Connolly, Magdalen Majella. "Linguistic variation in Egyptian Judaeo-Arabic folk tales and letters from the Ottoman period." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/283608.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis comprises a comparative typological study of Egyptian Judaeo-Arabic folk tales' and letters' grammatical features from the Ottoman period, with the aim of establishing the degree to which variation exists between two genres of written Judaeo-Arabic, and how it manifests itself. Within Judaeo-Arabic textual studies, the dominant trend is to examine a single genre of this written form of Arabic from one or more chronological period in isolation. As such, we know much about the linguistic features of business letters (Khan 1992, 2006, 2013; Wagner 2010, 2014), Biblical translations (Hary 1992, 2009) and folk tales (Palva 2007-2008; Hasson-Kenat 2016; Ørum 2017). Yet, our understanding of the extent and nature of linguistic variation between genres of written Judaeo-Arabic is somewhat limited. This research project addresses this disciplinary desideratum, working predominantly with previously unedited and untranslated manuscripts and adopting an inter-genre and diachronic comparative approach, throughout. The scope of this thesis is limited to two genres of written Judaeo-Arabic, focsuing on a small number of corpora (which each contain three to five manuscripts) from the fifteenth-nineteenth centuries. The thesis is divided into two main sections. The first of these examines the orthographical and (limited) phonological data available in these corpora. Among the more notable contributions in this section are: (i) a (re)-examination of the diacritical dot, both in relation to the much discussed Arabic letter ğīm, and other graphemes, which have been all but neglected in existing scholarship; (ii) an exploration of the potential motivations behind the separation of the definite article, a key feature of late written Judaeo-Arabic; and (iii) an investigation into the plene spelling of short vowels and the information contained therein. The second section is devoted to a detailed study of diachronic developments and inter-genre variaton in subordination, divided into three sub-sections. In the first of these sub-sections, I focus on syndetic and asyndetic forms of complementation, complement types, the modalities of complementtaking predicates, and complementisers. The second sub-section builds on previous studies of relative clauses in written Judaeo-Arabic (cf. e.g., Wagner 2010). The final sub-section centres on analysis of adverbial subordination and adverbial clause markers. The results of these explorations demonstrate that with regard to written Judaeo-Arabic, we may speak of consistent differences in styles unique to each genre. I conclude by expressing the intention of expanding this research to include an intergenre, diachronic study of written Judeao-Arabic morphological features, at a future date.

Abstract:
Literature is a very powerful educational tool shaping ideas, behaviour and values of children. In spite of the fact that folk tales and fables were not originally created as genres for children, nowadays they are viewed by parents and teachers as suitable for young readers and are even included in school programs. However, only few people realise that at different stages folk tales and fables influence all spheres of children’s development: social, cognitive, personal and, most importantly, moral. They are indirectly transmitting knowledge of the society and world construction together with social norms and values. This research aims at uncovering the hidden values and social norms that Serbian folk tales and fables promote. The choice of exactly Serbian folk tales and fables was purposeful since there is almost no research in English dedicated to Serbian folk literature and its influence on children. To achieve the aims of the research, there was a thematic content analysis of a collection of Serbian folk tales and fables done. The texts of all the folk tales and fables included in a book were coded and categorised. The use of content analysis made it possible to describe the importance of certain topics. The book itself called Српске народне баjке и приче (Serbian folk tales and fables) was composed in 2013 by Matijevich and contains 53 stories and a dictionary. I intentionally take the whole book because adults who read folk tales to children are more likely to buy a book and read all the stories from it than to select stories themselves. Social learning theory and modelling theory, used as a foundation of the research, claim that people learn from each other by adopting particular behaviour. Heroes of folk tales possess all the characteristics needed to be models for such imitation: competence, prestige and power, stereotypical gender behaviour, relevance to the child’s social context and familiarity. In such a way, children learn values and social norms presented in folk tales and fables by identifying themselves with heroes. Based on this fact, the values and attitudes of Serbian society could be uncovered by analysing the folk tales and fables in terms of personal traits of characters that are shown as positive or negative, cases of rewards and punishments, types of behaviour and social norms viewed as normal and traditional. Based on the data, I provide a value portrait of an individual that is promoted by Serbian folk tales and fables. The underlying idea of the analysis is that Serbian society is presented as traditional in terms of attitudes and gender roles. There is an obvious hierarchy, in which men are more important than women. However, some women and men possess characteristics not common for their gender, for instance, some heroines are smart and independent and some heroes may cry. In addition to that, Orthodox Christianity values influence all the aspects of life and actions of people by providing them with God’s commandments to follow. People ́s behavior goes in line with nine out of ten commandments. The one proclaiming equality among people does not work since in Serbian society there is a clear hierarchy, which requires addressing and treating others according to their status. The issues of validity and reliability were taken into consideration on all the stages of the research. Since the way I, as a researcher, can interpret the results is subjective and may differ from other people’s, I consulted my Serbian colleagues who helped me with translation in terms of what meanings they see in particular text units and if it is at variance with my views. Overall, the study opens up the educational potential of Serbian folk tales and fables and is useful for parents and adults working with children. I suggest my own ways of using folk tales and fables in working with children and describe the experience that other teachers had in using folk tales in classrooms to preserve traditional worldviews in children or question the status quo. Finally, researchers interested in the field may find quite many topics offered for further research as a possible continuation of this study.

Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=24103.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary objective of this M. A. thesis is to correct some false assumptions found in both older and more recent secondary literature on North American Indian narratives. Many folklorists base their folktale criteria on terms of cultural differences instead of similarities which results in an ethnocentric point of view that holds the Grimms' Kinder- und Hausmarchen as a standard against which all other folktale collections falls short. If we want to strive for a world view that will embrace all types of literature, while respecting the individuality of each culture, then we must focus on the essential similarities among world literatures and not the differences. The purpose of using another culture as a comparison, such as that of the North American Indians, is to question the ethnocentric definitions of folktales and fairy tales which have often been too rigid. Perhaps those cultural values exhibited by North American Indian folktales could prove to be beneficial to the world's multi-cultural society, in that these values could enrich and rejuvenate some Western values, such as respect for animals and the environment. These values may offer solutions to urgent contemporary world problems. Through a comparative analysis of the animal suitor motif found in the Grimms' fairy tales and North American Indian folktales, I hope to call attention to the stark cross-cultural similarities in universal folklore and to bring to light the multiplicity of cultural values which are deeply rooted in fairy tales and folklores around the world.

Full text
Abstract:
This research examines the impact of paired folk tales and science explanations on students in third through sixth grades who viewed program modules from the SkyTeller Project of Lynn Moroney and the Lunar and Planetary Institute of Houston, Texas. The audience consisted of over 3500 students in eight locations in the United States. Because few quantitative studies have been conducted to examine the use of stories in science education, the development of an instrument to assess students' attitudes toward science and stories forms a major part of this research. During the final stage of testing, the revised instrument and methods found significant increase in positive attitude toward science after the presentations. Questionnaires, telephone calls, and on-site visits with program presenters and teachers confirmed quantitative results. Despite the difficulties of conducting large-scale studies and the traditionally small response compliance, quantitative assessment can provide useful information for evaluating storytelling media.

Abstract:
This study investigates the content, collection and dissemination of the Legends of the Cars, a group of tales published in Folk-Lore in 1891, as having been collected in North Lincolnshire from local people. The stories, have been criticised for their relatively unique content and the collector, Marie Clothilde Balfour has been accused of creating the tales. The stories are today used by artists, writers and storytellers, wishing to evoke the flatland and beliefs of the past, yet despite the questions raised regarding authenticity, neither the collector, the context or the contents have been thoroughly investigated. The tales have also, due to their inclusion in diverse collections, moved geographically south in the popular perception. This thesis documents the research into the historical, geographical and social context of the Legends of the Cars, and also validates the folkloric content and the dialect as being from North Lincolnshire. The situation within the early Folklore Society prior to, and after the publication of the stories, has also been investigated, to reveal a widespread desire to collect stories from the rural populations, particularly if they demonstrated a latent survival of paganism. Balfour followed the advice of the folklorists and, as well as submitting the tales in dialect, also acknowledged their pagan content within her introductions. Shortly after the publication, she became a member of the Folklore Society, and though she continued to collect stories these appeared not in Folk-Lore but in the popular collections of Jacobs. The story collecting methods used in the late nineteenth century and the narrative content of the Legends of the Cars, have also been explored to demonstrate clear links to the oral rather than literary traditions. These factors have been set alongside an exploration of the life of Balfour to highlight her potential motivations. Using clues within the introductions, I believe I have managed to locate the tellers of four of the stories, and whilst the original creators of the narratives may never be known, their influences have placed these tales firmly within the Ancholme Valley, a fact that is of growing interest to the people of the Lincolnshire Carrs today.

