Untitled document
By the end of the semester, students will:
1. Identify major features of an oral tradition in fairy tales.
2. Analyze recurring motifs and symbols in fairy tales and understand
their significance.
3. Identify the contributions of number of theoretical positions on
the nature of fairy tale, for example, those of Tolkien, Luthi,
Bettleheim, von Franz, LeGuin, Opie, The Finnish School, Thompson and
choose an appropriate interpretive mode.
4. Compare and contrast fairy tales from a variety of cultures.
5. Explore fairy tales from a critical point of view and examine their
broadly human dimension as well as the contributions of their unique
cultures.
6. Identify features of tales which distinguish the oral and literary
traditions.
Topics and Scope
Untitled document
The course is on fairy tale not the theories about fairy tale. The
content of the course is, then, the study of a series of specific tales.
However, these will be explored from different critical points of view
in order to offer the student a range of interpretative modes. The
tales will represent a variety of cultures. There will be only minimal
explorations of analyses and catalogues from the library, but the
students will get some familiarity with analytic tools there.
Sample topics:
1. Insights from the theories (Tolkien, Bettleheim)
2. Insights (Luthi, von Franz)
3. Effects and richness of an oral tradition
4. Meaning and form in fairy tale
5. Saint's legend, local legend, fairy tale
6. Style in fairy tales
7. The uses of fairy tales
8. Symbolism in the fairy tale
9. The literary fairy tale
10. The role of animal helpers
11. The fairy tale as representation of the maturation process
12. The fairy tale hero: the image of man--or better: of woman--in
fairy tale
Assignments:
Untitled document
There will be specific reading assignments for each week of the
semester. In addition, each student will submit three (3) brief papers,
each on a different tale and each representing a different critical
approach, each student will present to the class orally the analysis
of a single tale, and each will write a final examination covering
the course as a whole.
