Full textSilesia has traditionally been the common ground of communication between poles, czechs and germans but il has also been open to other influences (tatares, hungarians, jews, gypsies and valacs). It is geographically composed of a plain, the oder valley and mountainous regions, the sudeten mountains and the silesian beskide (carpathia). This study devotes itself both to the types of silesian musical folklore (syncretism, polymorphism of verse, the mixture of musical codes) as well as to the methodological context (general considerations and an analysis of the text and music of the songs as well as their variants). Silesian traditions are expressed in different ways : dwellings, craftwork, family customs particularly related to weddings, dances, dress and the making of traditional musical instruments. The silesian dialect contains archaisms long forgotten in the rest of the country. Silesian sung verse is polymorphic and varies from the short southern songs to the longer songs of the north. In analysing the melodies, particularly those of the beskides, new tools and concepts were necessary e. G. The ethnopsychological concept of rythm, the primary mountain musical cell, the ideas of the "very early" second interval (valac) autogenic modes, the concept of "deformed" and "transformed" the explanation of certain mobile degrees, of static and dynamic models and of their resting points, of "aleatorical instrumental chromaticism" and finally the collage of different types of models. Through text analysis it could be established that these songs are mostly "words of women" which refer to the transition from girl to married woman and reveal ancestral customs still prevalent in silesian society. The analysis of the songs has also uncovered certain rules concerning oral tradition

Full textFolklore is a multiple phenomenon, which can be perceived and interpreted differently. Its appreciation by modern society is controversial. On the one hand, it is seen as the value of certain medium which expresses and furthers the maintenance of ethical identification, on the other hand, it is seen as a phenomenon which does not meet the needs of humans living in the modern world and thus, becoming unvaluable. Folklore may be important to people of the modern world if it is seen as the way of educating personality or community with the help of folklore elements, but not as performance on a stage. In such a way environment for natural existence of folklore is created, which brings back to life the functions of folklore not only such as ethical representation but also some other, which are important to modern society. Also, it helps to solve social problems. One of the most important problems when refreshing folklore becomes its popularization which is analyzed in the paper. The aim of the paper was reached by taking examples of three Kaunas children‘s folklore groups. The reasons of their success were revealed with the help of the collected information about the folklore groups, their activity, working methods of the teachers and comparison of the teachers‘ activity principles and methodology. The problems that the teachers of the folklore groups and folklore itself meet are highlighted as well as the possible solutions to the problems are given. Also, a broader... [to full text]

Yang, Su Jin. "Adapting Korean Cinderella Folklore as Fairy Tales for Children." Thesis, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3622966.
Full textCinderella 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.

Full textQuantum cryptography builds upon decades of advances both in classical cryptography and networks. However, contrary to its classical counterparts, it is still in its infancy applicability-wise, even in the scenario where powerful quantum computers are readily available, and more theoretical work is required before it can provide concrete benefits. The first goal is to formalise in rigorous quantum security frameworks the properties of various techniques that have been transposed, often without proper justification, from the classical world.Then, the recent developments in quantum technologies suggest a mostly cloud-based future availability of quantum devices. Therefore, quantum computation and communication cost of protocol participants must be lowered before being useful.Finally, in most situations, additional steps need to be taken to tailor protocols to the specifications of devices. This allows for optimisations both in terms of quantum memory and operation requirements.This thesis contributes to these three aspects by: (i) giving the first general security definition of the Quantum Cut-and-Choose, a technique for proving the correctness of a quantum message; (ii) presenting a more realistic framework of security against superposition attacks, where classical protocols run on inherently quantum devices; (iii) constructing an efficient delegated multi-party quantum computation protocol, allowing clients to delegate securely to a quantum server a private computation; (iv) building a method for verifying the honesty of a quantum server performing computations on behalf of a client with no operation or memory overhead compared to the unprotected computation

Full textThis thesis explores crow and wolf symbolism within the mythology of Western Tradition, focusing on the Bible, Greek and Roman mythology, Native American folklore, Shakespeare, and Aesop's fables. Much of the animal imagery in literature is negative and does not truthfully represent the animals symbolized. This thesis investigates why these negative associations are formed, how they relate to the biological lives of wolves and crows, and explores their ambiguity in relation to the positive symbolism that exists. Negative symbols acquire strength as cultures grow further away from the land they live on and focus on industry and humanity instead of the world around them. The behavior of both wolves and crows is secretive, causing people to create stories to explain their actions. Furthermore, humans use these animals as a "shadow" to themselves, bestowing characteristics upon them which are found in human nature but are generally considered unacceptable

This thesis stands as the first part of the earliest novel in a series that will appeal to the mass public, utilizing well-celebrated fairy tale elements and introducing old elements of courtly romance from the medieval literature period. In doing so, I have worked to create a fantastical world with obvious parallels to historical and present notions of society, culture, and human interactions, but with a new and interesting twist on concepts readers are familiar with. The universe I’ve created is able to be introduced in this first installment and gradually broadened as the series progresses to prevent exhaustive detail which may distract the reader. Also, it is restricted by specific laws in terms of magical abilities and power in order to give the reader boundaries to react within and prevent the unhelpful limitlessness that causes a loss of interest. The main character, Emily Fenhorn, is a thirteen-year-old girl who is fairly average in her adolescence. She’s neither the weakest nor the strongest character, leaving room for both growth and human frailty. The conflicts that affect Emily in this first installment center primarily on problems that teenagers deal with on a regular basis such as the need for acceptance, making new friends, making and dealing with enemies, popularity, and academic concerns. Unlike other thirteen-year-olds, Emily is plagued by a horrifying ‘gift’ that she doesn’t know how to control; a gift which ends up earning her place at Grimm’s Reformatory.