Wilkinson, Lorna Christine Rose. ""A blur of potentialities" : the figure of the trickster in the works of Elizabeth Bowen, Elizabeth Taylor, Iris Murdoch and Muriel Spark." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/28760.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the figure of the trickster in the works of Elizabeth Bowen, Elizabeth Taylor, Iris Murdoch and Muriel Spark. By looking at these writers’ treatment of elusive, illusive and allusive characters, the thesis argues that they each incorporated what can be read as “trickster” figures in their fiction as a means of addressing anxieties about art, society and the self. The trickster is a character-type found in narratives from a multitude of cultures and eras, and is typically characterised by his subversive presence, his boundary-crossing and his role as a healer of predicament. While the trickster is often perceived as a universal phenomenon arising from a collective unconscious, this thesis instead focusses on writers’ intentional inclusion of trickster characters in literature as a way of thinking through specific problems. Bowen, it will be shown, interpolated tricksy characters drawn from myth and fairy-tale into her fiction in order to expose a perceived rift between art and academia; Taylor used the trickster to think about the construction of identity in post-war Britain; Murdoch took models from Shakespeare to create tricksters that helped her explore the ethics of writing fiction; and Spark’s tricksters allowed her to conceptualise truth and lies, and good and evil. Concentrating on four mid-century writers whose works have been seen to vary in genre and style, this thesis demonstrates that a trickster paradigm emerged in mid-twentieth-century British fiction – a period not previously associated with the trickster. Influenced by converging strands of trickery and allusion in art through the early decades of the twentieth century, notable mid-century British writers used outsider characters to probe social and artistic shifts in a landscape fractured by war and to reach for a sense of healing. By identifying such characters as trickster figures, this thesis sheds new light on patterns of subversion, healing and character in mid-century fiction. It explores the particular affinity the trickster had with women’s writing, and illustrates how the trickster was important to twentieth-century concerns surrounding metafiction and the role of the reader.

"You Cannot Chase Two Antelopes at the Same Time" will teach your child(ren) the invaluable lesson of determination and focus. This heart-warming story about the courage and determination of a little boy and his sister who set out to chase two antelopes unsuccessfully, extracts in a vivid illustrative style, the important character trait of determination and focus. The little boy and girl set out to accomplish an impossible task and try different approaches, but to no avail. They finally figured out that in life some pursuits are too delicate to focus on multiple things at the same time. The vivid imagery of antelopes and their incredible sense of swiftness will thrill, entertain and motivate your children.

O presente estudo busca empreender uma observação comparativa de duas formas distintas de expressão, o romance picaresco espanhol e os contos populares franceses, em uma mesma época, os séculos XVI e XVII, identificando o comum a ambos, tanto na origem quanto no produto final de suas criações, e referindo-os aos pressupostos socioculturais de seu momento. Sem pretender uma redução do conto camponês ao modelo da narrativa picaresca ou caracteriza-lo como tal, ao longo do estudo são respeitados os elementos diferenciadores entre um e outro, uma vez que ali se colocam duas formas narrativas peculiares, cada uma delas aqui observada enquanto representação e intermediação das relações de poder. É colocado em destaque o personagem central da novela picaresca naquela Espanha; observa-se sua trajetória, seu ambiente, seus motivos e sua ética singular, para depois reencontrá-lo na França, emergindo nas formações de outra cultura, embora submetido a semelhantes pressões sócio-políticas. O pícaro torna-se mais compreensível em suas metas e em seus expedientes quando observamos a Espanha desde a plenitude da casa dos Áustrias até sua falência que levou à ruína boa parte da nobreza e impediu de maneira drástica os caminhos de ascensão social, consolidando uma cruel estratificação em sua sociedade. Examinando a história francesa em uma época bastante próxima àquela, encontramos a mesma condição de glória e queda do poder do estado, e de seus nobres gerando igual bloqueio das possibilidades ascensionais, impondo, como naquela Espanha, uma profunda diferenciação entre as diversas classes sociais. As narrativas escolhidas foram Lázaro de Tormes, El Buscón, Le garçon qui vole les trésors de l’Ogre e Le chat botté, onde a atitude picaresca se mostra em sua plenitude.
The present study aims to conduct a comparative observation of two distinct forms of expression, the Spanish picaresque novel and the French folk tales, in the same time, the 16th and 17th centuries, identifying the common to both, both in origin and in the final product of their creations, and referring them to the contemporary socio-cultural presuppositions. Without claim a reduction of the peasant tale to picaresque narrative model, or characterized it as such, throughout the study are respected differentiating elements between them, since there arise two peculiar narrative forms, each of them seen as a representation and intermediation of power relations. It highlighted the central character of the picaresque novel in Spain; it is observed his trajectory, his environment, their motivations and his singular ethics, and then meet him again in France, emerging in another culture, although undergoing similar socio-political pressures. The picaro becomes more understandable in their goals and their wits if we look at Spain from the fullness of the House of Austrias period, until its bankruptcy that led to ruin much of the nobility and dramatically blocked the paths of social mobility, consolidating a cruel stratification their society. By examining French history in a time fairly close to that, we found the same condition of glory and decline of State power and their nobles, which generated equal blocking in ascension possibilities, imposing such as in that Spain, a profound differentiation between the various social classes. The chosen narratives were Lázaro de Tormes, El Buscón, Le garçon qui vole les trésors de l'Ogre and Le Chat botté, where the picaresque attitude is shown in its fullness.

This research is motivated by the fact that although researchers and academics worldwide acknowledge that it is very difficult to objectively define and discuss the terms ‘leader’ and ‘indigenous leader’ yet many tend to dismiss offhand such indigenous concepts of leadership as ubuntu as primitive, barbaric and irrelevant to modern institutions without examining them in detail.

