Abstract:
Tricksters are usually defined as non-heroic male characters obsessed with food, sex, and general merrymaking, occasionally changing shape and even gender but eventually returning to their masculine self. But is this necessarily true in contemporary ethnic literature? The current essay explores the notion of the trickstar, or the female trickster, in Afghan- American fiction, analysing the three heroines in Khaled Hosseini’s 2007 novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is a mother-daughter story set in Kabul at the turn of the millennium. In order to place this text into a cultural context and underscore the significance of the trickstar figure, it is compared to a traditional Afghan folk tale, “Women’s Tricks.” Two research questions are at the centre of this article: (1) In what ways are trickstars from Afghan folklore similar to the heroines of Hosseini’s novel? and (2) What roles do his heroines perform as pro-social trickstars?

Abstract:
This paper delves into the intricate character of the trickster as portrayed in oral literature while conducting a comprehensive survey to explore the universality of this intriguing figure across diverse world cultures. The investigation draws inspiration from Carl Jung's proposition that these archetypal manifestations in cultural and religious literature stem from the "collective unconscious," a profound thread of consciousness connecting all human beings and societies worldwide. The essay emphasises the distinctiveness of each trickster's personality within their respective cultures while also highlighting the common traits shared among all tricksters. Typically perceived as an entertainer, teacher, judge, and sage, the trickster embodies both humorous and serious aspects of life, encompassing a wide range of roles from rewarding to punishing. Furthermore, the study asserts that the trickster character goes beyond being a mere fictional element in oral literature; rather, it serves as a powerful tool for pedagogy and satire. The study advocates for the deliberate collection and documentation of folktales. These tales serve as valuable raw materials for future research, offering insights into the cultural intricacies and shared human experiences across the globe.

Full text
Abstract:
The article discusses Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony with a focus on textual manifestations of the figure of the trickster. The theme of shape-shifting and transformation that one usually associates with tricksters is linked here with the theme of (non)dualist timespace, the notion of interbeing, which in turn introduces the theme of trauma healing. The author combines two perspectives—Paula Gunn Allen’s view on timespace in her The Sacred Hoop, and Gerald Vizenor’s writings concerning trickster aesthetics—in order to show that the narrative structure of the novel can also be seen as an embodiment of the trickster: trickster-timespace, trickster-relation, and trickster-processuality; these three manifestations of the trickster are analyzed from the perspective of one more actualization of the trickster, that of a psychopomp, the “Guide of Souls” (which is manifested both at the level of plot and narration).

Abstract:
The paper explores the fulfillment of the trickster trope in Soviet culture based on four works (The Heart of a Dog by M. Bulgakov, Envy by Yu. Olesha, Julio Jurenito by I. Ehrenburg and The Odessa Tales by I. Babel). The author defines the features of the Soviet trickster: the "integral" character, roguery are an illustration of its cynical philosophy, which is devoid of the pragmatism inherent in cynicism and tends to P. Sloterdijk’s estimation of cynicism — the selfless and shameless performative relegation and ragging of all reputable discourses and symbols. The author has also highlighted three features of the Soviet trickster as a character (Sharikov, Ivan Babichev, Julio Jurenito, Benya Crick): ambivalent, transgressive, and liminal states, thanks to which the trickster embodies dangerous freedom from social norms and boundaries and functions, at the same time, as a mediator; performativity, which turns any gesture and any utterance into a performance; a special bonds with the sacred. Notably, in the prose of the 1920s, the plot portraying the confrontation between fathers-children, students — teachers, puts forward the figure of the trickster as an essential component — as one of the central participants in the debate about a new man and a new world. There is evidence that all variations of the Soviet tricksters have a close linkage with the reception of Nietzscheanism. The analysis of each of the central characters of the works centers around the answer to the question: What does each of the trickster’s role say about the emerging Soviet modernity? The author interprets the two types of the trickster as evidence of the Soviet modernity’ splitting, that emerged in the 1920s. Julio Jurenito and Ivan Babichev represent the type of trickster teachers via whom the modernist concept of personality was adopted. The author offers the treatment of Sharikov and Benya Creek as a type of" plebeian modernity " (Ilya Gerasimov). All the analyzed texts indicate that trickster cynicism is becoming a social norm of the new world, and it is on this basis that the conflict between trickster fathers/teachers and their followers in the next generation breaks out.

