The aim of this paper is to explore how minimal-self impacts the body image, projecting it as a reflection of one's approach toward their health and mental well-being.
The study takes qualitative ...data from two countries India and Germany and draws on a qualitative study of 20 individuals who are involved in some kind of physical activity for a long time. This paper examines the body image perspectives from
showcasing fit and healthy perspectives on
side and projected and superfluous perspectives on
side. The study also provides a model deciphering the rationale for both the reflections.
The body image projection from Snow White perspectives (success & dedication, self-esteem, bodybuilding, and cosmetic surgery) relates to positive reflection of oneself with focus on fitness, discipline, and mental rejuvenation in life. Notably, Evil Queen perspectives (unrealistic makeover, dark side of social media, gain an edge over others, and mental benchmarking with fair skin) reveal these facets as motivators to equip their body as means of physical non-verbal communication assets.
Analysis shows that there is no clear white or black view of health and fitness projection
body image but it's a gray line that gives wholesome fitness either a holistic mental peace or a competitive or success-oriented approach.
Hans Christian Andersen is one of the most famous Danish writers whose fairy tales have been read by almost every child. The first book of Andersen’s fairy tales appeared in Lithuanian in 1895 and ...their popularity has not faded ever since. However, most Lithuanian translations consist of fairy tales translated not from Danish, but from intermediate languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French). This article analyses abridged, retold versions and translations from the intermediate languages of Andersen’s tale “Thumbelina”. It is concluded that, due to commercialization and the desire to publish the tales more cheaply, they are distorted and simplified. As a result, the storyline changes and the artistically motivated, integral structural elements of content and form are violated.
The article carries out a biographical study of the childhood and youth of Selma Lagerlöf, with the purpose of determining the conditions that influenced the development of her genius abilities to ...create fairy tales. Research methods: study, analysis and generalization of special scientific literature in order to identify the state of the researched problem. The biographical study of S. Lagerlöf’s childhood and youth combines environmental and personal approaches. Thus, S. Lagerlöf’s grandmother narratives about hereditary estate were the main factors that influenced the development of imagination and excellent literary abilities of S. Lagerlöf. The girl was very pleased to listen to grandmother’s stories, which were full of legends and secrets. When at the age of three, S. Lagerlöf suffered from paralysis, those stories were exactly the only consolation for her because in these narratives the girl drew strength and inspiration. It is likely that thanks to these legends and stories about the family nest and Sweden as a whole, S. Lagerlöf began to fantasize and create her own stories, which were permeated with love to her native land. It is possible that the grandmother and her stories instilled in the girl faith in miracles, goodness, and fairy tales. After all, regardless of the serious illness, S. Lagerlöf did not lose hope for the best, wisdom, optimism and continued to write her brilliant works, imbued with devotion to her native home. The writer depicted the beauty of the home more than once in her works. S. Lagerlöf created in her works a world full of romance, fabulous adventures, and idleness. The article highlights the features inherent in S. Lagerlöf’s fairy tales. First, the events in the writer’s works happen in places dear to her heart – the city, the country. Secondly, S. Lagerlöf resorted to romantic literary techniques. Thirdly, the writer used a well-known literary device in her fairy tales – personification, that is, animals, birds, insects acquire human features, they behave like people. It was concluded that S. Lagerlöf was a romantic, dreamy person who loved her homeland immensely. The problem outlined in the article is relevant and needs further processing in order for it to be thoroughly completed.
The concept of “fairy tale” was introduced to China in the early twentieth century. Subsequently, a wave of collecting and publishing fairy tales, along with other genres of folklore, spread all over ...China. By the early 1930s, the most influential editor in this folklore collection movement, with more than a thousand tales in multiple volumes, was Lin Lan. The tales were collected from everyday people in rural areas. These tales have demonstrated a continuing interactive history of oral storytelling and written records in Chinese history. By the late 1930s, many of the tales from the Lin Lan series had been introduced to the West. However, at the same time, questions about the actual identity (or identities) of “Lin Lan” and why the Lin Lan phenomenon occurred were never openly mentioned or discussed. Further, Lin Lan is still unknown beyond the Chinese-speaking world. This article revisits the Lin Lan phenomenon, examines the social background, and argues that Lin Lan should be appropriately acknowledged as the “Brothers Grimm of modern China.”

