Abstract:
This essay examines Angela Carter’s feminist rewritings of classical fairy tales. By examining the original fairy tales and comparing them to what Angela Carter published I aim to highlight a feminism that is subtle and non-binary. In the analysis I draw on ideas presented by Hélène Cixous as well as Simone de Beauvoir. Furthermore, a pedagogical reflection is included to show ways in which these stories could be incorporated in the upper- secondary school.

This research investigated the use of child stories with math learning, a subject that brings so many challenges to our students. We verified how fairy tales, read in First year of Elementary School classrooms, can provide children math alphabetization, inside literacy perspective. The main objective was to analyze the possible connections between the use of fairy tales and the math learning for the first year of elementary school children. We realized an empirical research in a public school of Mogi Mirim city, S?o Paulo state, where the town Secretary realized the government program ?Right Age Alphabetization National Pact? (PNAIC, in Portuguese) training. We analyzed the main literacy contributions on the first years of Elementary School in different aspects: analyze how literacy insertion in those children are and identify the docent methodologies when they read stories and relate them to math learning, contemplating the PNAIC objectives. We expect with the development of this research to present new possibilities in the math learning, observing if the fairy tales can contribute in fact with the math alphabetization process. The theoretical and methodological basis anchored in the cultural-historical psychology perspective. During the empirical research, we made systematic observations of classroom routine, mainly on moments with child stories and moments with math learning. The intention was to establish a connection with the children and the teacher. We started the interventions from three fairy tales reading ? The three little pigs; Jack and the beanstalk and Goldilocks and the three bears, beginning always with objects so that children could explore them and build imaginative processes before the story reading. The research observed how fairy tales can be a potentiality on math learning. From established dialogues, different materials and proposals, the children mathematically developed themselves, bringing with them lived experiences outside the school environment. We expect to present new learning math possibilities, observing how fairy tales contribute to math alphabetization process development.

Na pesquisa emp?rica, realizamos observa??es sistem?ticas da rotina de uma classe, principalmente no que se refere aos momentos do trabalho com a literatura infantil e com a aprendizagem matem?tica. Iniciamos as interven??es junto ?s crian?as, a partir da leitura de tr?s contos de fadas ? Os tr?s porquinhos; Jo?o e o p? de feij?o e Cachinhos Dourados - , partindo da utiliza??o de objetos disparadores para que as crian?as constru?ssem processos imaginativos. Os resultados desta pesquisa permitiram perceber os contos de fadas como uma potencialidade na aprendizagem matem?tica. A partir dos di?logos estabelecidos, dos diferentes materiais e propostas, as crian?as avan?aram matematicamente, inclusive ao indicarem suas experi?ncias vivenciadas fora do ambiente escolar. Esperamos, com o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, apresentar novas possibilidades de ensino e aprendizagem da matem?tica, tendo como suporte os contos de fadas na perspectiva de que contribuem com o processo da alfabetiza??o matem?tica.

Abstract:

How do envisioning dreams like fairy tales inform the therapist’s ability to talk with their clients about dreams? Using the research methodologies of heuristics and hermeneutics, the author tended to a dream while enrolled in a graduate program in psychology. He explains his dream as an imaginative story that reflects many of the ideas and concepts of depth psychology. The mythopoetic function of the unconscious is explored in relation to archetypal, historical, and fairy tale figures appearing in the dream, such as Bilbo Baggins, Trickster, Cleopatra, the Dalai Lama, and Frederick Douglass. Threads of depth and applied psychology are woven into the discussion, creating a link between the author’s dream and fairy tales. The research suggests that dreams, when envisioned as imaginary tales, are less frightening and more palatable, inviting selfdiscovery and transformation in the process of psychotherapy.

