Obituary Michael Chesnutt (1942–2022)
Wilde Jagd, Ostwind, Westwind, himmlisches Kind
Winds are fascinating forces of nature, awe-inspiring and devastating when they appear as storms, and therefore a powerful theme in religion, literature and narrative, in music and the arts. Greek-Roman Antiquity personified the winds as nature deities, bearing resemblance to the angels and often represented as embodiments of forceful and tyrannic masculinity. These classical traditions are reflected in their own ways in the visual arts since the…
Charles Godfrey Leland and His Magical Tales
With the present selection of narratives, Jack Zipes pays tribute to Charles Godfrey Leland (1824–1903), an American publisher and journalist, translator of German poets Heinrich Heine and Joseph von Eichendorff, and the forefather of the Neo-Pagan movement through his book Aradia: Or, The Gospel of the Witches (D. Nutt, 1899). In the field of folklore, Leland was a pioneer collector of Native American and Romani narratives. Zipes’ title characte…
Legend and Life
Contemporary legends correspond to the concerns of our times. It is a well-known fact, however, that many of them are updatings of older stories. Here three antecedents of contemporary legends are discussed. The widespread legend of “The Wife Left by the Roadside” is paralleled by an episode from the life of Muammad's favourite wife, ‘Ā'ishah. While the modern legend is often used to ridicule women, ‘Ā'ishah's adventure gave rise to slander and p…
Reflections on International Narrative Research on the Example of The Tale of the Three Oranges
The Tale of the Three Oranges, also known in different cultures as L'amour des trois oranges , As tres cidras do amor, La brutta saracina, La mora tuerta, is one of the most favourite fairy tales. The tale can be characterised by a remarkably long text history, it has been recorded in hundreds of variants, and studied by means of the historic-geographic method. On the example of The Tale of the Three Oranges the author has pointed out several bar…

Marie-Antoinette et son célèbre dire
Les auteurs étudient le célèbre dire attribué à Marie-Antoinette « Ils n'ont pas de pain ? Qu'ils mangent de la brioche ! », dire également connu sous le titre « Let them eat cake. The queen has been told that peasants have no bread » (conte type 1446 de la classification d'Aarne et Thompson) et proche des proverbes. Elles décrivent les deux scénographies où il apparaît : émeutes de la faim et pique-nique champêtre. Puis elles situent les lieux e…

Some Considerations on International Folktale Research. «Three Oranges». The English version of the article has appeared in print in journal Folklore in 2001
Contemporary Legend Research in German-Speaking Countries
Until quite recently, the study of contemporary legends was often considered a stepchild of folk narrative research in the German-speaking countries (Wehse 1990, 67). However, studies of a closely related phenomenon, so-called date back to the early 1930s, and rumours were already being treated at the time of the first world war. The initial focus of this essay will be on these and other early contributions to the field (long before it was recogn…
