Titre: CLASSIFYING TALES: REMARKS TO INDEXES AND SYSTEMS OF ORDERING Auteur:Uther, Hans-Jörg Sujet:Anthropology ; Classification ; Documentation ; Distributiondiffusion of Folktales ; Folktale ; Historicgeographic Method ; Motif Catalogue ; Tale Type ; Type Catalogue ; Anthropology Description:
The paper deals with the historical and recent situation in classifying international folk tales and gives an overview of new developments, for example new catalogs for types and motifs. From the outset up to date, folk narrative researchers have been creating systems for ordering large masses of tale material according to genres, actors and incidents. The concentration on oral traditions, however, has largely neglected the important literary history of many tales. It was necessary to include such information into the new international catalog ATU (Aarne/Thompson/Uther). The concept of tale type and here must be understood to be flexible. It is not a constant unit of measure or a way to refer to lifeless material from the past. Instead, as part of a greater dynamic, it is adaptable, and can be integrated into new thematic compositions and media. Some former catalog makers also had used the system of numbers for expansion beyond number 2400 in order to describe other genres such...

Titre: Illustrations to the Folktale “The Fisherman and His Wife” (KHM 19, ATU 555) Auteur:Uther, Hans-Jörg Sujet:Customs / Folklore ; Illustrations ; Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm ; Kinder Und Hausmärchen ; Ludwig Bechstein ; Philipp Otto Runge ; “the Fisherman and His Wife” ; Anthropology Description:
The article is about the illustrations to the folktale “The Fisherman and His Wife” (Grimm, Household Tales No. 19, ATU 555) and similar tales created by Ludwig Bechstein and Alexandr Sergeevich Pushkin, the relation between text and illustration, the tradition of illustrated representation, the use in popular media, the role of the illustrator/painter representing dominant scenes/actions and mediating stereotypes. Three phases can be distinguished: the first covers the period of 1809–1840, the second 1840–1890, the third refers to the turn of the 19th century. At the beginning the relation between text and picture is not so close: the idyllic scene of the prior illustrations is replaced by introducing more realistic traits which capture crude elements of the milieu as well. In the third phase, many distinguished artists have contributed a wide variety of pictorial representations (with their vision of the folktale: often the fisherman’s wife as a negative figure with a touch...

Titre: Fairy Tales as a Forerunner of European Children's Literature: Cross-Border Fairy Tale Materials and Fairy Tale Motifs Auteur:Uther, Hans-Jörg Sujet:Cultural Essay ; Political Essay ; Societal Essay ; Oral Literature ; Children'S Literature ; Fairy Tales ; Folktales ; Grimm ; Popular Culture ; Anthropology Description:
Due to the Romantic movement there was a growing attention for recording oral tradition. Pedagogues advocating an independent literature for children recognized the importance of folktales especially for the mediation of bourgeois virtues and social norms. Influenced by the stilistic model of the Brother Grimm's Household Tales and as a result of the propagation of national literatures, a broad range of application within the printed and pictorial media developed in European countries. Folktales as a products of the mass culture possess multiple applicability. This paper deals with different spheres of application and outlines the functions of folktales as popular reading material.