Full text
Abstract:
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) elicits extreme and contradictory audience responses. Some filmgoers find it amusing and clever, while others consider it repulsive, even obscene. Analyzing the film's hero as a traditional and archetypical trickster figure, a master of contradictions, a violator of boundaries, can help explain audience reaction. But while traditional folklore tricksters act in a fantasy world, Sacha Baron Cohen entered the lives of real people in trickster (dis) guise. For theater audiences removed from the interactions that created Borat, this film might serve the function of traditional trickster narratives, even as those appearing in the film feel exploited. By using real people and real situations, Baron Cohen has also precluded a follow-up or sequel: folkloric tricksters adapt with time, but a person immediately recognizable as a Hollywood figure cannot reassume trickster (dis)guise.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to propose a reading of Toni Morrison's Love (2003) as a trickster novel. The trickster paradigm, characterized by ambiguity, indeterminacy and transgression, pervades Morrison's fiction and dominates her latest novel in a clear continuation of her challenge to unquestioned univocal concepts and world views. Two of its female characters, Junior and Celestial, join the ranks of Morrisonian tricksters like Pilate or Sula. As a writer of trickster fiction, Toni Morrison turns into a figurative trickster herself, playing with language and words and welcoming paradoxes like those engendered by the multidimensional concept of love.

Abstract:
This article analyses Br’er Rabbit, a trickster character in African-American folklore. As a trickster Br’er Rabbit possesses a paradoxical nature. On the one hand, Br’er Rabbit acts as a hero but on the other hand, he constantly plays tricks on others and by doing so, he is also violating the prevailing values. These two opposing aspects of trickster’s nature offer an interesting subject for the research. The questions considered worth focusing on in discussing the subject are: How can trickster character be described? What values are represented by trickster character? Is there any shift in the description and represented values in different media and over time? The study presented in this article was aimed at investigating the transformation of how the trickster is characterized and values represented by trickster Br’er Rabbit in Uncle Remus’ folktale version of “The Wonderful Tar Baby (1881) and The Laughing Place” (1903) written by Joel Chandler Harries and the same trickster character in the same stories featured in Disney’s “Song of the South” (1946). By comparing and contrasting both narratives in different media and eras, it is uncovered that there are some changes on the depiction and nature as well as values represented by Br’er Rabbit, the trickster character. The study presented in this article was aimed at investigating the transformation of values represented by trickster Br’er Rabbit in Uncle Remus’ folktale version of “Tar Baby and The Laughing Place” (1879) written by Joel Chandler Harries and the same trickster character in the same stories featured in Disney’s “Song of the South.” The research questions of this study are answered by applying Barths’ theory and method in studying headlines news. This model of research enables the researcher to understand and interprete values represented by the trickster character in different times and media.

Abstract:
Purpose. The article explores the image of a trickster, and the peculiarity of its embodiment in world literature. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of assignment and functioning of the trickster image in modern Russian literature: from camp prose with its interest in the “naked man”, and the weirdos of traditionalism, to the characters created in the postmodern era. Results. The author analyses the reasons for and prospects of the emergence of the trickster hero, his ability to solve tragic problems facing its consciousness at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The author emphasizes the life-affirming and vital potential of the image, the possibilities inherent in it, the means of understanding and representing tragedy. The author analyses the change of the trickster's paradigm from one epoch and text to another, and presents the peculiarities of every cultural period. The author analyses the features of the modernist trickster, which becomes the initiator of events and the engine of the plot, and the concept of the postmodernist trickster, which differs significantly from his predecessors. The analysis of artistic texts shows that the trickster is used frequently due to its ambivalence and liminality, which meets the needs of the “crisis time”. Conclusion. The relevance of the figure of trickster is related, in particular, to the obvious fatigue of modern man from the “secondary” playful strategy of postmodernism, when the suspicion of irony is total, and to the enormous pressure that man feels and the trickster can alleviate.

