White as Cheese’
This article examines the oral versions of the Palestinian tale ‘Jbene’, an oicotype of ATU 403, focusing on the relationships between two plot details that neutralize each other: whitening the heroine, as an act of creation/blessing; and blackening her in an attempt to ruin/destroy her. Socio-cultural aspects are examined, taking into consideration the status of female sexuality in Palestinian society, as well as the Palestinian–Israeli conflict…
Early Mother–Son Relationships, Primary levels of Mental Organization and the Foundation Matrix as Expressed in Fairy Tales
Relying on the idea that fairy tales are part of the foundation matrix, and that the phenomenon of realization of idiomatic expressions (often appearing in fairy tales) helps to reveal the affinity between concrete and metaphoric layers of the mind, this article focuses on the realization of idiomatic expressions found in fairy tales dealing with the earliest mother–son relationships in order to explore the different modes of expression in the so…

Two Forms of Blindness in the Social Unconscious as Expressed in Literary Texts
The article discusses aspects of blindness in the social unconscious as reflected in two literary products: fairy tale and short story. The discussion includes analysing the texts themselves and the analysis of a group’s reaction to such text.

Focusing on a group of Israeli participants, this article presents the functions of blindness in dea…
The Princess in the Wooden Body
Based on the examination of thirteen oral versions of type ATU 510B*, recorded in the Israeli Folktale Archive (IFA), mostly told by women, this article reviews and analyzes the common characteristics shared among these versions and blogs of incest victims, appearing on an Israeli website of sexual abuse victims. The nature of the disguise (a wooden body or the like), and the opening as well as the closing scenes, in which the maiden confronts he…
“Feeling Good in Your Own Skin” Part II
After describing the role of sensations in the primary levels of mental organization, this part of the article suggests viewing somatic idioms as the language's way to connect with these levels. We seek to exemplify the qualities, meanings and functioning of idioms, since they serve as a basic key in investigating the different layers of the mind. Examples taken from clinical cases, as well as from universal literary products, such as fairy tales…
Defending the House, Relating to the Neighbours
This article examines Druze versions of tale-type ATU 123 The Wolf and the Kids. The main issue of identifying a would-be-intruder—and the need to differentiate between friend and foe—takes on a special significance in the Druze versions of this international folktale because of the particular and complex status of the Druze community in Israeli society. The circumstances of the storytelling event, which took place in a multi-cultural university …