Nesta tese realizamos análises morfológicas e socioculturais de contos maravilhosos celtas, que à época de seus registros, encontravam-se em circulação nas tradições orais da Irlanda, Escócia e Ilha de Man. Aqui serão estudadas narrativas de diferentes organizações estruturais, com o objetivo de delimitarmos as principais diferenças formais e de conteúdo veiculados, seja pela presença de temas distintos, explícitos ou implícitos, ou nos modos de abordagem dos mesmos temas. Entretanto, procuramos também salientar as semelhanças mantidas por todas essas formas narrativas, as quais nem sempre são evidentes, principalmente quando relacionadas às funções proppianas e às práticas socioculturais nelas refletidas. A diferença estrutural entre os contos analisados exigiu uma combinação de diretrizes para que obtivéssemos maior precisão nas descrições morfológicas obtidas, assim, empregamos os modelos de Propp (2006), Bremond (2011) e Greimas (COURTÉS, 1979), os quais corroboraram a função de cada elemento, além de complementarem-se mutuamente, a partir de perspectivas diversas. A concepção proppiana torna-se essencial para o tipo de análise sociocultural proposta, ao remeter suas funções aos rituais tribais primais. Contudo, por ser específico aos contos de magia, certas organizações narrativas necessitaram ser delimitadas a partir dos outros dois modelos, de modo a conseguirmos remetê-las, posteriormente, às funções proppianas, ou mesmo a fragmentos delas que, de outro modo, passariam despercebidos. A partir dos resultados das análises morfológicas, partimos para as análises socioculturais, elucidando a origem de seus motivos e as formas de pensamento que engendraram os contos, isolando-os dos elementos regionalmente condicionados. Por último, esclarecemos os resultados obtidos por comparação com o conto de magia, enfatizando os fatores sociais envolvidos na composição das diferentes estruturas apresentadas, identificando suas diferenças e elementos que constituem padrões compartilhados por todos eles. Com isso, esperamos demonstrar a natureza interna desses contos, bem como as peculiaridades das narrativas populares gaélicas. Isso será realizado, nas análises morfológicas, identificando seus constituintes fundamentais, e nas análises socioculturais, com ênfase em seus aspectos míticos e folclóricos, tanto de caráter universal como específicos. O corpus é formado de dez narrativas, originalmente registradas na língua inglesa, uma vez que, à época, a língua gaélica já havia sido extirpada, em grande medida, dessas regiões.
This thesis develops morphological and sociocultural analyses of Celtic folk tales which were part of the oral traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Isle of Man by the time they were registered. We have studied narratives which feature diverse types of structural organizations to determine the main differences between them, considering both their form and contents and the manners they treat the same subjects or different ones, being them explicitly or implicitly expressed. We also intend to evince the similarities of narrative organization, which are not always so obvious, mainly when related to the Proppian functions and the social practices reflected by them. The structural deviances of such tales have demanded the use of three theoretical guidelines in order to provide a precise description of their morphology, which are the Proppian model (2006), the Bremondian model (2011) and the Greimasian model (COURTÉS, 1979), so that the elements are corroborated and complemented by considering different perspectives. The Proppian model is essential regarding the nature of the sociocultural analyses proposed here, related to tribal rituals and myths. However, being the Proppian model specific for the so called magic tales, the description of other kinds of narrative organization must be reached by means of the other two models. After that, we refer their results to the Proppian functions, or at least parts of them, so that they can be found even inside complex situations. From the obtained results, we proceed to the sociocultural analysis, elucidating the origin of motifs and ways of thinking which gave rise to the folk tale themes. Finally, we elucidate the results by means of comparisons to the magic tales, emphasizing the social factors involved in the composition of distinct types of tales, by identifying their differences and also the elements which are shared by all of them as a standard. Thereby, we intend to demonstrate the internal nature of those tales and their peculiarities originated inside the Goidelic culture. This is reached by means of the morphological analyses, where their fundamental elements are identified, and by the sociocultural analyses, where mythical and folkloric elements are emphasized, having them either universal or specific features. All narratives presented were originally registered in English, since the Goidelic language had already been extirpated from most of those regions.

This paper has as objective to search the way how the discourse is built in Brazilian folk tales, in the moment that these tales are used by subjects in their social interactions. During this research, we take popular tales as a mean of revealing identity values, as long as they re carry on, linguistically, the tradition and alive culture. The popular narratives used as sample was heard and copied by Luis da Câmara Cascudo and reunited in the book Contos Tradicionais do Brasil . These narratives appear, firstly, at Portuguese oral modality; because of this, they were submitted to the retextualização process, and put together in the mentioned book. To support our research, we seek in Discourse Analysis theory that allows putting together the social historical context, the production conditions and the ideology that compose the narratives we picked out. This way, the discourse builds and constitutes meanings from historical and cultural context. During this process, we could check folk tales revealing important cultural aspects that demonstrat a possible vision of the society. Following this perspective, it was very important the moment that we can consider them as genre of discourse and to look at how they can be organized. Above of all, we could see polyphonic mechanisms that constitutes this discourse. The objectives intended in this paper were reached, at the same time that our research put on notability the popular culture and showed up how the selecioned tales carry on themselves a truth effect using as tool our language
Essa Dissertação tem como objetivo examinar em contos populares do Brasil o modo como o discurso é construído no momento em que tais narrativas são utilizadas nas interações sociais entre sujeitos. Tomamos, nessa pesquisa, os contos populares como reveladores de valores identitários, na medida em que veiculam, linguisticamente, a tradição e mantém a cultura viva. As narrativas populares utilizadas como amostra foram colhidas por Luís da Câmara Cascudo e reunidos na obra Contos Tradicionais do Brasil . Por terem sua origem na modalidade oral da língua portuguesa, as narrativas passaram pelo processo de retextualização e, em seguida, compiladas na obra supracitada. Para dar conta de nossos objetivos, buscamos subsídios na Análise de Discurso que nos permite aliar contexto histórico-social, as condições de produção e a ideologia sobre a qual se constroem as narrativas que selecionamos. Dessa forma, pelo discurso se constitui e constrói significações em função do contexto histórico- cultural. No percurso de nossa pesquisa, pudemos verificar que os contos populares manifestam aspectos culturais relevantes, que indiciam uma possível visão da sociedade. Nessa perspectiva, foi importante tratá-los como gêneros do discurso e observar em sua organização e mecanismos polifônicos constitutivos desse discurso. Os objetivos pretendidos na pesquisa foram atingidos, na medida em que nossos estudos colocaram em relevância a cultura popular e mostrou como os contos selecionados suscitaram um efeito de verdade materializado em língua

Abstract:
This thesis explores the embodied experiences of the rural population in nineteenth-century France. The prevailing historiography has treated rural bodily culture as a cultural survival swept away by ‘modernisation’ in the nineteenth century. By turning to the lives and words of rural labourers and artisans from the Landes de Gascogne, the thesis questions this account, instead showing ways that popular cultures of the body were flexible traditions, adapted by individuals to meet new needs. It does so through a close focus on the stories, songs, and other oral traditions collected by Félix Arnaudin (1844-1921) in the Grande-Lande between around 1870 and 1914. The thesis focuses on the lives of a few of Arnaudin’s 759 folklore informants, showing both how their bodily experiences were changing during this period, and how songs and stories were creative interventions, designed to shape bodily possibilities from below. The thesis draws attention to the surprising shape of rural experiences of the body, which focused on body parts such as the legs and skin for reasons specific to everyday life, while largely ignoring issues that historians might have assumed would be important, such as religion. It argues that the ordinary men and women who performed stories and sang songs were active agents in constructing their own bodies in response to material conditions of physical illness and disability, as well as a changing environment, changing class relations, or changing sexual norms in the Grande-Lande. The thesis presents an emotional and experiential view of rural bodies with a sensitivity to the different experiences of men and women, young and old, poorer and richer, but emphasizes that the body must be seen in the round, as a unifying concern that links together issues of social class, environmental change, sexual relations, work, disability, and religion.

Abstract:
Die Arbeit befaßt sich mit den Formen des nicht natürlichen Todes und weiteren rechtsmedizinischen Sachverhalten wie Leichenerscheinungen, Scheintod, Identifizierung von Personen und Leichen, Selbstverstümmelungen und Spuren von Tätern und Opfern in den deutschen Volksmärchen. Rechtsmedizinische Zusammenhänge von Ursache und Wirkung werden nach ihrer Gültigkeit im Märchen hinterfragt. Wie werden beispielsweise Gewaltwirkungen auf äußere Erscheinungsbilder betroffener Märchenfiguren, Tötungsgeschehen und Tatwerkzeuge dargestellt? Inwiefern entsprechen Schilderungen der Tatbestände und ihre Bewertung im Märchen auch historischem Rechtsverständnis? Was unterliegt den epischen Gesetzen des Märchens? Für die rechtsmedizinische Fragestellung nach den Verletzungsspuren am Getöteten, dem Tötungsgeschehen und den Tatwerkzeugen sind die Märchen als Quelle des Volkswissens nur begrenzt verwertbar. Zum Beispiel sind keine Wunden, innere Blutungen oder kleinere Verletzungen nach Gewalteinwirkung beschrieben. Es wurden nahezu alle klassischen Todesarten wie Ertrinken, Vergiften, Verbrennen, Verhungern, Erhängen, Erfrieren, Selbsttötung und Tod durch scharfe und stumpfe Gewalt im Märchen vorgefunden und betreffende Textstellen unter Benutzung der "historisch-geographischen Methode" regional verglichen. Zusammenhänge von Ursache und Wirkung konnten jedoch nicht im Sinne einer rechtsmedizinischen Rekonstruktion des zum Tode führenden Geschehens nach heutigen Maßstäben aufgestellt werden. Das Märchen als Volksüberlieferung kennt keinen historisch konkreten Zeitbezug. Mit der zeitlich und regional variierenden Wiedergabe des Erzählstoffes fließen neue Motive und anderes Wissen mit ein. Daraus ergab sich für die Arbeit eine zurückhaltende Aufstellung von Vergleichen des rechtshistorischen Alltags und der geschilderten Märchenwirklichkeit. Der nicht natürliche Tod konnte bei der rechtsmedizinischen Untersuchung nicht unabhängig von seinem Zusammenhang im Märchen betrachtet werden. Er ist im Märchen oft ein Mittel, entsprechend den Moralvorstellungen Gerechtigkeit herzustellen, aber auch die Protagonisten von ihrem positiven Weg abzubringen. Seine sozialisierende Funktion in der Märchengesellschaft kann nicht übersehen werden.
This thesis reports about the types of the non-natural death and further issues of legal medicine in the German folk tales such as the sure signs of dead bodies, appearently dead people, identification of persons and corpses, mutilation of its own and traces of perpetrators and victims. Do forensic correlations between cause and effect appear in the fairy tales? How do fairy tales describe the violent effects to the concerned figures? outward appearance, the killing event and the tools of crime? How does the facts of the cases? description and their valuation in the fairy tales correspond to the historical comprehension of the rights? The folk tales are only of restricted use as a source of general knowledge for the forensic issue of the injury traces on a dead body, of the killing event or of the tools of crime. For example, there are not described any wounds, internal bleedings or smaller injuries after violence. Nearly all classical causes of non-natural death are found in the fairy tales: drowning, freezing to death, hanging, burning to death, poisoning, dying of starvation, suicid and death by sharp and blunt force. There could not be shown any correlations between cause and effect in the sense of a killing event?s forensic reconstruction after today's standards. The folk tales as an oral tradition are not exactly related to a certain historical period. With each new performance a story was influenced by new motivs or knowledge. For that reason the comparison between fairy tales and historical reality of everyday life is very restrained. The non-natural death as a forensic fact can only be interpretated in ist function in the folk tales. By means of the non-natural death the fairy tales? characters are doing justice corresponding to their moral ideas, but positive figures can also be pushed away from their good ways. The non-natural death? socializing function in the fairy tales? society is evident.

