Making up a story orally can sometimes be more powerful than reading out loud from a book. Claire Hewson suggests ways to improvise on a classic fairy story and encourage children to create and tell their own exciting narratives.

Wicken, William C. (William Craig). "Encounters with tall sails and tall tales : Mi'kmaq society, 1500-1760." Thesis, McGill University, 1994. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=28551.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the history of the Mi'kmaq people inhabiting Kmitkinag (Nova Scotia) and Unimaki (Cape Breton Island) from before contact to 1760. While contact precipitated change in Mi'kmaq society, the process was gradual, the result of the particular historical circumstances in which interactions between the two societies evolved. In the late seventeenth century, the Mi'kmaq established an alliance with the French Crown, made possible by previous social and economic relationships between Mi'kmaq families and French traders, fishermen and settlers. As European settlement increased and imperial rivalry in North America intensified in the eighteenth century, tensions emerged in the alliance, revealing the cultural differences between the Mi'kmaq and France's subjects. The thesis demonstrates that economic and political factors were more important than national identity in influencing the texture of Mi'kmaq-European relations.

Full text
Abstract:
Historical conditions of colonialism, and more recently, the emergence of a post-colonial state and urbanization, have brought about rapid socio-cultural change in the Solomon Islands, characterized by heterogeneity and the influx of new cultural products. Throughout this process, notions of tradition have emerged, iterated largely through the multivocal category of kastom which is fundamentally construed in opposition to notions of Christianity and modernization. This thesis examines how these changes have affected stories, specifically a group of narratives called "kastom stories," told by students in the urban setting, and how these narratives have become a space for tradition to be stated and created. Notions of genre are explored to discover how such an amalgam of stories as that of the kastom stories regarded here could be considered as a group. I examine story structures to understand how elements from diverse sources could become integrated to the stories, and look at transformations which, in distanciating the stories from their original socio-cultural context of production, serve to recontextualize them in their present socio-cultural setting.

Full text
Abstract:
Includes 2 previously published journal articles by the author: Women in architecture: a personal reflection ; and, "Half the sky, but no room of her own", as appendices. Includes bibliographical references (p. 233-251) An examination of some texts influential in the discourse of Australian architecture in the twentieth century. Explores from a feminist standpoint the gendered nature of discourse in contemporary Western architecture from an Australian perspective. The starting point for the thesis was an examination of Australian architectual discourse in search of some explanation for the continuing low numbers of women practitioners in Australia. Hypothesizes that contemporary Western architecture is imbued with a pervasive and dominant masculinity and that this is deeply imbedded in its discursive constructions: the body housed by architecture is assume to be male, the mind which produces architecture is assumed to be masculine. Given the cultural location of Australian architecture as a marginal participant in the wider arena of contemporary Western / international discourses, focuses on writing about two iconic figues in Western architecture; Le Corbusier, of international reknown; and, Glenn Murcutt, of predominantly local significance.

Abstract:
In making the point that no story is complete, O'Hagan undermines to varying degrees several dominant and interconnected Western ideologies: idealism, Christianity, patriarchy, class and capitalism. He also shows how a borrowed indigenous myth can be adapted to immigrant needs in a way that will distinguish Canadian novels from others.

Abstract:
Set in mythical Humble County, Georgia, Days of the Endless Corvette tells the story of Earl Mulvaney, a high-school dropout and auto mechanic. Earl loves Ellen, the brainy and beautiful girl next door, who unfortunately must marry Troy, the star of the high school football team. Throughout the book Earl labors on his “Endless Corvette,” a project as impossible as trying to build a perpetual motion machine. Earl has noticed that each time he takes something apart and rebuilds it, there are leftover parts. He reasons that by disassembling and reassembling his boss’s ’59 Corvette, and saving the leftover pieces each time, eventually he will have enough parts to build an entire car, leaving the original behind. The novel ends with the suggestion that perhaps Earl has succeeded at his project, which stands as a metaphor not only for Earl’s hopeless love, but other searches for answers to life’s perplexities.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the modern North Russian fairy tale tradition. My colleagues and I have many years of field experience in the villages of the Mezen River basin led to the need to find justification for other new forms of fixation and publication of fairy tales. We understand by a fairy tale, first of all, a speech work that occupies a special position in the situation of communication between the storyteller and his listeners, which turn out to be, including folklorists. Interviews in which our villagers mention fairy tales can be divided into two types: interviews-memories of how they themselves listened to fairy tales (most often when they were children); interviews in which the interlocutors explain how they themselves told/tell fairy tales to their children or grandchildren; finally, interviews, which are accompanied by the performance of a fairy tale to us, folklorists. For a very long time, the first two types of interviews were not the focus of research interest. Folklorists were interested in fairy tales addressed to themselves or told in their presence. Refs 16.

Full text
Abstract:
: This paper is aimed at analysing the functions of names in Romanian and foreign fairy tales by highlighting similarities and differences of names in various cultures (English, French, German and Romanian). In comparison with names in real life, proper names in literature feature more functions than that of identification, as such names are varied from a semantic and structural perspective. The relationship between a name and its bearer is motivated; thus, literary names are generally more innovative and their structure is much more complicated than in the case of names in real life. One finds it impossible to talk about a set of stable functions of names in fairy-tale discourse, since it is impossible for one to separate their hierarchy from the text in which they appear. The functions of proper names in fairy tales are inferred by means of analogy based on the more general functions of verbal communication defined by Jakobson (1964: 88–94). In the framework of fairy-tale discourse, the functions are not independent, but actually depend on one another, as names in fairy tales are polyfunctional in themselves. Several functions occur: dominant (referential), as well as subjacent or latent (allusive, camouflage, localisation, didactic-educational, expressive, semantic and sociological) functions. The research framework of this paper is onomastics, but the approach is transdisciplinary. The methods belong to pragmatics, semantics and semiotics. The corpus was compiled from anthologies of folktales and modern fairy tales.
