Abstract

In Happily Ever After, Jack Zipes addresses his ongoing concern with the socialization of children, the impact of the fairy tale on children and adults, and the future development of the fairy tale as film. As a result of analyzing the historical trajectory of storytelling and the literary fairy tale, the essays in Happily Ever After move from the sixteenth century to the present, between different cultures and societies, and from specific analyses to general syntheses. Zipes demonstrates how Straparola's 16th-century Puss in Boots tale is related to Disney's 1922 film version. He examines the narrative structure of Hansel and Gretel as a rationalization for child abuse, tracing the same theme in Collad's novel Pinocchio and its Disney film version. He concludes by examining how we have come full circle from the early oral tradition in light of the rise of storytelling throughout the world. Underscoring all these essays is the question that all fairy tales raise: what does it take to bring about happiness? Is happiness only to be found in fairy tales?

Abstract

What happens to traditional stories when they are retold in another time and cultural context and for a different audience? This first-of-its-kind study discusses Bible stories, classical myths, heroic legends, Arthurian romances, Robin Hood lore, folk tales, 'oriental' tales, and other stories derived from European cultures. One chapter is devoted to various retellings of classics, from Shakespeare to ""Wind in the Willows."" The authors offer a general theory of what motivates the retelling of stories, and how stories express the aspirations of a society. An important function of stories is to introduce children to a cultural heritage, and to transmit a body of shared allusions and experiences that expresses a society's central values and assumptions.However, the cultural heritage may be modified through a pervasive tendency of retellings to produce socially conservative outcomes because of ethnocentric, androcentric and class-based assumptions in the source stories that persist into retellings.Therefore, some stories, such as classical myths, are particularly resistant to feminist reinterpretations, for example, while other types, such as folktales, are more malleable.In examining such possibilities, the book evaluates the processes of interpretation apparent in retellings.

Abstract

Overzicht (2009) van het werk van Klaas Verplancke met teksten van Pieter van Oudheusden en een voorwoord van Joost Swarte. Met documentaire (20 min) op DVD In twintig jaar ontwikkelde Klaas Verplancke zich van een dienstbaar illustrator van jeugd- en prentenboeken tot een eigenzinnig beeldend auteur wiens tekeningen een eigen leven leiden naast de tekst. Het resulteerde in tentoonstellingen in binnen- en buitenland, en in een reeks bekroningen en nominaties, met als hoogtepunten de toekenning van de Bologna Ragazzi Award voor Ozewiezewoze in (2001) en een finaleplaats bij de Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration voor zijn gehele oeuvre (2005). Bij een eerste, vluchtige blik lijken Verplanckes tekeningen en schilderijen erg verschillend van opzet en uitvoering maar ze tonen altijd de kwaliteiten die hem als illustrator en vormgever kenmerken: een humor die variëert van mild tot sardonisch, een poëtische verbeelding, een voorkeur voor het verbeelden van abstracte begrippen en universele emoties, en een dwarse, surrealistische kijk op de werkelijkheid.

Abstract

Introducing Children's Literature is an ideal guide to reading children's literature through the perspective of literary history. Focusing on the major literary movements from Romanticism to Postmodernism, Thacker and Webb examine the concerns of each period and the ways in which these concerns influence and are influenced by the children's literature of the time. Each section begins with a general chapter, which explains the relationship between the major issues of each literary period and the formal and thematic qualities of children's texts. Close readings of selected texts fol