The aim of this dissertation is to give some thought to the representations of the Devil as a character in literature within Brazilian oral tradition. In order to discover what elements connected to the actions of this personality either remain the same and/or vary in such representatives, we have applied Propp s function theory, which has been especially developed in Morphology of the marvellous tale, with possible alterations, to a corpus made up of 31 tales taken from eight classical anthologies of our popular culture, as follows: Histórias da avozinha and Histórias da baratinha, by Figueiredo Pimentel, Contos tradicionais do Brasil and Literatura oral no Brasil by Luís da Câmara Cascudo; Estórias do diabo, by Altimar Pimentel; Folclore brasileiro: contos populares do Brasil, by Sílvio Romero; Contos populares brasileiros by Lindolfo Gomes; and Território da danação, by Mário Souto Maior. During this investigation, special attention has been given to the way in which the character concerned carries out his role in the narrative pieces studied, particularly in regard to his role as an antagonist and a false hero: the standards as defined by Propp are followed with regard to functions; such standards suffer radical transgression; or there is an indication of a certain ambivalence between good and evil, normally associated to certain popular representations of popular culture. For this purpose, this work has been divided into three chapters: the first seeks a better understanding of the universe which includes the Devil as a literary character in Brazil, therefore being subdivided into: popular culture; literature from the oral tradition; the myth, the tale and the brief story. The second chapter is dedicated to the methodology adopted, including the identification, within the literary corpus, of the excerpts in which the Devil takes on the role of an antagonist or a false hero, showing such a survey through a series of comparative tables, each of which is dedicated to one of the Propp functions selected for the study considered. The second chapter also tries to discuss and analyse the data collected and presented in the tables, with the reference for this discussion being the work of the Russian formalist. Finally, the third chapter presents the conclusions obtained from these analyses
Esta dissertação tem por finalidade refletir sobre as representações do diabopersonagem na literatura de tradição oral do Brasil. A fim de descobrir que elementos ligados às ações dessa personagem se mantêm e/ou variam em tais representações, aplica-se, com as possíveis adequações, a teoria das funções de Propp, especialmente desenvolvida em Morfologia do conto maravilhoso, a um corpus constituído por 31 contos extraídos de oito antologias clássicas da cultura popular brasileira: Histórias da avozinha e Histórias da baratinha, de Figueiredo Pimentel, Contos tradicionais do Brasil e Literatura oral no Brasil, de Luís da Câmara Cascudo; Estórias do diabo, de Altimar Pimentel; Folclore brasileiro: contos populares do Brasil, de Sílvio Romero; Contos populares brasileiros, de Lindolfo Gomes; e Território da danação, de Mário Souto Maior. No decorrer desta investigação, atenta-se especialmente para o modo como a personagem em questão desempenha seu papel nas narrativas estudadas, especialmente no que toca às funções do antagonista e do falso herói: se segue os padrões definidos por Propp em relação às funções; se transgride radicalmente tais padrões; ou se aponta para certa ambivalência entre bem e mal, geralmente vinculada a certas representações próprias da cultura popular. Para tanto, este trabalho divide-se em três capítulos: o primeiro destina-se à melhor compreensão do universo que abarca o diabopersonagem no Brasil, subdividindo-se assim em: cultura popular; literatura de tradição oral; o mito, o conto e o causo. O segundo capítulo, por sua vez, se dedica à metodologia adotada, qual seja, a identificação, no corpus literário, das passagens em que o diabo assume os papéis de antagonista ou falso herói, demonstrando tal levantamento por meio de tabelas comparativas, cada qual dedicada a uma das funções de Propp selecionadas para o estudo em questão. O segundo capítulo procura ainda discutir e analisar os dados levantados e apresentados nas tabelas, tendo como referencial dessa discussão o trabalho do formalista russo. Finalmente, o terceiro capítulo oferece as conclusões dessas análises

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to shed light upon the construction of identity within the Swedish- Canadian immigrant group during the first half of the 20th century. The most important sources of ethnic and nationalistic influences this study scrutinizes are the homeland Sweden, Swedish-America, Scandinavian-Canada and the Canadian host society. It also examines the interaction with other social identities, such as gender and religion. Theoretically, this dissertation takes its point of departure in Fredrik Barth’s assumptions on cultural boundaries and ethnic grouping, which emphasizes the meeting and confrontation with other groups as a trigger in the development of a new ethnic identity. The study is carried out on three partly interacting levels: the individual, the organizational and the official/ rhetorical level.

On the individual level, the first generation Swedes in Canada was probably as Swedish as they could be concerning identity, culture and social networks. But as it turned out, the shattered Swedish immigration, the vast and often hardly passable Canadian landscape, together with indirect help from the Canadian government, would prevent an extensive establishment of ethnic organizations. The surplus of single Swedish-Canadian men also affected the transference of Swedishness negatively in the change of generations.

The intense dialogue with Swedish America, mostly conducted through the Augustana Synod and the Vasa Order, contributed to a new sense of Swedishness. Both these Swedish- American organizations had “Diaspora ambitions” and they relatively soon established a certain cooperation with the pan-Swedish movement in Sweden. Women played an important social, economical as well practical role in both secular and religious organizational life. Many Swedish-Canadians congregations and organizations would have had no future, if not for the women’s commitment.

Swedish rhetoric on the official level was carried out by men, to men, in a male language and imaginary. In this context the term Swede thus became synonymous with Swedish man. Both outspoken desires from the Swedish homeland and its actual internal development were considered and reformulated in Swedish-Canadian rhetoric. When the nationalistic discourse changed in Sweden, the Swedish-Canadian rhetoric changed in the same direction. Swedes in Canada also responded to ethnic competition, especially from Norwegians, by trying to define how the two related groups differed. Of certain importance was the signals given from the host society. With a general suspicion of foreign elements together with a demand for assimilation, the Canadian government seems to have hastened the integration process of Swedish-Canadians.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate colonization processes and population and agricultural development during the 16th century. The studied geographical area consists of the northern part of the northernmost province of Sweden of that time, Västerbotten. During this period, this part of Sweden consists of four parishes, from the south to the north: Piteå, Luleå, Kalix and Torneå. The area constitutes a bailiwick (county administrative division) of its own, the northern bailiwick of Västerbotten. The geographical area studied in this thesis is today’s County of Norrbotten below the border of Lappmarken and Torneå Municipality in Finland.

