Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici une somme considérable, vivante et colorée, qui rassemble toutes les légendes, tous les événements fantastiques, tous les récits extraordinaires recensés ou intervenus dans le moindre village de France, du Moyen Age au début du XXe siècle. C'est un ouvrage irremplaçable pour connaître la géographie et la diversité de l'imaginaire de notre pays en des siècles où il s'exprimait exclusivement par la tradition orale, la fiction littéraire n'étant apparue que très tardivement. Sur le plan de la valeur ethnographique, ce livre composé par Paul Sébillot de 1904 à 1906, et paru sous le titre réducteur de Folklore de France, est à la fois une bénédiction, et un testament : il fait revivre des sources orales définitivement taries ; il nous livre, brutes, les diverses explications du monde, les interprétations dés phénomènes naturels élaborées dans les campagnes d'autrefois ; il représente ce qui nous reste de l'héritage naufragé de nos ancêtres. C'est aussi le premier témoignage publié de ce que le Manifeste du Surréalisme appelle " l'éternel affrontement de la pensée mythique et de la pensée rationaliste ". Un témoignage... et une revanche.

Download or read book Storied and Supernatural Places written by Ülo Valk and published by Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the narrative construction of places, the relationship between tradition communities and their environments, the supernatural dimensions of cultural landscapes and wilderness as they are manifested in European folklore and in early literary sources, such as the Old Norse sagas. The first section “Explorations in Place-Lore” discusses cursed and sacred places, churches, graveyards, haunted houses, cemeteries, grave mounds, hill forts, and other tradition dominants in the micro-geography of the Nordic and Baltic countries, both retrospectively and from synchronous perspectives. The supernaturalisation of places appears as a socially embedded set of practices that involves storytelling and ritual behaviour. Articles show, how places accumulate meanings as they are layered by stories and how this shared knowledge about environments can actualise in personal experiences. Articles in the second section “Regional Variation, Environment and Spatial Dimensions” address ecotypes, milieu-morphological adaptation in Nordic and Baltic-Finnic folklores, and the active role of tradition bearers in shaping beliefs about nature as well as attitudes towards the environment. The meaning of places and spatial distance as the marker of otherness and sacrality in Old Norse sagas is also discussed here. The third section of the book “Traditions and Histories Reconsidered” addresses major developments within the European social histories and mentalities. It scrutinizes the history of folkloristics, its geopolitical dimensions and its connection with nation building, as well as looking at constructions of the concepts Baltic, Nordic and Celtic. It also sheds light on the social base of folklore and examines vernacular views toward legendry and the supernatural.

Download or read book The Golden Age of Folk and Fairy Tales written by and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, attitudes toward history and national identity fostered a romantic rediscovery of folk and fairy tales. This is the period of the Golden Age of folk and fairy tales, when European folklorists sought to understand and redefine the present through the common tales of the past, and long neglected stories became recognized as cultural treasures. In this rich collection, distinguished expert of fairy tales Jack Zipes continues his lifelong exploration of the story-telling tradition with a focus on the Golden Age. Included are one hundred eighty-two tales--many available in English for the first time--grouped into eighteen tale types. Zipes provides an engaging general Introduction that discusses the folk and fairy tale tradition, the impact of the Brothers Grimm, and the significance of categorizing tales into various types. Short introductions to each tale type that discuss its history, characteristics, and variants provide readers with important background information. Also included are annotations, short biographies of folklorists of the period, and a substantial bibliography. Eighteen original art works by students of the art department of Anglia Ruskin University not only illustrate the eighteen tale types, but also provide delightful—and sometimes astonishing—21st-century artistic interpretations of them.

This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of a two-volume Handbook treats a challenging, largely neglected subject at the crossroads of several academic fields: biblical studies, reception history of the Bible, and folklore studies or folkloristics. The Handbook examines the reception of the Bible in verbal folklores of different cultures around the globe. This first volume, complete with a general Introduction, focuses on biblically-derived characters, tales, motifs, and other elements in Jewish (Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ashkenazi), Romance (French, Romanian), German, Nordic/Scandinavian, British, Irish, Slavic (East, West, South), and Islamic folkloric traditions. The volume contributes to the understanding of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, the New Testament, and various pseudepigraphic and apocryphal scriptures, and to their interpretation and elaboration by folk commentators of different faiths. The book also illuminates the development, artistry, and “migration” of folktales; opens new areas for investigation in the reception history of the Bible; and offers insights into the popular dimensions of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities around the globe, especially regarding how the holy scriptures have informed those communities’ popular imaginations.

Download or read book La France des croyances paysannes written by Véronique Willemin and published by Editions de Lodi/EDL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les paysans d'hier étaient au contact permanent de la nature, à son écoute quotidienne, afin de pouvoir vivre et survivre... Un troupeau malade, la sécheresse qui sévit, une femme qui n'a pas de lait pour nourrir son nouveau-né. Comment faire ? A qui faire confiance ? A la science ? A l'Eglise ou aux croyances populaires ? Les rebouteux, les fontaines miraculeuses, les pierres guérisseuses, les saints protecteurs, les dictons des bêtes, des plantes et des saisons, les cérémonies pour protéger les troupeaux et les récoltes, les objets symboliques pour s'attirer la fortune et la bienveillance de la Nature. Que reste-t-il de ces croyances paysannes ? de cette médecine populaire ? de ces cérémonies agricoles ? des cérémonies solaires et lunaires en phase avec les cycles des saisons ? des cérémonies familiales rattachées aux coutumes régionales (naissance, baptême, fiançailles, mariage, enterrement) ? Comme au cours d'une veillée villageoise, Véronique Willemin évoque, dans ce livre richement illustré, le temps qui passe, les querelles paysannes, les légendes, les fêtes, les chansons, les rites, les sorts, les moments de bonheurs et de difficultés à travers des témoignages vivants, et des documents inédits. Ce livre rend un bel hommage à toutes ces femmes et tous ces hommes qui ont su transmettre jusqu'à ce jour, leur mode de pensée et d'appréhension instinctif du monde paysan et de ses mystères.
