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.
The scientific monograph ('A Written Record of Live Storytelling') brings the basic theory and methodological procedures for field documentation, transcription and research of narrative folklore. It ...addresses threeContext, Texture and Transcoding of Stories Told Live by Tina Kravanja from Bavšica” brings the basic theory and methodological procedures for field documentation, transcription and research of narrative folklore. It addresses three levels of a folklore event – context, texture, and text – in the narration of folklore stories. Each level, especially context, is further enhanced with the theoretical findings derived from the author's own field work, e.g. defining storytelling meeting as alternation of stories, told in more artistic expression, and of linking texts told in an everyday. Linking texts are important cohesive ties of storytelling event as whole. The book also deals with defining of six roles of the participants who influence the course of storytelling event, etc. The monograph also attempts to solve the problem of putting down oral stories onto paper. To preserve as much information as possible, it proposes transcription as well as transcoding with the help of accurate phonetic transcription, concurrent notes on the texture, and a description of the context. The methods are explained with the phonetic transcription of 22 stories told by Tina Kravanja from Bavšica during a single field visit.
Ugankarski poti, ki jo je zasnovala prof. Mojca Krevs s svojimi dijakinjami in dijaki iz programa predšolske vzgoje iz GSŠRM iz Kamnika, se je pridružila tudi pripovedovalka Špela Regulj.
V Motniku smo sobotno dopoldne preživeli v družbi Irene Cerar in se sprehodili po Motniški pravljični poti ter skozi zgodbe spoznavali skrite kotičke zapisovalčevega rojstnega kraja.
V okviru 2. Križnikovega festivala je na Vranskem potekal voden sprehod za družine z majhnimi otroki s pripovedovanjem pravljic in ustvarjalno delavnico Vranska pravljična pot z Ireno Cerar. ...Pravljična pot se je pričela izpred graščine Podgrad. Udeleženci so se pod taktirko Irene Cerar podali na Tabor. Med potjo so otroci in starši uživali v prelepem vremenu, odličnem razgledu, zobanju rdečih gozdnih jagod ter poslušanju zanimivih Križnikovih pravljic, ki jih je kot čevljar, ki je večkrat zahajal na Vransko, tam tudi zapisal. Na Taboru je pohodnike pričakal župan občine Vransko Franc Sušnik. Otroci so slišali še eno pravljico, se igrali igrico medved Vohljač in izdelali svojo lastno letečo ribo.
