Fairy Tale Terminology ENG 170 Lecture Meghann Meeusen

Definitions Legends: based on events believed to be real Myths: stories that take place outside of human time, often featuring supernatural heroes and gods/goddesses Retellings or Revisions: Fairy tales are frequently retold and adapted to new contexts, whether to be more accessible to certain audiences, promote national pride, or fit with our understanding of a culture. Intertextuality- relationship between a prior text and a new text created when an author borrows from the prior one or references it within the new text

Postmodernism and Parody

Literary Fairy Tale and Oral Tale A literary fairy tale is written down and has a definite author, and in the 16th, 17th, and 18th century, “experimented with and expanded upon the stock motifs, figures and plots of the fairy tale. An oral folk tale is collectively authored and shared, “cultivated by non-literate and literate people to express the manner in which they perceived and perceive nature and their social order and their wish to satisfy their needs and wants” (Zipes 7).

Capture the Voice of a Culture Charles Perrault (1697)- France Aristocratic and courtly audience, sly asides and fashion details Always included a moral, both cautionary and flitatious/tongue-in-cheek Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm (1812-1815)- Germany Shift to make tales for children, which removed sexually explicit material Emphasized the traditional roles of women, enhanced violence Hans Christian Andersen (mid 19th century)- Denmark Original material Ugly Duckling, Emperor’s New Clothes, Little Mermaid and The Snow Queen (Disney’s Frozen) Andrew Lang (1880, 1892)- England “Color Books” Jack and the Beanstalk

Classic Versus Canon Canon: those texts that by social and cultural consensus have been acknowledged as the most important or central works of a period, country or genre Classic: text that has endured overall several generations and which is esteemed on both aesthetic and cultural grounds

Ideology An ideology is a set of beliefs, values, or ways of seeing the world. It is a system of ideas or ideals, attitudes, and perceptions typical of a given class or group of people in a specific time and place. Texts often reflect particular ideologies in the way they present certain elements as the norm, thus reinforcing a particular worldview that is frequently shared by many people in a society and/or reinforced by those in power.

Implicit/Explicit implicit ideology- when an author is passing on cultural beliefs without even being aware of doing so explicit ideology- the “theme” or message of the text Ask: What does this story present as “normal”? What values or beliefs about society or people does it present? Does this story reinforce a dominant belief of a particular group? Does it complicate or question norms, beliefs or value systems of our society? Does the text reflect a pattern or offer a particular worldview or perspective that we see repeated in many texts?