By the middle of the 16th century the region is an established and developed agricultural district. The average farm’s acreage is nearly three acres. The differences between the parishes are considerable, however. Besides arable farming and cattle farming, fishing is important.

Studying land colonization, settlements and population in 16th century Sweden means being limited mainly to one kind of source, namely bailiff accounts (fogderäkenskaper). These accounts consist of cadastres (land registers of rent and revenue), registers of other ordinary and extraordinary taxes, and, from the end of 1560s, the tithe registers. This collection of registers constitutes the bailiffs’ accounts of incomes and expenses and is an expression of the increased control exerted by the Crown over production and private wealth in the country.

An important task has been to check the quality of the sources for the study. Quality means in this context up-to-dateness and completeness. An investigation of the sources shows that they were regularly updated. By comparing the different registers the completeness can be examined, i.e. the extent to which they correctly follow the instructions, “undervisningar”.

These circumstances, the up-to-dateness and completeness of the sources, guarantee the possibility of describing, in a correct manner, the real situation in the region regarding the land colonization, settlements and population.

Placing the development in the studied region in a geographical context has been important. Some studies have been performed using the cadastre registers, many of which were included in the Nordic project studying the late medieval desertion of the colonization process in Sweden during the 16th century, Nordiska ödegårdsprojektet.

A feature of the development in Sweden during the 16th century is two periods of growth and a weak or retrograde period in between. A common pattern in the settlement development is a strong growth in 1540s and 1550s. In the late 1560s and during the 1570s the settlements are weakening, stagnating or decreasing. From 1580 and onwards, another growth of farms is established again, to a greater or smaller extent.

The increase in the population is generally considered to be the main cause of the land colonization process in the 1540s and 1550s. The weaker development of the next two decades is related to the Nordic Seven Years’ War (Nordiska sjuårskriget), with its great negative impact on many areas in Sweden. After a fast recovery the colonization process starts again and is in progress for the rest of the century.

A closer study of the situation in two parishes in Norrbotten shows that the two periods of growth have different qualities. The first period, during the 1540s and 1550s, illustrates traditional progress through colonization. The growth consists of farm divisions and the establishment of new farms. The development of new farms follows a certain pattern. By clearing land the farm is established, a first registration is made, and the farm obtains tax release for a few years and is finally entered in the land register (jordeboken). During this period the agricultural sector is growing when both new and already established farms contribute by land reclamation.

During the second period of growth the farm division process continues and new farms are established. However, this time the new farms are generally of another kind. They are very small and are established mainly by detaching parts or buying land from older farms, not by land reclamation. The agricultural sector is not growing, with some exceptions, during this period. Furthermore, the population increase during the earlier period, which seemed to “force” the agricultural sector to grow, is not effective this time. Instead, during this second period, a population decrease takes place.

The general picture of the settlement development in Sweden during the 16th century is growth. The differences between regions concern the strength of the total growth of farms during this century. In Norrbotten the development is weaker than in most other regions in Sweden. The western part of the country seems on the whole to have a stronger growth than the eastern and northern part. It should be observed, however, that areas situated very close to each other can show quite a different progress.

Abstract:
У даній роботі за допомогою методів аналізу і синтезу, розглядаються загальні характеристики англійських казок як окремого літературного жанру та виявлено ключові особливості, які відрізняють авторську казку від народної. Досліджено лінгвістичні особливості англійської казки, а саме використання пареміологічних одиниць у творах даного жанру. Проведено аналіз композиційної структури англійських казок на прикладі анімалістичної казки. Також розглядаються граматичні особливості англійських казок: роль займенників та вживання артиклів у казках. Досліджено стилістичні особливості англійських казок: використання каламбурів, особливості вживання авторських неологізмів, кольоропозначення та стилістичних прийомів на прикладі англійських казок. Теоретичне значення: роботи полягає у тому, що англійські казки є популярними у всьому світі, а тому відіграють важливу роль у вихованні не лише англійців, а й читачів інших національностей, а тому інтерес до вивчення структурно-семантичних та комунікативних особливостей англійських казок зростає з кожним роком. Розглянуто загальні характеристики англійської казки, досліджено науково-дослідні та дидактичні джерела з теми використання казок при вивченні граматики на уроках іноземної мови. Вивчено методичні особливості роботи з казковим матеріалом при навчанні англійської граматики та розроблено методичні вказівки стосовно граматичної компетенції учнів. Дану роботу можна використовувати для подальших лінгвістичних досліджень структурно-семантичних та комунікативних особливостей англійської казки для більш детального їх вивчення та розробки методичної і довідкової літератури.
Theoretical meaning: English fairy-tales are popular all over the world, and therefore play an important role in the education of not only English but also readers of other nationalities. That is why the interest in studying of structurally-semantic and communicative features of English fairy tales increases year by year. In this paper, using the methods of analysis and synthesis, the general characteristics of English fairy tales as a separate literary genre are considered and the key features, that distinguish the author’s fairy-tale from the folk tale are revealed. The linguistic features of the English fairy tale: the use of paremiological units in the works of the given genre, were explored. An analysis of the English fairy-tales compositional structure is conducted, taking into consideration an animated fairy tale as the example. The grammatical features of English fairy tales are also considered: the role of pronouns and the use of articles in fairy tales. The stylistic features of English fairy tales: the use of puns, the peculiarities of the authorial neologisms usage, color definition and stylistic techniques on the example of English fairy tales are studied. The general characteristics of the English fairy tale are discussed, scientific research and didactic sources concerning the usage of fairy tales at foreign language lessons are explored. The methodological features of work with fairy-tale material during the study of English grammar have been studied, and methodological instructions regarding the grammatical students’ competence have been developed. This work can be used for further linguistic studies of the structurally-semantic and communicative features of English fairy-tale for a more detailed learning and development of methodological and reference literature.

Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour objectif de montrer un des impacts de l'esclavage sur l'histoire des peuples africains et leurs descendants. Comment ce fait a pu façonner la vie spirituelle des diasporas des Amériques, et en particulier du Brésil, et de quelle manière ces différentes populations ont su dialoguer entre elles, mais aussi s'approprier et transformer les valeurs culturelles des peuples qui les ont soumis. Tout en s'adaptant à ces nouveaux contextes, elles ont préservé leurs mémoires spirituelles en créant des intermédiaires cultuels comme l'entité du Seja Hundê, Candomblé jeje de Bahia, le vudum Lebabimibome, qui fusionne le singe et le Messager des religions ancestrales fon et yorouba Eshu-Legba. Par l'adoption de cette nouvelle manifestation religieuse, elles ont également su recycler l'image utilisée par les colonisateurs à l'encontre des Africains, associé à des singes et décrit comme un chaînon manquant entre l'homme et l'animal, ainsi des individus ont pu échapper à l'esclavage en refusant l'usage de parole. Aussi, par la ruse des singes des contes populaires, l'histoire sociale des esclaves et des libres subalternes vivant dans cette société est racontée ce qui constitue une archive de l'époque
This dissertation aims to show how the enslavement of African peoples on the African continent and in the Americas has deeply influenced the spiritual and intellectual lives of Africans both on the continent and in the diaspora, particularly in Brazil. African peoples learned from the beginning how to dialogue with other Africans ethnicities and how to assess the cultural values being imposed by those people who dominated them. They could transform those values to their needs. Also they managed to safeguard their ancestral spiritual heritage, creating a vudu, known as Lebabimibome, merged with the Messenger of the Fon/Yoruba religion Eshu-Legba, and with a monkey. In this way they wittingly illustrated the European idea that Africans were the missing link between men and monkeys. Some Africans strategically accepted this image and used it to escape slavery by refusing to use spoken words in their relationship with Europeans and Native Americans. By using the monkey's guile, as described in these animal tales, the oral tradition could integrate the hermeneutical aspect of Eshu-Legba to translate the social history of the enslaved and subaltern peoples within these fables which function as archives in Brazilian society
O objetivo desta tese é de demonstrar um dos impactos da escravidão na historia de povos africanos e afrodescendentes, de como este fato marcou a vida espiritual e intelectual das diasporas nas Américas, e da brasileira em especial Também, teatamos mostrar como estas populações souberam dialogar primeiramente entre elas e em seguida apropriar-se e transformar e transformar os valores culturais dos povos que os subjugaram Ao mesmo tempo que adaptavam aos novos contextos, estas populações souberam preservar suas memorias espirituais e conseguiram criar intermediarios sagrados como aquele do Seja Hundê, Candomblé Jeje da Bahia, o vudum Lebabimibome, hibrido do Messageiro das religiões ancestrais fon e ioruba Exu-Legba e de um macaco Pela adoção desta nova manifestação religiosa, esses povos souberam estrategicament reciclar ao mesmo tempo uma velha idéia construida pelos colonizadores sobre os africanos, que os associavam aos macacos, que eles eram o elo que ligava o homem ao animal, mas para poder escapar à escravidão certos grupos africanos utilizaram a mimica como meio de comunicação com os estrangeiros; por outro lado pelas artimanhas dos macacos dos contos populares, a vida social dos escravos e dos livres subalternos desta sociedade é também contada, transformando-os em arquivos de suas épocas

