    Graphomanische Laienkultur und Renaissance klassischer Regelpoetik, obszöne Gegenkultur und politisches Guerilla-Marketing - das widersprüchliche Kolorit der russischen Literatur im Internet verdankt sich dem historischen Kontext der Digitalisierung Russlands. In paradoxalen Wellenbewegungen konstituiert sich das russische Internet als autonomer Raum und marginales Experimentierfeld, als strategische Ressource im Kampf um die mediale Elite und die unterhaltungslustigen Massen.Henrike Schmidt eröffnet Einblicke in einen faszinierenden Kulturraum und diskutiert am russischen Spezialfall allgemeine Probleme der digitalen und vernetzten Literatur (Autorschaft, Fiktionalität, Medienwechsel)

    Tales of the werewolf are by now well established as a rich sub-strand of the popular horror genre; less widely known is just how far back in time their provenance lies. This text shows how in antiquity werewolves thrived in a story-world shared by witches, ghosts, demons, and soul-flyers, and argues for the primary role of story-telling - as opposed to rites of passage - in the ancient world's general conceptualisation of the werewolf. It also seeks to demonstrate how the comparison of equally intriguing medieval tales can be used to fill in gaps in our knowledge of werewolf stories in the ancient world, thereby shedding new light on the origins of the modern phenomenon

    This is the first study of monstrosity in Jewish history from the Middle Ages to modernity. Drawing on Jewish history, literary studies, folklore, art history and the history of science, it examines both the historical depiction of Jews as monsters and the creative use of monstrous beings in Jewish culture. Jews have occupied a liminal position within European society and culture, being deeply immersed yet outsiders to it. For this reason, they were perceived in terms of otherness and were often represented as monstrous beings. However, at the same time, European Jews invoked, with tantalizing ubiquity, images of magical, terrifying and hybrid beings in their texts, art and folktales. These images were used by Jewish authors and artists to push back against their own identification as monstrous or diabolical and to tackle concerns about religious persecution, assimilation and acculturation, gender and sexuality, science and technology and the rise of antisemitism. Bringing together an impressive cast of contributors from around the world, this fascinating volume is an invaluable resource for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates interested in Jewish studies, as well as the history of monsters

    "He's a trickster, a player, a jester. His handshake's like a pact with the devil, his smile like a crack in the clouds; he's watching you now and he's gone when you turn. Tyll Ulenspiegel is here! In a village like every other village in Germany, a scrawny boy balances on a rope between two trees. He's practising. He practises by the mill, by the blacksmiths; he practises in the forest at night, where the Cold Woman whispers and goblins roam. When he comes out, he will never be the same. Tyll will escape the ordinary villages. In the mines he will defy death. On the battlefield he will run faster than cannonballs. In the courts he will trick the heads of state. As a travelling entertainer, his journey will take him across the land and into the heart of a never-ending war. A prince's doomed acceptance of the Bohemian throne has European armies lurching brutally for dominion and now the Winter King casts a sunless pall. Between the quests of fat counts, witch-hunters and scheming queens, Tyll dances his mocking fugue; exposing the folly of kings and the wisdom of fools. With macabre humour and moving humanity, Daniel Kehlmann lifts this legend from medieval German folklore and enters him on the stage of the Thirty Years' War. When citizens become the playthings of politics and puppetry, Tyll, in his demonic grace and his thirst for freedom, is the very spirit of rebellion - a cork in water, a laugh in the dark, a hero for all time."--Provided by publisher

Veenstra -- Index. Ever since the Middle Ages the Otherworld of Faerie has been the object of serious intellectual scrutiny. What science in the end dismissed as airy nothings was given a local habitation and a name by art. This book presents some of the main chapters from the history and tradition of otherworldly spirits and fairies in the folklore and literature of the British Isles and Northern Europe. In eleven contributions different experts deal with some of the main problems posed by the scholarly and artistic confrontation with the Otherworld, which not only fuelled the imagination, but also led to the ultimate redundancy of learned perceptions of that Otherworld as it was finally obfuscated by the clarity of an enlightened age. Contributors include: Henk Dragstra, John Flood, Julian Goodare, Tette Hofstra, Robert Maslen, Richard North, Karin E. Olsen, David J. Parkinson, Rudolf Suntrup, Jan R. Veenstra, and Helen Wilcox

