Fairy Tales from Before Fairy Tales: The Medieval Latin Past of Wonderful Lies
Do You See What I See? The Mythic Landscape in the Immediate World
This paper approaches relationships between visual and verbal aspects of performance in the rites of the tietj, an ethnic ritual specialist, recorded in Archangel Karelia. The focus is on the manipulation of motifs in the activation of mythic images which utilize features of the natural landscape. It will take a 'thick corpus' approach, attempting to contextualize these rites as much as possible within broader systems of cultural activity. Two ex…
At the ogre's house
The female helper identified in two recent articles in this journal is a figure in a stereotyped scene that exists in a number of different folktales. When the hero arrives at the ogre's house, this woman warns him that when the ogre returns, he will eat him. Then she protects the hero by hiding him. When the ogre comes in, he smells the human, but the woman (his wife, daughter, grandmother, or captive) prevents him from finding the visitor. Note…
Folktale Research and the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library
In the Winter 2000 issue of JAF, Kimberly J. Lau (2000) critiques the idea of the "series" as a marketing strategy, with particular regard to folktales published in volumes that represent different countries, regions, or ethnic groups. Her central example is Pantheon's line of fairy-tale books. Readers of JAF are, of course, interested in cultural criticism, particularly concerning the presentation of folklore in the media of popular culture. Som…
"The Dwarf and the Giant" (At 327b) in Africa and the Middle East
In Europe, AT 327B, "The Dwarf and the Giant," is distinguished by its ogre tale framework (children go to the ogre's house, trick the ogre, and return home) and by the motif of the switched bed places (nightcaps, etc.) that cause the ogre to kill his own children instead of the visitors. In Africa and in the Middle East, the motif of the switched bed places is less important, although it is still part of the tale type. Instead, or in addition, o…

Vladimir Propp and the Universal Folktale: Recommissioning an Old Paradigm: Story as Initiation
Vladimir Propp and the Universal Folktale: Recommissioning Old Paradigm--Story as Initiation. By Peter Gilet. Middlebury Studies in Russian Language and Literature, vol. 17. (New York, etc.: Peter Lang, 1998. Pp. 170 incl. bibliography. $41.95 cloth) The universal in the tide refers to tales that include Other World ruled by a magic and powerful being (1). Gilet situates this folktale (perhaps theme or motif would be a better description) within …
"Dogs Rescue Master from Tree Refuge," an African Folktale with World-Wide Analogs
Where did a certain folktale come from? is a time-honored question in folklore studies. It is often asked in the hope that the answer will reflect credit on one or another culture. In the debate over the extent of influence on African-American culture, leading folklorists including Elsie Clews Parsons, Melville Herskovits, Alan Dundes, Richard Dorson, and William Bascom expressed opinions about the relative contributions of European and tradition…
The Donkey Skin Folktale Cycle (At 510b)
The designation Aarne-Thompson 510B includes three different tale types. One is the Donkey Skin (Catskin, Cap o' Rushes) tale with beautiful dresses, parties, and a recognition token. In another, known in Italy, Sudan, India, New Guinea, and Japan, the heroine wears a human skin and is discovered as she bathes. In the third, she hides inside a piece of furniture

The Blind Girl, a Misplaced Folktale
In 1993, Western Folklore devoted a special issue to tales that relate the sufferings and adventures of an innocent, persecuted heroine. Half of the articles in that issue have a specific focus: a Grimm text or a tale type in a limited region. The others discuss a number of different tales. In particular,Jones (1993) carefully summarizes more than twenty tale types taken from Aarne's and Thompson's The Types of the Folktale. It might be expected …

Von der Ehe als Institution zur individuellen Partnerschaft: Einstellungen zur Ehe und Familie in Österreich
Analysen demographischer Daten münden häufig in Theorien über Deinstitutionalisierungsprozesse, denen zufolge die Institution der Ehe an Bedeutung verliert. Modernisierung und Individualisierung führen zu einer Pluralität der Lebensformen, die das „Single-Dasein“ oder partnerschaftliche Lebensgemeinschaften an die Stelle traditioneller Ehen treten lassen. Diese Entwicklungen ebnen Unterschiede zwischen Stadt- und Landbevölkerung, Bildungsschichte…