Також розглядаються граматичні особливості англійських казок: роль займенників та вживання артиклів у казках. Досліджено стилістичні особливості англійських казок: використання каламбурів, особливості вживання авторських неологізмів, кольоропозначення та стилістичних прийомів на прикладі англійських казок. Розглянуто загальні характеристики англійської казки, досліджено науково-дослідні та дидактичні джерела з теми використання казок при вивченні граматики на уроках іноземної мови. Вивчено методичні особливості роботи з казковим матеріалом при навчанні англійської граматики та розроблено методичні вказівки стосовно граматичної компетенції учнів. Дану роботу можна використовувати для подальших лінгвістичних досліджень структурно-семантичних та комунікативних особливостей англійської казки для більш детального їх вивчення та розробки методичної і довідкової літератури.
In this paper, using the methods of analysis and synthesis, the general characteristics of English fairy tales as a separate literary genre are considered and the key features, that distinguish the author’s fairy-tale from the folk tale are revealed. The linguistic features of the English fairy tale: the use of paremiological units in the works of the given genre, were explored. An analysis of the English fairy-tales compositional structure is conducted, taking into consideration an animated fairy tale as the example. The grammatical features of English fairy tales are also considered: the role of pronouns and the use of articles in fairy tales. The stylistic features of English fairy tales: the use of puns, the peculiarities of the authorial neologisms usage, color definition and stylistic techniques on the example of English fairy tales are studied. The general characteristics of the English fairy tale are discussed, scientific research and didactic sources concerning the usage of fairy tales at foreign language lessons are explored. The methodological features of work with fairy-tale material during the study of English grammar have been studied, and methodological instructions regarding the grammatical students’ competence have been developed. This work can be used for further linguistic studies of the structurally-semantic and communicative features of English fairy-tale for a more detailed learning and development of methodological and reference literature.

Popular narratives are rich in elements of the natural world in which underlie unconscious contents. This survey brought a reflection over the images of the collective unconscious in the relations of intersubjectivity found in folktales from the Brazilian Northeast. This concern came from the fact that the human being is not only seen as a biological structure, but also as social and psychic structure. Under this view, we sought for more satisfactory positions on the significance of folktales. We started from the assumption that underlying the discourse of the folktale, there are images of the collective unconscious, capable of describing the relations of intersubjectivity, meaning that intersubjectivity as a form of constitution of subjectivity emerges under the subject's performance in relation to otherness and the archetypes of the collective unconscious manifested symbolically through myths, magic and fantasy. The research was conducted from the general objective that was proposed to examine, under the interface between Semiotics and Psychoanalysis that is present in images of the collective unconscious intersubjective relations of enunciation and utterance that characterize the northeastern folktale, in order to perceive aspects identify the subjects, the relations among them and between subjects and between subject and object of their value. The theoretical basis focused Greimasian semiotics explaining the semiotic function, from a generative trajectory composed of three levels: narrativization, speechlization and deep semantics. The analysis was complemented by this tensive semiotics of Fontanille which accounts for inflections of axiological values from an intense and extensive grading. It was discussed too, the theories of the unconscious, from Freud and Jung who, in addition to a personal unconscious, proposes a collective. Then we tried to see how "self" is constructed, following the understanding that subjectivity is constituted as otherness. To situate the corpus, we discussed about the literature of the folktale, especially considering the origin, structure and identification according to Nascimento s Catalogue of Brazilian Folktale. This research consisted of two hundred and eighty thousand of which were selected among those nine versions from the Northeast Brazil. The stories were coded by the initial graphemes of words in the title: As mil e uma noites (MN), O macaco e o rabo (MR), A Moura Torta (MT); Seu Nino (SN) As perguntas de Dom Lobo (PDL); Boi Leição (BL) and A Aranha Caranguejeira e o Quibungo (ACQ), O macaco e a cabaça (MC), A menina dos brincos de ouro (MBO). Before the analysis, it was built a synopsis and segmentation. In narrative structure, one identified the semiotic subject, searching for their value objects, sometimes aided by an adjuvant, sometimes hampered by an opponent. In the discourse structure, we analyzed their interpersonal relations of space and time, enunciation and statement, in which the symbolic richness of the stories revealed the presence of the major archetypes of the collective unconscious: the animus, the anima, the shadow, the persona and Self, who spoke on different images and contributed to the perception of the various issues. In the fundamental structure, it was elucidated the opposition of good versus evil as the matrix pole for the emergence of other oppositions.
As narrativas populares são ricas em elementos do mundo natural nos quais subjazem conteúdos inconscientes. A pesquisa intentou uma reflexão em torno das imagens do inconsciente coletivo nas relações de intersubjetividade presentes nos contos populares nordestinos. Tal inquietude partiu da compreensão de que o ser humano não se constitui apenas como estrutura biológica, mas também como estrutura psíquica e social. Sob essa ótica, buscaram-se posições mais satisfatórias sobre a significação dos contos populares. Partiu-se da hipótese de que, subjacentes ao discurso do conto popular, encontram-se imagens do inconsciente coletivo, capazes de caracterizar as relações de intersubjetividade, entendendo que a intersubjetividade, como forma de constituição da subjetividade, emerge sob a performance dos sujeitos em relação à alteridade e que os arquétipos do inconsciente coletivo se manifestam, simbolicamente, através de mitos, magias e fantasias. A pesquisa foi direcionada a partir do objetivo geral que propôs analisar, sob a interface Semiótica e Psicanálise, imagens do inconsciente coletivo presentes nas relações intersubjetivas de enunciação e de enunciado que caracterizam o conto popular nordestino, a fim de perceber aspectos que identificam os sujeitos, as relações entre eles e entre o sujeito e seu objeto de valor. A fundamentação teórica privilegiou a semiótica greimasiana que explica a função semiótica, partindo de um percurso gerativo composto de três níveis: narrativização, discursivização e semântica profunda. A análise desta foi complementada pela semiótica tensiva de Fontanille que responde pelas inflexões dos valores axiológicos a partir de uma gradação intensa e extensa. Discutiram-se, ainda, as teorias do inconsciente, a partir de Freud e de Jung que, além de um inconsciente pessoal, propõe um coletivo. Em seguida abordou-se como o eu se constrói, seguindo o entendimento de que a subjetividade é constituída a partir da alteridade. Para situar o corpus, discorreu-se sobre a literatura do conto popular, considerando principalmente a origem, a estrutura e a identificação conforme o Catálogo do Conto Popular Brasileiro de Nascimento. O universo da pesquisa constou de duzentos e oitenta contos dos quais foram selecionadas nove versões entre aquelas levantadas no Nordeste brasileiro. Os contos foram codificados pelos grafemas iniciais dos vocábulos do título: As mil e uma noites (MN); O Macaco e o Rabo (MR); A Moura Torta (MT); Seu Nino (SN); As perguntas de Dom Lobo (PDL); O Boi Leição (BL); A aranha Caranguejeira e o Quibungo (ACQ); O macaco e a cabaça (MC); A menina dos brincos de ouro (MBO). Antes da análise, foram construídas uma sinopse e a segmentação. Na estrutura narrativa, identificaram-se os sujeitos semióticos, realizando um percurso em busca do seu objeto de valor, ora ajudado por um adjuvante, ora prejudicado por um oponente. Na estrutura discursiva, foram analisadas as relações intersubjetivas de espaço e de tempo, de enunciação e de enunciado, em que a riqueza simbólica dos contos revelou a presença dos principais arquétipos do inconsciente coletivo: o animus, a anima, a sombra, a persona e o Self, que se manifestaram sob diferentes imagens e contribuíram para a percepção dos vários temas. Na estrutura fundamental, elucidou-se a oposição bem versus mal como polo matriz para a emergência de outras oposições.