Full text
Abstract:
How and why did the lead guitarist as trickster become a trope of 1970s stadium rock? Rock and roll and its interpretation were influenced by blackface minstrelsy, African American Signifying, and European traditions of foolery, all featuring quasi-demonic, protean figures who amuse, challenge, subvert, shock, but from the margins – eternally shifty, ambiguous antagonists who ‘play’ on paradoxes of rock mythology: (non-)conformity, (in)articulacy and power(lessness). In the increasingly theatrical, spectacular arena of 1970s stadium/hard rock/metal, the trickster guitarist signified as part of a homosocial rock group, as a version of the Signifying Monkey or blues trickster and as an echo of minstrelsy. The essay seeks to understand onstage performances as dramatic spectacles marked by ‘trinary’, competitive, Signifying/mocking, homosocial relationships between trickster lead guitarists, singers and their audiences. These conflicts can also be read as exemplifying the postmodern ambiguity that Lawrence Grossberg identifies in the 1970s rock formation, via consideration of the singer as Logos (heroic voice) and trickster guitarist as mockery of the same. Examples are Angus Young (AC/DC) and Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick). In conclusion, I argue that punk rock rendered tricksters temporarily redundant by making their trickery ubiquitous, although, thanks to generic/audience fragmentation and the ubiquity of classic rock, they continue to this day.

Thesis (M.A. (Folklore Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2013
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether human conduct and behaviour can be “seen” through the actions of trickster tales. This study focuses on how Bapedi people’s actions can be manifested in the actions of these tales. A variety of trickster tales will be used in trying to investigate the above claim. There will be some folktales that will be sampled from a variety of existing Literature. The sampled folktales will be brought together for analysis at the end of this study. The other folktales will be gathered from respondents. A number of respondents will be sampled through the snowballing technique. Each respondent will be interviewed through the face to face interview to gather more information in as far as folktales are concerned especially trickster tales. Gender sensitivity will be taken into cognizance when sampling the respondents in order to make the study more representative. Interviewees will be sampled from youth to senior citizens. Information gathered will thereafter be brought together with those collected from existing literature for creation of manuscripts. There manuscripts will thereafter be analysed through contend analysis technique.

Abstract:

This thesis interweaves the theories of Jungian psychology with the Native American Winnebago tribe’s trickster mythology in order to identify what the role of the trickster is in the process of research. With an alchemical hermeneutic and heuristic methodological approach, the researcher becomes the subject of the thesis. In this intertwining of ideas and heuristic methodology, the trickster archetype traps the researcher in such a way that promotes assimilation of unconscious material through the use of dream work, shadow integration, and the exploration of countertransference and individuation. This thesis emphasizes the hermeneutics aspects of psychotherapy and explores the therapeutic relationship from a Jungian perspective. In documentation of the personal experience of the researcher, the trickster helps to illuminate that which is not understood.

Kahan, David. "Trickster Redux : a reappraisal of Jacob's theological significance." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2009. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2319/.

Full text
Abstract:
Bringing God into history is Jacob's task. Jacob the patriarch, the one who breaks through, is a powerful biblical figure who may have been a role model for Jesus and was considered eldest of the angels during New Testament. Medieval church frescoes depict Jesus and Jacob together wearing halos. Unfortunately, as a survey of commentary will show, Post-Reformation Jacob becomes the typical Jew ruthlessly taking advantage of his brother, repulsive, a vile deceiver. Cardinal Ratzinger questioned whether Christians still can claim in good conscience to be the legitimate heirs of Israel's Bible: to a degree Jacob, his narrative, and a viable hermeneutic has been 'lost' to Christianity. Decisively breaking with more traditional and literary approaches, the oldest hermeneutic has been rearticulated and brought back into play: verbal performing art. It is this hermeneutic - more intuitional and more capable of capturing ephemeral poetic moments - that can efficaciously attend to the biblical text's heterogene vivacity. It is well suited to explore inherent textual ambiguity. Loosely set within an ethnographic context where both narrative and character demand serious attention, the Jacobean narrative is approached closely. Seeking Jewish perspectives as well as Christian, it listens carefully for possibly dominated voices. There in the textual gaps, evidence will be found of a more hidden transcript with trickster discourse. Primarily a theological endeavour attempting to build bridges to the Tanakh for Christian readers, the goal is to discover fresh presences of Jacob, uncover narrative coherence for his actions and establish theological significance. A return to the biblical text will reveal that between the formative time and Sinaiic time lies Jacobean time. As will be demonstrated, Jacob is blessed by God only after Jacob recognizes his own amporphous disruptive and subversive abilities. As has been said of others, Jacob shatters convention by mastering tradition. Jacob is the liminal figure who grasps the nature of perdurance and is therefore able to conceive a nascent Judaism and ensure that at Sinai the covenant will be set in Halakah. Jacob's narrative can be conceived as a tribute to sacred trickster.