Abstract:
The majority of interpretations of literary animals focus on the animals' metaphoric or symbolic significance, overlooking the actual animal, which often completely disappears behind its metaphoric or mythological representation. Such traditional interpretations of animals expose the dominant anthropocentric focus of the humanities in general, and literary studies in particular. Yet, even as textual representations a lot of literary animals still exhibit some basic species-specific characteristics. By analyzing selected Russian fairytales through the animal studies perspective I will show that in a lot of Russian fairytales animals exercise their agency, retain their animal specificity and are involved in complex companionate relationships with humans. Such portrayal of animals in Russian fairytales warrants identifying traditional Russian worldview as ecosystemic – in which humans are positioned on an equal plane with other living beings. Given the insufficient number of interpretive works on Russian fairytales, and the lack of work on fairytale animals, the present application of animal studies to Russian folktales can be one of the first steps to filling this niche.
Les analyses des animaux dans la littérature se concentrent pour la plupart sur la signification de l'animal métaphorique ou symbolique et negligent par là même l'animal réel qui disparaît souvent derrière sa représentation métaphorique ou mythologique. Ces interprétations traditionnelles révèlent l'anthropocentrisme qui domine dans les sciences humaines en général, et les études littéraires en particulier. Pourtant, les animaux dans la littérature retiennent encore des caractéristiques spécifiques à leur espèce. En analysant certains contes de fées russes du point de vue des études animales, je vais montrer que les animaux gardent leur capacité d'être agent, qu'ils conservent leur spécificité animale et qu'ils sont impliqués dans des relations complexes comme compagnons des humains. Cette représentation des animaux dans les contes de fées russes montre que la vision traditionnelle du monde russe est écosystémique – c'est-à-dire que les humains sont sur un même plan d'égalité que les autres êtres vivants. Compte tenu du nombre insuffisant d'analyses sur les contes de fées russes, et du manque d'analyses sur les animaux dans les contes de fées en général, la présente étude représente une étape importante pour combler cette lacune.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses
To analyse some fairy tales such as Beauty and the Beast and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs from the perspective of modern feminism is like revising the paradigms which form our romantic expectations and illustrate psychological ambiguities that frequently confuse contemporary women. Portraits of adolescents waiting and dreaming, patterns of enchantment, and the romanticism of marriage contribute to the power of fairy tales. However, such fantasies praise the heroines’ incapacity to act independently, the reliance on exterior rescue and the binding to the father or to a prince. Although many readers recognise obvious elements of fantasy, they sometimes still identify themselves with the heroes and especially with the heroines. Unconsciously, women can transfer from the fairy tales to the real world cultural norms, which exalt passivity, dependency and self-sacrifice as feminine virtues. Intrinsically, fairy tales perpetuate the male status quo, making female subordination seem a desirable fate from which it is impossible to escape. It is this feminine perspective and feminist criticism that I intend to expose in my thesis, touching on the importance that fairy tales still have today, in the 21st century, not only on child rearing but also on the adults’ behaviour. In this thesis, I briefly explain how fairy tales emerged several centuries ago and how they evolved until our time in several versions, with several perspectives. My purpose is to analyse how fairy tales, on the one hand can influence us positively, showing us what is good and what is evil, and on the other hand, can influence us negatively because they present us with the “socially” accepted behaviours expected from women. In fairy tales, women are almost always represented as stepmothers and bad witches or as sweet, passive princesses dependent on the male image (father or prince) in order to be happy. It is this representation of female image that I intend to explore and analyse, showing my point of view of how fairy tales continue to represent behavioural models considered adequate to the female sex and to mirror a female image which is still accepted and seen as the most adequate – the image of a submissive, passive woman waiting for her prince charming to save her and bring her the desired happiness.
Analisar alguns contos de fadas como A Bela e o Monstro e A Branca de Neve e os Sete Anões sob a perspectiva do feminismo moderno é como rever os paradigmas que formam as nossas expectativas românticas e ilustrar ambiguidades psicológicas que frequentemente confundem as mulheres contemporâneas. Retratos de adolescentes à espera e sonhando, padrões de encanto, e o romantismo do casamento contribuem para o poder dos contos de fadas. Contudo, tais fantasias exaltam a incapacidade das heroínas em agir independentemente, a confiança na salvação exterior e a ligação ao pai ou a um príncipe. Apesar de muitos(as) leitores(as) reconhecerem elementos de fantasia óbvios, eles(elas) por vezes ainda se identificam com os heróis e especialmente com as heroínas. Inconscientemente, as mulheres podem transferir dos contos de fadas para o mundo real normas culturais que exaltam a passividade, dependência e auto-sacrifício como virtudes femininas. No fundo, os contos de fadas perpetuam o status quo patriarcal, fazendo a subordinação feminina parecer um destino desejável e ao qual é impossível escapar. É esta perspectiva feminina e de crítica feminista que eu pretendo expor na minha tese de mestrado, abordando a importância que os contos de fadas continuam a ter hoje, em pleno século XXI, não só na educação das crianças como no comportamento dos adultos. Nesta tese, faço um breve resumo explanando como os contos de fadas surgiram há vários séculos atrás e como eles evoluíram até aos nossos dias em várias versões, com perspectivas diversas. O meu intuito é analisar a forma como os contos de fadas, por um lado nos podem influenciar positivamente, mostrando-nos o que é o bem e o mal, e por outro lado nos podem influenciar negativamente pois apresentamnos os comportamentos “socialmente” aceites e esperados das mulheres. Nos contos de fadas, as mulheres são sempre representadas como madrastas e bruxas más ou então como princesas meigas, passivas e dependentes da imagem masculina (pai ou príncipe) para serem felizes. É esta representação da imagem feminina que eu pretendo explorar e analisar, expondo o meu ponto de vista de como os contos de fadas continuam a representar modelos comportamentais considerados adequados ao sexo feminino e a espelhar uma imagem feminina que ainda hoje é aceite e vista como a mais adequada – a imagem da mulher submissa, passiva e à espera do seu príncipe encantado para a salvar e lhe trazer a felicidade tão ambicionada.

