Abstract Entgegen der Popularität von Joachim Ringelnatz’ (1883–1934) Märchen beim Lesepublikum, fehlt bislang eine diachrone Betrachtung seiner Neigung zur Märchengattung im Gesamtkontext der ...Entwicklung seiner Poetik. Die Forschungen zu seinen experimentellen Nachkriegsmärchen erläutern deren spezifische tonangebenden, disharmonischen Merkmale und deren Subversion der herkömmlichen Märchenerzählverfahren ausschließlich im Rahmen synchroner—autobiographischer oder parodistischer—Kontexte, welche es nicht ermöglichen, das primäre konstitutive Moment ihres destruktiven Charakters deutlich aufzuzeigen. Daher interpretiert dieser Beitrag Ringelnatz’ bislang unerforschte, auf neoromantische Weise optimistische Einstellung zur Märchengattung im Rahmen seiner Vorkriegswerke: im Gedicht Ein Traum (1906), in den Märchen Der ehrliche Seemann (1908), Der Wunderbrunnen (1913), und in der Märchenerzählung Phantasie (1912). Sein Märchenwerk aus der Vorkriegszeit zeichnet sich durch die Schaffung von Seelenräumen aus, in denen die Neigung zum Seelenleben und zur Kindlichkeit als eine Modalität der transzendentalen Erfahrung der Selbstharmonisierung mit der Welt angedeutet wird. Im Vergleich zur neoromantischen (seelenbeschwörenden) Chronotopik seiner Vorkriegsmärchen erweisen sich die Märchenwerke der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit als konzentrierter Ausdruck des enttäuschten Verlusts des Glaubens an das ontologische Potential der Märchengattung und an die inhärente Güte und Transzendenzfähigkeit der menschlichen Innerlichkeit. Ihre Chronotopik stellt eine gezielte Negation der romantischen Märchenchronotopik dar.
Cornelia Funkeʼs Reckless novels combine the vaguely medieval world of European fairy tales with technological advancements which, throughout the three existing novels, speedily evolve from the ...earliest trains of the industrial revolution to the tanks of WWI. The consequences of this worldbuilding underline the conflict of past and future present in the novels in three distinct ways, namely as a dualism of technology and magic, as the paradox of fairy tales existing in a world made up of fairy tales, as well as the opposition between father and son. After analyzing these three aspects, the article concludes that the dualism of magic and technology exists on a fundamental level throughout the series as a discrepancy between worldbuilding and plot: While the world of Reckless is quickly moving towards a future formed by technology, the plot of each novel relies entirely on magic and is thus chained to the past.Publisher's note: This article was originally published as part of issue 8.1.

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.
Theodor Mintrop’s posthumously published “fairy tale in 70 pictures”, König Heinzelmann’s Liebe (“King Heinzelmann’s Love”), of 1875 is based on drawings of 1866 that are in their turn based on ...pictures for Anna Rose (1839-1886) of 1855 and 1860. All of the drawings are illustrated here in colour and in a large format and are accompanied by commentaries in German and English. Like the drawings for Minna Bozi, née Rose, of 1855-1857, these works are characterised by Mintrop’s playful as well as artistically innovative humour.