The volume demonstrates the cultural centrality of the oral tradition for Iranian studies. It contains contributions from scholars from various areas of Iranian and comparative studies, among which are the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian tradition with its wide network of influences in late antique Mesopotamia, notably among the Jewish milieu; classical Persian literature in its manifold genres; medieval Persian history; oral history; folklore and more. The essays in this collection embrace both the pre-Islamic and Islamic periods, both verbal and visual media, as well as various language communities (Middle Persian, Persian, Tajik, Dari) and geographical spaces (Greater Iran in pre-Islamic and Islamic medieval periods; Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan of modern times). Taken as a whole, the essays reveal the unique blending of oral and literate poetics in the texts or visual artefacts each author focuses upon, conceptualizing their interrelationship and function

    This book analyses the ways of conceptualising and interpreting the interaction between physical and metaphysical worlds in Polish folklore. A linguistic and anthropological analysis offered in this study focuses primarily on myth, ritual and symbol as reflected in language (dialect lexis, phraseology, speech acts). Employing the methodology and analytical tools of cognitive linguistics (preconceptual image schemas, cognitive scene, profiling of concepts, development of cognitive paths), the author reconstructs mental patterns at the heart of mythical thinking, linguistic actions and symbolic meanings, which reflect universal conceptual schemas and may serve as models for intercultural studies.

  12. Kalevipoeg Studies: The Creation and Reception of an Epic
    Author: Hasselblatt, Cornelius

    "The poem Kalevipoeg, over 19,000 lines in length, was composed by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald (1803–1882) on the basis on folklore material. It was published in an Estonian-German bilingual edition in six instalments between 1857 and 1861; it went on to become the Estonian national epic. This first English-language monograph on the Kalevipoeg sheds light on

    various aspects of the emergence, creation and reception of the text.

    The first chapter sketches the objectives of the book and gives a short

    summary of the contents of the twenty tales of the epic, while the second

    chapter treats the significance of the epic against the cultural background of

    nineteenth-century Estonia.

    The third chapter scrutinizes the emergence of the text in more

    detail and, in its second part, takes a closer look at the many intertextual

    connections and the traces the epic material has left in Estonian literature

    up to the present time. The fourth chapter is a detailed case study of one

    debated passage of the fifteenth tale.

    The fifth and the six chapters deal with the German reception of the epic,

    which partly took place earlier than the reception in Estonia. In the fifth

    chapter, the first reviews and an early treatise by the German scholar Wilhelm Schott (1863) are discussed. The sixth chapter presents the new genre of ‘rewritings’ of the epic – texts which cannot be labelled as translations but are rather new creations on the basis of Kreutzwald’s text.

    In the seventh chapter several versions of these retellings and adaptations

    are compared in order to show the stability of some core material conveyed

    by various authors. A concluding chapter stresses the significance of foreign

    reception in the canonization process of the Kalevipoeg. At the end, a

    comprehensive bibliography and an index are added."

    "Words as Events introduces the tradition of short, communicative rhyming couplets, the mantinádes, as still sung and recited in a variety of performance situations on the island of Crete. Recently, these poems have also entered modern mass media and they are widely being exchanged as text messages by Cretans. Focusing on the multi-functionality of the short form, Sykäri demonstrates how the traditional register gives voice to individual experiences in spontaneous utterances. The local focus on communicative economy and artistry is further examined in a close analysis of the processes and ideals of composition. By analyzing how the “restrictions” of form and performative conventions in fact generate impulses of creativity, the author creates a theoretical approach that is sensitive to the special characteristics of the short, rhymed poetic traditions. In this interdisciplinary study, the reader is invited to become familiar with the current folklore theory of oral poetry, which has a long tradition in Finland. The author combines the results of earlier folkloristic and anthropological insights, and extends the theoretical concerns further to address questions of spontaneity and individual agency. The research data has been produced in communicative interactions during long-term fieldwork. As a result, the short, rhymed poetry, often neglected by scholars in earlier research paradigms, can now be seen in new light – specifically as dialogic poetry – through its extended, multi-layered dialogic qualities."

    "This ethnographic study first analyzes the historical genesis of a specific, ethnographic body of knowledge, the knowledge of ""Tracht"" in the Ötztal, and then to ask for the current update of this knowledge in doing ""costume"" of self-producing actors. The results show that the act of ""traditional"" acting actors is situated in a field structured by power and knowledge. For this field of ""traditional"" practice and ""traditional"" knowledge it is possible to observe how the current actors cite and repeat folklore knowledge strategies. The analysis and historicization of these knowledge strategies show the long-term effectiveness of folkloristic knowledge. At the same time, the example of the ""costume"" of self-production can be used to ask about moments of cultural negotiation and change.