Abstract:
The relationship between ballet and fairy tale is by no means a new or unique discovery—to either dance history or literary studies. However, aside from relatively brief mentions of ballets as examples of fairy-tale adaptation, ballet's relevance to fairy-tale studies has been somewhat undervalued. While scholars often relegate ballet to a smaller part in fairy tale's influence through the performing arts, fairy-tale ballet deserves to have its own, independent academic conversation because ballet contributes uniquely to both fairy-tale history and canon. Ballet can be credited with both giving new life to an old tale and creating a brand new one through an amalgamation of formalistic fairy-tale motifs and figures—particularly when it comes to female figures. Through an analysis of nineteenth-century Romanticism, fairy-tale form, and the narratives created by three of the most famous fairy bride ballets--La Sylphide, Giselle, and Swan Lake--we can distinguish how Romantic ballet affects fairy-tale studies because of the special conditions this "feminized" art placed on narrative and character. The pervasion of the fairy bride character and motif in ballet indicates a potentially unique tale type, and these three fairy brides together reveal a different dimension to our view of female fairy-tale characters by actively shaping their own stories according to Romantic values that place them outside of traditional fairy-tale roles. Thus, fairy-tale ballets significantly substantiate Romantic imagination beyond the bounds of literary form, and therefore both emphasize and nuance the fairy-tale female paradigm by making unique contributions to the fairy-tale canon.