New critical perspectives are required to investigate forms of creative and critical writing that produce ecological knowledge and representation, to identify stylistic and structural features that ...strengthen or undermine environmental communication, and to appreciate narrative modes that may inspire a change in cultural mindsets and behaviours. The relationships between modes of communication and intergenerational dynamics are essential to understanding the power of environmental news and stories. Fairy tales and fables, in which the joy of the happy ending still resonates with doubts and fears, and dystopian and apocalyptic stories, in which destruction can raise palingenetic hope, are essential to environmental communication. David Attenborough’s ecology documentaries form a new green genre that blends the fairy tale and apocalyptic dystopia and uses entertainment to produce public understanding of the ecological crisis. Who is the narrator and how is the narrative built and delivered to develop environmental advocacy? Can nature documentary TV series contribute to changing consumers’ habits? Is the role played by celebrity conservationists and conservationist celebrities essential to promoting a cultural shift? These are intriguing questions raised by ecological narratives.
Fairy tales, one of the important genres of oral culture, are the main sources that identify and shape the gender roles of men and women (femininity and masculinity) who live in accordance with the ...characteristics of the culture they were born into. Since they are implicit activities of social cumulative development and transformation within a variable, fluid and latent process, fairy tales interact with gender roles using analogies. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the fairy tale named ‘Ali Ali Kız Ali’, from Kutahya, in the context of implicit cultural meanings and gender roles by utilizing qualitative analysis. In this examination, gender roles and differences in society’s behavioral expectations from these roles were taken into account. The concept of “gender justice” was used instead of the concept of “gender equality and/or inequality” to avoid any discrimination and marginalization of opposite and same sexes. The present study reveals that ideological gender roles, which exist in fairy tales, are transferred to our behavior and thought systems in an effective and permanent way that is far from being noticed and questioned. In this transfer, the power of the multilingual, timeless, unconscious, extraordinary, and colorful world of the fairy tale genre is effective. When cultural and social expectations change, behavior patterns expected by the society, gender roles, and the representations of these roles in these tales change as the tales change along with the behavioral patterns of the gender roles..

This paper focuses on indirect means of verbalizing the phenomenon of pessimism in the texts of literary fairy tales from the point of view of Linguosemiotics. The study aims to determine the ...linguistic and semiotic means that create the pessimistic discourse of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince and Other Tales collection. Pessimistic discourse is a person-centred discourse type represented by a complex system of means showing the speaker’s pessimistic worldview and is characterized by its goals, style, and tenor. The study contributes to developing Linguosemiotics, Psycholinguistics, and discourse studies and enriches the knowledge about idiostyles. The study is based on the semantic and lingo-semiotic analysis of the ontological phenomenon of pessimism in fictional texts, applying the content analysis to ensure the results’ reliability and validity. Furthermore, the four-staged methodological procedure used in this research allows us to define a general literary context of the analyzed works, select the research material, establish the frequency characteristics of the symbols as lingo-semiotic means that create the pessimistic tonality and discourse of Oscar Wilde’s collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales. The research determines the symbols of nature (seasons, flowers), material world (colours, things of everyday use), distancing, and death (as an ontological category) as verbal triggers of the author’s pessimism implemented in the narration by the contextual markers of basic, adjacent, and related qualitative features of pessimism, which reflect its social, psychological and cognitive aspects. The suggested methodology of the given investigation is perspective within the scope of various genres.

This article examines the artistic specifi city of the images and motifs of the works of Evgeny Lvovich Schwartz (1896–1958), in whose dramaturgical and prose fairy tales the infl uence of the ...romantic literary tradition is traced. Turning to the works of Andersen and Perrault, amongst others, Schwartz transformed not only the original plots, but also the very fi gurative poetics of their works. A hypothesis is advanced on the infl uence on these poetics of the motifs and images of E. T. A. Hoffmann and German Romanticism in general. In part, such an infl uence became possible since the literary author’s fairy tale itself was formed largely thanks to German romanticism. However, it is also necessary to take into account the close creative interaction of Schwartz with the artistic association of the “Serapion brothers.” Special attention is paid to the poetics of urban topos in the fairy tales “Doll City”, “Adventures of Gogenstaufen”, and “Shadow”, where the romantic tradition inherent in such authors as Andersen, Hoffman, and Odoevsky is traced. Using the historical poetics method, the comparative historical method, and comparative analysis in the works of Schwartz, the principle of romantic duality is revealed: the interaction of shadow and light, the motif of illusion, and the style of phantasmagoria. The motif of vampirism in the literal and allegorical sense is also separately touched upon, with reference to the peculiarities of this motif in the poetics of Romanticism.
