The author introduces the concept of a camp fairy tale. In the first part of the article, she analyses the elements of folk fairy tale in Posmysz’s texts (space, time, characters, magical objects). In the second part, the author outlines a definition of a separate prose genre – a camp fairy tale, characterized not only by the adaptation of folk fairy tale motifs to concentration camp realities, but also by the fact that this fairy tale, originally told in the concentration camp, is narrated or written down from memory and recounted to listeners by a former prisoner who gives a testimony of life and death in the camp.","PeriodicalId":32873,"journal":{"name":"Literatura Ludowa","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136186217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Fairy Tale Motifs in the Slavic Universe of Marta Krajewska","authors":"Jolanta Ługowska","doi":"10.12775/ll.1.2023.005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/ll.1.2023.005","url":null,"abstract":"Marta Krajewska’s series of novels forming the so-called Slavic universe (Idź i czekaj mrozów, 2016, Zaszyj oczy wilkom, 2017 Wezwijcie moje dzieci, 2021) is characterized by noticeable generic syncretism, with fairy tales playing an important role in the construction of the presented world. In her trilogy, the author draws on the most popular, universal fairy tale motifs recorded in international catalogues as well as in Polska bajka ludowa w układzie systematycznym (The Systematic Catalogue of the Polish Folk Tale) by Julian Krzyżanowski, using as the basis of her own story. Krajewska applies the plot patterns of these fairy tales (T. 400A “Urvasi”, T. 333 “Little Red Riding Hood”, T. 425 “The Quest for a Lost Husband”) in the construction of the fates of her protagonists; they also appear by way of folkloric quotes, present, for example, in dialogue replies of the characters. In the narratives of the novels, the writer also devotes a lot of space to the phenomenon of oral transmission of fairy tales, characteristic of folk tradition, and the function of this phenomenon in the life of the local community. However, the numerous references to folk tradition do not mean that Krajewska recreates the logic of selected motifs established in the folk tradition, with their characteristic intentionality and moral messages. The main novelty of the literary approach to traditional tales (especially the story of Little Red Riding Hood) lies in the author’s departure from the fairy tale’s warning role and in her focus on the ambivalence of fascination and horror evoked in the heroine by the figure of the wolf, which in the narrative structure initiates a complex love story with dramatic complications and frequent plot twists, leading, however, towards a happy ending.","PeriodicalId":32873,"journal":{"name":"Literatura Ludowa","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48749181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The Cemetery and the Fear of the Dead","authors":"Vito Carrassi","doi":"10.12775/ll.1.2023.011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/ll.1.2023.011","url":null,"abstract":"Fear is a characteristic feature of many legends. And the fear of the death is probably our deepest fear. Death is a crucial event in folk culture, as it triggers an existential crisis which must be duly managed. The living need to distance themselves from the dead in order not to lose their own “presence” in the world. To maintain this distance, people can rely on a dedicated place, the cemetery, where the fear of the dead can be mastered and framed in a sacred dimension. Cemetery may be regarded as a liminal, hybrid space, connecting life and death, the human and the divine, the visible and the invisible. Hence, it can turn into a critical, dangerous place, a “legend landscape”, where odd, mysterious, frightening encounters are possible or, at least, believable. This is especially so if one enters a cemetery at night, when it is forbidden to the living and the darkness creates the perfect stage for fearsome presences. In the ATU 1676B narrative type, an individual bets to enter a cemetery at night in order to show her/his courage and/or refute the belief of the dead as ghosts, but this gamble results in a death from fright. A different case concerns the fate of those who face the night in the cemetery with genuine courage and respect towards the dead, as in a folktale collected by W.B. Yeats (ATU 326), and a (true) story of a woman sleeping in the cemetery (Motif Index C735.2.5). Overall, the cemetery emerges as an ideal setting for a cautionary tale, through which local communities meditate on key issues such as death, fear and belief/non-belief.","PeriodicalId":32873,"journal":{"name":"Literatura Ludowa","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46297286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