I vårt arbete har vi studerat hur pedagoger på förskolan arbetar med sagor för att främja barnens språkutveckling. I den första delen har vi beskrivit forskningsbakgrund. Där tar vi olika forskares synpunkter och åsikter om hur sagan användas för att utveckla barnens språk. Vi beskrev syftet med vårt arbete och bestämde problematiken som vi skulle arbeta med. I den andra delen redovisade vi vårt resultat utifrån våra genomförda intervjuer. Vi har använt oss av intervjuer för att få svar på de frågorna som vi var intresserade av. Vi besökte tre förskolor i två olika kommunen och intervjuade fyra förskollärare där. Vi ville få svar på frågorna i vilket syfte används sagan i förskolan, hur pedagoger arbetar med sagan och om sagan anses som ett viktigt hjälpmedel för att främja barnens språkutveckling. Vi samlade allt informationer från intervjuer, diskuterade och analyserade den. Informationen använde vi i vårt arbete.Sammanställningen av intervjuer visar att pedagogerna arbetar med sagan på olika sätt och använder sagan med olika syften, men alla är medvetna om att detta arbete främjar barnens språkutveckling. Förskollärarna påstår att samtal, diskussion efter läsning har en stor vikt. Stor roll spelar också bokval, bokutställning på avdelning och läsmiljön i allmänhet. Pedagogerna poängterar att en bra läsare spelar en stor roll och är som en förbild för barnen. Förskollärare tycker att använda kroppsspråk, varierar tonläget, visa bilder är ett betydelsefullt moment för barnens språkutveckling. Pedagogerna arbetar med sagan ett tema eller med enskilda sagor. Förskollärarna visade vad de är bra på och vad de ville förbättra i sitt arbete.Två av pedagogerna som hade intervjuer upptäckte att det var nyttigt att svara på våra frågor för att de fick tänka mer om hur man arbetar med sagor, fick analysera sitt arbete och hittade området som de skulle ändra eller förbättra.

Abstract:
This thesis involves an investigation of the value of traditional and self-generated fairy tales for children's educational and emotional development. The study draws on theories of analytical psychology and on models derived from structuralism. An analysis of two Icelandic traditional fairy tales, Golden Tooth and The Story of Princess Pussycat, is undertaken on a psychological and a narrative level. A comparison is made between the narrative structure of the tales and the structure of psychic processes identified in them. The study is taken further with an analysis of eleven fantasy tales generated during a field study by a group of ten to eleven year old Icelandic children. The mode of expression of the tales is also compared to the style, motifs, notion of time, setting, and characters, as they appear in traditional Indo-European fairy tales. The variants of the two traditional fairy tales analysed originate from Fljötshlic' a region in the south of Iceland. A study of the background, upbringing and personality of four women, who shared and brought further the story telling tradition in this area, is undertaken with the aim of throwing light on the nature of fairy tales and their transmission. The study suggests that patterns operating in the process of individuation, that is differentiation, transformation and integration, are embedded in the structure of traditional fairy tales. Furthermore it is proposed that this theory can be expanded to tales of fantasy generated by children of today. It is argued that the manifestation of these patterns in fairy tales embodies qualities that invite a creative operation in the interaction of children's conscious and unconscious psyche, thus simultaneously stimulating their directed and undirected modes of thinking, which is essential for the development of the creative, individual personality

Abstract:

Cinderella stories are one of the most popular fairy tales in the world. At the same time, they are most stigmatized by people for describing a weak and passive female protagonist. To discover possible explanations for this continuing popularity of Cinderella stories, I chose to analyze the Kongjwi Patjwi story, one of the Cinderella tales in Korea. The Kongjwi Patjwi story is one of the well-known folktales in Korea that has been adapted for children since the beginning of the 20th century. Since the Kongjwi Patjwi story is not familiar to many western people, I first analyze two of the folklore versions of Kongjwi Patjwi to prove that this story is also one kind of Cinderella tale. Both of them have the "innocent, persecuted heroine" theme, which is one of the most distinctive features of Cinderella tales. In one version, the plot follows almost exactly the same trajectory as European Cinderella tales in that it has the lost shoe motif and marriage with the Prince. The biggest difference between the Korean Cinderella and other Cinderella stories is that there is another plot in the Korean Cinderella story as the passive protagonist matures and becomes an independent woman. In some of the adapted fairy tale versions for children, this plot does not appear and the Korean Cinderella becomes another passive girl who is rescued by her Prince Charming. One of the reasons for this change is that the mothers, the buyers of the children's books, want the "Prince Charming's rescue" plot because they find that it is hard to become an independent woman in Korean society. To accommodate the consumers' wants and needs, publishers intentionally change the plots with passive protagonists. The folklore version of Kongjwi Patjwi actually suggests a more independent and mature female character which would be a good role model for many young boys and girls.

