Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

"Once upon a time," many folktales begin, and a study of the many ways they have been studied could begin likewise. This course will explore specific types of the folktale in all their complexity, following the classic Aarne-Thompson-Üther tale type index. We shall examine issues of form, content and performance in tales like those commonly known as "Hansel and Gretel", "Cinderella", and "Snow White". Our main emphasis will be on cross-cultural comparison of mostly European and some Near Eastern, North American and African tales using the central concepts of tale type and motif.
The course will meet only four times, once monthly, so we will have to make the most of our meetings. Readings will be extensive and must be completed before the class on which they are assigned. I shall give a short quiz on the readings at the start of each class; the grades will be part of your participation percentage.
