The main subject of the study is the fabulous transformation of the tale’s protagonist from a loser into a winner. The research was performed within the archetypal paradigm originated by C. G. Jung (1875–1961). A simplified content analysis of the text was carried out using a set of archetypes composed of elements from the collections of С. Pearson and С. Myss. The study managed to a) identify the archetypal picture that accompanied the protagonist’s sad journey, b) find the key archetypes responsible for his unrelenting motivation to survive and search for a better life, and c) identify the archetypal mechanism of the hero’s transformation from a loser and an outcast into a winner. The results obtained allow us to conclude that Andersen’s fairy tale The Ugly Duckling is valuable from a scientific point of view as a treasure trove of human knowledge and historical experience. This fairy tale has great potential when applied to psychotherapy of trauma and to education, concretely, for work with children who have special needs. Great prospects for its use open up in the workplace, including management and the role training of manufacturers. In our rapidly developing information society, it seems that demand for this fairy tale will only grow.","PeriodicalId":36647,"journal":{"name":"IAFOR Journal of Literature and Librarianship","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90893051","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}

This paper attempts to address gender politics in the formulation of horror in the visual adaptation of the famous Assamese folktale “Tejeemola” (1911) in Bhaskar Hazarika’s film Kothanodi (The River of Fables, 2015). The interval of almost a century makes Kothanodi undisputedly informed by contemporary postmodern discourses on femininity, sexuality, and socio-cultural changes in the conventions of gender. The retelling utilizes the trope of motherhood in the construction of the monstrous feminine to evoke fear. The paper looks critically at a) the cultural implications of fear in the visual adaptation by interrogating the monstrous feminine against the cultural glorification and romanticization of the maternal feminine, and b) how fear is used as a culturally rooted gendered tool in the language of cinema, drawing from Scruton’s Sociophobics: The Anthropology of Fear. The objective of this critical analysis is to recognize the fragile and fluid borders which shape our idea of fear and disassociate it from the intricate web of cultural conditioning.","PeriodicalId":36647,"journal":{"name":"IAFOR Journal of Literature and Librarianship","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73339002","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}

This essay focuses on the hare/rabbit as a popular character in animal tales, with an attempt to enhance intercultural relations in the Ukrainian/English world by explaining the peculiarities of the surrounding reality present in beast stories. The paper discloses similar and distinctive characteristics of animal stories on two levels, that is, by contrasting the author’s literary tale with the folk-tale, and by studying the collective image of hare in Ukrainian folk-tales against the background of Peter Rabbit from Beatrix Potter’s stories. The research does not dwell on the zoological peculiarities of the chosen animals or the Aesop fables, but highlights the psychological characteristics of the animals under study in the context of their “national identities”. The work results in disclosing a deep connection between games and animal tales; since both the storyteller’s and the audience’s mental work is based on the game-like perception of the virtual world of the story. The literary images of the hare/rabbit in Ukrainian and British tales differ radically. Ukrainian animals are presented as meek and subdued creatures relying on outside help and rarely (ranking sixth amongst animal protagonists) becoming the leading characters. In contrast, British bunnies are energetic and boisterous, trying their best to overcome any difficulties. The authors explain this fact by references to differences in the historical development of the two cultures under analysis.","PeriodicalId":36647,"journal":{"name":"IAFOR Journal of Literature and Librarianship","volume":"58 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135409838","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}