Pedagogic folk-tale therapy at the lessons of informal education Summary One of he most urgent problem in the Lithuanian contemporary educational, basing itself on the humanist education principles, is the psychological climate at school, influencing pupils’ motivation to state of pupil. Supplementary education classes could have a large influence on the improvement of psychological climate. ,,The Supplementary Education Concept” is a list of the possibilities, grouped ant called functions, including: cognitive, communication, pragmatic and self-reakiztion. The mentioned concept does not include the innovative function of supplementary education, used to preserve emotional health and to improve the emotional state of a child. In essence this function is ,,social treatment” by art, also known as art therapy. ,, The Supplementary Education Concept” addresses the problems, arising in the course of after-class activity in a mainstream school. This is related to poor search for new working forms and methods, forgotten training and insufficient requalification tasks, and too little attention paid to the children’s socialization process, etc. We studied the documents, regulating supplementary education, articles of researchers and teachers on this work and formulated the problem for investigation, namely: too little attention is paid to the important issue for pupil’s socialization and creativity-planning, and organizing of systematical recreational work, used to eliminate...

Abstract:
La thèse présente se propose de reconsidérer le cliché narratif des contes populaires, celui de la lutte permanente entre le Bien et le Mal, puisque, après l'analyse du fond préchrétien, caché derrière la structure superficielle de la narration, la véritable raison d'être des figures mythiques révèle un monde qui n'est pas l'antithèse, mais un monde de l'ambivalence. Cela conduit à l'impossibilité de déterminer définitivement la nature des symboles et des images qui se développent dans les contes de fées, mais également à la possibilité de créer une autre grille de lecture des contes de fées. L'analyse commence par l'identification du substrat païen de la figure mythique du zmeu des contes populaire roumains, dans une approche comparative, a l'aide des instruments modernes de l'imaginaire.La figure du zmeu est intégrée dasn une système mythique originaire où sont projetés deux ordres du sacré: une ordre traditionnel qui protege les valeurs sacrées initiales du monde et une ordre innovatrice qui change le sens primordial de l'univers du sacré. Entre ces deux ordres, la figure du zmeu, comme représentant le monde ancien, entre en conflit avec la figure du héros sauveur, représentant le nouveau monde.De ce conflit, le zmeu est un figure vaincue par les mécanismes de l'histoire
The present thesis proposes to reconsider the narrative cliche narrative of the folk tales, that of the constant struggle between good and evil, after the analysis of pre-Christian background, hidden behind the superficial structure of the narrative, the real reason for be mythical figures reveals a world that is not the antithesis, but a world of ambivalence. This leads to the inability to determine definitively the nature of symbols and images that grow in fairy tales, but also the ability to create another way of reading fairy tales. The analysis begins by identifying the substrate of the pagan mythical figure of the Romanian folk tales zmeu in a comparative approach, with the help of modern instruments of the imagination. The figure of Zmeu is integrated in a mythical origin where are projected two orders of the sacred: a traditional order that protects the sacred values ​​of the world and an initial order innovation that changes the meaning of the primordial world of the sacred. Between these two orders, the figure of zmeu, as representing the ancient world, conflicts with the figure of the warrior who, representing the new monde.In this conflict, the figure of zmeu is defeated by the mechanisms of history

From a reading project, whose focus was the discursive genre folk tale, this research aims to analyze how the didactic collection of Portuguese, adopted by the school where the researcher works at(Emef Chico Mendes) collection which attends basic education II and was approved by the ProgramaNacional doLivroDidático2011(PNLD) intends to teach reflective reading of a genre that was born in the ancient oral cultures, invented and reinvented throughout the centuries: the folk tale.The research is based on the concepts of concrete statement e speech genre, along with Bakhtin Circle s conceptions.Our research object is the collection Tudo é linguagem(2010), adopted by Emef Chico Mendes School and this was a primary factor for our choice. In order to understand this research object, we used the following methodology: 1) we ve studied theProgramaNacional do LivroDidático (PNLD) and verified how the does the dialogue among the Program and the ParâmetrosCurricularesNacionais (PCN) take place; 2) we ve analyzed the collection s Manual do professorso we could get to the analysis of all reading and interpretation activities from the collections units that presented the folk tale genre in the textbook, designed for the sixth graders, the very same target students from the reading project the bottom line for this research.This methodological step was important so we could face if there was a discrepancy between the reading and interpretation activitiesand the folktale-genre-related activities from textbook s unit, for this specific genre is the main interest of the present research. The third methodological step was to analyze the textbook s activities regarding the folktale genre in order to check if they were in accordance with the work done in the Reading Project. The research is justified by the possibility of verifying how does the dialogue between PNLD guidelines and the Manual do professor occur, as far as they are concerned in providing the major learning of reading skills in basic school context. Hence, it s about a piece of work that aims to contribute to the research on Applied Linguistics field. The analysis shows that the collection has the goal of educating proficientreaders and it is guided by the speech genres. It presents, however, a single didacticalunit in its whole content that focused the folk tale genre, leading to activities that,as far as reading and interpretation skills are concerned, present a very low level of discussion and required in fact superficial tasks from the students.Therefore, we believe that this way there cannot be independent readers. There is only their dressage, giving no chance for them to reflect over what they ve read
Partindo de um projeto de leitura, cujo foco foi o gênero discursivo conto popular, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar como a coleção didática de língua portuguesa, adotada pela escola que a pesquisadora trabalha (Emef Chico Mendes), destinada ao ensino fundamental II e aprovada no Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) 2011, propõe-se a ensinar a leitura reflexiva do texto que nasceu em culturas orais, criadas, recriadas e preservadas ao longo do tempo: o conto popular. A pesquisa se fundamenta nos conceitos de enunciado concreto e gênero do discurso, conforme as concepções do Círculo de Bakhtin. A obra que compõe nosso objeto de estudo é a coleção Tudo é linguagem (2010), coleção adotada na Emef Chico Mendes, e esse foi o fator primordial para essa escolha. Para compreendermos esse objeto de estudo, partimos para a seguinte metodologia: 1) estudamos o Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) e verificamos como ocorre o diálogo entre esse Programa e os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN); 2) analisamos o Manual do professor da obra, para então chegarmos à análise de todas as atividades de interpretação de leitura das unidades que trabalham com o gênero conto, presentes no livro voltado aos alunos do 6º ano, mesmo público-alvo do projeto de leitura, ponto de partida para esta pesquisa. Esse passo metodológico foi importante para constatarmos se havia discrepância na constituição das atividades de interpretação, no que diz respeito às atividades da unidade focada no gênero discursivo, que é interesse desta pesquisa, o conto popular. O terceiro passo da metodologia foi adentrar, com propriedade, na análise das atividades do conto popular em consonância com o que foi trabalhado no projeto de leitura. Este trabalho se justifica pela possibilidade de verificar de que forma ocorre o diálogo entre a proposta do PNLD e do Manual do professor da coleção didática, referente à proposição de ensino de uma leitura ampla e como tais prescrições se consolidam nas atividades didáticas. Trata-se, portanto, de um trabalho que contribuirá para as pesquisas na área da Linguística Aplicada. A análise demonstra que a coleção tem por objetivo formar leitores proficientes e se norteia pelos gêneros do discurso. Apresenta, no entanto, uma única unidade didática que foca o conto popular e propõe atividades que atuam de forma superficial quanto à interpretação dos discursos que compõem os enunciados. Com essa proposta didática, não é possível formar leitores autônomos. Há apenas o adestramento de pseudoleitores, sem possibilidade de que estes reflitam sobre o que leem