Abstract:
George MacDonald (1824-1905) is one of the most complex and significant Scottish writers of the nineteenth century, especially as a writer of children's fiction and literary fairy tales. His works, however, have seldom been studied as Scottish literature. This dissertation is the first full-length analysis of his writings for children in their Scottish context, focusing particularly on his use of Scottish folklore in his literary fairy tales. MacDonald wrote in the Scottish Romantic tradition of Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and James Hogg; by close reading his works alongside similar texts by his compatriots, such as Andrew Lang, MacDonald's own idiosyncratic contribution to that tradition becomes more apparent. His profound knowledge of and appreciation for Christian mysticism is in evidence throughout his work; his use of folklore was directly informed by his exploration of mystical ideas. Hogg is recast as a second Dante, and ‘bogey tales' become catalysts for spiritual awakening. MacDonald's fairy tales deal sensitively and profoundly with the theme of child death, a tragedy that held personal significance for him, and can thus be read as his attempt to come to terms with the reality of bereavement by using Scottish folklore to explain it in mystical terms. Traditional figures such as Thomas Rhymer, visionary poets, and doubles appear in his fairy tales as guides and pilgrims out of the material world toward mystical union with the Divine.

O desconhecido foi sempre de reflexão para o homem que, através de sua produção artística, procura explicar fenômenos que direta ou indiretamente estão associados a poderes e mistérios que regem nossas vidas. A literatura é um dos veículos da imaginação que possibilita expressar as perplexidades e angústias do espírito humano, e ao mesmo tempo encontrar respostas para alguns dos mistérios que não podem ser compreendidos pela razão. Os CONTOS DE FADA são produtos da liberdade imaginativa/criadora do homem à procura de respostas (soluções) para problemas existenciais. Os contos de fada em sua simbologia, através do seu componente fundamental, a magia, transmitem mensagens de grande interesse para a vida. Estas mensagens são principalmente expressas por meio de duas situações que, em geral, promovem o eixo-condutor da narrativa dos contos de fadas: uma situação problematizadora e uma situação solucionadora. Nessa dissertação os contos de fadas são analisados a nível de organização estrutural - como uma variedade do discurso narrativo - e a nível de sua simbologia. O estudo da estrutura narrativa dos contos mostra a presença de elementos mágicos - ou existentes maravilhosos, em três categorias estruturais: Orientação/Ação Complicadora/Resolução. Analisando essas estruturas narrativas em relação à presença dos existentes maravilhosos conclui-se que há duas possibilidades quanto ao seu comportamento mágico. Existentes maravilhosos podem ser realizadores de duas ações distintas que criam situações de desequilíbrio e/ou equilíbrio que se manifestam em contos de fadas como problemas e/ou soluções. Ações problematizadoras (situações de desequilíbrio) em contos de fadas são solucionadas direta e/ou indiretamente por meio de magia. Isto é, a solução depende não somente da interferência da magia, mas também da atitude das personagens (humanas) ao enfrentar as mais diversas e adversas situações. Assim, as personagens obrigatória para o seu desfecho satisfatório e/ou feliz. É sobretudo neste sentido que parece estar centrada a simbologia dos contos de fada - a mensagem de que problemas são inevitáveis, porém, possíveis de resolução. Por sempre ser encontrada a solução dos problemas enfrentados pelas personagens centrais é que se revela a mensagem maior dos contos: haverá sempre um final feliz! Em síntese, este estudo pretende mostrar o papel da magia, evidenciado pela função dos existentes maravilhosos (principalmente as fadas) através de uma possível correlação entre a estrutura narrativa e a mensagem dos contos de fada.