    Nadja Neuner-Schatz, MA studied European Ethnology in Innsbruck and researches on ethnographic production/folkloristic knowledge in the modern age, phenomena of subalternisation and the Human-Animal-Studies." "Diese ethnographische Studie analysiert zunächst die historische Genese eines spezifischen, volkskundlichen Wissensbestandes, dem Wissen von „Tracht“ im Ötztal, um dann nach der gegenwärtigen Aktualisierung dieses Wissens im Tun „Tracht“ selbst herstellender Akteur_innen zu fragen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich das Handeln „Tracht“ herstellender Akteur_innen in einem von Macht und Wissen strukturierten Feld situiert. Für dieses Feld der „Trachten“-Praxis und des „Tracht“-Wissens lässt sich beobachten, wie die gegenwärtigen Akteur_innen volkskundliche Wissensstrategien zitieren und wiederholen. Die Analyse und Historisierung dieser Wissensstrategien zeigen die langzeitige Wirkmächtigkeit volkskundlichen Wissens. Zugleich lässt sich am Fallbeispiel des „Tracht“ Selbstherstellens nach Momenten des kulturellen Aushandelns und Wandels fragen.

    Why are Khanty shamans still active? What are the folklore collectives of Komi? Why are the rituals of Udmurts performed at cultural festivals? In their insightful ethnographic study Anna-Leena Siikala and Oleg Ulyashev attempt to answer such questions by analysing the recreation of religious traditions, myths, and songs in public and private performances. Their work is based on long term fieldwork undertaken during the 1990s and 2000s in three different places, the Northern Ob region in North West Siberia and in the Komi and Udmurt Republics. It sheds light on how different traditions are favoured and transformed in multicultural Russia today. Siikala and Ulyashev examine rituals, songs, and festivals that emphasize specificity and create feelings of belonging between members of families, kin groups, villages, ethnic groups, and nations, and interpret them from a perspective of area, state, and cultural policies. A closer look at post-Soviet Khanty, Komi and Udmurts shows that opportunities to perform ethnic culture vary significantly among Russian minorities with different histories and administrative organisation. Within this variation the dialogue between local and administrative needs is decisive.

    "White field, black seeds – who can sow? Although the riddle from which this these words are taken comes from oral tradition, it refers to the ability to write, a skill which in most Nordic countries was not regarded as necessary for everyone. And yet a significant number of ordinary people with no access to formal schooling took up the pen and produced a variety of highly interesting texts: diaries, letters, memoirs, collections of folklore and handwritten newspapers.

     

    This collection presents the work of primarily Nordic scholars from fields such as linguistics, history, literature and folklore studies who share an interest in the production, dissemination and reception of written texts by non-privileged people during the long nineteenth century. "

    The fourth volume in the Approaches to Culture Theory series is a contemporary Estonian anthology in culture theory. Most of the authors are members of the research groups of the Centre of Excellence in Cultural Theory: archaeology, cultural communication studies, contemporary cultural studies, ethnology, folkloristics, religious studies, landscape studies, and semiotics. These scholars have revised their recent work to highlight current topics in culture theory in Estonia and use theoretical analyses to advance the self-description and self-understanding of culture. Contributors include Aili Aarelaid-Tart, Martin Ehala, Halliki Harro-Loit, Tiiu Jaago, Anne Kull, Kalevi Kull, Kristin Kuutma, Valter Lang, Art Leete, Kati Lindström, Mihhail Lotman, Hannes Palang, Rein Raud, Raul Tiganik, Peeter Torop, Ülo Valk, and Tõnu Viik.

    Den Gegenstand vorliegender Untersuchung stellt die Prosa J.Š. Baars, konkret dann die "Chodentrilogie" ("Chodská trilogie" ) und ihre Beziehung zur Folklore wie auch zum literarhistorischen Kontext dar. Das heißt, daß in dieser Arbeit auch die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Prozesse um die Jahrhundertwende berücksichtigt werden, die für die zeitgenössische Entwicklung der literarischen Werke nicht ohne Bedeutung sind.

    Eine Festgabe wie die vorliegende, dem Jubilar zum 60. Geburtstag gewidmete Schrift, spiegelt wohl immer auch ein Wechselspiel von Anregung und Reaktion, Korrespondenz und Bezugnahme wider. So lässt auch diese Festschrift in ihrer methodischen Anordnung und thematischen Breite Rückschlüsse auf den wissenschaftlichen Werdegang des Jubilars sowie seine Interessen und Arbeitsschwerpunkte zu.