Full text
Abstract:

Trickster humor is ubiquitous. Every society has some version of trickster and each society tells the stories of trickster over and over again to both enlighten and entertain. This thesis argues that trickster humor plays a fundamental role in helping society adapt by challenging social norms. Because trickster stories are humorous they are entertaining, because they critique social behaviors they are instructive. Tricksters break social rules, leaving society to remake them. This thesis examines the works of American Humorists Tom Robbins and Edward Abbey, particularly Still Life with Woodpecker and The Monkey Wrench Gang, arguing that these authors are contemporary trickster figures whose work not only entertains their audience but through their rule breaking offers them new possibilities in dealing with the unresolved conflicts American society is wrestling with in the last quarter of the twentieth century and beyond.

Full text
Abstract:
Whereas scholarly malcontents and naifs in late Renaissance drama represent the actual notion of university graduates during the time period, scholarly tricksters have an obscure social origin. Moreover, their lack of motive in participating in the plays' events, their ambivalent value structures, and their conflicting dramatic roles as tricksters, reformers, justices, and heroes pose a serious diffculty to literary critics who attempt to define them. By examining the Western dramatic tradition, this study first proposes that the scholarly tricksters have their origins in both the Vice in early Tudor plays and the witty slave in classical comedy. By incorporating historical, cultural, anthropological, and psychological studies, this essay also demonstrates that the scholarly tricksters are each a Jacobean version of the archetypal trickster, who is usually associated with solitary habits, motiveless intrusion, and a double function as selfish buffoon and cultural hero. Finally, this study shows that their ambivalent value structures reflect the nature of rhetorical training in Renaissance schools.

Abstract:
In this talk, I will juxtapose the mythological figure of trickster with the biblical figure of Cain. In doing so, my purpose is to shed light on the dynamics of human thinking. Trickster is a potent symbol of humanity. It is found in the oral literatures of tribal peoples worldwide, in the context of which his mode of thinking and acting is amply demonstrated. Trickster became widely known to the Western world as a unique expression of humanity, mainly through the works of the anthropologist Paul Radin and the psychologist Carl Jung. Trickstering is a unique human quality which concerns a one-way logic of being in the world. Trickster’s flow of consciousness moves from a center or point of departure outwards, having no destination, and is defined by the lack of any subject / object differentiation. Trickster stands ideally for abductive logic, to use the philosopher Charles Saunders Peirce’s terminology, as opposed to the other two Peircean kinds of logic, inductive and deductive, which I take to represent together the logic of Cain. In the case of Cain, human thinking is characterized by the subject / object divide, which introduces an epistemological and, eventually, a reflexive dualism, with serious, moral, and ethical implications. Cain’s logic flows from the particular to the whole and vice versa, inductively or deductively, as it is defined and determined by the mental law of ‘Two’ in the thinker’s or actor’s reflexive relationship with the world – his or her physical, social, and spiritual cosmos. After setting the stage for a critical encountering between the primitive trickster and the biblical Cain, I will interpret their exchanges and incompatible expressions regarding their non-reflexive and reflexive ways of being in the world, respectively. Finally, I will turn to music and allegory, attempting to blend these two fundamental components of humanity with the archetypal characters of trickster and Cain. It is in the context of such a dialogue that trickster’s encounter with Cain acquires its musical and allegorical momentum, and sheds light through its abductive othering to the question of interpretation and human consciousness.

