conclusion is that Russian folktales appear to reflect gender stereotypes on a structural level, especially the preconceived notion that obedience and passivity are female traits. / Предметом исследования данной дипломной работы является взаимосвязь между нарративной структурой десяти народных русских сказок и половой принадлежностью героев этих же сказок. В исследовании применена теория функций действующих лиц В. Я. Проппа на материале сказок из сборника А.Н. Афанасьева. Цель исследования: установить, показывает ли нарративная структура выбранных сказок половое различие относительно состава и манифестации функций действующих лиц.Результаты исследования указывают на то, что структура народных русских сказок варьируется в зависимости от половой принадлежности протагониста. Сказки, где главные герои женщины, характеризуются действиями запрета и его нарушения, тогда как сказки с протагонистами мужского пола отличаются большей степенью активности. Вывод предлагаемой работы заключается в том, что структурный уровень народных русских сказок отражает гендерные стереотипы, в особенности предвзятое мнение о том, что послушание и пассивность – черты характера, присущие женщинам.