Abstract:
Identity is not a universally fixed term (Butler, 1990, p. 7); rather, it is complex construction produced and reproduced along the axes of gender, race, class, sexuality, education, and cultural context (Gauntlett, 2002, p. 13). As such, identity hinges on a combination of acts, (Sedgwick, 1990), hierarchical social categories (Butler, 1999), culture (Kellner, 1995, 2003), history, difference, representation, social institutions, and stories that define and shape the self through recursive and self-reflexive processes. This research investigates the impact of media culture, body image, relationships, and fairy tales on the identity formation of four young women. Specifically, I concentrate on key cultural models provided through electronic media, visual media culture, and schooling to follow the ways in which these women construct and co-construct their identities over the course of several interviews. Using discourse analysis as the primary tool of inquiry, this study investigates specific details in speech to identify key patterns in language, to interrogate the socioculturally-situated identities produced, and to illuminate relevant cultural models and context in an effort to better understand the ways in which girling and the institution of school inform female identity formation.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the intersection of fairy tales with late twentieth and early twenty-first century science fiction - specifically, the reimagining of classic fairy tales within science fictional settings. I will begin with an overview of the ways in which fairy tales and science fiction seem particularly well-suited for such an endeavor, in terms of similarity of common themes, structure, and narrative device. Next, I will examine two recent examples: Caitlín R. Kiernan's "The Road of Needles," and Tanith Lee's "Beauty," noting deviations from the traditional source material and highlighting the ways in which the original stories have been updated for modern audiences. Finally, I will offer several of my own stories that reimagine fairy tales in science fiction settings: "Curiosity," a retelling of "The Little Mermaid," "I Dream the Snowfall, the Red Earth of Mars," a retelling of "Snow White," and "Match Girl," a retelling of "The Little Match Girl."

Abstract : The main aim of this study is to investigate the translation of violence and to propose and analyse the translation strategies of English Fairy tales (EFT) to the Portuguese language. Given the cultural resilience of fairy tales and their folkloric origins, they have survived the imposition of norms in different cultures when assuming the condition of written tales. They have also changed readership throughout an array of processes of adaptations in order to suit the new readers: the children. Notwithstanding, some translations of fairy tales still bring in their plots situations of violence involving the main characters: many of them children. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the interface of Corpus-based Translation Studies (CTS) and Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). Klingberg?s (1986) categories of adaptation to the purification of violence and Chesterman?s (1997) semantic strategy add meaning to the definition of the purification strategies proposed for the analysis. For the alignment and corpus analysis it is used COPA-TRAD ? Parallel Corpus for translation research (Fernandes & Silva, 2013). After the analysis it was observed that the target text had been translated under the moral and religious motivational factors of the source culture, owing to the fact that the literature translated in Brazilian still had to comply with the Portuguese requirements for translating for children (Coelho, 1987).

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a tradução da violência e sugerir e analizar os tipos de estratégias em traduções de contos de fadas ingleses para o português brasileiro. Contos de fadas de todas as partes do mundo têm suas origens em contos folclóricos e têm sido contados de geração à geração, viajando por diversas culturas, adaptando-se à realidade cultural dos lugares que os recebem. Os contos folclóricos partem da oralidade para a escrita, passando a ser conhecidos como Contos de fadas, perdendo o direcionamento aos adultos para chegar aos olhos e ouvidos do público infantojuvenil. Com frequência, as traduções desses contos ainda trazem em seus enredos situações de violência que envolvem seus personagens principais, muitos deles crianças. Partindo desta prerrogativa, a análise dos dados tem como base as categorias para adaptação e purificação na tradução de literatura infantojuvenil de Klingberg (1986) e a estratégia semântica de Chesterman (1997) compõem a definição de estratégia de purificação proposta para análise dos dados que é feita através dos recursos adotados pelos Estudos da Tradução com base em Córpus. Para alinhamento e análise do córpus desta pesquisa utiliza-se o COPA-TRAD ? Corpus Paralelo de Tradução ? (Fernandes e Silva, 2013). Após a análise, constatou-se que o texto alvo foi traduzido tendo como referência as motivações morais e religiosas da cultura fonte, que na época da tradução ainda eram regidas pela metrópole portuguesa.

