Bortolini et al. (1) claim to infer patterns of folktale diffusion using genomic data. What is not said in their paper is that such a proposal is not new. For example, Korotayev and Khaltourina (2) showed statistical correlation between spatial distributions of mythological motifs and genetic markers, considerably above the 4,000 km proposed by Bortolini et al. (1). Such correlations allow us to reconstruct in detail the … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence should be addressed. Email: Julien.dHuy{at}malix.univ-paris1.fr. [1]: #xref-corresp-1-1

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...

Walter de Gruyter
Sujet:Anthropology; Description:
Am 29. Dezember ist Lutz Röhrich, Emeritus der Universität zu Freiburg im Breisgau, im Alter von 84 Jahren verstorben. Wir trauern um einen der Großen unseres Fachs, den Erzählforscher, Literaturwissenschaftler und Volkskundler, der mit seinen zahlreichen Werken mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert lang die deutschsprachige und internationale Erzählforschung maßgeblich bereichert hat. Auf zahlreichen Gebieten hat er neue Forschungen angeregt, Grundlagenwissen vermittelt und in einer beeindruckenden Fülle von Beiträgen zentrale Fachfragen angesprochen: Oftmals hat er Entwicklungstendenzen der Erforschung von Sagen, Märchen, Sprichwörtern, Redensarten, Volksliedern, Schwänken und Witzen vorweggenommen. Ungeachtet der Dynamisierung von Wissen, des Wechsels schnellebiger Methoden und Theorien werden diese Werke und Beiträge ihren Wert behalten und weiterdauern. Eine solche Vielseitigkeit des Schaffens, das sowohl die materielle Volkskultur als auch die historische und rezente Narrativistik in all ihren Erscheinungsformen einschließlich der Lied- und Balladenforschung und ikonographische Zeugnisse umfaßt, ist bei der heutigen Forschergeneration nur selten anzutreffen.

Titre: Glück im Unglück. Hans Christian Andersens Schwank „Was Vater tut, ist stets das Richtige“ im Spiegel literarischer und mündlicher Überlieferungen Auteur:Uther, Hans-Jörg Editeur:
Walter de Gruyter
Sujet:Andersen, Hans Christian (1805-1875) ; Literary Criticism ; Short Stories ; Fairy Tales ; Families & Family Life; Description:
Andersens späte Geschichte Hvad Fatter gjør, det er altid det Rigtige (1861) demonstriert in den Figuren des Bauern und seiner Frau, daß Harmonie und persönliche Zufriedenheit wichtiger sind als materielles Glück. Der glückliche Zufall eröffnet selbst Außenseitern eine Chance. Trotz mißglückender Handelsgeschäfte erscheint Andersens Darstellung des Bauernehepaars in mildem Licht. Ältere literarische Versionen (Grimm, Bechstein) wie auch Fassungen aus späterer mündlicher Überlieferung zeigen häufig eine andere Bewertung der Handlungsträger: Ihre Tauschgeschäfte führen zu Nachteilen für die Betroffenen und offenbaren deren einfältiges Wesen.

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.