Abstract:
Le but de ce mémoire est d’analyser deux oeuvres de Marguerite Duras : L’Amant et La Pluie d’été. L’étude est effectuée avec l’aide des éléments d’un genre littéraire précis : le fantastique. Ce mémoire examine les conditions pour qu’une oeuvre puisse appartenir à ce genre littéraire ; il en liste les critères, et étudie comment ces derniers sont en partie applicables à ces deux oeuvres. Le mémoire examine les prérequis pour qu’une oeuvre soit considérée comme fantastique, ainsi que les éléments qui placent une oeuvre à la limite de divers genres, tels que le conte, le merveilleux ou encore le réalisme magique. Une analyse des stratégies narratives employées pour persuader le lecteur à hésiter entre le réel et l’irréel est ici appliquée à L’Amant et La Pluie d’été, ainsi qu’une mise en avant des éléments qui peuvent faire entrer ces oeuvres dans la catégorie du fantastique. Les deux oeuvres sont ensuite étudiées séparément. Des personnages sont analysés, ainsi que les lieux, le temps et les actions. La technique narrative, avec la frontière floue entre rêve, retours en arrière et souvenirs, participe du genre fantastique. Les personnages phares, ainsi que des objets classiques du registre du fantastique, peuvent participer eux aussi de cette classification. Bien que les deux oeuvres ne soient pas explicitement classifiées par l’auteur comme appartenant au genre fantastique, il en émane une certaine atmosphère qui permet de mettre en avant des éléments qui contribuent au genre étudié, mais aussi au mode merveilleux, du réalisme merveilleux ou encore du conte.
The aim of this study is to analyze two works by Marguerite Duras: The lover and Summer rain. The study is carried out using elements of a specific literary genre: the fantastic (le fantastique). This study presents the elements needed for a work to belong to this literary genre; it lists the criteria, and studies how they partially are applicable to these two works. The conditions for a work to be considered fantastic, as well as the elements that place a work at the border of various genres, such as the folk tale, the marvelous (le merveilleux) or even the magic realism. This text presents an analysis of the narrative strategies, showing how the reader is led to doubt what is real and what is not. This study investigates The lover and Summer rain. It also highlights the elements that classify a book in the fantastic category. The two works are then studied separately. The characters are analyzed, as well as the setting, the time and the plot. The narrative technique, with the blurry borders between dreams, flashbacks and memories, belongs to the fantastic genre (le fantastique). The most important fictional4characters, as well as classic objects, can also contribute to the classification of the texts in the fantastic genre. Although the two works are not precisely classified by the author as belonging to the fantastic genre, a certain atmosphere created by Duras makes it possible to highlight elements that contribute to the genre studied, but also to the folk tale or the magic realism.

Abstract:
Folklore plays an important role in studying social development, socioeconomics, customs and habits. Because language is a special level of vocabulary, studying folklore and language of fairy tale is crucial for understanding social development. Compared with other types of folk literature and art, fairy tales are the most popular and most extensive genre, which contains rich ideas accumulated by people over the centuries. Therefore, folklore and fairy tales are the basis for studying national psychology and personal characteristics.
В изучении развития общества, его экономики и обычаев, важное место занимает изучение фольклора, язык которого представляет собой особый пласт лексики, поэтому изучение языка фольклора и сказок. Имеет большое значение в понимании развития общества. По сравнению с другими видами фольклора, волшебная сказка является самым популярным и распространенным жанром, в котором содержатся богатые идеи, мысли, которые народ накопил в течение веков. Поэтому фольклор и сказки являются основой изучения национальной психологии и личностных характеристик.

This work shows, through analysis of four "versions" of an oral and written of Maximiano da Matta Teixeira, collected tale A pedra arrependida . It was observed some substantial aspects in these oral narratives told in the city of Natividade - TO which changed them from the text written. It is an attempt to show the importance of preserving them. In the aspects analyzed can be evidenced a lot of modes of thought present in oral histories, for example, if it is more aggregative than subordinate and more and less redundant etc. It was described the procedures of storytellers in relation to oral and written narrative construction, based in a conception relation with theory of literature as Walter Ong (1986, 1998), Paul Zumthor (1993), Luis da Camara Cascudo (1967, 1984), André Jolles (1930), Walter Benjamin (1994), Ecléa Bosi (1994), among others. Before that, it was presented views on popular culture around the world and Brazil, showing out the first ways traveled to construct a national identity and the question of national and popular, especially for studies investigating the oral tradition and culture and writing. The point of analysis was an investigation into the Natividade, a city of southeastern state of Tocantins, with a view to a critique of the cultural productions of our people. For this approach, we use sources like Alfredo Bosi (1975, 1987, 1992), Peter Burke (1989), Marilena Chauí (1986, 2000), Nestor Garcia Caclini (2003), Mikhail Bakhtin (1997, 2002) and Roger Chartier (1995).

Os aspectos avaliados evidenciam os modos de pensamento presentes nas narrativas orais, por exemplo, se são mais agregativas que subordinativas, mais ou menos redundante etc. Descrevemos ainda os procedimentos dos contadores de histórias em relação à construção narrativa oral e escrita, tendo como pano de fundo uma concepção teórico-literária baseada em Walter Ong (1986, 1998), Paul Zumthor (1993), Luis da Camara Cascudo (1967, 1984), André Jolles (1930), Walter Benjamin (1994), Ecléa Bosi (1994), entre outros. Antes disso, apresentamos pontos de vista sobre a cultura popular no mundo e no Brasil, apontando as primeiras trilhas percorridas para a construção de uma identidade nacional e a questão do nacional e do popular, com destaque para os estudos que investigam a tradição e a cultura oral e escrita. O ponto de análise foi uma investigação em Natividade, cidade da região sudeste do Estado do Tocantins, com vistas a uma crítica das produções culturais de nosso povo.

Abstract:
Dr. Eleine Mad är Madeleine Jacobsssons talesperson för dom vetenskapliga och paranormala upptäckter som uppstår i hennes världar. Hon beskriver innehåll, teknik och estetik utifrån ett kategoriseringssytem där konsten delas upp som olika typer av komponenter och därefter avkodas dessa allteftersom. För att förstå intuitionens inblandning i arbetsprocessen omförvandlas den till tre separata roller av en Sökare, Samlare och Myntare. Med rollerna försöker jag beskriva på vilka sätt som intuitionen är till gagn eller av förödelse för det konstnärliga arbetet. Sagan om M handlar om en grodlik karaktär, Delop, som lämnar sin hemplanet för att uppsöka andra världar. I sitt sökande hittar Delop ett folkslag vars syn och levnadssätt skiljer sig från hennes erfarenheter av “verkligheten” såsom hon lärt sig att överleva i den.
Dr. Eleine Mad is Madeleine Jacobsson's spokesperson for the scientific and paranormal discoveries that arise in her worlds. She describes content, tecniques and aesthetics based on a categorization system where art is divided into different types of components and then decoded as they go. To understand the intuition's involvement in the work process, it is transformed into three separate roles by a Seeker, Collector and a Myntare(In swedish language the one who is a "myntare" -is verbally declaring a concept or term). With these roles I try to describe in what ways intuition is beneficial or devastating to the artistic work. The story of M is about a frog-like character, Delop, who leaves the home planet to seek out other worlds. In her search, Delop finds a world whose views and lifestyles differ from her experiences of "reality" as she learned to survive in it.

Folk fairy tales are usually stories that are spread in the folk legend. Their origins sprang from primitive societies as a kind of group creation. They often integrate the living style, emotion/thinking and social consciousness at that period as well as reflect the life and experiences of previous generations. Its refined language and exaggerated and symbolic technigues are always repeated in groups of three. By telling stories from generation to generation, their records and memories were safe and would not be forgotten.

Abstract:
This study investigates the responses of contemporary South African, Grade one children to threshold experiences in Grimm fairy tales and African Zulu folk tales. Thresholds involve an exciting or challenging experience, or a transformation in stories. Three stories from each genre were read over six sessions, to ten diverse black and white children, from one school. The children’s enjoyment was assessed, with focus on their backgrounds and previous knowledge, to help find beneficial reading for them. Results suggested that while gender of characters and story origins did not seem important, story length, humour, entertainment and educational ability, as well as personal involvement, were useful. The study supported the notion that stories are generally universal and could help bridge our cultural divide. Reader-Response theory was used and its principles helped to structure questions for the interviews, and to analyse data. Hopefully, the findings will help to select appropriate texts for all children beginning school in present-day South Africa.
