If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, ...evolved, and spread--or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes presents a provocative new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold--and why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures around the world.
Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychology, literary theory, and other fields, Zipes presents a nuanced argument about how fairy tales originated in ancient oral cultures, how they evolved through the rise of literary culture and print, and how, in our own time, they continue to change through their adaptation in an ever-growing variety of media. In making his case, Zipes considers a wide range of fascinating examples, including fairy tales told, collected, and written by women in the nineteenth century; Catherine Breillat's film adaptation of Perrault's "Bluebeard"; and contemporary fairy-tale drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that critique canonical print versions.
While we may never be able to fully explain fairy tales,The Irresistible Fairy Taleprovides a powerful theory of how and why they evolved--and why we still use them to make meaning of our lives.

Presented are seven folktales from Resia in northern Italy with a strong Slovene minority. On CD are presented narratives which have been recorded on magnetic tape by Academician Milko Matičetov. ...Translations from the Resian dialect in Slovene and in Italian language are published in accompanying book. One folk tale was recently recorded by Roberto Dapit in the Resian village of Lischiazze/Liščaci, and has been included in the collection to illustrate contemporary Resian narrative tradition. The tales recorded on the compact disk represent four different language groups of the Resian dialect, namely that of Stolvizza/Solbica, Oseacco/Osojane, San Giorgio/Bila, and Gniva/Njiva. This work was done within the project Zborzbirk.
Raziskava predstavlja primerjalno analizo zbirke nemških pravljic Jakoba in Wilhelma Grimma Otroške in hišne pravljice (1812, 2006), romanske pravljice (novo odkritje ameriškega znanstvenika Jacka ...Sipesa), ki jih je zbrala Laura Gonzenbach v zbirki Lepa Angiola (1870, 2006) in zbirka Slovenske pravljice (2002). Primerjalna naliza istega motiva temelji na strukturalistični teoriji znanstvenika Vladimirja Proppa Morfologija pravljice (1928, 2006), folkloristični teoriji motivov ameriškega folklorista Stitha Thompsona Motif-index of folk literature (1989), literarni teoriji švicarskega znanstvenika Maxa Lüthija The European Folktales: Form and Nature (1947, 1986), psihoanalitično teorijo Bruna Bettelheima (Rabe čudežnega, 2001), sociološko teorijo Jacka Siepsa (Why fairy tales stick?, 2006), feministično teorijo Clarisse Pinkola Estés (Ženske, ki tečejo z volkovi, 2001) in poststrukturalistično teorijo Marie Nikolajeve (Fairy Tale and Fantasy, 2003). Primerjalna analiza splošnih podobnosti in razlik evropskih pravljic se bo osredotočila na študij primera na motivu živalskega ženina oz. živalske neveste v vseh treh zbirkah pravljic. Izsledki primerjalne analize motiva bodo predstavili tudi primerjalno analizo podobnosti in razlik med germansko, romansko in slovansko inačico pravljice. Izsledki primerjalne analize bodo predstavljeni na koncu raziskave.
This translation of the book ('The Historical Roots of Magic Tale') written by one of the most prominent Russian folklorists of the 20th century Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp, presents one more ...classical work of anthropological and folkloristical science to Slovenian researchers. The theoretical starting-points which Propp concived in his book “Morphology of the Folktale” was in this work projected on concrete material – on Russian and European folktales. By comparing folktale motifs with actual historical and anthropological sources he substantiated his structuralistical and ritualistical theoties in folk narrative research and folkloristics.
Focusing on Slovenian mythology the book contains a review of Slovenian mythological, historical, and narrative material. Over 150 supernatural beings are presented, both lexically and according to ...the role that they have in Slovenian folklore. They are classified by type, characteristic, features, and by the message conveyed in their motifs and contents. The material has been analysed in the context of European and some non-European mythological concepts, and the author deals with theory and interpretations as well as the conclusions of domestic and foreign researchers. The book forms new starting points and a classification of supernatural beings within a frame of a number of sources, some of which have been published for the first time in this book.
The first volume in the Slovenski pravljičarji (Slovene Storytellers) collection of monographs contains tales recounted by Anton Dremelj-Resnik from Petrušnja Vas in Dolenjska. The esteemed ...academician Milko Matičetov has pronounced Resnik the best storyteller he has encountered during his field trips in various Slovene regions prior to his research work in Resia. The material in this book encompasses a rich palette of genres from short humorous folk tales, legends, historic tales, and anecdotes to the epically evolved animal tales and tales of magic. The book is prefaced with an extensive study, written by Anja Štefan, titled O pripovedovalcu, zbiranju in objavi njegovih pripovedi (On the Storyteller and on Collecting and Publishing His Folktales). In order to be understandable for every reader, the narratives have been set on paper in a consistently simplified dialectological system of the language spoken in the region of Dolenjska.