Abstract:
In African traditions, the crossroads is where the trickster makes his/her appearance. Eshu, Legba, Anansi and others create complexity when our decisions fold back on themselves. AI has created yet another crossroads, and again the trickster brings surprises. What might have seemed like Africa’s worst challenges-“underdeveloped” from the colonial perspective-could be the basis by which computational aids can facilitate more sustainable and egalitarian futures. Blending the heritage algorithms of Africa’s past with full stack decolonization can guide us through the crossroads, on the path towards generative justice.

Abstract:
В статье отражен опыт исследования феномена игры и сознания неудачи, толчком которому послужила реальная терапевтическая работа, где соблазнение, зачарованность, страдание, борьба за власть, символическая смерть и воскрешение в паре «клиент-психолог» осмысляются через понимание подходов аналитической психологии, запутанной психодинамики архетипического трикстера, игровых стремлений людей к агональности и ускользанию, нахождению родовых связей и сходств между игрой и мифом. The article reflects the experience of studying the phenomenon of play and the consciousness of failure, which was triggered by real therapeutic work, where seduction, enchantment, suffering, power struggle, symbolic death and resurrection in a pair of "client-psychologist" are comprehended through understanding the approaches of analytical psychology, the intricate psychodynamics of the archetypal trickster, people's gaming aspirations to agonality and escape, finding ancestral connections and similarities between the game and the myth.

Abstract:
In the paper, based on a complex analysis of ethnographic materials, interesting issues of ethno-economics are discussed. In particular: The reasons for the beginning of the process of emptying rural settlements, which is still ongoing, but originates from the last quarter of the 19th century; the consequences of rejecting the willing rule of standing next to each other in labor-activity; Integrating modern means of ennobling personal economic and social status ("living affordably") into everyday life. The following are the reasons for the emptying of the countryside and the abolition of traditional farming: Neglecting traditional, time-tested approaches to "people's life", farm management; Abolition of traditional local community governance, for example, replacement of the "Makhvshi" institution with "trickster-savvy, salaried" administrators; The gradual replacement of unity, work for each other with the approach "to be mine". We mean that on the way to economic security, the "rule of unselflfishness help" was forgotten. "Legally recognized" binding relationships that did not take into account human capacity. Replacing the faith-boosting "begar" with "an inappropriate natural tax imposed on you by law"; Forgetting the habit of asking God for "provided happiness". It is revealed that before the government launched various economic programs to raise social welfare, the individual and the community themselves were oriented to get a better life and distribute the "benefit" to their family and external needs. On the basis of complex research, the historical meaning of the terms: "Scream", "Bad Monday", "Letting go" and "Peace", "Begara" is revealed; Also, the name of a better economic condition obtained by "faithful and calculated work" - "comparatively better being".

Abstract:
In my doctoral research, even though I chose the scientific route and not the professional one, I sought to expand the theoretical discourse in various applicative areas. In order to understand the springs of clowning and the psychosomatic structure of the clown actor, I conducted a non-verbal monologue study about the trickster, I participated in physical and online workshops with clowning teachers from the UK and Spain and, last but not least, I conducted together with an interdisciplinary team a niche theatrical laboratory with the theme: the clown condition of some dramatic characters. After all these practical extensions of the research, it was my turn, this summer, to undertake a documentary visit to the Avignon Festival. I had planned to watch shows that clearly contain a clownish expression, but also shows where I could identify it based on criteria defined in my research. Thus, I discovered that getting to Avignon during the festival is an adventure in itself. You risk yourself into a heterogeneous theatrical dynamics that is difficult to assimilate. The diversity of events that take place both in the courtyard of Palais des Papes and in several hundred other locations in the old town, but also in five other neighbouring towns – Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Monteux, Courthézon, Vedène and Noves – surpasses any other festival approach from Europe. This fact complicates the options for any viewer, competent or not. This year, in the official section (July 7-26), there were more than 40 events, some resumed in consecutive days, resulting in several hundred performances, all of them sold out. The “Off” section of the festival had a longer duration (July 7-30) and 1570 performances, each show having multiple performances, some even running the entire duration of the festival. No mathematical calculations are needed to get an idea of the artistic effervescence of those summer days in the south of France.
