The Danish fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen is cultural heritage in Denmark, and his authorship is a part of The Canon of Danish Literature that contains 14 obligatory authorships in the ...Danish educational system. In this article, we examine how the cultural policy of the ideologically rooted and highly political canon affects current teaching materials on Andersen's fairy tales. Our examples show how fixed readings of the fairy tales are reproduced in Danish classrooms. We suggest that dialogic teaching approaches to the fairy tales have potential to counter such readings and offer teachers and students the opportunity to engage with canonical literature in new ways. However, based on examples from existing dialogic teaching materials for Andersen's fairy tales, we also conclude that the task of countering the inexpedient influence of cultural policy in teaching materials should not be underestimated.

Long standing vitamin D deficiency in children causes rickets with growth impairment. We investigated whether sub-ischial leg length (SLL) is shorter, and cephalo-caudal length:length (CCL:L) ratio ...and sitting height:height (SH:H) ratio larger, with lower cord s-25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) in the population-based prospective Odense Child Cohort, Denmark.
We included healthy singletons born to term with available measures of cord 25OHD and anthropometrics up to three years' age. Linear regression was stratified by sex a priori and adjusted for maternal ethnicity, pre-pregnancy body mass index and smoking during pregnancy, season of blood sampling and child age.
Median (IQR) cord 25OHD was 48.0 (34.0-62.4) nmol/L. At mean age 19.1 months, n = 504, mean (SD) SLL was 31.7 (1.7) cm; CCL:L-ratio 0.62 (0.01). At 36.3 months, n = 956, mean SLL was 42.9 (2.0) cm; SH:H-ratio 0.56 (0.01). No participants had rickets. In adjusted analyses, 19-months-old boys had 0.1 cm shorter SLL (p = 0.009) and 0.1% higher CCL:L-ratio (p = 0.04) with every 10 nmol/L increase in cord 25OHD. Similar findings were seen for late pregnancy 25OHD. In the highest cord 25OHD quartile (>60.7 nmol/L), SLL was 0.8 cm shorter (95% C.I.: 1.36;-0.29, linear trend, p = 0.004), and CCL:L-ratio 0.8% higher (95% C.I. 8.0x10-05;0.01, linear trend, p = 0.01), compared to lowest quartile (<30.7 nmol/L). Similar associations with cord 25OHD were observed in 3-year-old boys. No consistent associations between 25OHD and anthropometrics were seen in girls at either age.
No leg shortening was found with decreasing cord s-25OHD in a healthy population of infants. A small, yet significant inverse association between cord 25OHD and SLL in boys 1½-3 years warrants further investigations.

Presenting Hans Christian Andersen is in many ways a recurrent act--both in European and in world-wide measure. But in the context of Czech literature Helena Brezinova comes with the first monography ...about a classic author read in 160 languages. In the Czech language, too, of course, first time published in 1851, since then remaining a part of the cultural awareness and literature tradition. With the undertitle Brezinova signalizes that her study has been inspired by the most outstanding literary scientists of the last decades in Denmark and Germany. But in fact on her literature list there are also sociologists, such as Habermas, and philosophers such as Nietzsche and Adorno, not to speak about Soren Kierkegaard, the latter being functionally incorporated in the substance of Brezinova's analysis.
International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated by IBBY members on or around the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen: April 2. Each year a different national section of IBBY has the ...opportunity to be the international sponsor of ICBD. It decides upon a theme and invites a prominent author from the host country to write a message to the children of the world and a well-known illustrator to design a poster. The 2021 poster and message were sponsored by USBBY; Margarita Engle wrote the delightful poem "The Music of Words," which was accompanied by the stunning artwork of Hans Christian Andersen Award winner (2014) Roger Mello.

Scholars of Andersen and Chamisso have largely overlooked the long-standing intellectual and aesthetic exchange between Anderson and Chamisso. They had an intensive friendship in 1831, thus leaving ...the intertextual connection between Chamisso's and Andersen's texts aside. Andersen read Adelbert von Chamisso's famous Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte just before writing his fairy tale Skyggen. Other writers at this time such as E.T.A. Hoffmann, Eduard Mörike, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Edgar Allen Poe have also widely used the metaphor of the shadow. In this essay, Chamisso's and Andersen's texts are examined as texts that conform to their respective media boundaries, while also sharing an intertextual interdependency.
This paper investigates the reception history of the Danish Poet and fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen in 19th-century Germany and its influence on his (auto)biographical depiction. Like many ...Scandinavian poets, Andersen discovered Germany’s literary potential and took advantage of it to further his career. In most cases, he was pictured as a genius who suffered systematic underestimation in Denmark. This narrative which determined his reception plays a central role in his German autobiography Märchen meines Lebens (Fairy Tale of my Life). Analyzing Andersen’s autobiographical discourse, I will reconstruct the process of the construction of Andersen’s (auto)biographical myth, emphasizing translation’s role in shaping autobiographical narratives.
The costuming conventions for mers, utilizing green and blue draperies, red coral accessories, and weed-like dripping hair and hemlines connected mers back to Germanic folklore and forward to ...twentieth-century interpretations of the iconic Hans Christian Andersen novel in animated film and staged versions. Multiple instances of stage practice spread over decades amounts to a repertoire of intelligibility that guided the collective imaginary to understand and accept specific conventions, both of the tailed and non-tailed manifestations of mers. In my print essay for the September 2019 (71.3) special issue of Theatre Journal on "Theatre and the Nonhuman," I explore the specific stage innovations and conventions for depicting female water spirits (naiads, Nixe, Meerjungfrauen, mermaids, and all the other names by which these creatures are known), emphasizing the importance of German-language theatre in putting these figures onstage into environments and costumes that accommodate locomotion as well as habitus.