Abstract:
This thesis interrogates the historical, philosophical, and existential implications of the Black Arts Movement and its major artists on the recurring themes of social injustice, Western hegemony, and the fight for aesthetic authenticity to reimagine fairy tales for the youth Black Aesthetic. As a personal reflection and foundational document for a larger project, this work weaves these implications through the practical application of the varied stages of program development for youth artists. This project also is a handbook that encompasses scholarly research, reflective analysis and anecdotal journal evidence. The subsequent chapters explore the theological and theatre pedagogical educational influences that informed the phases of inception through completion of the 2015 Courage Summer Workshop (a six-week devised theatre workshop for middle school students) to include its two-year program history, curriculum design, and weekly program overviews.

Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=24103.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary objective of this M. A. thesis is to correct some false assumptions found in both older and more recent secondary literature on North American Indian narratives. Many folklorists base their folktale criteria on terms of cultural differences instead of similarities which results in an ethnocentric point of view that holds the Grimms' Kinder- und Hausmarchen as a standard against which all other folktale collections falls short. If we want to strive for a world view that will embrace all types of literature, while respecting the individuality of each culture, then we must focus on the essential similarities among world literatures and not the differences. The purpose of using another culture as a comparison, such as that of the North American Indians, is to question the ethnocentric definitions of folktales and fairy tales which have often been too rigid. Perhaps those cultural values exhibited by North American Indian folktales could prove to be beneficial to the world's multi-cultural society, in that these values could enrich and rejuvenate some Western values, such as respect for animals and the environment. These values may offer solutions to urgent contemporary world problems. Through a comparative analysis of the animal suitor motif found in the Grimms' fairy tales and North American Indian folktales, I hope to call attention to the stark cross-cultural similarities in universal folklore and to bring to light the multiplicity of cultural values which are deeply rooted in fairy tales and folklores around the world.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on to word problems and elementary school pupils. Research on mathematical word problems suggests that differences in success are not only due to different levels of pupils' cognitive abilities but that their motivation plays a role, too. Therefore, in this study, I focused on the context of word problem as a potential source of situational interest, which may affect the quality of pupils' cognitive function in the short term or permanently. I used my participation in a broader quantitatively oriented research on variables influencing the difficulty of word problems and using its methodology, I investigated the influence of different types of contexts on pupils' success in solving the problems. The examined aspect of context was attractiveness - the question was whether pupils would be more successful in solving word problems with elements of fairy tale, science fiction or humour than in similar problems with the same structure but with a neutral context. Pupils of the 3rd to 6th grades of primary school (n = 2 092) were divided into two groups of a comparable ability and each was presented with one of the variants - attractive or neutral. To evaluate the results quantitatively, the Item Response Theory was used allowed us to determine the difficulty of the problem depending on...

Classical fairy tales are not only used in teaching, but are also widely used in different aspects of popular culture, as they often appear in commercial advertisements. Classical fairy tales have had a tremendous effect on human beings since childhood; and the advertisements evoke the deepest emotion among human beings. Why do classical fairy tales continuously appear in advertisements of various type? Would it be the copywriter'' s special interest classical fairy tale elements? Or, would it be the fact that consumers constantly bear the classical fairy tales in mind? This dissertation attempts to observe a phenomenon that classical fairy tales have on print advertisements in Taiwan today. It draws a conclusion of how advertisements, using classical fairy tales, communicate with the consumer, and also presents meanings and features drown from the advertisements. There are five chapters in this dissertation. First is the exordium. The second chapter classifies the collected advertisement samples according to the origin of the fairy tales and the advertisement types. It observes the phenomenon classical fairy tales have on print advertisements. The third chapter examines the selected texts for features to analyze and discuss. Chapter four summarizes the way print advertisements recreate and subvert classical fairy tales in the primary message. It discovers the advertisements tell stories by using crucial elements of classical fairy tales, including people, objects, events and plots. The last part, Chapter Five, concludes the phenomenon of advertisement subversions of classical fairy tales and discusses new classical fairy tales present on the modern advertisements. Interview surveys are provided for explanation. The advertisements evoke memories of classical fairy tales; they catch consumers'' attention, and furnish a modern day rendition of classical fairy. The most significant transformation of classical fairy tales is to change the original meanings, and for the modern advertisements to subvert from classical fairy tales and make people more closed to them. It brings new thoughts to the modern readers. Movies, animations, video games, comics, etc. of popular culture constantly remind audience the memories of classical fairy tales. The advertisements show that people do not disregard fairy tales after growing elder. Children these days are multi-faceted to understand classical fairy tales. Therefore, classical fairy tales would make the meanings richer and more populous at the time.

