Children’s folklore between narrative and play: Legends in a Summer Recreational Camp
In the framework of different narrative genres connected with children’s imagination, the legend manifests its presence in children’s processes and communication practices. This paper discusses the characteristics, content as well as diffusion of legends in the primary context of childlore, especially in regard to a corpus of stories narrated by children in a summer recreational camp in Greece. On the basis of a field research which follows the s…
The theme of the Old Woman and March in Greek folklore
The narrative of the old shepherdess who makes fun of March and is punished by being turned to stone or frozen has been told in various Mediterranean areas since at least the 16th century. Greece contributes to this tradition with two types of the legend, which differ from each other in terms of the figure of the old woman and the comical or tragic tone of the narrative. We should add a third Byzantine written narrative (12th century) to these tw…
Entre formes narratives, croyances et rituels: La légende dans le folklore grec contemporain
Dans la tradition orale grecque, la légende manifeste sa présence à plusieurs niveaux de l’expression populaire. A partir de la collection des Légendes (Paradosis) de Nikolaos Politis (1904) et du Catalogue des Contes Merveilleux Grecs de Georgios Megas (publié dans FF Communications No. 303) d’une part, d’un corpus de récits recueillis au cours de mon travail de terrain, de l’autre, j’étudierai certains aspects de la formation et de la transmiss…
Spinning and Cannibalism in the Greek ‘Cinderella’: Symbolic Analogies in Folktale and Myth
The Greek ‘Cinderella’ (with 254 versions recorded in the Catalogue of Greek Magic Folktales) is articulated around an ambivalent female spinning pair of mother and daughter(s), their intimacy menaced by matricide and/or cannibalistic nuances, explicit or implicit. This rich material is here studied framed by the relevant folkloric data with which traditional Greek audiences of the tales were familiar, as well as by older symbolic layers of myths…
Cultures enfantines: Universalité et diversité
Le voyageur, parfois dépaysé par l’immersion dans une autre culture, est au contraire aussitôt en terrain familier en observant un groupe d’enfants qui jouent. Pour autant, se souvient-il nécessairement des jeux de tape-mains qu’il pratiquait étant petit ? Sait-il si les enfants chantent encore « Am Stram Gram, pic et pic et colégram » quand ils « plouffent » ? Si certaines pratiques enfantines, de la cour de récréation à la rue, sont connues dep…
The Folk Cult of St Phanourios in Greece and Cyprus, and its Relationship with the International Tale Type 804: Research Article
This paper discusses, from a historical perspective, the basic elements of the folk cult of St Phanourios in Greece and Cyprus—namely, the custom of preparing phanouropita (literally, “St Phanourios pie”), which is connected with the belief that one can find something lost or obtain good luck in general—and the oral narratives associated with St Phanourios and his mother, which seem to constitute the Greek adaptation of the international folktale…
At 545b “Puss in Boots” and “The Fox-Matchmaker”: From the Central Asian to the European Tradition
The basic theme of taletype 545B unfolds in two narrative traditions which differ with regard to the hero, who can be a cat in the West or a fox in the East, and also with regard to the structure of the narrative itself. This paper discusses the 545B narrative tradition originating from the people of an extensive “middle” area (Armenia, the Caucasus, Asia Minor and Southeastern Europe), taking into account Central Asian versions of the tale as we…
