Abstract

Abstract:This article examines fantasies of race and place in Scandinavian children’s literature of the mid-1800s to early 1900s. Overtly fictionalized accounts of journeys to “fairy-tale landscapes” in the Scandinavian context take the form of “Journeys to the North”—in particular the “Journey to Lapland.” Although these narratives rest on a well-formed mythology of the North as a locus of fascination both imagined and encountered as well as on standard fairy-tale motifs and structures, they nonetheless constitute lessons on race, place, and identity for future modern subjects.

走进“冰雪之国”:北方童话风景中的种族幻想

摘要：本文考察了19世纪中期至20世纪初斯堪的纳维亚儿童文学中对种族和地方的幻想。在斯堪的纳维亚背景下，对“童话风景”之旅的公开虚构描述采用了“北方之旅”的形式，尤其是“拉普兰之旅”。尽管这些叙事建立在一个形成良好的北方神话之上，它是想象和遇到的迷人之地，也建立在标准的童话主题和结构之上，尽管如此，它们还是为未来的现代学科提供了关于种族、地点和身份的课程。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