Self beautification is woman’s instinct to chase a guarantee love and marriage in the past society. The socioeconomic activities and development offers an opportunity for women to change their concept. Participating in the labor market is a challenge for training professional capability; it also provokes women’s awareness to accomplish an ideal state of “true-self”. The idea of true-self arouses diverse female role depictions which lifts a prevalent discussion in the contemporary society. The purpose of the study is to identify the application of female role depictions in advertising vests with love styles and fairy princess phenomenon. The samples are collected from financial management and modern fashion magazines. The content analysis is adopted to figure out the prototype of love and fairy tale woven into the female role depictions. The 500 copies of print advertising are collected as sample and verified by frequency and chi-square. The outcome indicates that different magazine possesses different culture appeal, female role prototype, beauty style, make-up orientation, and love styles. The financial management magazine presents female role depictions with storge and agape love to express warming, healthy and long-term love styles. The modern fashion magazine would tend to demonstrate a mania love and ludus love. The endorser would show an emotional action and expression to present a strong temptation and love to occupy opposite. In the current era, the significant change in female role depiction can be proved by the commercial film from “Snow white” to “Princess Fiona in Shrek”. The contemporary social demand and value can be reflected upon fairy tale. The “Snow white” is no longer a unique portrayal. The modern society would focus on female individualism and specialty that is completely reverse from the past. The current advertising practitioner would create a female role with the characteristic of true, self-confidence and autonomous to satisfy the public.

Helpers in Grimm’s Fairy Tales Abstract Grimm’s Fairy Tales is a collection of German folk literature and widespread around the world. They are also what many people share in common in childhood. The most touching plot in the stories is the interaction between the main characters and helpers. The researcher aims to explore the role “helper” in Grimm’s Fairy Tales. The concept of “helper” appears in mythological archetypes and Narratological theories. Different theories acknowledge the importance of the role from different perspectives.  The study is mainly based on the book “Morphology of the Folk Tale” by Russian folklorist, Vladimir Propp. Propp analyzed the character types and their functions thoroughly. Characters have different action circles and connect with each other. Character functions have certain models and appear in various stories. Propp made stories “morphological” and the researcher applies the analysis on Grimm’s Fairy Tales. First, the study analyzes the challenges the characters encounter to ensure the contexts in which helpees need help. Then the images of helpers are collected and it is found out that besides human beings, numerous animals, fairies and deities are helpers as well. Last, various forms of help are explored and how these different helping plots influenced the process of stories are induced. It is found out that the characteristics of the helpees reflect the longing towards virtues at that time. The appearance of helpers represents the ideals people have towards goodness of human nature. Grimm’s Fairy Tales, as all the other folk literature, preserves the collective will of the people and the anticipation of faith, kindness and the future.

Not only children like to read fairy tales, but also adults who even make up the new tales continually. When Prince Charles got married with Diana in 1981, it was an attentiongetter in the world, because it made many peoples' dream come true, that is, the prince and the princess would live a happy life. However, many years passing, the prince and the princess didn't own a happy life, instead of, they hated each other and got a divorce. Especially, Princess Diana, active and self-determination, was very different from the princesses in the fairy tale. Thus, the subject for this research is to discover, how the image of the women in the fairy tale is originated and what kind of problems it incurrs in the real life.
