Download or read book Indian Fairy Tales Contes De Fees Indiens written by Joseph Jacobs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a representative collection of the Fairy Tales of India. The majority of the tales in this book have been known in the West in some form or other, and the problem arises how to account for their simultaneous existence in farthest West and East. Some have declared that India is the Home of the Fairy Tale, and that all European fairy tales have been brought from thence by Crusaders, by Mongol missionaries, by Gipsies, by Jews, by traders, by travellers. The question is still before the courts, and one can only deal with it as an advocate. So far as the children of Europe have their fairy stories in common, these-and they form more than a third of the whole-are derived from India. In particular, the majority of the Drolls or comic tales and jingles can be traced, without much difficulty, back to the Indian peninsula. (Ce livre est une collection représentative des contes de fées de l'Inde. La majorité des contes de ce livre ont été connus en Occident sous une forme ou une autre, et le problème se pose comment rendre compte de leur existence simultanée dans le plus éloigné Ouest et Est. Certains ont déclaré que l'Inde est la maison des contes de fées, et que tous les contes de fées européens ont été amenés de là par les croisés, les missionnaires mongoles, les bohémiens, les juifs, les commerçants, les voyageurs. La question est toujours disputée, et on ne peut le traiter comme un avocat. Pour autant que les enfants d'Europe ont leurs contes de fées en commun, ceux-ci - et ils forment plus d'un tiers de l'ensemble - sont dérivés de l'Inde. En particulier, la majorité des drolls ou des contes et des jingles comiques peut ètre tracée, sans grande difficulté, de retour à la péninsule indienne.)
Download or read book Baba Yaga written by Andreas Johns and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baba Yaga is a well-known witch from the folklore tradition of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. A fascinating and colorful character, she resembles witches of other traditions but is in many ways unique. Living in the forest in a hut that stands and moves on chicken legs, she travels in a mortar with a pestle and sweeps away her tracks with a broom. In some tales she tries to harm the protagonist, while in others she is helpful. This book investigates the image and ambiguity of Baba Yaga in detail and considers the meanings she has for East Slavic culture. Providing a broad survey of folktales and other sources, it is the most thorough study of Baba Yaga yet published and will be of interest to students of anthropology, comparative literature, folklore, and Slavic and East European studies.

Download or read book Pirate Enlightenment or the Real Libertalia written by David Graeber and published by Signal. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final book from David Graeber, the iconic intellectual, activist, and co-author of the New York Times bestseller, The Dawn of Everything. Pirates have long lived in the realm of romance and fantasy, symbolizing risk, lawlessness, and radical visions of freedom. But at the root of this mythology is a rich history of pirate societies— vibrant, imaginative experiments in self-governance and alternative social formations at the edges of European empire. In graduate school, David Graeber conducted ethnographic field research in Madagascar, producing what would eventually become a doctoral thesis on the island’s magic, slavery, and politics. During this time, he encountered the Zana-Malata, an ethnic group made up of mixed descendants of the many pirates who settled on the island at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Pirate Enlightenment, or the True Libertalia, Graeber's final posthumous book, is the outgrowth of this early research, written while he and David Wengrow were working on what would become their major bestseller, The Dawn of Everything. In direct conversation with that work, Graeber explores how the proto-democratic, even libertarian practices of the Zana-Malata came to shape the Enlightenment project defined for too long as distinctly European. The result is a short but sweeping exploration of the non-European origins of what we consider to be “Western” thought, and an endeavor to recover forgotten forms of social and political order that gesture toward new, hopeful possibilities for the future.
Download or read book Contes et l gendes des pays de l Inde written by Maurice Coyaud and published by Primento. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un florilège de mythes, de contes et de légendes permet de pénétrer dans l'imaginaire des pays de l'Inde Les grands savants du XIXe siècle étaient convaincus que tous les mythes et les contes ont vu le jour en Inde et sont arrivés en Europe dans un passé immémorial. Cette passion pour le patrimoine mythologique de l'une des plus anciennes civilisations du monde ne s'est jamais démentie. Maurice Coyaud [...] reprend quelques grands mythes de Veda et de Ramayana [...] Mais son objectif principal est de faire connaître l'extrême diversité des mythes et des contes d'origine racontés encore au XXe siècle aux quatre coins de cet énorme sous-continent que représente l'Inde. L'univers fabuleux regorge de toutes sortes de démons, de fées et d'autres créatures fantastiques qui ne manquent aucune occasion de se mêler de la vie des humains. Ainsi, les fées péri ne sont jamais très loin et complotent volontiers des tours pour permettre aux pauvres de se nourrir grâce à une marmite magique et faire fuir les méchants richards qui aimeraient bien s'en emparer. Qui d'autre que la fille des serpents serait à même d'aider le beau prince à trouver un léopard doré, un serpent doré et un singe doré dansant ensemble, pour accéder au trône du radja ? Les contes indiens racontent volontiers les ruses des humains qui les aident à vaincre les diables les plus futés. En effet, seule la très rusée femme tamoule peut prendre le dessus sur le démon brahmarakshasa, en lui imposant une tâche trop difficile : le plus astucieux des diables s'avère incapable de rendre bien droit un cheveu frisé de la femme tamoule. À PROPOS DE LA COLLECTION « Aux origines du monde » (à partir de 12 ans) permet de découvrir des contes et légendes variés qui permettent de comprendre comment chaque culture explique la création du monde et les phénomènes les plus quotidiens. L’objectif de cette collection est de faire découvrir au plus grand nombre des contes traditionnels du monde entier, inédits ou peu connus en France. Et par le biais du conte, s’amuser, frissonner, s’évader... mais aussi apprendre, approcher de nouvelles cultures, s’émerveiller de la sagesse (ou de la malice !) populaire. DANS LA MÊME COLLECTION • Contes et légendes de France • Contes et légendes de la Chine • Contes et légendes du Burkina-Faso • Contes et légendes d'Allemagne, de Suisse et d'Autriche • Contes et récits des Mayas
Download or read book Pronoun Envy Literary Uses of Linguistic Gender written by Berkeley Anna Livia Visiting Assistant Professor of French University of California and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000-11-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy over gendered pronouns, for example using the generic "he," has been a staple of feminist arguments about patriarchal language over the last 30 years, and is certainly the most contested political issue in Western feminist linguistics. Most accounts do not extend beyond policy issues like the official institution of non-sexist language. In this volume, Anna Livia reveals continuities both before and after the sexist language refore movement and shows how the creative practices of pronoun use on the part of feminist writers had both aesthetic and political ends. Livia uses the term "pronoun envy" ironically to show that rather being a case of misguided envy, battles over gendered language are central to feminist concerns. Livia examines a broad corpus of written texts in English and French, concentrating on those texts which problematize the traditional functioning of the linguistic gender system. They range from novels and prose poems to film scripts and personal testimonies, and in time from the 19th century to the present. Some withhold any indication of gender; others have non-gendered characters. Livia's goal is two-fold; to help bridge the divide between linguistic and literary analysis, and to show how careful study of the manipulation of linguistic gender in these texts informs larger concerns. This fresh and highly interdisciplinary work lies at the intersection of several vital areas, including language and gender, sociolinguistics, and feminist literary analysis.
