Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 134 pp., bibliography. "An examination of the mystery of folktales, this study takes a look into the heart of one folktale in order to use it as a model for all folktales. It analyses over seventy folk versions of "Snow White" in order to reveal their shared narrative cor…e of episodes and themes. The investigation documents the way that different versions adhere to a basic structure of nine episodes and the way that they maintain the same thematic focus on the issues of adolescent maturation. Ultimately, these mechanisms of structural and symbolic equivalence underlying the versions of "Snow White" may well explain the way that this and other folktales can and do survive in oral tradition.".

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 111 p., bibliography. Though devoted specifically to the life history of the anecdote folklorists know as Tale Type 1676A/Motif K1682.1, Big 'Fraid and Little 'Fraid, this study more generally assess the manner in which the circuitous epistemology of the tale indices comp…iled by, or in emulation of, Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson covertly subverted Richard Dorson's controversial conclusions concerning the origins of Afro-American oral narratives, as well as the arguments of those who have challenged his position. In rewriting the accepted account of a single story, then, this essay simultaneously discovers a more fundamental and far-reaching misunderstanding of type and motif indices as aids in identifying the provenience of folktales.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 117 pp. The Mayan Culture, long recognised as among the most advanced indigenous groups of Latin America, possesses a rich heritage of mythology and traditions still very apparent in the Yacatan Peninsula at the closing of the twentieth century. Although Mayan legends hav…e been studied and published as early as 1844, there exists no extensive motif-index dealing with the topic. This work attemps to help fill that need by indexing the works of Yacatecan writer Luis Rosaldo Vega.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 173 pp. Includes: illustrations, index, bibliography. "What is the attitude of the scholar of Comparative Religion to religion and religiosity? What is the specific method in Comparative Religion? Does the study of religions differ from other corresponding disciplines? Th…e present volume tries to answer these questions on the basis of fieldwork among Sinhalese Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka and Orthodox monks and pilgrims on the Holy Mountain of Athos in Greece. Apart from refining a more perceptive view of religion and religiosity, study elucidates the definition of religion and the principles applied in the comparative study of religions by factual cases from these two cultural fields.".

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 154 pp. Includes bibliography. The Tales of the Ploughwoman is a selection of folk narratives from Galicia in Northwest Spain. Both tales of wonder, realistic tales, funny stories, legends and jokes are clear exponents of woman s natural supremacy. It is due neither to poetic fiction nor female wishfu…l thinking when the woman in Galician tales is the heir of the kingdom and the heroine who can overcome all obstacles. Women appear in active heroe roles, as mother and ruler, as fairy or witch, while men constantly appear as victims, villains or clownish heroes. This is all the natural order in accordance with the cultural and economic female dominance that prevailed until very recently in those parts of rural Spain, as described in The World of the Ploughwoman (FFC 254). Over half of the tales are published here for the first time. They were collected by the author or by her husband, Gustav Henningsen, during their folkloristic fieldwork in Galicia respectively in the 1960s and 1970s.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 112 pp., illustrations, bibliography. Among the most popular of all African-American folktales is the story folklorists know as "The Coon in the Box," itself a derivative of the extremely old and widespread narrative usually identified, after Brothers Grimm, as "Doctor Know-All" (Doktor Allwissend) (A…aTh 1641). Not coincidentally, this item has served as a centerpiece in the debate over the sources of New World black folktales. A detailed analysis of "The Coon in the Box, " its life history and cultural context thus reveals a great deal not only of the nature of African-American oral narratives in and of themselves, but also of the challenges confronting scholars in investigating the origins, diffusion, and development of these traditions.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 156 pp., bibliography, index. This book studies the structure and style of orally transmitted fairy tales from Eastern Morocco in Berber and dialectal Arabic. Drawing on materials collected in his own fieldwork and other sources, the author pays special attention to the a…esthetics of the fairy tale as understood by Max Lüthi and to the analysis of tale-specific formulae. Two hitherto unpublished Figuig Berber fairy tales are appended, as is a comparison of two versions of an Eastern Riffian story which, though collected independently at an interval of 60 years, show remarkable similarities.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 282 p. Includes: illustrations, index, bibliography. The focus of this book revolves around two manifestly representative texts from the early twentieth century: Johan Turi's story of Sámi experience Muitalus Sámiid Birra and the Seto epic Peko performed by Anne Vabarna.…The current analysis of the complex performative interaction between the culture bearer, his or her repertoire, and the culture researcher benefits from an interdisciplinary anthropological and folkloristic approach, informed by hybridity and the blurring of disciplinary boundaries in historicizing inquiries into cultural documentation and textual practices.
